Improve geocoding and marketing
SAS® Data Management delivers banner results to Miami Herald Media Company's database marketing division
The Miami Herald Media Company had been using a data quality solution that lacked the ability to consistently produce the highest level of data coding. Replacing the existing data quality solution with SAS technology eliminated the company's data quality issues and introduced a new level of geocoding accuracy and address verification capabilities.
SAS gave us the flexibility, connectivity and accuracy to improve our data quality and meet the needs of our clients.
Alfred Hampton
The challenge
The Miami Herald Media Company's direct mail operation sends out over half a million pieces of mail each week.
Operating with a business model that was completely dependent upon accurate and reliable data, the organization knew the need for accurate and reliable data and had been using a data quality solution for years. Unfortunately, this data quality solution did not consistently produce the highest level of data coding.
With this knowledge, the Miami Herald Media Company (MHMC) sought to replace its existing data quality solution with a better, more accurate and more cost-effective solution. To achieve this, the company turned to SAS Data Management.
The solution
The company selected the industry-leading SAS Data Management platform to replace the incumbent data quality solution. SAS products offer a cutting-edge data quality and data integration platform built on best practices and real-world implementations, helping organizations understand and improve the quality of enterprise data.
SAS provides full-featured address verification for more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. Beyond essential address verification, SAS offers value-added content with regional address, phone number and demographic data enhancements, as well as rooftop-level geocoding.
The results
SAS gave MHMC the flexibility it needed to process data from multiple sources, de-duplicate, cleanse and improve its data records in order to transform the data into trusted information that was usable for the company and marketable to its clients.
The company was able to enhance its geocoding by consistently delivering the highest level of accuracy, rooftop-level geocoding.
MHMC also eliminated another issue it had encountered: oversized cluster groups from the matching process. SAS technology not only improved the accuracy of its data, but also improved the reporting of anomalous, or unmatchable, data. This change allowed the company to improve its overall data quality.
"SAS gave us the flexibility, connectivity and accuracy to improve our data quality and meet the needs of our clients," says Alfred Hampton, Database/Systems Administrator with MHMC.
Ensure the highest standard of accuracy, reliability of data behind more than 500,000 pieces of direct mail sent each week.
SAS Data Management not only improved the accuracy of the media company's data, but also improved the reporting of anomalous, or unmatchable, data. This change allowed the company to improve its overall data quality.

The email comes a day after Berger climbed on stage with McCrory during the groundbreaking ceremony for the Cape Fear Community College Humanities and Fine Arts Center.
Calls for New Hanover County Commissioner Brian Berger to resign are ringing loud and clear after his latest threats to county staff and fellow commissioners and an incident with Gov. Pat McCrory.
In an email sent to Berger Friday morning, Chairman Woody White asked the embattled commissioner to seek help.
"I implore you to gather with your friends and family, and seek treatment," White said. "I will help with that, if asked, for free. But I also ask – implore – that you resign immediately. It is time. It was time for you to do so long ago, but these recent episodes have reached a critical mass."
Click here to see a timeline.
The email comes a day after Berger climbed on stage with McCrory during the groundbreaking ceremony for the Cape Fear Community College Humanities and Fine Arts Center.
"Read this," Berger said, according to county officials who attended the event, before thrusting a nearly 10-page manifesto into the governor's hand.
McCrory stood on stage with a confused look on his face – his speech in one hand and Berger's manifesto in the other.
The manifesto, which Berger also distributed a few weeks ago in Washington, D.C., threatens some county staff members and falsely accuses both current and former officials of illegal activity. The rambling document spells out Berger's constant drum beat of accusations of corruption and discrimination.
But this time officials are taking notice of Berger's dire predictions.
"I am keenly aware that in the absence of intervention it is possible, if not likely, that its only a matter of time before someone gets seriously wounded or murdered," reads a section of Berger's manifesto.
This escalation has forced action from White.
"Our inquiry of the document he distributed has become about ensuring the safety of the staff members. The writings and ramblings in that document are so absurd that we are not concerned with what it says, but it appears that he has some significant mental health issues," White said in a telephone interview . "The consensus of the board is that it's crossed the line from simply being a nuisance to a growing safety concern for some county staff."
Berger proved to be a concern for the governor's security team Thursday.
After McCrory's speech, Berger was standing by the governor's convoy and banging on the windows of the vehicles, according to a member of the security team. The vehicles were empty, but he was yelling and demanding a meeting with McCrory. The security team escorted Berger out and the convoy was given an alternate safe route out of town to avoid any other altercations, officials said.
The New Hanover County Government Center is also ramping up security, White said, though he could not be specific about what had been done.
Any safety measures implemented at the county level have to be handled by the commissioners. County staff has no authority in this matter, and officials said their hands are tied until the board takes up the issue.
"Your recent actions are disturbing, and have given us all grave concern about the escalation in your mental health issues. Your rambling, incoherent comments and actions over the last 20 days – culminating in the security risk you posed to the Governor of North Carolina yesterday – have given us all reason to stay away from you," White wrote in the email. "Your actions have been erratic, delusional, and manic. The emails, text messages, and constant harassment of staff are unacceptable. They (and I) feel unsafe when you are present, and no one wants to meet with you, because of the risk you pose. The heightened progression of your mental delusions result in us all feeling unsafe. And they result in distracting us from the real business we need to do for the citizens."
In early March, county officials really started to notice the escalation in Berger's odd behavior. He made more than 2,000 copies of the manifesto, traveled to Washington and passed them out at the National Association of Commissioners legislative conference. Berger was not attending the conference in an official capacity.
In addition to the statements against county officials, the document also lists Berger's "serious concerns" about the county, which are nearly all related to his prior arrests and the restraining order against him by an ex-girlfriend.
Berger originally denied passing out the document in a telephone interview Wednesday, but eventually stated that the document and the subsequent copies were his materials.
"I was lobbying for important things for the citizens of New Hanover County," he said. "It's not personal."
But for county officials mentioned in the document it feels personal.
Former commissioner Jason Thompson, who is mentioned, said he is "sick and tired" of Berger's unfounded accusations.
He added that he is looking into taking legal action against Berger.
"I don't have to put up with this crap. I can financially go after him and I will," Thompson said. "I will tell you that other people are scared to go after him because they are afraid he will retaliate. People are scared of him because he shows all the signs of someone who might come in there with a firearm."
Berger's accusatory remarks toward staff also extends to handwritten notes left on Berger's recently submitted expense reports.
"Continued harassment. Please Stop. Remember the Golden Rule!" reads one note. "No receipt. Discrimination is offensive. Please stop!" another read.
Since January, Berger has submitted multiple expense reports asking for more than $4,000 in reimbursements.
Receipts for steak dinners, a $2,600 hotel bill and the cost of making the thousands of copies of his manifesto are all among the latest expenses Berger is asking taxpayers to refund.
A policy Berger voted for last year, however, will keep him from being reimbursed.
The travel policy was unanimously adopted in June 2012. It bans any commissioner from travel at the county's expense and from attended any local events that have a cost associated with them until forfeited funds are repaid. Berger is unable to travel in an official capacity because he owes the county $287.16 for previous unused hotel rooms and conference fees.
Despite the policy, Berger said he is sure he will be paid back in full, particularly for his $3,000 trip to Washington to attend the National Association of Commissioners legislative conference in early March.
"I am a county commissioner. This was an event for commissioners. It is so clearly discriminatory for me not to be included," he said. "I'm just asking for a smidgen of what the other county commissioners get."
County officials said Berger will only be reimbursed for an expense of $54.55 that he spent on office supplies. All other requests are exempt because of the travel policy.
In a series of lengthy text messages sent at 4:43 a.m. Thursday morning to the StarNews, Berger asked the paper to take a close look at the information provided in the manifesto and in the expense reports and made a promise – one his fellow board members are hoping he will keep.
"Declaring guilt and destroying lives because a reporter can't do simple math or knock on the door of a neighbour [sic], but prefer harming others (thousands of lives wrecked and families torn apart needlessly) almost makes me cry. Almost! The heartlessness and hate that apparently is a good thing in the Internet Age ... Please look at only a few documents and tell 'the people' the God's honest truth," he wrote. "If I am wrong I'll resign."

SIM card encryption hack found in millions of mobile phones
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Cell Phones, Mods / Hacks
A SIM card vulnerability has been uncovered in the encryption used in millions of phones that could allow hackers to send spoof texts. These texts would execute nefarious software that enables them the ability to listen in on calls, as well as read and send text messages, all within a couple of minutes. It could even copy your SIM card.
Cryptographer Karten Nohl and his security team has estimated that 750 million phones in circulation today are using an old 56-Bit DES encryption standard used in SIM cards that can be exploited. Nohl will present his findings at the annual BlackHat security conference held in Los Vegas. It is estimated that 25% of 1000 SIM cards tested in North America and Europe were vulnerable to the exploit.
In addition, it has been reported that Nohl has fully disclosed his findings to the GSM association, and that they have notified carriers and SIM venders of who exactly can be exploited. Nohl suggested that older obsolete systems should be replaced with new triple-based DES encryption.

G6805, Reviewed October 2004
Flowering trees add beauty and seasonal interest to the landscape. Many, including the popular flowering dogwood (Figure 1), have colorful or interesting fruits that may be edible or attractive to birds.
In the landscape, flowering trees are secondary in importance to shade trees that provide framing, shade and background. Nevertheless, flowering trees provide intense interest that few shade trees can match. They must fit into the landscape. Only after deciding where flowering trees can be used most effectively should you try to select the kind or variety to be used. If a certain type of flowering tree is desired, make the necessary changes to fit it into the landscape rather than simply placing it in the first convenient open space.
Use relatively few flowering trees in the landscape. A small residential property usually needs only two or three trees or small clumps. Rows, large groups, large masses and formal designs can be used more readily on large estates or commercial properties.
Figure 1
Flowering dogwood is the Missouri state tree. It is a good choice to plant in light shade.
Species and varieties
To select wisely among the many species and varieties of flowering trees available, consider the following factors:
Give high value to those trees that bear brightly colored or persistent fruits, in addition to showy flowers. A few trees that do not have spectacular flowers compensate by the great beauty or intense interest provided by fruits, pods, autumn leaves or uniquely colored summer foliage.
Whether a tree is considered a flowering tree is often a matter of opinion. All trees produce flowers, but whether we value them for the blossoms depends on how colorful, spectacular or unusual they are. Few large trees are especially noted for their flowers. While their flowers may be noticeable, the trees usually are valued more for other reasons. Some of these are therefore not listed in this publication.
Fruiting characteristics and location should be considered together. Proper location of soft-fruited trees and the season during which fruit falls or attracts birds are worth considering. Brief periods of inconvenience may occur when such trees drop fruit on paved surfaces such as patios, walks, driveways or game courts.
Responses to environment
Whether a flowering or fruiting tree lives up to its potential for health and beauty is largely dependent on its environment; soil, water, light and surrounding buildings and vegetation. Select flowering trees on the basis of their expected behavior under the prevailing growing conditions.
Few trees tolerate wet or very heavy soils, or very sandy or gravelly soils that tend to remain too dry. Nearly all, however, respond favorably to deep and fertile topsoil with good internal drainage. When the soil is inhospitable, improving the soil or adding good soil in raised beds helps ensure that trees will thrive and flower well.
Flowering and fruiting are greatly influenced by duration or intensity of sunlight. Most flowering trees are adapted to full sunlight and perform better away from large buildings or trees that cast dense shade during all or most of the day. Those preferring some shade flower best where there is partial shade all day, especially in the afternoon.
Most trees are variable in form, depending on the exposure. Planted in groups or in small openings, they ascend more rapidly and assume a form more upright than average. Trees planted in open areas will develop a broader crown and will not ascend to the same height as specimens of the same age that are more crowded.
Availability and adaptability
Our range of choices among flowering trees is largely determined by their general adaptability to the area. The climatic range over which a tree will thrive and flower well is usually reflected in the species or varieties offered in local retail nurseries and garden centers.
In the following list of recommended flowering trees, it is as impractical to list all the superior species and varieties as it is impossible for every nursery operator to stock all of them. Every retailer will have some desirable varieties not listed here. On the other hand, not all dealers will have all those listed. When your dealer does not have the plant you want, the dealer can usually obtain it for you if you are patient or may suggest a substitute.
Several trees that have some of the qualifications for flowering trees are not available in the nursery trade, or may have limited uses in the landscape.
A few of the outstanding native trees of Missouri are included in the list. These are not all readily available in the nursery trade at present. One reason for their appearance here is to encourage their preservation and incorporation into the landscape where they occur naturally. Another reason is to encourage using some of our highly desirable, hardy and well-adapted flowering trees in Missouri landscapes.
In the following descriptions, the term hardy refers only to the extent to which trees survive the lowest winter temperatures. Most of the trees listed are hardy statewide. Those limited to more southerly areas of Missouri are appropriately noted.
Heights of trees, in feet, are given for mature specimens that have grown on superior soils and within a favorable climatic range. In general, it takes many years to achieve such growth. In less favorable soils and climates, these heights may never be reached and the trees will grow more slowly.
Where fruits are indicated, an arbitrary size range is assigned. Fruits 3/8 inch or less in diameter are termed small. Between 3/8 inch and 3/4 inch, fruits are considered medium sized; large fruits are those larger than 3/4 inch.
The original species, 30 feet, native to China, and the cultivar 'Bradford,' 40 feet, are fast growing and pyramidal when young, upright to rounded with age. Profuse with fragrant white flowers before foliage. The small russet-colored fruit is marble-sized. Glossy foliage often becomes orange to scarlet to deep crimson in fall.
'Bradford' has dense, handsome foliage on a highly formal tree, and has few pests. 'Bradford' is hardy statewide, tolerant of all but wet or poorest soils, and fire blight resistant. Newer cultivars include 'Aristocrat', 'Redspire' and 'Chanticleer' (also known as 'Cleveland Select'). These are somewhat less prone to storm damage than 'Bradford' because they have better branching habits.
Over the past 15 years it has become apparent that cultivars of Pyrus calleryana produce viable seed when they cross-pollinate. Birds distribute the seeds widely and, as a consequence, this species has become quite invasive in the Midwest.

Flowering crabapple is one of the many flowering trees that beautify our landscapes in spring. The flowering crabapple is tolerant of winter cold and summer heat.
Crabapples are easily the most popular flowering trees in the Midwest. Not only are they splendid in bloom, they are prized for their attractive or persistent fruits that attract birds. There are more than 200 named cultivars and varieties of crabapple.
The intent to use crabapples in the landscape should be accompanied by the willingness to attend their maintenance if their full value as ornamentals is to be realized. Pruning is necessary to maintain their proper growth habit. Mice are a hazard in weedy or brushy areas. Apple scab, cedar apple rust and fire blight are all serious diseases of crabapples and need to be controlled on cultivars or varieties that are susceptible to them. Chewing and scale insects are sometimes a problem. Diseases can be prevented and insects controlled by following the spray schedule described for apple trees in MU publication G6010, Home Fruit Spray Schedules.
The crabapple varieties listed below are chosen primarily for disease resistance. Apple scab is one of the most serious diseases and causes defoliation in midsummer and sometimes again in late summer. There are other flowering crabapple varieties with good scab resistance, so do not consider this a complete listing. Except where noted, these varieties also have good resistance to the other major diseases of crabapples: fire blight, rust and mildew. Where any one of these three diseases may not be serious, the range of varieties selected becomes even broader. Sprays may be used to control all of these problems except perhaps fire blight, but for people wanting to avoid this operation and expense, the following varieties are worth considering.
Irregular but attractive spreading crown. Purplish pink small flowers in clusters before leaves. Foliage yellow in fall, of short duration. Clusters of dark brown pods in fall and winter. Specimens, masses, or naturalizing at edge of woods are best uses. Hardy, tolerant of a wide range of soils. Also is easier to blend into the landscape than the purplish pink color of the common species.
A weeping Higan cherry displays an airy spring bloom.
Among the many flowering cherries, only a few are both spectacular and reliable enough for use throughout Missouri. They serve best as specimens, accents, groups or in borders. Most cherries are slow growing. They respond well to good soil or soil improvement and tend to decline in vigor on poor or heavy soils.
Cherries will not tolerate wet soils. The fruits of most flowering cherries are hardly considered ornamental, but they are very attractive to birds. Attention must be given to pruning, fertilization and borer control.
The flowering dogwood (Figure 1) is unquestionably the most popular of our native flowering trees. It is the official state tree of Missouri.
Rounded to upright, 30 feet, open, horizontal branching. Growth slow to moderate. Spectacular white bracts with flowers, before leaves appear. Glossy, red medium fruits persist in fall. Foliage lustrous, scarlet in fall.
Used as specimens, masses or naturalized under large trees. Prefers deep, moist but well-drained soil. Avoid deep planting and a hot, dry exposure. Improve tight or shallow soils and use a mulch. Needs water during drought. Old or injured specimens subject to borer damage. Not reliably hardy in northernmost parts of the state.
Rounded with horizontal branching, about 20 feet at maturity. Large, pointed, white to pinkish bracts produced three weeks after flowering dogwood. Fruits medium, reddish pink, raspberry-like, attractive to birds. Foliage scarlet in fall. Culture and uses same as flowering dogwood.
Rounded with dense ascending branches. Shrublike but vigorous, eventually 20 feet high. Clusters of small yellow flowers before foliage appears. Foliage lustrous, red in fall. Fruits are medium to large, maroon-red, cherrylike, edible, attractive to birds. White- and yellow-fruited selections have been made.
Best used as specimens, groups and in borders. Prefers excellent to average soils. Hardy and relatively pest free.
Although they produce flowers, the most popular plums are those that have reddish purple foliage. Trees rounded to upright, densely branching. Flowers double or single.
The plum cultivars with bright-colored foliage that have become popular and commonly available include 'Newport' and 'Thundercloud.' They are used more as specimens or accents. 'Atropurpurea' and 'Nigra' (Black Myrobalan plum) have darker foliage colors. Fruits, when present, are edible but are not ornamental.
The plums require regular maintenance pruning, fertilization and occasional spraying to maintain vigor. Sunscald is often destructive to unshaded or unprotected trunks.
The Washington hawthorn produces white flowers in the spring and red-orange berries in the fall and early winter.
There are many species, varieties and cultivars of hawthorn. They are valued for profuse flowers, fruits and picturesque growth habit. Dense and thorny, with white flowers and red fruits; however, exceptions to these characteristics exist. Many native to North America. Grow well on all but wettest and poorest soils.
Success of hawthorn in Missouri is demonstrated by its natural occurrence in practically every county, and its adoption as the Missouri state flower. Best used as specimens. Fruits highly attractive to birds. Subject to borers, cedar-hawthorn rust, fire blight, leaf-eating insects. 'Winter King' is much more resistant to rust than the more comonly planted Washington hawthorn. Annual maintenance beneficial. Somewhat difficult to transplant.
This small, upright growing tree reaches a height of about 25 feet. It produces terminal panicles of white flowers up to a foot long in June. It is a tidy tree with dark green foliage and, unlike its cousin the common lilac, Japanese tree lilac is not susceptible to lilac borer and powdery mildew. The flowers, though impressive in size, do not have a pleasant fragrance.
Multiple trunks or spreading branches with flat to rounded top. Fairly fast growing. Often reaches 30 feet. Foliage is very fine, graceful; the tree open and airy. Flowers are clusters of dainty pink puffs that appear from mid to late summer.
Best used as a specimen or lawn tree. Not recommended for northern Missouri. The more hardy variety "rosea" is preferred in central Missouri. Somewhat subject to ice breakage. Tolerates a wide range of soils, with superior tolerance to poor, dry or gravelly soils. Highly susceptible to mimosa webworm, a leaf-eating insect. Overplanted in many parts of the state.
Red horsechestnut.
This unusual flowering tree is a hybrid between horsechestnut and the small, red flowering buckeye, Aesculus pavia. It is a rounded tree growing to about 35 feet, smaller than its horsechestnut parent. The most commonly planted cultivar, 'Briotii', produces
10-inch-long panicles of pinkish red flowers with yellow throats in May that look dramatic against the large, glossy leaves. Red horsechestnut is susceptible to a leaf blotch fungus and should be planted in full sun with good air circulation to reduce the incidence of this disease.
The Saucer magnolia provides splashes of spectacular color in the spring season.
Natural habit shrubby, rounded to spreading. Multiple stems but may be trained to a single trunk. Grows rather slowly to 25 feet but flowers at an early age. Cup-shaped flowers, white tinged with pink or purple, appear before leaves.
Best used as a specimen or lawn tree or small groups, or seen against a background of evergreens. Throughout their northern range, late spring frost occasionally will injure flowers. For best survival, transplant in spring. Some distinctive cultivars are:
A dense, mounded, large shrub or small tree reaching 20 feet. Large, white starlike flowers appear in early April before leaves. Dark green leaves change in fall to yellow or bronze in full sun.
Best used as a specimen or in small groups. May not be sufficiently hardy in northernmost Missouri. From mid-Missouri northward, avoid southern exposures to prevent early flowering and damage to flowers by late spring frosts. Best results, transplant in spring. Generally pest free.
An evergreen 60-foot tree in the south; shrublike and deciduous near its northern limits. Best adapted to southeast Missouri, accepts mid-Missouri growing conditions. Tolerates wet soils but also thrives on well-drained soils. Very fragrant white flowers in early summer, attractive foliage and gray bark make this an excellent plant. Grown as a specimen or lawn tree. For best results, transplant in spring.
Serviceberry is one of the first trees to bloom each spring.
Upright in youth, oval to spreading with age. Growth rate slow to moderate, depending on site. Ultimate height may exceed 40 feet in best locations. Masses of small white flowers in nodding clusters in early spring, followed by maroon-purple, edible berries that are quickly eaten by birds. Fall foliage yellow, golden or red.
Use as a specimen or lawn tree, in border masses or as naturalistic groups. Prefers well drained sites; woodland or deep prairie soils. Occasionally damaged by an assortment of leaf-eating insects.

Debian deboostrap
Use this guide at your own risk!
- 1 Plan of action
- 2 (Re)Partitioning the drive
- 3 Install a temporary Debian system on /dev/hda3
- 4 Configuring your Debian system
- 5 Boot your Ubuntu OS
- 6 How could this guide be improved
Plan of action
Installing Debian from scratch is a complex and lengthy process. This is our plan of action :
- Partition the drive
- Boot to a temporary debian system on /dev/hda3, so we can
- debootstrap debian, chroot to it, configure it and
- compile a vanilla mainstream kernel
- reboot and see if everything is all right
For this guide, you need to have the newer Uboot version, with the netconsole working, available in Kurobox support in stock 2.6 kernels. The guide also assumes you are using foonas-em.
Also, before proceeding, have your netconsole running, we'll need to enter special boot parameters. (Run "nc -u -p 6666 -v -v 192.168.0.100 6666", replacing 192.168.0.100 for your Kurobox Ip. Make sure your kurobox/desktop are ready to use the netconsole)
(Re)Partitioning the drive
Get on EM mode
Get on EM mode. On foonas-em this is done by pressing the Power button one time after the device powered on, and while the power light is still slowly blinking. If you can't get on EM mode by this way, you can enter 'run fooflboot' on the netconsole.
Partition the disk
We will create 3 partitions : one with about 3GB for the Debian system, another one with 256MB for swap, and another one that takes the rest of the disk.
# fdisk /dev/sda -> o ( enter ) (clean the partition table on the disk) -> n, p, 1, (enter), +3000M; (New Primary partition in position 1, from start to 2048M after it) -> a, 1; (Set partition 1 as bootable) -> n, p, 2, (enter), +256M; (New Primary partition in position 2, from the first free spot to 256M after it) -> t, 2, 82; (set Type of partition 2 as 82 (Linux Swap) -> n, p, 3, (enter), (enter); (New Primary partition 3, taking the rest of the disk) -> w (write the changes to the disk - THIS WILL REFORMAT YOUR HD! BACKUP YOUR DATA! - ) # mkfs.ext3 -j /dev/sda1 (Create a new journaled ext3 filesystem on /dev/sda1) # mkfs.ext3 -j /dev/sda3 (Create a new journaled ext3 filesystem on /dev/sda1) # mkswap /dev/sda2 (Create a swap filesystem on /dev/sda2)
Install a temporary Debian system on /dev/hda3
If you already have a working installation of a 2.6 Linux system, you can skip this part and debootstrap from there directly. See Debootstrap Ubuntu from Gentoo
Now we will prepare to boot a pre-made image on /dev/hda3, so we can use the debootstrap tool later on to create our final system on /dev/hda1. Make sure you grab a kernel version compatible with your box.
Have the Debian image ready for boot
# mount /dev/hda3 /mnt # cd /mnt # wget http://www.nicholassavilerobinson.com/repository/debian-sarge-22.214.171.124-kuroHG-20100722.tgz # tar xvzf debian-image.tgz # cd boot/ # wget http://www.genbako.com/uImage/kernelimage-xxxxxxx-uImage.tgz # tar xvzf linux-kenel_image.tgz # vi etc/fstab (make sure everything is ok - /dev/hda3 should mount on /, hda1 should mount on /mnt) # reboot
At this point, have your netconsole running on your pc, be ready to stop the boot procedure hitting 's'.
Running debootstrap on the Debian Image
These steps are done on the netconsole :
-> Hit 's' before the timeout comes => ext2load ide 0:3 800000 boot/vmlinux.UBoot (load the kernel on the memory) => setenv bootargs root=/dev/hda3 (set that the root file system is on hda3) => bootm 800000 (finally, boot from that memory address)
Hopefully the Debian image will boot. Back on the normal shell, telnet to it :
# telnet 192.168.0.100 (username and password : tmp-kun ) # su (root password : root ) # apt-get update
Get the url of the lastest deboostrap .ded package for debian :
# wget http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debootstrap/debootstrap_1.0.28_all.deb # dpkg -i debootstrap_1.0.28_all.deb # debootstrap --arch powerpc squeeze /mnt http://ftp.br.debian.org/debian/
This will setup a base system on /mnt, and it will take a while. Nice time for a coffee :)
Configuring your Debian system
At this point, we will get the system ready to be booted on.
# cp /etc/fstab /mnt/etc/fstab (just a template that will help us configuring fstab later) # chroot /mnt /bin/bash # mount -t proc proc /proc
Note that we will use the mainstream kernel on this system. This means that we have to use the PATA drivers, instead of IDE. So edit your fstab file, make sure sda1 goes to /, and sda3 goes to /mnt. Ensure we have no "hda1", "hda2" or "hda3", replace for "sda1", "sda2", "sda3".
# vim /etc/fstab
We have to ensure the box will connect to the network. So edit the /etc/network/interfaces file.
# vim /etc/network/interfaces (configure to use with dhcp or static config)
If you use DHPC :
auto eth0 lo iface eth0 inet dhcp iface lo inet loopback
If you use a static setting (replace the ips to fit you) :
auto eth0 lo iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.100 network 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.1 iface lo inet loopback
Ok, let's move on :
# vim /etc/resolv.conf (make sure that is has your nameserver/router) # echo NameOfYourBox > /etc/hostname (this is the coolest part - name your host! ) # vim /etc/hosts (Update your hosts file with your new IP & hostname (if using static IP) 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.100 NameOfYourBox # vim /etc/apt/sources.list ( you can generate one for you on http://debgen.simplylinux.ch/ ) # apt-get update # apt-get install console-data (reconfigure keyboard, if needed) # vim etc/hosts.allow (you should add your network there) ALL : 192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0 ALL : 127.0.0.1 # dpkg-reconfigure tzdata (adjust your timezone) # adduser YourUserName # passwd (change the root password) # apt-get install sudo # vim /etc/sudoers (add the following to the file, and save, so your user can use sudo) YourUserName ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL # apt-get install ssh (you'll need this to login to your Kurobox later)
Building the kernel
# apt-get install git git-core make patch unzip bison flex libncurses5-dev gcc (install the additional packages for compiling kernel) # chown -R YourUserName:users /usr/src (you need permission to write on that folder) # su YourUserName (this part is meant to be run as a normal use) $ cd /usr/src $ wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.37.tar.bz2 (get the most recent from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel) $ tar xjf linux-2.6.37.tar.bz2 $ ln -sf linux-2.6.37 linux $ git clone git://www.jdl.com/software/dtc.git dtc (the dtc tool is used to compile a required special hardware database file) $ cd /usr/src/dtc $ make $ sudo ln -sf /usr/src/dtc/dtc /usr/local/bin/ $ sudo apt-get install uboot-mkimage (that is needed to produce kernel images that the u-boot can boot into) $ cd /usr/src/linux $ cp arch/powerpc/configs/linkstation_defconfig .config $ make menuconfig $ make uImage modules $ exit # cd /usr/src/linux # make modules_install # cp arch/powerpc/boot/uImage /boot/vmlinux.UBoot # cp arch/powerpc/boot/dts/kuroboxHG.dts /boot/ # cd /boot # dtc -f -I dts -O dtb -o kuroboxHG.dtb -V 16 kuroboxHG.dts # reboot
Boot your Ubuntu OS
$ sudo apt-get install avr-evtd $ sudo vim /etc/default/avr_evtd (tweak the configuration to suit your needs)
If you see the following error when running perl:
perl: warning: Setting locale failed. perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings: LANGUAGE = (unset), LC_ALL = (unset), LANG = "en_GB.UTF-8" are supported and installed on your system. perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").
Then run:
# apt-get instal locales # dpkg-reconfigure locales
(be sure to generate the en_US.UTF-8 locale)
Install popularity-contest
Inform the repository that you are using the packages related to the Kurobox, so they don't get forgotten, run :
# sudo apt-get install popularity-contest
How could this guide be improved
- A better foonas-em busybox, comming with ar, that would allow debootstrapping directly without the need to boot the temporary debian image.

Tough guy types like Tom Hardy and Mark Wahlberg spring to mind when thinking up actors who could convincingly play a US Marine, but in new Nicholas Sparks drama The Lucky One credibility is stretched from the off with former High School Musical star Zac Efron leading the cast as a traumatised veteran of three Iraq tours.
Efron's Logan sees friends fall as he dodges death on two occasions while on duty. He puts this good fortune down to a photograph of a young woman he unearths in the sand. When he returns to the US, he sets out to find his mysterious guardian angel and pass on his thanks.
When he does meet Beth (Taylor Schilling), a single mother who works at a dog kennel, a mix-up leads to him landing a handyman job and the pair's initially awkward relationship blossoms into something more. Matters are complicated by the intimidating presence of Beth's ex Keith and his reluctance to come clean about the picture, which belonged to belonged to her Marine brother who died on duty.
Sparks is now established as a Hollywood brand, so director Scott Hicks finds himself restricted by the formula. Logan and Beth resist each other at first, then fall deeply in love before being forced apart.
There's also room for a cardboard cut-out villain (Mad Men's Jay R Ferguson), a cute kid (Riley Thomas Stewart) and a lovable senior citizen with health issues (this role is filled by Blythe Danner).
Fans of Efron will no doubt swoon at his brooding, buffed-up protagonist, but even with a shower sex scene there's still a noticeable lack of fizz between him and newcomer Schilling.
The success of Sparks's The Notebook was in part down to the chemistry between stars Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. Despite all its well-worn clichés, the sweeping romance worked because you were invested in Noah and Allie. The Lucky One's central pair don't quite have the same appeal.
Efron is continuing his tricky transition from teen star to serious actor, ditching the physically exuberant song-and-dance roles in favour of more somber, contained characters. Playing a war veteran in The Lucky One may seem like a move out of his comfort zone, but in a precision-engineered tear duct botherer such as this he's still very much coasting on his heartthrob image. Efron may need to play a character who's ugly on the inside before he can truly be free of Troy Bolton.

Bridgeport firefighter suspended after anti-Obama rant
'I can't keep my mouth shut': Political confrontation leads to suspension
When Robert Kravitz wore an Obama 2012 T-shirt to gas up his Volvo, he was stunned to find out how divisive the national campaign has become.
"I'm sitting there texting my daughter, and this big, burly guy puts his huge head into my car and starts screaming at me, calling me a f---ing socialist," Kravitz said Friday. "I thought at first it must be a joke by some friend of mine. Who does that to a total stranger?"
Allegedly, Paul Neugebauer, a lieutenant in the Bridgeport Fire Department, did.
Neugebauer was charged with breach of peace and will be arraigned on Sept. 25 at state Superior Court in Milford.
Bridgeport Fire Chief Brian Rooney said Friday he placed Neugebauer on administrative leave, pending a hearing. "I did it as soon as I heard about it, but there has to be an investigation," Rooney said.
The alleged incident took place Thursday at the Pilot Truck Stop, just off Interstate 95 in Milford. Kravitz said he felt vulnerable sitting in his low-slung car, so he got out. The car also had a collection of Obama bumper stickers and magnets.
"And that's when he grabbed my arm and shoved me against the car," Kravitz said. "I could have used some help, but you know how people are. A bunch of them were standing around, but nobody did anything."
Neugebauer denies grabbing or shoving Kravitz.
"I just said to him, `You really think this is the guy? He (President Barack Obama) hasn't done anything.' When the cop was here he said to me that if I said that (Kravitz) shoved me, he'd be charged with breach of peace too. But I didn't do that, because it wasn't true."
Kravitz, a Woodbridge resident and a business owner, said while he doesn't work for the campaign, he has contributed to Obama's 2008 and 2012 presidential bids.
U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., helped secure tickets for him and his daughter to Obama's inauguration in 2009, Kravitz said.
Neugebauer has helped run fundraisers for America's 911 Foundation, a group that helps support veterans, first responders and their families, and volunteered at the World Trade Center site after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Neugebauer was also among several firefighters cited by the Bridgeport fire board for heroism in the rescue of two small girls from a burning apartment building in 1997.
But Neugebauer has gotten into trouble before for expressing his political beliefs too stridently. He was charged with intimidation based on bigotry or bias, a hate crime, after a 2002 dispute with a convenience store owner and his son, who were both of Middle Eastern descent.
"I was demoted for that and I had to pay a fine,'' Neugebauer said Friday. "I got put on probation. Now I'm going to lose my job. It's my own fault. I can't keep my mouth shut and my employer is tired of it."

A Sad Statement: The Best Way To Deal With Patent Threats Is To Be Less Open
from the bad-for-innovation dept
10. Advice For All Times: Don't Be An Easy TargetThis isn't a surprise. Of course, we've highlighted how companies often get hit up by patent trolls right after they make news. But what this is really saying is "don't be open." And while that may be a good strategy for a company seeking to avoid patent lawsuits, it's a horrible strategy for increasing innovation. Research into innovation and economic growth have shown time and time again that what helps create that kind of innovation is more openness and more sharing. It's the information sharing that made Silicon Valley into Silicon Valley.
Trolls pick their targets by studying websites, looking at product specs, and trying to make out a case that you need their patent. Don't make it easy for them. Require registration before granting access to whitepapers, detailed documents, or video tutorials that delve into the behind-the-scenes details. Think twice about being on customer lists or advertising the ins and outs of your business, the products you use, etc., unless there's a good business reason for doing so. Often it is the companies that advertise most successfully that are the most frequent targets of troll demands — troll threats should not drive business decisions, but don't be surprised when your successful marketing campaign is followed by an onslaught of troll letters.
What's stunning -- and depressing -- is that the patent system is supposed to be the thing that encourages innovation. And yet, because it's become totally dysfunctional, one of the recommendations for how to avoid running afoul of it now... is to do the exact thing that holds back and limits innovation. What a shame.

Noonan: Pope Francis Looks Outward
His combination of tradition and compassion may be just what the church needs.
In line with tradition Pope Francis this holy week washes the feet of the poor. In a departure from tradition he did it in a juvenile prison in Rome. In line with tradition he will live in the Vatican. In a departure from tradition he will live not in the apostolic palace but in a small suite (Room 201) in the Vatican guest house where cardinals stay in conclave. In line with tradition he quickly reappointed the department heads of the curia. In a departure from tradition he reappointed them temporarily.
He is a man of some...

Follow Loyola University New Orleans on Twitter
Loyola press release - September 14, 2009
Mark your calendars! Loyola's College of Music and Fine Arts offers an exciting lineup of fall events as part of its Montage Fine and Performing Arts Series.
Theatre Arts and Dance
Loyola Theatre kicks off its season in October with Yussef El Guindi's award-winning comedy, "Jihad Jones and the Kalashnikov Babes." Like the hit HBO series "Entourage," the play skewers business as usual in Hollywood and asks how much it costs for one actor to betray his values and sell his soul for fame and fortune.
Ashraf is an Arab-American actor who just received rave reviews for his performance as Hamlet, but his dismal acting income means that he has trouble paying the bills. He needs his big break, a starring role in a Hollywood blockbuster. Will he sell out his values and morals for the siren's call of Hollywood fortune and fame?
"Jihad Jones and the Kalashnikov Babes" will run in Lower Depths Theatre, located in the Communications/Music Complex, Oct. 7, 8, 9, 10, 14, 15, at 8 p.m. and Oct. 11, at 2 p.m.
In November, Loyola Theatre presents a freshly Victorian gothic production of "A Christmas Carol" honoring Dickens' original text adapted by Neil Bartlett. Bartlett's version is the only published version of Dickens' classic to use all original language.
"A Christmas Carol" will run in Marquette Theatre Nov. 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, at 7 p.m., and Nov. 8, at 2 p.m.
On Nov. 20 and 21, the Loyola Ballet, directed by Laura Zambrano, will present an evening of classical, character and contemporary dance works. The program will open with a 19th century ballet, followed by character dances and original works by local choreographers.
The performances take place in Roussel Hall at 8 p.m.
Guest Artists
Several guest artists will visit Loyola this fall.
Mezzo-soprano Clara O'Brien will give a free performance on Thursday, Sept. 24, at 12:30 p.m., in Monroe Hall's Nunemaker Auditorium. She will follow that performance with a free masterclass on Friday, Sept. 25, at 4:30 p.m., in the choral room for the Communications/Music Complex, CM 230.
O'Brien, a current assistant professor for voice at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, has performed with many of the nation's famous music organizations including Chicago Lyric Opera and the Aspen Music Festival. She studied at both the Eastman School of Music and the Dana School of Music, and completed her stage training at the Curtis Institute of Music. O'Brien, a Fulbright Scholar, was also awarded a fellowship to the Münchener Singschul.
Cellist Alexander Russakovsky, an associate professor of cello at the University of Southern Mississippi, will give a solo concert on Oct. 13, at 7:30 p.m., in Roussel Hall. The performance is free and open to the public.
Russakovsky is a founding member of the Jerusalem Academy String Quartet, with which he has performed throughout Israel, Germany, Switzerland, Holland and France. He has made numerous solo appearances with orchestras in Israel, Russia and the United States and has performed with various other string quartets and other chamber music groups.
He studied at the Leningrad Conservatory under renowned Russian professors Emmanuel Fishman and Anatoli Nikitin. Russakovsky received a Bachelor of Music degree from the Jerusalem Rubin Academy and a Master of Music degree from the Yale School of Music. He holds a doctorate in cello performance from the University of California, Santa Barbara, where he studied with Geoffrey Rutkowski and Ron Leonard.
On Oct. 30, the New Orleans Friends of Music will team up with Loyola to present an exciting program by acclaimed international virtuosos Lera Auerbach, piano, and Ani Aznavoorian, cello, at 7:30 p.m., in Roussel Hall. The concert will feature works by Rachmaninoff along with original works and arrangements by Auerbach, including the U.S. premiere of her transcription of Shostakovich's 24 preludes for piano, Op. 34.
Auerbach is a widely performed composer who continues the great tradition of pianist-composers of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Aznavoorian is an acclaimed young cellist who has appeared with many of the world's leading orchestras, including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Tokyo Philharmonic and the Helsinki Philharmonic. She proudly performs on a cello made in Chicago, by her father Peter Aznavoorian.
For tickets, visit the New Orleans Friends of Music website or call 504-895-0690.
Jazz Underground Series
The Jazz Underground Series offers an exciting line-up of performances in Satchmo's Jazz Café, located on the lower level of the Danna Student Center.
The series begins Sept. 24, at 7:30 p.m., with the fifth annual Coltrane Festival, featuring a performance by UNO jazz studies professor and saxophonist Ed Peterson.
The Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz ensemble will perform on Oct. 8, at 7:30 p.m., and jazz percussionist and New England Conservatory of Music instructor Bob Moses will present "Heart Mantra," on Oct. 15, at 7:30 p.m.
On Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m., acclaimed jazz percussionist and Loyola alumnus Stanton Moore, '94, will perform a salute to the legendary New Orleans jazz musician James Black.
Jazz Underground tickets are $10 for general admission and $5 for Loyola faculty and staff. All students are admitted free.
Diboll Art Gallery
The Collins C. Diboll Art Gallery has an intriguing and fun run of exhibits this semester.
Currently showing in the gallery are the exhibits, "Juju," by Sandra Russell Clark, and "Sculpture Studies," by Loyola visual arts professor W. Mark Grote. The exhibit will be on display Sept. 10 – Oct. 23.
Clark's photo exhibit explores the reality and perception of objects people collect, and the underlying story behind them.
"Walking through the wreckage and debris of Katrina, I was struck by all that just seemed to evaporate and disappear but also by what was left behind," says Clark. "This included small items that seem to tell a story about their owners–a group of dolls or old tools, a rocking horse from someone's childhood, stacks of old LP's, odd still lives, tchotchkes and bric-a-brac. All of these small pieces made up part of someone else's life–mementos, talismans, lucky charms, mascots, juju."
Grote's exhibit features drawings that were derived from several of his own sculptures. According to Grote, his intention was to create whimsical two-dimensional illustrations of these sculptures.
Beginning Nov. 5, the gallery will exhibit "Keith Haring: Print Retrospective 1982 – 1990" from the collection of Mr. Stuart H. Smith and Mr. Barry J. Cooper Jr.
The exhibit will be on display through Jan. 29, 2010. There will be an opening reception on Thursday, Nov. 5, at 5 p.m.
Born in Pennsylvania, Keith Haring began as a pop artist. He set out to reach the widest possible audience with his early drawings in subways and quickly gained recognition in the art world with his comic-book-stylized figures. His images often contradict their simple appearance and contain highly politicized messages, like his 1986 wall painting, "Crack is Wack."
In addition to these events, the Montage Fine and Performing Arts Series also will feature several exciting performances by university faculty and student ensembles and guest masterclasses.

No one needed to give the 2009 graduating class from Xavier University of Louisiana and Loyola University New Orleans advice about weathering storms.
The students, who started their freshman year just days before Hurricane Katrina ripped through New Orleans, were scattered across the country as "The Big Easy" remained underwater and struggled to get back on its feet.
When classes finally resumed, many of the college students returned and now live to tell the tale of Katrina survival.
Xavier's senior class aptly took the theme "From Storm to Stage" for their graduating year. At Loyola University's May 9 graduation, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal told graduates to wear the moniker "Katrina class" with pride because it speaks of their determination, endurance and commitment.

January saw us starting to get into the swing of things again. A little snow saw many of the team in the Beacons, as well as further afield with trips to the Peak District, Cheddar Gorge and Pembrokeshire all squeezed in. New Years day allowed few of us to get out (even if the weather wasn't great in South Wales) but a number were in still Snowdonia and elsewhere where it was a little nicer.

Talk:Terastation Data Recovery
From NAS-Central Buffalo - The Linkstation Wiki
Recovering Data from Terastation Raid array
I have tried the PPC Ubuntu method on a G5 and a G4, but I cannot get it to detect the raid array.
I have managed to browse the files on a Windows PC using UFS explorer, but I am not sure that I am putting the drives in the right order, as when I look at it I get 2 XFS partitions and 2 unknown partitions.
If I browse the smaller XFS partition (0.36gb) I can see a standard linux folder structure.
If I browse the larger XFS partition (148.38gb), then I get an "Unable to read the directory" error...
Any ideas?

Cool stuff from Metsblog!
I've got a few bloggy pals out there. First, the Man Who Made Me a Mets Blogger. Then my gal partners in crime, Mets Grrl and Coop, and of course my blog boys Matt and Anthony, of Metsblog.com (and for Anthony also Hot Foot). These folks? All rock. And if you didn't already know that, then where have you been?
Want to know something exciting? Matt and Anthony are unveiling a new format for their Metsblog Talk Radio tonight at 6:30. Their featured guest? Omar. As in Minaya. As in, We love you Omar! So click the link for specifics, and be sure to catch it on the rebound if you miss it "live." Details of how to call in yourself can be found here.
I'll be on the 7 train at 6:30 tonight, myself. Off to Shea. To watch our boys face a tough pitcher, but hopefully keep up the momentum of last night's getting it done.
I'm not sure if my trademark pigtails and pink hat will make it to Queens tonight, but if you see the curly-haired gal with the loud cheering voice in Mezzanine Box, Section 14 (Coop's seats!), drop a holla.

Information by Country
Global Section:
To 2015 and Beyond: Putting Girls' Education at the Heart of the Agenda - Side-event to the 58th Session of the CSW
Panel discussion on the findings of the Education for All Global Monitoring Report 2013/14; implications for the emerging post-2015 landscape
When: 10 March 2014 (1:00-3:00pm EST)
Where: UNICEF House, 3 United Nations Plaza, New York, 10017
Watch it unfold live at http://new.livestream.com/unicef
UNGEI is pleased to host this event with its partners, UNESCO Education for All Global Monitoring Report (EFA GMR), UNICEF, Education International (EI), Global Education First Initiative (GEFI) and Plan International.
CSW 58 focuses on challenges and achievements in the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) for women and girls . Given the prominence of girls education as an indicator of MDG 3 on gender equality and womens empowerment, CSW 58 is a strategic platform to focus on education as a vehicle for addressing gender inequality and achieving development outcomes for girls and women, and societies as a whole. Girls education is also an important theme in global consultations and high level debates on the post 2015 development agenda with reference to education as well as gender equality goals. Key questions have emerged including: Is the current pace of progress in meeting the MDGs and Education for All goals adequate to uphold the right of all girls and boys to a quality education in a rapidly changing world? To what extent is this education and gender equality agenda incomplete? What are the barriers that contribute to persistent gender disparities in education? Where does girls education fit within a transformative gender equality agenda?
To mark International Womens Day and contribute to the CSW 58 dialogue, the EFA GMR team and UNGEI, with Education International, UNICEF and Plan, will launch the Gender Summary of the 11th annual Education for All Global Monitoring Report and host the side event: To 2015 and Beyond: Putting Girls Education at the Heart of the Agenda.
This event will be moderated by Mr. Chernor Bah (member of the Global Education First Initiative, Youth Advocacy Group). Special guests include:
- Senator the Hon Michaelia Cash, Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for Women, Australia (GEFI Champion State)
- Dr. Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, Executive Director, UN Women
- Ms. Irina Bokova, Director-General, UNESCO
- Dr. Pauline Rose, Director, EFA-GMR
- Ms. Susan Hopgood, President, Education International
- Mr. Olaf Thommessen, National Director, Norway, Plan International
Please join us in New York or watch it on livestream (http://new.livestream.com/unicef). Join the conversation by tweeting any question or comments to @UNGEI using #investingirls or #teachlearn.

Craft Activities
All Year Sport, Craft, Leisure & Spa Breaks - Whatever the Weather!
There is absolutely nothing like our Craft Centres in the UK. Offering 18 tutored crafts and with all tuition free of charge, you'll find it's the perfect place for a crafty break, whatever your level of experience.
We believe there is no other hotel offering something like this, certainly on this kind of scale. Our programme is flexible and we ensure that each craft activity runs at least once, generally twice during each stay, so guests can take part in as much or as little crafting as they choose.
It doesn't matter whether you're an expert or a complete novice; we offer tuition from the the very basics up. Plus all of the tuition is covered in the cost of your break, so you only need to pay for the materials you use - which we charge at minimal cost price.
The atmosphere in the Craft Centre is relaxed and friendly, and since opening has been a considerable source of pleasure for guests of all ages, enjoying the diverse range of crafts on offer.
**Please be advised that some crafts, such as enamelling and candle making, require guests to wear fully enclosed shoes (no flip-flops or sandals).**

MLS Wrap: Houston and Sporting into final
Omar Cummings scored an extra-time winner as Houston Dynamo stunned New York Red Bulls 2-1 in the MLS on Wednesday.
Cummings, who struck a late equaliser in the first leg in Houston, netted in the 104th minute as the Dynamo upset the Eastern Conference's top seeds in the play-offs.
Bradley Wright-Phillips had given the Red Bulls the lead, only for his opener to be cancelled out by Brad Davis.
And it was left to Cummings to be the hero for the Dynamo, leading them to a 4-3 aggregate win and seeing them into the Eastern Conference final.
Wright-Phillips put the Red Bulls ahead in New Jersey on 23 minutes, pouncing when Tally Hall spilled a cross.
But their lead only lasted 13 minutes before Davis hit back for Houston to level the game and the tie.
New York looked the more likely to find a winner but it was Houston who did so just a minute before half-time in extra-time.
Cummings flicked an effort towards goal and Luis Robles was too slow to get down to his left and unable to stop it crossing the line.
Awaiting the Dynamo in the conference final are Sporting Kansas City, who needed extra-time to beat the New England Revolution 3-1.
Sporting, who lost the first leg 2-1, levelled the tie on 41 minutes when Aurelien Collin struck from inside the area.
Dimitry Imbongo looked to have scored the winner for New England with 20 minutes remaining as he volleyed in a set-piece.
But Kansas City struck again just nine minutes later through Seth Sinovic, whose stunning left-footed effort found the bottom corner from the side of the area, before Claudio Bieler scored the winner with seven minutes left in extra-time.

With those words, co-founder and artistic director Ron Henderson raised the curtain on the 30th Starz Denver Film Festival — for the very last time.
Oh, the festival isn't going away. The only place it's going is up.
But for Henderson, 30 years seemed as good a finishing point as any. So when the festival wraps up on Nov. 17, he is moving on to other challenges.
He leaves with a nice souvenir: the 2007 John Cassavetes Award. It was presented to him on Thursday before an opening night audience that filled the Ellie Caulkins Opera House.
Henderson's voice was heavy with emotion as he acknowledged a standing ovation. "This is both an awkward and emotional moment for me," he said, choking back tears. "So before I totally embarrass myself, from the bottom of my heart I thank you."
With that, he hurried off stage but was called back to utter his trademark signal for getting the festival started: "Let the movies begin."
The opening night film, "The Savages," starring Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman, was preceded by a VIP reception on the opera house third floor and the traditional red carpet walk for visiting dignitaries.
Neither Linney nor Hoffman attended, but a host of directors and producers, including Norman Jewison and Bob Rafelson, were on hand. Jewison is to receive the Mayor's Career Achievement Award during the festival; Rafelson's credits include "Five Easy Pieces."
Denver's Academy Award winning filmmaker, Donna Dewey, was there, too, with director Monty Miranda and actor Brian Phelan from their collaboration, "Skills Like This."
Film buffs taking in the festivities included Bill Myers, president and CEO of Starz Entertainment Group; Denver Post editor-in-chief Greg Moore and wife Nina Henderson Moore (she chairs the Denver Film Society board); photographer Larry Laszlo; architect Lance Vigil; Matt Keeney from advertising/marketing agency AOR; artist Darrell Anderson; pediatrician Dean Prina; and Three Tomatoes Catering co-owner Joanne Katz with her husband, Ron.
Travel agent Don Greco said he'd be spending Thanksgiving with Katie Hartwell in Mexico; Jessica Ferrufino was introducing Leslie Smith, a representative for artist Peter Max, who'll be having a show in Denver later this month.
Realtor Rollie Jordan and filmmaker Bruce Granger were celebrating their first year of togetherness, having met at the 2006 festival. Granger has been involved with the festival since its start, served 16 years on the board and is now developing an outreach program for it.
Other familiar faces in the crowd: Steve and Wendy Weil; Martin and Gail Berliner; Gretchen Bunn; Nancy and Dr. Les Lockspeiser; Suzanne Arkle Wilson; Les and Paula Shapiro; and Denver Center President Randy Weeks.

Go RVing Garners Exposure on 'Jimmy Kimmel'
September 10, 2013 by RVBusiness Comments Off on Go RVing Garners Exposure on 'Jimmy Kimmel'
Late night comedian Jimmy Kimmel's ensemble created a custom RV tailgating skit that airs on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight (Sept. 10) at 11:30pm EDT on ABC.
Working with the show's writers to create the premises of the skit, Go RVing was afforded an opportunity to present its message to Kimmel's loyal audience in a format that resonates stronger than an ad placement within the show.
The one-minute segment was filmed at the studio last week and features a Newmar Corp. motorhome which was selected in a vehicle lottery.

"Most developers care about application performance. Even if speed isn't the most important attribute of their software, they certainly don't want the application to be slow. But streamlining code may seem too complex, and require skills that you don't have. Relax. While code optimization certainly is the best way to improve your application's performance, you may be overlooking another option: adjusting the settings on the .NET Framework."

So, why "The View From My Chair"? I want to share with you how things look from where I sit. How things impact me and how I see them impacting the body of Christ and our walk as Christians.
I am so awe struck at what God has done and is doing among us, I want a chance to share my thoughts, dreams, challenges, blessings and sometimes my humor.
I want the opportunity to hear from you as well. Maybe you'll get a chance to see things through my eyes and maybe, if you leave a comment or send me a note, I'll get the chance to see them through yours.
Thanks for dropping in!
