Senate Gun-Bill Debate Begins After Hurdle Overcome
WASHINGTON—The Senate voted Thursday to begin the process of bringing gun-control legislation to the floor, entering a new stage of the national debate over gun violence four months after an elementary-school shooting in Newtown, Conn.
A bipartisan group of lawmakers defeated a GOP attempt to block the bill from coming to the floor. Sixteen Republicans joined all but two Democrats in the 68-31 vote to advance the legislation, clearing the way for the Senate to likely begin considering amendments early next week.
If the package of gun legislation passes both the Senate and the House—still an uncertain prospect—it would mark "a significant step," said Jens Ludwig, director of the University of Chicago Crime Lab.
"Since the start of the 20th century, there have been only three big changes in federal gun laws," he said, including measures passed under presidents Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson and most recently, the 1994 ban on certain semiautomatic rifles known as assault weapons. "This is an area where stuff just doesn't happen, at least in this direction."
Roll Call
The Senate now begins weighing a variety of measures aimed at stemming gun violence. The main bill includes provisions to improve school security and strengthen penalties for people buying guns for others who aren't authorized to purchase them. It also includes an expansion of background checks that will be amended with a bipartisan deal reached Wednesday.
Sen. Pat Toomey (R., Pa.), who crafted the deal with Sen. Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.), said Thursday some Republicans had welcomed the deal more warmly than others. "The more people learn about what this bill actually does, how it does it, how reasonable it is, the fact that it doesn't undermine any law-abiding citizen's Second Amendment rights—I think support will grow," Mr. Toomey said.
The Toomey-Manchin measure would require all people buying firearms online and at gun shows to undergo a background check through a licensed dealer, who must keep a paper record of the sale. The lawmakers agreed to exempt gun sales or transfers between family members, friends and neighbors. Currently, only people who buy from federally licensed dealers are required to undergo background checks.
The National Rifle Association called the deal a "misguided 'compromise' proposal" in a letter to lawmakers Wednesday evening, saying that expanding background checks to include gun shows and other venues won't reduce violence. The gun lobby said it would consider lawmakers' vote on the issue in its influential rankings.
Securing a bipartisan agreement on background checks considerably boosts the chances that the Senate will back an expansion of the checks, one of President Barack Obama's priorities in toughening gun laws. But GOP opposition to that and other proposed measures is expected to remain intense.
Several Republicans who supported Thursday's procedural vote to bring the bill to the floor indicated their support doesn't stretch to passing the legislation itself.
Meanwhile, Republican Sens. Mike Lee of Utah, Ted Cruz of Texas and Rand Paul of Kentucky, who had tried to scuttle the bill, may use procedural tactics to prolong debate on some amendments they find objectionable, Mr. Lee's spokesman said. However, they opted to let the Senate move on to the bill without a protracted debate.
"In the coming days we're going to have an extensive debate on different approaches—whether we should be targeting violent criminals, which is what I think is the right thing to do, or whether instead the approach should be to restrict the rights of law-abiding citizens," Mr. Cruz said.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) has pledged that the Senate would hold votes on controversial gun measures that were excluded from the main bill, including a ban on certain semiautomatic rifles known as assault weapons and a limit to high-capacity magazines.
Republicans are also planning to introduce measures to strengthen the prosecution of felons and other people who illegally attempt to purchase guns, Mr. Cruz said.
The arrival of the bipartisan deal on expanding background checks this week appeared to revive fading support for the concept. Several Democrats up for re-election in 2014 in Republican-leaning states said they were open to considering it.
"I just want to make sure that it's a real action—but without infringing on the ability of individuals to pass down guns or to exchange guns within families or friends," Sen. Mary Landrieu (D., La.) said Thursday.
Democrats are optimistic that the bipartisan deal will pass. The two Democrats who voted against moving ahead with the gun bill Thursday said this week they would carefully review the background-checks agreement.
"I'll look at the compromise," said Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas, noting that he had discussed the deal while riding an elevator with Mr. Manchin earlier Thursday. Sen. Mark Begich of Alaska has said he needs to look at the measure's language before deciding whether to support it. Both are up for re-election next year.
Before the Senate vote Thursday, relatives of those killed in the Newtown shooting held a news conference in the Capitol urging the Senate to take up the legislation.
"We came here today to ask the Senate to vote," said Erica Lafferty, daughter of Dawn Hochsprung, the principal of Sandy Hook Elementary School, who died in the attack. Ms. Lafferty held hands with Jillian Soto, sister of Victoria Soto, a teacher killed in the shooting. "We are standing here because her sister and my mom can't be here," Ms. Lafferty said.
President Barack Obama called the families of the Newtown victims after the vote, thanking them for helping nudge lawmakers to move forward with gun legislation, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said.

Okay, so this is entirely new to me. Sparrow
is was an email client for Mac OS X and iOS (and Windows), which brought a decent Gmail experience to these platforms - as opposed to Apple's own not-so-good Gmail support and Google's Gmail iOS application which, well, is just a webpage. Google has now acquired Sparrow, and basically all hell has broken loose, to the point of Rian van der Merwe writing that 'we' lost "faith in a philosophy that we thought was a sustainable way to ensure a healthy future for independent software development, where most innovation happens".

Who don't you stop whining like a spoiled child?
You got what you paid for.
If I were Sparrow's developper, I'd consider pushing and triggering a death switch in my app just to give you idiots a real reason to whine.
Wow, get bent.
I was not complaining like a spoiled child. I, in fact, got more then I paid for. 5 bucks is nothing (could be a lot to you, I guess...). The app was great, worth more then 5 silly dollars. If you bothered to take 2 seconds to consider what I was saying, it was the optics of the whole thing.

CRESTVIEW � Palm Chapel Primitive Baptist Church is different from many other places of worship around here.
CRESTVIEW � Palm Chapel Primitive Baptist Church is different from many other places of worship around here.
"There are two things that define the Primitive Baptist from any other faith in the world," pastor Silas Ford said.
First, people of many faiths evangelize to the spiritually lost, but the Primitive Church's members believe God's chosen people will experience their own form of spiritual birth through God.
"It is merely by God's act that his children are chosen," Ford said. "We don't believe that the church necessarily needs to go out and get to them. Salvation is totally in God's hands."
The second difference is that Primitive Baptists do not have Sunday school services or feature live church music.
"We sing a capella," Ford said. "The congregation picks out the songs ... we sing for 30 minutes and then the preacher preaches."
Ford, the church's head pastor since September, invites interested residents to attend services starting at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 22.
"If people want to learn more about us, I will go through our 15 articles of faith and after that ... we will go through why we worship and how we worship," he said.
Next month, residents can view, as a group, a streamed debate on creationism versus evolution. The church will present the discussion, featuring creationist advocate Ken Ham and Bill Nye "The Science Guy," at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 4.
The topic is important to Ford.
"... If we can't believe in the first chapter of the Bible, then everything else (in it) is up to interpretation," he said.
WHAT: Palm Chapel Primitive Baptist Church
WHEN: Sunday worship service begins at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday night services, beginning Jan. 22, start at 6:30 p.m.
WHERE: 201 Cadle Drive, Crestview

In other words,the school is too cheap(or broke,which is almost as bad) to pay for an apartment for you.This is quite outrageous,even in this business.Personally, I would turn down the "offer" on this one alone.Believe me,after teaching long hours at a hakwon,you will want to RELAX.If you live at the school, students, the owner,etc will probably always be pestering you.I would tell them that if they want you,to get you SEPARATE housing.

The bottom seven floors of my building are all commercial businesses and whatnot (school, doctors, clothing, food, bars, PC room, etc.) If I worked at the English school there, I wouldn't complain. A two minute walk home. That said, the concern is over the length of hours committed to the school. 9:30 - 6:30. A nine hour shift in which you're only teaching for half. If it's teach for 40, do nothing for 40, teach for 40, do nothing for 40, then the day will drag on and on. If they would block your shift together (say two classes in the morning, then 5 in the afternoon), it's a split shift but at least you get 4 hours free between them (for example). Split shift is a lot less of an issue when the commute is two minutes. Bonus, you can sit at home as you live in the same building. Personally, I'd just contact the teachers and see why they are leaving. Unless they scream bloody murder, I wouldn't worry overly much. "Family emergency" is just as likely to mean "first job ever, where's my mommy? I can't live without my mommy!" or "what? Prep work? And I don't get paid for prep work? My contract says I get paid to teach, and now you're saying I don't get paid to do prep work?" as it is to mean the school is evil. Check to make sure the school isn't evil and ask them to shuffle the teaching schedule into two blocks so you don't have 6 fourty minute breaks. School in the same officetel? Double plus good.

No teacher can teach 7 classes a day, day in and day out 5 days a week AND do a good job. It's not possible. You are preparing for 7 classes a day. It might be split schedules or you might have classes scattered throughout the day. It'll be a long day and you will burn out. The school hopes teachers burn out and leave early. They save money. Hokwons/language schools are not schools; they are a business. Did you come to korea to slave away for someone, have headaches, stress, etc.? Hell, you can do that back home! Why come to another country and have the same thing? Get the best deal you can for yourself and don't worry about what other teachers have or don't have. Living in the same building has its good and bad points. It all depends on the school owner. Just remember, no one can use you unless you let them. Officetels? You'll have to pay a monthly fee for maintenance. It could cost you 150.000 Won each month or as low as 100.000 a month. Bathrooms are smaller than the airplane bathrooms. Usually no hot water in the summer, they turn it off to save money.Last edited by hellofaniceguy on Sun Jul 20, 2003 9:07 pm; edited 1 time in total Back to top OiGirlJoined: 23 Jan 2003Location: Hoke-y-gun Posted: Sun Jul 20, 2003 9:00 pm Post subject: Gord wrote: Quote: Housing in the same building!

Please explain how what I said was wrong. Just because I'm in the minority and not jumping on the "OH MY GOD, IT'S EVIL! IT BURNS!" without bothing to back it up with reasoning? I'm sorry I didn't get on your bandwagon, but your entire argument was "living in an officetel means the school is cheap" which is incorrect, as officetels cost more per month than renting an apartment (and it's closer too) along with a unsubstantiated claim of "no privacy", coupled with the idea that the two teachers leaving are perfect in every way thus it must be the school's fault they are leaving. Your statements requires me to put on blinders to believe. Instead, I just put up logical thinking. If your points can't even handle logical reasoning, then you might want to change sides. My answer was the correct answer. I'm not saying the school will be perfect, but rather to at least check it out first before tossing away on the mistaken standard that benefits no one.

M1 Carbine
Sorry, My real question here is can not pulling the trigger back completly be the problem or is it a problem with the trigger assembly parts? Since we have just gotten started in shooting and I am new to the Firing Line, is there another forum that I should ask this question?
My son has an M1 Carbine that was his grandpa's Serial # 1217200 Winchester Repeating Arms Co.
1,000,000 - 1,349,999 (Sept. 1942 - Feb. 1944).
We both really enjoy shooting and working on his M1 Carbine.
Recently when my son and I were shooting the trigger would not fire. I disassembled the trigger assembly, cleaned same and it appeared to fire okay. When we went out to test, the same thing happened and I took it apart again and noticed that Sear needs to go back when the trigger is pulled back to the rear and again it appeared to be working correctly.
Tried again and I told my son to insure the trigger was completely pulled to the rear and when releasing the trigger you can then feel the Sear advance to the rear allowing the trigger to push up on the Sear and release the Hammer.
Doing that the rifle fires every shot in the magazine without getting the Sear stuck forward.
Is his M1 firing normally or are the parts worn, etc.?

Here is why: I thought to myself, what kind of information security measures and procedures would a small flower shop take to protect my information? Where are they storing my credit card info? How long do they store it for? Yes there is PIPEDA here in Ontario, but what if they are out of the country or in another province. How do I know they follow the guidelines? I don't see anything on the website. These are questions I would probably never get the answers to – but I need to order flowers right?
A flower shop's specialty is flowers, not IT right? The McAfee and GeoTrust badges they show on their website aren't any comfort to me either. Reason being is it doesn't speak to the human equation when it comes to information security. An employee can easily copy my number down over the phone or an employee could unwittingly download a piece of malware and their computer could become a mecca for credit card info to whomever controls that piece of malware.
Another situation I wasn't too comfortable with was when I realized a popular bike rental service here in Toronto was storing my credit card info – I was allowed to log in to their website and edit my information. I can't leave it blank, but luckily I could fill in random numbers.
In the case where you can't fill in random numbers and are forced to enter a valid credit card, I recommend getting one of those pay per use credit cards and charge it up with $5. This way, if the online retailer were to be compromised, your credit can't be affected because the hackers would have the wrong info and a credit card that's not really tied to your name.
Small and medium businesses are low hanging fruit for anyone in a criminal enterprise. The majority of small and medium businesses don't have to worry about state sponsored attacks because they have nothing to gain from them, unless its a small boutique shop offering designs in nuclear reactors. Small and medium businesses would have access to credit card and bank account information, which is what would attract many criminal enterprises.
Apple Battery Hack Could Lead To Ransomware0
I just read about the 'Apple Battery Hack' where by specially crafted code could brick an Apple laptop battery.
Luckily the author who discovered the hack provided Apple with the information so they can fix it. Hopefully soon.
Imagine if hackers created a virus that took advantage of the bug and infected your laptop, threatened you to pay a ransom or else they render your laptop inoperable? You are probably saying to yourself, 'Apple doesn't get viruses', which is completely false. Just look at what happened with 'Mac Defender'. Websites were created in order to trick people to download and install the software, because the software looked legitimate. Lo and behold it was a virus. Hats off to those of you who can't be tricked, but there were many who were duped.
As of July 28, 2011 an Apple laptop batteries costs $129 USD. How many times are you willing to replace the battery before you give in to the hackers demands?
I'm not saying it's the end of the world either and freak out. Nothing can be done until Apple releases a fix. Until then, you need to stay vigilant and be aware of what you install on your computer. Someone else would have to discover how the vulnerability works and then create a conceivable way of delivering it and infecting a user with it. By then, Apple will have likely released a fix for it. It's up to you apply the fix.
The moral of the story is, keep your operating system software up to date. Be it MAC or Windows. As the article pointed out other laptops weren't tested, and they could conceivably be affected by the same type of issue.
Anonymous Asked: How Much Information Do You Share On LinkedIn0
A securityphile reader recently submitted a question regarding LinkedIn and I thought I would share it with the rest of the readers:
"I'd created a Linkedin profile a year ago, but now I feel that the information on that site is just *too* much. Do you agree? I'm in the process of deleting every detail that I wrote about myself on that site… and just wanted to know your thoughts on the uses/potential for misuses of that site."
Our anonymous reader agreed to let me post the question and response so that other readers can benefit from she learned.
My recommendation is to limit the amount of information you place on LinkedIn. By default, LinkedIn makes your profile available to search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo. You can turn this feature off.
I would only enter the name of your employer and your position, nothing more into LinkedIn. No details about accomplishments, projects etc (you could be breaking confidentiality clauses you might not be aware of either you or your employer are liable for).
The more information you provide, the easier it is someone can build a profile of you. Since it's the Internet, you have no control who can view your information. It's easy to create a fake profile on any social networking site, people can use that fake profile to monitor you.
If someone is legitimately interested in contacting you regarding your experience, they can contact you further (make that known on LinkedIn).
Potential misuses could lead to identity theft, fraud or plain theft.
Depending on your employer and your position, you could be targeted by hackers (who may be employed by hostile governments etc.) who try to make you install software on your computer at work. If someone can see who you use to work with in the past, they could potentially pose as that person therefore gaining your trust.
It's all about risk and the likelihood that that situation happens. If you are an administrative assistant to a high level executive in the auto industry or Canadian government, you could be a target. Those industries contain secrets and intellectual property that other countries may find very valuable. If you were the financial controller of a small business, you might be targeted because you have online access to your business's bank accounts. If you are a receptionist at a high school, its unlikely a hostile government would try to hack you, but maybe one of the students might target you.
Threats to personal safety
If you have run away from an abusive husband and he has hired a private investigator to find you, one of the places he might look is LinkedIn. LinkedIn gives away information about location and name of employer. Your information may be unnecessarily exposed.
If someone was trying to steal your identity, they could call up one of your previous employers and pretend to be a new employer doing a background reference check. Depending on the person that is asked, they may unknowingly give up personal information about you. While you might not share such information, you can't vouch for what another would do in the situation.

Guest Post on With Love… "Are You Sharing Too Much Online"0
My guest post about "Sharing Too Much Online" is up on With Love… I was honoured that Marta asked me to write this piece for her readers. I thought it was a great opportunity to cross over into the world of fashion blogs and hopefully share my knowledge about online safety with the fashion community. I was glad to see from the comments, quite a few people enjoyed the article and found the information valuable.
If you are interested in having me write a guest post for your blog, please don't hesitate to let me know.
WordPress.com Hacked0
WordPress.com was hacked, it was announced yesterday. They are still conducting an investigation as to the extent of the hack and what data may have been compromised.
They recommend some preliminary measures to take like changing passwords, don't re-use passwords on different sites and use a password manager.
All of which are good, necessary measures to protect yourself.
This is what I recommend you should do to protect yourself:
1. Change your username and/or email address in addition to changing your password
2. Generate new API keys for Webmaster Tools if you use them.
3. Check your settings to see if there is data you don't recognize (like links to malicious ads)
4. Be aware of suspicious emails or SMS sent to you in the next few months, especially those asking you to reset passwords. Your phone numbers and e-mail addresses may have been exposed, .
5. If you use the hosted version of WordPress and you use the Jetpack feature you should reset your password as it requires you to create an account on WordPress.com
WordPress.com has calmed a lot of customers down by being transparent about the initial incident in their blog post. Hopefully they continue their communication after they've conducted their investigation.
Take note that having on a blog on WordPress.com is different than having your WordPress blog hosted on Go Daddy, Dream Host, Media Temple etc. etc. Read more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org.
I would check back on the WordPress.com blog and look for any updates.
The comment section also provides good insight as to the customer sentiment and additional details provided by WordPress.
5 Things to remember before bringing your computer in for repair1
It's happened to many of us: Our computer no longer functions and it's beyond our ability to fix it. But we won't know what needs to be fixed until a computer repair technician takes a look at it.
Before you bring your computer into a repair shop, you need to be aware of the risks to your data stored on your computer:
When you are granting someone access to repair your computer, you are granting them full access to the information that's stored on it. That means access to passwords, email, pictures, financial records and whatever else you save on your computer that you consider to be private and confidential.
This isn't a theoretical case of a 'what if situation'. This happens more often than we realize. A lawsuit was filed against Geek Squad claiming employees comb through personal files and sometimes COPY lewd or other content over to their own personal hard drives. Then there is the case of a Hong Kong movie star who brought in his computer for repair, only to have pictures of him and other Hong Kong actresses leaked to the Internet.
In order for any of this to be effective, you need to be doing items 2 to 5 before a problem with your computer arises.
Here are 5 things you can do to protect your privacy or at least be aware of before you send in your computer to repair:
1. Does a privacy policy exist at the computer repair store?
- What is the policy if your confidential information is exposed as a result of brining the computer
- Will the store take all the necessary steps to make sure your privacy is maintained
2. Remove all of your private information off your computer before bringing it in for repair.
- This includes financial statements, receipts, browser settings, cached passwords, email, pictures, etc.
3. Store your private information on an external drive instead of the main hard drive.
4. Back up your data frequently.
- Always remember to frequently back up your data. If you have to bring your computer in for repair and you haven't backed up your information, it might be too late.
5. Use encryption software to protect your personal information.
- Encryption software exists that allows you to encrypt portions of your hard drive to prevent unauthorized access to your personal information.
If you can't trust the computer repair shop, then I recommend this as a final alternative:
Remove your hard drive before bringing it in for repair.
If your problem is not software related you should remove your hard drive. Computer repair shops should have spare hard drives in stock to test with. If your computer won't turn on, it's likely the problem isn't related to the hard drive anyways.
Are You Sharing Too Much Online? A Quick Guide To Online Safety0
About a month ago, I was contacted by Marta who runs the fabulous fashion blog 'With Love', and she asked me to do a blog post for her about online safety and women. I thought it was a great topic and readily agreed. I have my own blog called 'Securityphile' where I talk about everything and anything related to online privacy, safety and identity.
When it comes to online safety, the most important thing to remember is protecting your personal information. Without any information available about you online, your safety is pretty much guaranteed right? Unfortunately that isn't a reasonable solution. It's a rather extreme and narrow view of trying to stay safe, especially in 2011. What needs to happen is there needs to be balance. Today, a lot of our daily activities revolve around the Internet, and it has become the norm. Friends, family, co-workers are all sharing photos, shopping for clothes, listening to music, paying bills, handing in school assignments, talking to friends, etc. etc. – all on the Internet. In order to do any of that, we are required to give up information about ourselves in order to use the services. Typically an email address and a password are required so you can identify yourself. If you are shopping, credit card information and an address are also required so that you can pay for and receive your purchases. That is it. Any other information requested is usually optional.
However, things start to get complicated when you start using sites like Facebook, Twitter , Foursquare, Youtube, or any other social networking related sites. In order to get any reasonable use out of them, you need to participate, but instead of paying for a product or service, you engage and socially interact with others. You end up providing content (which is really just personal information about yourself), and it usually comes in the form of text, images, video or location, all of it delivered to a combination of friends, family, co-workers, acquaintances or strangers. Your friends and family may get to know you better, but so do strangers and acquaintances. Is that something you are comfortable with? If you aren't comfortable, one way you can control this is by enabling the privacy settings, this way, you know who and who isn't seeing what you post. In Facebook, the settings are quite granular, but for Twitter, its an all or nothing privacy setting. The feature 'block this person' is helpful too! Whatever you use, I highly recommend using privacy settings to control who can see your personal information.
The deal is, the more information you give up, the more people get to know you. This can be a good and bad thing. While it can be good for family and friends, it's usually a bad idea when it comes to strangers and acquaintances. Then again, I bet there are certain friends or family members that you wouldn't want to share everything with either am I correct? Strangers will know what you look like, but you don't know what they look like. You don't know what their intentions are and you have no way of judging their character. You dont know if they've been previously convicted of a crime or are mentally unstable. I would say for the most part, people are generally nice, which is why we tend to let our guard down and trust people. But it also makes it quite difficult to pick out the scary people. It's tough to judge people sometimes, and people change too. The trick is to find a balance where you can share enough information that lets you participate effectively, yet you don't end up giving up too much that people can figure out what your daily routine is.
I came up with a list of things to avoid when engaging in an online public discussion:
- Your age
- Your birth year
- Marital status
- Where you work/go to school
- People you live with or if you live alone
- Expensive items like cameras or computer equipment, jewelry
- Your location, past, present and future (including vacations)
- Your home address and the area you live in
- Your main method of transportation (car or public transit)
- Names of Family members and their relation to you
While the individual pieces of information above may mean nothing on their own, when you combine them with other pieces of information taken from Twitter, Facebook or Foursquare, it can give anyone a deeper insight about yourself, knowledge that you normally might not divulge. When sharing information online, I recommend being vague when it comes to personal information. If you want to share personal info with people, use a non-public channel like email or instant messaging. This way, you control who you are sharing it with.
Its not just your physical safety that you have to worry about. You need to protect your identity online as well. If someone gains access to your personal accounts like email, Facebook or online banking account, they may blackmail you, steal financial information from you or from your place of work. They may choose to take over your accounts and impersonate you. I've seen it happen to many friends on Twitter and Facebook. Have you?
How to Protect Yourself
Test yourself by checking your Gmail or Facebook to see if your account has been accessed by someone else. I have seen friends on Twitter talk about how they discover their Facebook accounts are being accessed – from a different state or province. Checking Gmail and Facebook can tell you if your safety/identity has already been compromised. If it has change your password immediately! If you have your own domain name, make sure you have chosen the privacy option for your WHOIS record. Doing a WHOIS look up will tell you if you are unnecessarily exposing your home address, when you should be keeping it private.
More Important steps you should take to protect yourself online:
- Always use a different password for different accounts
- Change all of your passwords. Every 4 months
- Back up your data, documents, pictures, music on your computer and smart phone
- When using public, free wifi connections, use it only to browse for public information. Dont use it to check email, access Facebook, online banking,
- Same goes for public computers that are shared, you dont know what previous users have done to the computer
- Answers to secret questions shouldn't be information you can figure out from Facebook or Twitter. This was how Sarah Palin's email got hacked. (Its not a good idea to use the secret question 'what is your mothers maiden name' when she is a friend on Facebook.)
- Google yourself and create alerts whenever your name appears online
- Keep your operating system updated, even if its MAC OS X
- Use anti virus
I also spoke to some female friends to get their perspectives about online security and to understand how they protect themselves. All of them have a presence online, typically its a combination of a blog, Facebook, Twitter, Youtube etc. etc., all of which they incorporate into their regular, daily lives. I was quite surprised to hear they haven't had any major issues with being harassed, stalked or had their identities stolen. When I delved further into the issue, it turns out everyone already practiced some form of safety routine. I was quite impressed by their knowledge and the various methods they used to protect their privacy. They use updated anti virus, update their operating systems on a regular basis, change their passwords or keep them in a safe location. Almost everyone I spoke to have set up separate email addresses, one for strangers and acquaintances and the other is for family and friends. Most importantly, they censor themselves and are careful about the content they post online. I am proud of my friends!
At the end of the day, it's really up to you to decide what to share and what not to share and to whom. Its the type of information and the amount that you share online that affects your safety. Always think about what you are about to say online, you might forget what you said 2 years ago, but the Internet won't. Always keep in mind that the information you post online can be interpreted differently by different people. Being online can make you closer to friends and family and when used properly, it can keep strangers and acquaintances at an arms length.
Don't Announce On The Internet Where The Recipe to Your Secret Sauce Can Be Found0
I recently saw a post on Twitter where someone extolled their love for the password manager software they use. They also mentioned the information that was stored in it, the type of information that is the secret sauce to a person's identity: user names, passwords and banking information.
While I think the use of password management software isn't entirely a bad idea (as long as you have other defenses in place), I do believe it's a bad idea announcing WHAT YOU USE to store the recipe for your secret sauce, particularly when it's on a social networking website, for everyone to see. That's akin to announcing to the whole world the name and model number of the safe I use at home, what's stored inside and where it is. But I'm still using a safe, so I'm secure right? No!
Posting critical information like that to a social networking website will make you a likelier target for hackers. It will be easy for them to build a profile of people based on their blog, Twitter and Facebook accounts, then plan a social engineering attack. The attack may come in the form of gaining your trust, then sending you a malicious file for you to execute. A general search of 1Password or Keepass on Twitter, will show you lots of users who are using the software.
While the secret sauce maybe encrypted, if a computer is infected with a trojan horse that has key logging features, the encryption no longer protects you and it becomes a moot point. If you don't keep your operating system up to date, use anti-virus and a firewall that just makes you even more susceptible to your secret sauce being revealed.
The other question to ask yourself is, where do you store this information? Is that encrypted file on a laptop or desktop? What if the laptop is lost or stolen? Hopefully there is a back up. And a back up of that back up.
Rule of thumb: The more information you reveal about your computer's defenses, the more vulnerable you become.
What concerns me, is how easily this lack of knowledge is spread via Twitter, and it will give people who aren't as technically savvy, the wrong idea. I can guarante a lot of people will try out the password manager but forget to do everything else, like update their browser, anti-virus, operating system and install a firewall. If that's the case, they will have all their eggs in one basket, and be ripe for the picking.
How To: Find Out If Your Facebook Account Is Accessed By Someone Other Than You0
I'm not really big a fan of Facebook. The public display of their eroding privacy policies have left me with a bad taste that only enforces my general mistrust of corporations.
Since many people either don't feel that way or are just completely unaware of what is happening with Facebook, I still feel the need to discuss security or privacy issues that affect it.
Within Facebook, there is a new option for you to enable 'Account Security'. I recommend that you enable it immediately if you use Facebook. The feature allows you to be notified when your account is accessed from a computer that has not been registered. While its not a bulletproof measure, its a step in the right direction.
You will need to log in and log out of Facebook after you enable the feature so that you can register your device, be it smart phone, laptop, etc. When you access 'Account Security' you will see a list of registered computers.
It's likely this feature came about after a Facebook board member fell victim to a phishing attempt.
Take note that, if your email account uses the same password as your Facebook account, then the hacker accessing your account can delete the email out of your inbox before it gets to you. Another good reason to use different passwords.

Although the U.S. has made significant strides in emergency response since 9/11, experts told a congressional panel Thursday that the country is still lacking appropriate ways to mitigate disasters.
The hearing of a House Homeland Security subcommittee came on the heels of two emergency situations this week: heavy flooding in Colorado and a mass shooting at the Navy Yard in Washington. Witnesses mentioned both events as they stressed the critical need to help communities prepare for emergencies.
"If ever there was a year where we could see the variety of emergencies that can occur, it's this one," said Kathy Spangler, vice president of Save the Children, an advocacy group.
The experts all spoke about the importance of strengthening connections between local, regional and federal preparation and response systems.
Mark Ghilarducci, the director of the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services who testified on behalf of the National Governors Association, said money was only part of the equation.
"It will cost the taxpayers more and more by just throwing responses towards disasters . . . when we could actually reduce the amount that it may cost by . . . making our communities more resilient," he said.
Other witnesses agreed.
"We oftentimes suffer from a lack of defined processes," said James Schwartz, the fire chief of Arlington, Va., who represented the International Association of Fire Chiefs.
Schwartz said although there has been a push in recent years to focus on local emergency management and build outward, this area needs further strengthening. He recommended increasing the input from fire and emergency responders at the local level. He also said that regional assessment and cooperation among neighboring states would improve efficiency. Localities would then know how they are getting their resources and would be able to respond to hazards specific to them.
The witnesses also said that starting preparedness with the nation's youth is essential.
According to Save the Children's 2013 disaster report card, 28 states and the District of Colombia fail to meet one or more of the four basic standards essential for preparedness in schools and childcare facilities; the standards are recommended by the presidentially appointed National Commission on Children and Disasters.
"When it comes to protecting our nation's children from disaster, America is not prepared," said Spangler.
Spangler spoke in support of legislation being introduced by Reps. Donald Payne, D-N.J., and Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., that addresses state-level gaps in protecting children in schools. Jeffrey W. Walker, representing the International Association of Emergency Managers, also called the Payne and Thompson bill "a priority."
Ghilarducci echoed the need to educate children on preparedness, especially, he said, concerning cyber security.
"Cyber security really is the weakest link that is going to be exploited," he said.
Spangler said the best approach is to focus on growing a generation of prepared adults.
Tim Manning, a top official at the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said that this September – National Preparedness Month – "is all about the children."

The chef at Someone Cares Soup Kitchen is accustomed to preparing meals for hundreds of people using donated meat, vegetables and fruit.
But on a recent afternoon in Costa Mesa, the chefs of Internet cooking sensation "Epic Meal Time" were raising a skeptical eyebrow.
Among the "epic" meals added to the lunch menu: Fast Food Lasagna (whose main ingredient is 45 McDonald's cheeseburgers), the Angry French Canadian (an adaptation of the Quebec dish poutine, on this day made with French fries, bacon and cheddar cheese and topped with brown gravy and maple syrup), and TurBaconEpic, a super-size version of the Thanksgiving-themed stunt classic, in which a quail is stuffed inside a Cornish game hen, inside a chicken, inside a duck, inside a turkey — then slow-roasted inside a pig.

How To Make Perfect Bacon in the Oven
I think we can agree that crispy, smoky bacon is one of life's greatest pleasures. However, standing over a hot stove dodging sputtering bacon grease is not. Here is how we can have the best of both worlds: a hands-free, hassle-free method for cooking perfect bacon, all in the oven.
Perfect Bacon in the Oven:
Watch the Video
The Oven Is Best for a Big Batch
I was a skeptic of oven-baked bacon at first. Give up cooking the long strips in my beloved cast iron skillet? Really? There's just something that feels so nostalgic and right about cooking bacon that way — tenderly flipping and monitoring the progress of every slice, although yes, while nursing the occasional oil-spatter burn. For a few quick slices, I still think a skillet is the way to go; but when cooking a pound or more of bacon for a big Saturday brunch or for a week of easy meal add-ins, I am a total oven-baked-bacon convert.
I find that a pound of medium-thick bacon fits on a single baking sheet. To cook even more (or if your bacon doesn't all fit on one sheet), you can cook two baking sheets at once.
No Flipping Required
It's just so easy — there's no flipping or monitoring involved. You just lay the bacon on a baking sheet, stick it in the oven, and set a timer. The strips of bacon bubble away in the oven (no splattering!) and gradually become the crispy, golden-hued, irresistible bacon we know and love.
For Crispier Bacon, Use a Rack
Bacon cooked in the oven definitely gets crispy, but I also find that it retains a bit of chewiness near the middle, especially when cooking thick-cut bacon. I love this, but if you love your bacon crispy through and through, then you might try baking it on top of a metal cooling rack set over the baking sheet. Lifting the bacon up lets it cook from all sides and get even crispier.
Do you cook your bacon this way? Have any other tips to add?
How To Make Perfect Bacon in the Oven
Serves 4 to 6
What You Need
1 to 2 pounds
sliced bacon
- Equipment
Aluminum foil
Rimmed baking sheet(s)
Paper towels
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Arrange a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat to 400°F. If you're cooking 2 sheets of bacon, position a second rack in the top third of the oven.
Arrange the bacon on a baking sheet. Line 1 to 2 rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil (this makes cleanup easier). Lay the bacon on the baking sheet(s) in a single layer. The bacon can be close together, but don't let it overlap or the bacon will stick during cooking.
Bake the bacon. Bake until the bacon is deep golden-brown and crispy, 15 to 20 minutes. Exact baking time will depend on the thickness of the bacon and how crispy you like it. Begin checking around 12 minutes to monitor how quickly the bacon is cooking. The bacon fat will sputter and bubble as the bacon cooks, but shouldn't splatter the way it does on the stove top. Pour off the bacon grease as needed so the bacon isn't totally submerged in grease.
Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels. Remove the bacon from the oven and use tongs to transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain and finish crisping. Serve immediately.
Clean up. If you want to save the bacon grease, let it cool slightly, then pour it into a container and refrigerate. If you don't want to save the grease, let it solidify on the baking sheet, then crumple the foil around it and discard.
Recipe Notes
Even crispier bacon: For even crispier bacon, fit a metal rack over the foil-lined baking sheet and lay the raw bacon on the rack. Elevating the bacon allows it to cook from all sides and become extra-crispy.
Storage: Refrigerate leftover bacon for 1 week or freeze it for up to 3 months; warm the bacon in the microwave before serving.

ROCKLAND (AP) — A Maine lobsterman and his son are making their first court appearance on charges they were in possession of more than 400 illegal lobsters.
Forty-eight-year-old Ricky Curtis of Union and his son, 29-year-old Todd Curtis of South Thomaston, are being arraigned Monday in Knox County District Court on charges of illegal possession of V-notched and mutilated lobsters.
Maine Marine Patrol officials said the illegal lobsters were discovered during an inspection of the father's boat in December.
By law, egg-bearing lobsters that are caught must be returned to the ocean and have their tails notched, marking them as breeders that become off limits.
Officials said the men face potential fines of up to $190,000.

Keith Urban cut his hair
But …just the back, right? From the front it's pretty much exactly the same. It just looks like he wanted to lose the party in the back. Inspiration:
Anne Hathaway
Or…Tegan & Sara!
For some reason this reminds of the time Tom Cruise dyed his hair blonde for Interview With The Vampire. Remember this?
The story goes that Tom was unsure about the colour…until Nicole Kidman showed up and threw herself all over him, loving it. Oh, Gossip Nostalgia.
Anyway, I wonder if she's seen this yet on Keith, and whether or not it was the same reaction. Imagine if she hadn't and he posted it on Twitter first? Did you ever read the transcripts from when Anthony Pellicano allegedly wiretapped all those celebrities? They released a phone call that happened between Nicole and Tom. I practically memorised the text. It's interesting to read it back now too considering that Tom's answering accusations from tabloids that he's an absent father who "abandoned" Suri Cruise. That seems to be what Nicole is complaining about in the call – that he was never around, never present when he was actually around, and always tired when they had time together. As for Nicole, at least the way she was then, it's some insight into what she expects from her relationships – the small things. Click here if you've never come across it before. This is a classic.

We are a factory manufacturing foam and polythene products.
Foam products: these products include foam (sponge) sheets, and mattresses, and manufacturing beds.
Polythene products: these products include polythene sheets, and nylon / plastic bags.
we are looking at improving the company and there is no better way than to change your identity, a new, contemporary design that would set you away from the competition.
Our existing logo was made back in 1994, a very simple logo that was made by me and my father back then. Now we are looking at something much more attractive and up to date.
we are targeting our existing market, which includes:
For foam: furniture shops and individuals.
For Polythene: construction companies, and building material shops.
Logo layout:
a professional font with "CAPITAL TRADING & INDUSTRY" and below that two picture logos one for the foam and the other for the polythene, the first can be titled with CAPITAL FOAM, and the latter with CAPITAL POLY.
This is required because the factory caters to two very different markets therefore the CAPITAL FOAM and CAPITAL POLY logos must accompany the main logo "CAPITAL TRADING & INDUSTRY"
Logo Characteristics:
- Professional and contemporary font
- Pictures/drawings must be simple
An idea that might be helpful to all designers, for example: have the CAPITAL TRADING & INDUSTRY logo on top with a professional gray font. Below that have the two logo pictures for FOAM and POLY.. These pictures can be made from circles; one with an "F" inside it and below it CAPITAL FOAM.. And the other circle with a "P" inside it and below it CAPITAL POLY.. the circles can be the same design but different colors in order to distinguish between them, say blue for foam and green for poly.
and guys, thats just my opinion, but you can do whatever you wish and new ideas are more than welcome.. enjoy!!

The controversial practice of using genetic engineering to grow drugs or industrial chemicals in food crops is picking up speed.
The controversial practice of using genetic engineering to grow drugs or industrial chemicals in food crops is picking up speed, according to a new report from the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). While a 2002 scandal involving an errant biopharm crop from Prodigene temporarily put the brakes on the practice, the Department of Agriculture (USDA) has received 16 new applications for biopharming permits in the past 12 months. About two-thirds of those applications involved a food crop such as corn, rice or barley, but virtually every other salient detail about the application—-sometimes even the name of the drug or chemical being produced—-is shielded from public view.
"It is impossible to know whether these biopharmed crops present any food-safety or environmental risk, since the whole process is shrouded in secrecy. Even the Food and Drug Administration is out of the loop," said Gregory Jaffe, director of CSPI's biotechnology project and the author of the report. "What is clear is that the biopharming industry has been given a big green light by federal regulators, even though there is great concern among food producers and consumers about using food crops to produce drugs."
According to the report, six permit applications involved genetically engineered (GE) corn, two involved GE barley, and one permit application each involved GE rice, safflower, and Indian mustard. Five permits involved tobacco, a non-food crop. Although the public portions of the permit applications do not disclose the proposed acreage of the crop, they do list states. Four permit applications identified Kentucky as the location; three identified Texas; Missouri, South Carolina, California, and Iowa were each identified on two applications; Hawaii, Florida, Washington, Nebraska, and Arizona were each identified on one.
Prodigene, which in 2002 was fined by USDA for allowing experimental GE corn to contaminate soybeans headed for the food supply, submitted four of the most recent applications—to produce pharmaceuticals in corn in Nebraska and Texas. Judging from USDA's past record, CSPI anticipates that most of the outstanding permit applications will be approved.
Nothing in the public portions of the applications details whether the permit would be for a field trial or for full-scale commercial production. Nor do the applications fully disclose which organism's genes are being spliced into the crop or what substance the company hopes to produce. Some firms' web sites do at least hint at the proposed crop: Prodigene is advertising two products, grown from transgenic corn, with pharmaceutical applications, trypsin and aprotinin. Another company, Ventria Bioscience, wants to grow rice that contain human genes in order to commercially produce the proteins lactoferrin and lysozyme.
Major manufacturers of processed foods, many of whom embrace applications of agricultural biotechnology that improve crop yields or breed resistance to insects, oppose using important food crops like corn to grow drugs. In 2002 the National Food Processors Association said that it "finds there is an unacceptable risk to the integrity of the food supply associated with use of food and feed crops as 'factories' for the production of pharmaceutical or industrial chemicals." Similarly, the Grocery Manufacturers of America strongly recommends that non-food crops be used for biopharming.
"When non-food crops like tobacco can be used for biopharming, it is unnecessarily risky to use crops like corn or rice without a much stronger and more transparent regulatory system," said Jaffe. "It would be a public relations catastrophe for both the biotechnology industry and the food industry if even minuscule amounts of vaccines or other drugs ended up in cereal."
CSPI's report recommends that food crops should not be used for biopharming unless protection could be assured through a strong regulatory system. CSPI also recommends that USDA conduct environmental risk analyses before permits are issued, and that FDA conduct food-safety risk analyses if a food crop is to be used to produce substances commercially. And, says CSPI, the entire permit process should be open and transparent.
While CSPI advocates for strict regulatory oversight of genetically engineered crops, it believes that agricultural biotechnology holds great promise for human health and the environment.

So, the new HTC phones are facing delays in the US, and they now ship with a slightly modified US-specific Android build which removes data tapping and sports an altered app associations screen to avoid Apple's patents. This is step one. Step two is companies avoiding the litigious and anti-consumer messes that are the US and German markets altogether. Clearly, IP laws are working to the benefit of the consumer and the market as a whole. Great work guys.

Reinhold Ebertin
Daily Forecast for December 16th 2018
Reinhold Ebertin is a male celebrity.
He was born on Saturday February 16th 1901, in Gorlitz, Germany,.
December 16th 2018 is a day of transformation and growth for Reinhold Ebertin, and he even manages to pass it forward by reaching out to others and using his good communication skills.
Reinhold feels an important change, but is not yet clear about its true nature. This causes Ebertin to lack of patience, but he must not try to over analyze himself.
Today is also a good day for romance for Reinhold Ebertin.
While studying the color and flavor of the day, it is a good practice to keep in mind the greater meaning of December and the master plan of 2018 in Reinhold's life.
You and Reinhold
About Reinhold's Numerological Forecast & Personal Day Cycle
Just as Reinhold Ebertin evolves through a nine-year cycle and experiences the nine-month cycle, he is also subjected to nine-day cycles, even though their impact is subtle compared to the Personal Year and even Personal Month cycles. The Personal Day cycles proceed according to the same pattern - 1 through 9 - that the Personal Year and Personal Month cycles do. The numbers within the daily cycles have a similar impact on Reinhold to the yearly and monthly cycles - though less pronounced.

Nobody ever fooled themselves into thinking that regular brownies are low in fat and calories. Come on. They're brownies. But even sensible people like us have, at some point, ignored just how high in fat and calories those brownies are. Add peanut butter to the equation? The numbers soar! But instead of snubbing peanut butter brownies altogether, we've got a different solution. And that solution is the recipe to the left.

Just ignore all writes into immutable objects (that is, in the become code, do not insert a forwarding block), otherwise proceed as usual.

KmyLars needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 142 designs submitted by 48 freelance designers.
This logo should be appropriate for both consumer audiences and business audiences, and be tree-related of course.
Tate's Tree Co. or Tate's Tree Company
Growing quality trees for over 50 years (optional)
Desired Color Scheme:
Desired Style:
Nothing too trendy or abstract, the logo needs to stand the test of time.
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
- Logo should be appropriate for both tree nursery business and christmas tree business.Â
- The Christmas tree business is the most important area of the business, so we would like something that signifies an evergreen tree. The target audience is both families who pick out Christmas trees, and wholesalers who ship the trees across the country.Â
- The nursery business is primarily oak, birch, poplar, and some evergreens, and the target audience is local landscapers and families with new homes that need landscaping. We'd like to incorporate a nursery tree into the logo also, but we realize a young tree may also look like a dead tree. :) Maybe a robust tree instead?  Whatever you think looks best, we're definitely open to suggestion!
- Because the logo will be used in communications to both consumer audiences and business audiences, its graphics and fonts should look neither too "industrial" nor too "personal". We realize this may be a challenge!
- Our business is well known for being experts in trees, especially evergreens. And that we have very high-quality trees. Our company goes back three generations.Â
- This logo will be used on everything - signage, print ads, the sides of vehicles, the website, to shirts and jackets, etc.Â

Development of Energy Service Companies Market and Policies
Развитие рынка и политики энергосервисных компаний
Évolution du marché et des politiques concernant les sociétés de services énergétiques
This publication is prepared in the framework of the Financing Energy Efficiency (EE) and Renewable Energy (RE) Investments for Climate Change Mitigation (FEEI) project and outlines the development of energy service companies (ESCO) market in the countries participating in the FEEI project. The experience proved that setting up ESCOs is one of the best ways to address the issue of EE and RE financing. ESCOs have both technical expertise and financial capabilities to invest in EE measures and RE projects. ESCOs can serve as an integrator of EE projects and for bundling the procurement of goods across several projects into one request for external financing.
This report examines the current status of ESCO development in twelve countries participating in the FEEI project. For the purposes of the report all participating countries are divided into three groups: member states of the European Union (Bulgaria, Croatia, and Romania), countries of South-Eastern Europe (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia), and countries of Eastern Europe and Central Asia (Belarus, Kazakhstan, Republic of Moldova, Russian Federation, and Ukraine). The proposed grouping helps examine the current situation with ESCOs in the countries based on their geographical situation and neighborhood as well as the membership in and/or relationship with the EU.

Everton captain Phil Neville has revealed he has no plans of retiring in the near future, and could sign up for a lower league outfit in order to continue playing.
The 36-year-old, who is the brother of Manchester United great Gary Neville, will see his contract at Goodison Park expire at the end of the season.
David Moyes rates the midfielder highly and had claimed earlier that he plans on offering him an extension. However, no such development has been made as yet, casting doubts over the Englishman's Premier League future.
And should the Toffees refuse to hand him a new deal, Neville has admitted that he is willing to drop down to a lower league team.
Although the level of facilities and the limelight of the Premier League will not be there, Neville claimed he would feel no shame on being a part of such a club, and said that he might even take up a management role in the future.
He told the Liverpool Echo: "For me, I want to continue playing as long as possible, so I'm not embarrassed to go down the leagues.
"I think you can still have as much fun playing in the lower leagues as you can in the Premier League.
"I think it'd be good for your experience to coach and manage down there, to go through the types of things that Edgar Davids is going through at the moment (at Barnet) because he's been used to the best things in life and now he's got to really coach.
"He won't have 20 balls, he'll probably have five or six, he won't have many cones, they'll be training on a park pitch where there's maybe dogs running across the training pitch and this is where he'll have to learn his trade again."
Neville, a former England international, is currently part of Stuart Pearce's England Under-21 coaching set-up and is a qualified UEFA coach.
