Public hearing begins for Winnipeg police officer accused of misconduct by photojournalist
First LERA complaint to go to public hearing since 2017
The question of whether a Winnipeg police officer acted appropriately when he seized the camera of a veteran photojournalist will be decided by a provincial judge during a rare public hearing that began Tuesday.
Chris Procaylo, a photographer for the Winnipeg Sun, filed a complaint with Manitoba's Law Enforcement Review Agency in 2017 following an incident where a police officer took his equipment after he photographed them subduing a man outside of Lord Selkirk Furniture on Main Street.
"I felt disappointed, threatened and intimidated," Procaylo testified Tuesday.
"I felt like I was being prevented from doing my job."
The hearing is the first to happen in response to a complaint made to LERA since one was held in 2017.
"These matters raise the issue of not only how a member of public is treated by a law enforcement officer, but also raises the larger concern of improper interference with freedom of the press," said Nicole Watson, Procaylo's lawyer during her opening statement.
Procaylo alleged the officer committed three acts of disciplinary default, including abuse of authority, during the interaction on Dec. 2, 2017.
During his sworn testimony, he told the court he arrived at the scene after receiving a tip that there was a "ruckus in progress" on Main Street and someone had a weapon.
He said he went to the scene to take photos, wearing a lanyard that identified him as a working photojournalist.
He testified that he believed it was in the public interest for him to photograph what was happening.

When he arrived, he took photos of a man on the ground inside the store being subdued by police. He went to the curb to wait for the man to be carried out after he saw the ambulance arrive.
He told the courtroom as he waited, he heard someone yell behind him, "move, move, move."
He turned around and saw it was a police officer who told him to leave the scene and swore at him. Procaylo said he moved about 50 feet away but stayed on the scene.
The officer later returned and told Procaylo they were seizing the camera as part of their investigation.
It was agreed by the officer's lawyer and Procaylo's lawyer that this was a "warrantless seizure."
Procaylo told the court the incident changed how he felt about police and made him fearful that he wouldn't get "services" by police after he filed the LERA complaint.
He said he felt "bullied" and the incident made it more difficult for him to do his job because of how often he has to interact with police.
Public hearings rare
A public hearing only takes place after the commissioner of LERA reviews the complaint and refers it to a hearing to determine the merits of the complaint.
The agency is the sole public body that investigates public complaints about officer misconduct.
While they receive over 100 complaints a year, a CBC investigation found that most are dismissed by LERA's commissioner or abandoned by the complainant.
The last one was held in 2017, after an officer was alleged to have threatened to harm a city business for their perceived refusal to turn over surveillance footage. He was demoted in 2019 after a judge found he was in disciplinary default.
If the judge finds the officer was in disciplinary default, the penalty can range from admonition to termination.
The hearing is scheduled for five days, with the police officer and his partner both expected to testify this week.

Oh my God
The broken levee
Governor says entire city needs to be evacuated
With conditions in the hurricane-ravaged city of New Orleans rapidly deteriorating, Gov. Kathleen Blanco said Tuesday that everyone still in the city, now huddled in the Superdome and other rescue centers, needs to be evacuated.Jesus.
"The situation is untenable," Blanco said, pausing to choke back tears at a news conference. "It's just heartbreaking."
The breach of two levees Tuesday meant the city was rapidly filling with water and the prospect of having power was a long time off, the governor said. She said the storm also severed a major water main, leaving the city without drinkable water.
"The goal is to bring enough supplies to sustain the people until we can establish a network to get them out," Blanco said.
FEMA is considering putting people on cruise ships, in tent cities, mobile home parks, or so-called floating dormitories, boats FEMA normally uses to house its own employees, said Coordinating Director Bill Lokey.
Lokey said he anticipated FEMA will set up a permanent office in the area.
Recovery will take so long, he said, that some workers could spend their entire career working on Katrina.
"This is the most significant natural disaster to hit the United States," Lokey said.
The devastation was enormous. One of the twin spans of Interstate 10 was broken into dozens of pieces between the pylons, stretched out across rising water like puzzle pieces. Only rooftops were visible in several neighborhoods and the occasional building was on fire. In relatively lucky neighborhoods, residents waded in the empty streets in knee-deep water.
Blanco, Lokey and others spoke to reporters after officials flew to New Orleans with FEMA director Mike Brown and other officials. They stopped at the Superdome, where Mayor Ray Nagin outlined the dire situation: hundreds, if not thousands, of people may still need rescuing from rooftops and attics, he said.
Blanco described the dedication of rescue workers who at midnight were told to take a break.
"They refused. They couldn't do it," Blanco said.
Blanco said rescuers were unable to get to people stranded, but safe, in one tall building because so many other people were "calling to them and jumping from rooftops" into the water to be rescued first.
Things were so bad, Nagin said, that rescue boats are bypassing the dead.
"We're not even dealing with dead bodies," Nagin said. "They're just pushing them on the side."
Maj. Gen. Bennett C. Landreneau, adjutant general for the Louisiana National Guard, said search and rescue teams were still picking up people throughout the city, leaving them on highway overpasses-turned-islands and on the Mississippi River levee to wait until they could be moved again.
This is like a nuclear explosion without the radiation. This makes 9/11 look like an exercise. I mean, 20 blocks away, life went on. But this? They have to evacuate a major American city.
Update: WWL: Mayor reports massive communications failure will flood entire city
by Rob in Baltimore - 8/30/2005 09:48:00 PM
WWL has just reported that the Mayor of New Orleans reported that a massive miscommunication has occurred. The choppers that were rescuing people were supposed to attempt to sandbag one of the levy breaches. Somewhere along the way, it was never communicated, night has fallen, and within 12-14 hours the entire city will flood.
Mayor Nagin: Unhappy that the helicopters slated to drop 3,000-pound bags into the levee never showed up to stop the flow of water. Too many chiefs calling shots he says.Mr. President, there aren't enough military choppers in this country to both SAVE LIVES and try and mitigate DISASTER?
Total failure of leadership, and an entire city is now going to flood.
UPDATE: From the WWL Web site:
****ALL RESIDENTS ON THE EAST BANK OF ORLEANS AND JEFFERSON REMAINING IN THE METRO AREA ARE BEING TOLD TO EVACUATE AS EFFORTS TO SANDBAG THE LEVEE BREAK HAVE ENDED. THE PUMPS IN THAT AREA ARE EXPECTED TO FAIL SOON AND 9 FEET OF WATER IS EXPECTED IN THE ENTIRE EAST BANK. WITHIN THE NEXT 12-15 HOURS****

The investigation of Bush-era US interrogation policies that include torture shouldn’t be controversial. Nor should the investigation of the illegal surveillance of Americans. But apparently it is because someone told Scott Shane that it would impair the ability for President Obama to have a positive domestic agenda.
Torture took place in our names. Pretending that it didn’t will not improve our standing in the world. But investigating it and holding those who ordered it to account might actually make a difference. We know the evidence exists. We have to have the courage, as a government and as a people to face our actions.
Yes, there are major challenges facing us domestically. We need major healthcare reform, labor law reform, education reform, and a coherent energy policy that helps in the fight against global warming. But we are capable of multitasking. We can look forward while correcting the errors of the past. Hell, that’s the whole point of all of these domestic reform initiatives – that things were done poorly or incorrectly in the past, that we have to learn from them, and now do things better. How is the investigation of Bush-era abuses of the rule of law and rules of war any different?
Only people who wish to protect the perpetrators of these illegal actions on torture, surveillance, extraordinary rendition, and data mining will forward the canard that accountability and investigation will stymie the President’s positive domestic agenda. It’s a bogus argument and one that has the potential to make permanent the damage the Bush administration did to America’s standing in the world.

- For groups of 8-20 throwers. $35/person
PRIVATE KNIFE THROWING LESSONS
Improve your throwing today!
- Competitive Blunt Knife Lesson
- Knife and Hawk Combination LessonLesson
Private Lessons to Improve Your Competitive Edge!
Give some edge to your knife or hawk throwing with our private lessons! Our Chief Instructional Officer is a highly ranked Expert Competition Rotational Knife, No-Spin Knife, and Tomahawk competitor. He is also a member of the International Knife Throwers Hall of Fame (IKTHOF).
Types of Lessons
- Competitive Tomahawk Throwing involves throwing three hawks at various distances. The difference between a hawk and your typical axe is generally the weight and length. Hawks are typically lighter and easier to rotate upon throwing. Lessons for hawk throwing involve throwing between 3-5 meters.
- Competitive Knife Throwing has been around for decades. In the United States and Canada, it typically involves throwing three non-sharpened (just pointy) competition knives from both their handles and their blades from distances that range from 3-7 meters. So yes, the knife is rotating (spinning) during the throw. This is called throwing from 1 spin, 1 1/2 spin, 2 spins, etc., rotating between three throws with the handle and then the blunted blade as you move backward to each new distance. Most lessons focus primarily on throwing with the handle from 3 meters only. Our instructors must certify you to move beyond that distance (more spins).
- No-Spin Competition Blunt Knife Throwing (knife is NOT rotating) has gained more mainstream recognition as of late and is also offered. This style is a favorite of the owners’ families and definitely involves more concentration and practice. But when you get your first stick, you will be hooked forever! Same rules and distances apply as with rotational competition blunt knife throwing.
Please note: Ages 12+ (individuals under 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult)
What to Bring
- We require that anyone who throws must wear closed-toed shoes.
- Wear something comfortable.

Steven Caulker makes first Liverpool start as Under 21s beat Leeds in Premier Cup
- Steven Caulker started at centre-back for Liverpool Under 21s on Tuesday
- Loan signing makes first appearance in favoured position
- Centre-back ineligible for FA Cup replay against Exeter on Wednesday
Steven Caulker made his first Liverpool start for the Under 21s in their Premier Cup 1-0 win over Leeds on Tuesday - and it was at centre-back.
The loan signing from QPR has made two substitute appearances for the first-team, but both times Jurgen Klopp deployed the England international as an emergency centre-forward as the Reds chased the game against Arsenal and Manchester United.
Liverpool U 21 boss Michael Beale named a much-changed eleven ahead of the senior team's FA Cup replay against Exeter on Wednesday, with Caulker ineligible as he was not registered for the original tie on January 8.

Caulker played as he is ineligible for the senior side's FA Cup replay against Exeter on Wednesday night
At Prenton Park he completed the 90 minutes alongside Daniel Cleary as Dan Trickett-Smith's first-half winner sent the Liverpool youngsters into the quarter-finals.
The 24-year-old's passing range left something to be desired but he showed his no-nonsense approach when he lashed a clearance over the back of the Johnny King Stand.
But Klopp will be relieved that the former Spurs defender, who had started only twice during his loan spell at Southampton earlier this season, played the full game with no alarms.

The 20-year-old Trickett-Smith fired the winner on the stroke of half-time as Liverpool broke from a Leeds corner.
A challenge from Sam Hart on the edge of his own area allowed Adam Phillips to send Trickett-Smith away, who raced clear to slot home the opening goal.
Beale left U 21 regulars Connor Randall, Brad Smith, Cameron Brannagan, Sheyi Ojo and Jerome Sinclair out of the squad, suggesting they will be involved in the replay at Anfield on Wednesday night.
Trickett-Smith was part of a much changed U 21 side with the likes of Connor Randall and Brad Smith rested

Saul Ostrow is an independent critic, and curator, the Art Editor at Lodge for Bomb Magazine and the former Chair of Visual Arts and Technologies at The Cleveland Institute of Art (2002-2012.) In 1996 he terminated his studio practice, after having exhibited nationally, and internationally for over 20 years. In 2011, he founded Critical Practices Inc. (www.21stprojects.org) to promote critical discourse. Its two core programs are: 21StPROJECTS, which sponsors viewings of artists works, and La Table Ronde (initiated in 2012,) which organizes roundtable discussions on critical and theoretical cultural issues. As a curator he has organized over 70 exhibition in the US and abroad. His critical writings have appeared in art magazines, journals, catalogues, and books in the USA and Europe.
Critical Practices Inc. was founded in 2010 and incorporated in 2012 and became a 501.3c in 2014. CPI was created to develop a dynamic network of cultural producers to support the emergence and development of new practices and ideas within the field of critical cultural production. It is our intent to serve a diverse community of producers by creating a dynamic network to facilitate in the shaping of critical discourse and practice.
To achieve its goals, CPI operates “outside” the norms of the institutional and instrumental perspectives of the marketplace. Our programs are neither in opposition to, nor in compliance with, institutional models, instead, we employ the associations and priorities that define the community of critical producers and common goals- objectives to provide a platform for these diverse points of views. We believe that such forums are necessary to advance and sustain critical, theoretical, and artistic practices
To achieve our goals, we seek to redefine the various codes and logics by which we may operate. Our programs therefore deploy portable formats and intimacy to counter the culture of the spectacle. Our programs seek to promote practices that reframe subjectivity and use free and open exchange to contest the commodification, of social knowledge.
CPI is comprised of three major initiatives:
- PROJECTS hosts 6 informal viewings a year of works by visual artists, curators and researchers. These projects are presented in a domestic setting. . The intentions of this program are to move away from the white cube as normative space for the viewing of art by collapsing the boundaries between private and public space. 21ST.PROJECTS’ HomeEntertainment sponsors a spring season of events — including screenings and musical and theatrical performances, as well as the work of performance artists. These events take place in a domestic space before an invited audience.
- LaTableRonde (LTR) organizes 6 roundtable discussions, which provide 30 invited participants an opportunity to informally exchange their views on a ‘pressing” issues relevant to today’s social and cultural environment. Pointedly, these discussions are not A derivative of LTR is Curricula, which is CPI’s apparatus for building networks, and for facilitating the interaction between professionals by engaging in short and long-term ad-hoc collaborative projects.
- LEF(t) Publications LEF(t) is a broadsheet publication printed in limited quantities and are available free at ever changing distribution points (globally). Each LEF(t) is themed and consists of a visual project and three text projects.
Over the short period of time since our founding in 2010, CPI has conducted 31 LTRs (including one in Budapest, and another MAC/Val), have hosted the viewing of 21 artists, and has produce 7 issues (one for the Poznan Biennial in Polish and another in French for Museum of Contemporary Art/ Val de Marne) of LEF(t) publications presenting the work of 19 writers and 7 visual artists. We have hosted 8 panels, performances and artist events. In the 2014 CPI was invited to participate Whitney Biennial (organizing 3 LTRs and 3 issues of LEF(t). Increasingly, CPI has been sought out to organize discussions for such organizations such as Volta, PhotoVille, Site Projects, New Haven and the Museum of Contemporary Art/ Val de Marne, Rhode Island School of Design. In 2016 CPI_e(urope) was founded in Paris, and Tilt in Denver, Co. with the purpose of organizing LTRs.
Because, we think that it is important that our organization function not only as a content providers and presenter but also an organizer, and facilitator of critical production; we are also at present engaged in designing the program Education Through Art for Gallery Aferro, Newark, NJ and have launched the imprint CPInPrint.


Flannel Bedding Do’s and Don’ts
Flannel is a type of cotton weave that’s fundamentally a warm, cozy type of fabric. Most often, you’ll hear about it when describing warm winter pajamas, but outfitting your bed with flannel sheets is an excellent choice in the winter. Flannel bedding keeps you warm and cozy on the chilliest of nights. However, there are a few do’s and don’ts when it comes to shopping for and outfitting your bed with flannel sheets. We at west elm can help you decide which pieces will work for you.
Building Your Bed
It’s much healthier for you to cozy up to a set of warm flannel sheets to keep the chill away at night than it is to keep your thermostat at a high level. So, as you begin to choose your sheets, keep in mind that comfort is key. Flannel bedding creates warm “pockets” against your skin, and working with a fluffy comforter or quilt can be the perfect choice to keep you warm all winter long. There are two types of flannel to consider as you shop: cotton flannel and micro flannel. It's important to know which type of flannel you’re buying as both are slightly different and require different levels of care.
Micro flannel is a little more economical than cotton flannel. Its base is a polyester, which is not as comfortable to some. However, this construction stands up better to repeated washing and drying. If you wash your sheets often, micro flannel is a better choice, as this fabric pills less and shrinks less than cotton. It’s good to keep in mind that all flannel bedding will shrink to some degree after the first washing, and all flannel will pill slightly over time. However, this doesn’t detract from its warmth. While micro flannel has a longer life, cotton flannel is moisture-wicking, so if you have a tendency to sweat during sleep, cotton flannel is more breathable. Ultimately, there are pros and cons of both types of flannel, but both do a great job of utilizing your body heat to warm your bed.
It’s perfectly okay to mix and match different bedding materials in order to maintain maximum comfort. For example, you may want to use cotton flannel sheets, but crisp, cotton pillowcases to feel some level of coolness against your skin. Those that get excessively warm may want to opt for a flannel sheet set but skip the flannel duvet cover and choose an organic cotton quilt instead. Flannel should make you feel cozy, not sweaty. You may want to downgrade in thickness when it comes to your comforter or coverlet so that you don’t overheat at night.
Fresh Flannel Pairings
There are many color and pattern styles when it comes to flannel sheets, and as your bed is often the decorative focal point of the bedroom, do keep in mind color and style as you go. Plaid designs are an excellent seasonal choice, particularly if you have a holiday or festive theme during the winter months. Flannel does not always have to equal a plaid pattern, however, and there are many other solid colors available as well as delicate patterns. When choosing colors, darker quilts and bedding can make the bedroom seem smaller and more intimate, while whiter and brighter colors can make a small bedroom look a little larger. Match with modern and midcentury style rugs and windows to polish off your bedroom’s look.

If you are a fan of LEGO games, you’ll be highly excited to know that five LEGO games are heading our way. What’s more exciting is that you can play them all in 2015.
The confirmation came from Warner Bros. who are joining forces with TT Games and The LEGO Group to bring you these LEGO experiences.
Not all of them are new to the audience, but are new to certain platforms. For example, LEGO Batman: Beyond Gotham is heading to iOS. The title was originally released last year for a range of different platforms. The iOS version is coming this summer.
Next on the list is LEGO Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin. The game will be based around the story of Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu TV show. Players can use their Spinjitzu abilities, smash through enemies, and solve a range of different puzzles.
The game is heading to PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS on Mar. 24, 2015.
Recently we saw a brief trailer of the next Jurassic Park movie, dubbed Jurassic World. The movie is expected in summer 2015, but who knew we’ll also be getting a LEGO game inspired by the film.
Let me rephrase that, LEGO Jurassic World is based around all four Jurassic Park films which means you’ll be able to relive all films in LEGO style.
LEGO version of Jurassic World will be available in June for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Wii U, 3DS and PS Vita.
If that’s not exciting enough for you then get ready for this. In fall 2015, Warner Bros. will release LEGO Marvel’s Avengers! The game will feature storylines from the Avengers film along with the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron.
The title is announced for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Wii U, 3DS and PS Vita. Last but not the least, the LEGO Movie VideoGame is now available for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.

Elderly couple dies after Pickaway County crash
ASHVILLE – A couple in their 80s whose car was broadsided at a rural central Ohio intersection has died.
Pickaway County Sheriff Robert Radcliff says 87-year-old Arthur Deal and 86-year-old Ada Lou Deal died at a Columbus hospital where they were taken after the Wednesday crash near Ashville, south of Columbus.
Radcliff says the couple didn’t first appear badly injured after the accident. But once at the hospital, their conditions deteriorated.
Ada Deal died Wednesday night, and her husband died Thursday, according to the sheriff. They had been married for more than 60 years.
Radcliff says witnesses saw Ada Deal turn left in front of a van on a yellow light.
Two passengers in the van were hospitalized but expected to survive.

Inhibiting cancer cell migration could greatly improve the prognosis of cancer patients. Prior to commercialization of the Plopper laboratory designed a 96-well plate, we optimized our in vitro migration and cell viability assays to meet the standards set by the National Cancer Institute for use in a large-scale drug screen for anti-migration compounds. Using these assays, we measured the cytotoxicity and migration-inhibiting effect of dimethyl sulfuoxide, a drug solvent, in three cancer and one non-cancer cell lines. Next, we investigated plant-derived compounds called monoterpenes, known chemopreventive/chemotherapeutic agents, for non-cytotoxic, migration-inhibiting properties in MCF-10A normal and MDA-MB 435 cancerous breast cells. Perillyl alcohol at 0.5 mM inhibited normal breast cell migration while it failed to affect cancer cell migration. Finally, we examined the loss of prenylation of RhoA, a small GTPase protein involved in the formation of focal adhesions and stress fibers, and corresponding morphological changes following exposure to perillyl alcohol.

Kansas City Tops Cleveland 6-3 - Recap
Cleveland dropped a 6-3 decision at Kauffman Stadium on Friday as Kansas City legged out a win behind winning pitcher Luis Mendoza.
Kansas City won as a -110 favorite, while Over-Under bettors who played OVER the total of 8.5 were rewarded at the payout window.
Kansas City got 6 innings from Luis Mendoza, who gave up 2 earned runs on 8 hits, while striking out 3. He earned the victory, while the Royals got 2 RBIs from Mike Moustakas in the win.
Cleveland's starting pitcher Justin Masterson worked 6 innings, giving up 7 hits and 4 earned runs while striking out 3 in the loss. They got 2 hits from Asdrubal Cabrera in a losing cause.
Greg Holland pitched the final 1 inning for the save. He struck out 1 and allowed 0 hits in his outing.


A month-long investigation by an independent panel has found no evidence to back up allegations by a resident of a care home for the elderly and chronically sick that staff had mistreated residents. Choi Wan-fung, 56, told a radio programme last month that he had seen employees hit residents of the Hospital Authority-run Cheshire Home in the head and face, and use foul and insulting language. Mr Choi, who is wheelchair-bound, said one employee of the home in Chung Hom Kok had threatened to make him drink his own urine. 'Based on all the evidence and investigation results, the panel found that the allegations by Mr Choi Wan-fung were not substantiated. Staff attitude is generally good and service is rendered with care,' the authority said yesterday after receiving the panel's report. It said the panel had reviewed documents including Mr Choi's records, visited and assessed the home, and interviewed 32 people. The interviewees included Mr Choi, current and former residents, staff, and residents of relatives who came forward after the panel appealed for their assistance. The panel had several recommendations for the home's managers. These include: Providing more wall-mounted heaters in bathrooms; Considering improvements to the hot water supply, which was inadequate; and Improvements to address the perception of a 'conflict of roles and interests' caused by the current arrangement of having a ward manager handle residents' complaints. The home and the authority's regional chief executive accepted the panel's recommendations. Mr Choi left the home last week to live in the community. Fernando Cheung Chiu-hung, lawmaker for the welfare sector, questioned the panel's independence, given the authority had appointed its members. However, Mr Cheung said: 'I agree with the recommendation that a third party be assigned to deal with complaints.' Lawmaker Choy So-yuk, who has been helping Mr Choi, accepted the findings. 'I believed the allegations were serious, and I also visited in person to talk to residents. They told me that everything in the home is OK,' she said. Mr Choi's allegations might have arisen from misunderstandings, Ms Choy said.

It’s a Unique Take on Electronic Music from Wolf
By Laura V
Undoubtedly one of the most unique single drops we’ve had in the past year or so, London-based songwriter and producer Dominic Wolf has dropped his incredible new single Fool. It’s a track that continuously keeps the listener guessing, driving with organic beats, textures, and synth harmonies that create a release that stands alone in the alt-pop genre.
“Production-wise, I’ve never worked on a song for as long as this one,” explains Wolf. “I really took the time to develop it and allow it to reveal itself to me. The song itself reflects how I felt at the time of writing and has kept me going because in the end you just have to keep going.”
Written and composed in his bedroom in east London, everything about Wolf’s career has a DIY, low-budget aesthetic. However, his music has been received with critical praise from some of the top tastemakers in the online space.

Motorcyclist who hit wild turkey on Highway 3 dies from injuries
54-year-old man lost control of motorbike after hitting bird and crashed into tractor trailer
The motorcyclist who hit a wild turkey, then crashed into a transport truck on Highway 3 has died of his injuries.
54-year-old Kevin Gagnier, of Kingsville, hit the turkey on the highway just east of Oldcastle around 7:30 a.m. on April 18. The driver of the transport truck was not injured.
At the time of the collision, local animal experts warned that drivers must be careful around wild turkeys, who have been seen in Windsor-Essex more often this spring.
"Please don't assume they're going to get out of the way because for the most part they may just stay there," said Essex Region Conservation Authority biologist Dan Lebedyk.
This is the third fatal motorcycle collision over the past two months.

Intrusion detection is a technique employed to catch and report attacks as they occur. It is needed given that vulnerabilities in operating systems, network protocols, applications, and configurations leave systems open to attacks.
Intrusion detection systems rely on data sources, which can be drawn from operating system audit logs, “sniffed” network packets, logs from components such as routers or applications. The principal approaches to intrusion detection include misuse detection where the intrusion detection system detects activity that matches attack signatures, and anomaly detection, where the intrusion detection system identifies activity that is inconsistent with what is expected. The expectation can be derived from previously observed activity or can be captured in a specification, giving rise to the concept of specification-based intrusion detection.
Research on intrusion detection started in the early 1980s, has continued through several major DARPA (and other Government) programs and has led to a number of products and numerous deployments. Intrusion detection is particularly appealing as an approach to enhancing the security of existing systems where it is faster to configure an intrusion detection than issue and install a patch when a new vulnerability is identified. Furthermore, anomaly-based is perhaps the only approach to the detection of unknown attacks.
This panel discusses the evaluation of current intrusion detection systems and suggests some indication of possible future directions, addressing such as issues as:
What current IDSs can do and cannot do
Johannes Ulrich, Sans
Modern intrusion detection systems are able to detect attacks early and in some cases can be used to disrupt attacks in progress. False positives are a major concern delaying further implementation of reactive intrusion detection systems. While modern IDSs have become better in recognizing and defeating popular IDS evasion techniques, the fundamental problem of tuning an intrusion detection system to achieve optimum performance still requires a skilled analyst and a thorough understanding of the protected assets. IDSs are not able to autonomously ascertain the impact of a packet stream to the network. However, some attempts to combine IDSs with vulnerability scanners have been made to allow the IDS to become aware of the network.
Something else an IDS is not able to do by itself is to look beyond the traffic stream it monitors. Correlating multiple Sensors and integrating them as part of a layered network defense requires the skilled use of other tools.
Evaluation of Intrusion Detection Systems
Joshua Haines, MIT Lincoln Laboratory
IDS performance evaluation is central to IDS research and development. Several recent efforts at Lincoln Laboratory have evaluated intrusion detection system performance using a variety of techniques. All have pointed out areas where further research is necessary and advanced the field in many ways, however none has provided the IDS developers with the data and tools necessary to create truly “next-generation” intrusion detection algorithms and tools. For example, we provided testbed-generated data that could be authoritatively labeled and has been shared amongst researchers to start many research programs. One study used real-world data with selected attacks inter-mixed so that background data was very realistic, but the lack of labeling limited false alarm measurement. Better datasets are necessary for better calculation of metrics in future evaluations and to further research. Datasets need to consist of many more examples of both attack and background traffic than have previously been available. Datasets need to be gathered collaboratively by a wide variety of researchers and stored centrally so that they represent a wide variety of network and system configurations and can be updated periodically without undue effort by any one entity. Datasets will need to take on new forms such as specifications and tools for created attack and background traffic in ones own environment so that IDS developers (and their systems) can explore use of new and different inputs for their systems. Metrics for IDS performance are a research topic in and of themselves, and will need to be expanded to better calculate and compare the amount by which an IDS improves the security of a given network configuration rather than simply tallying attack and false alarm rates.
Intrusion Report Correlation
Phillip A. Porras, SRI International
Among the most visible areas of active research in the IDS community is the development of technologies to manage and interpret securityrelevant alert streams produced from an everincreasing number of INFOSEC devices. Over recent years, the growing number of security enforcement services, access logs, intrusion detection systems, authentication servers, vulnerability scanners, and various operating system and applications logs have given administrators a potential wealth of information to gain insight into security-relevant activities occurring within their systems. The motivation for INFOSEC alarm correlation is straightforward: as we continue to incorporate and distribute advanced security services into our networks, we need the ability to understand the various forms of hostile and fault-related activity that our security services observe as they help to preserve the operational requirements of our systems. Today, in the absence of significant field-able technology for security-incident correlation, there are several challenges in providing effective security management for mission-critical network environments:
Among the challenges of INFOSEC alert correlation research is to bring to practice analytical techniques to address the problems of alert inundation, support true positive isolation and alert prioritization, identify known sequences of alerts that pertain to a complex attack scenario, and discover meaningful trends or commonalities across alert streams that are not discernable through the isolated inspection of individual INFOSEC alert logs.
New techniques in detection and response
Jeff Rowe, UC Davis
Typically, intrusion detection techniques use signatures of known malicious behavior, or classify statistically anomalous behavior as malicious. The signature technique is limited when faced with new, unknown attacks. Statistical anomaly-based methods can handle new, unknown attacks but falsely classify new non-malicious behavior as attacks as well. New specification based approaches, based upon the correct security behavior of a system, detect previously unseen attack instances without misclassifying non-malicious new behavior. With this approach, Formal methods might even be usefully applied to a real-time IDS, to verify that desirable security properties are enforced.
The worm threat
Stuart Staniford, Silicon Defense
The nature of the worm threat will be discussed (as distinct from viruses), and illustration of various worm-spread strategies with examples from worm incidents in the last year or two. Scanning worms such as Code Red will be addressed, as well as the possibility of flash worms (very rapid worms with entirely prescripted spread maps), and topological worms, which rely on information on infected machines to find others.
Then work on detecting and/or stopping worms will be the focus. First GrIDS, a system developed at UCD in the mid nineties that detected worms and other large scale misbehavior by correlating connections that had something in common and occurred sufficiently close together in time. Such connections were assembled into graphs, and large graphs were indications of worms. More recently, Silicon Defense has been working on techniques to prevent the spread of worms on networks.
Approaches for stopping scanning and flash worms and initial ideas on topological worms will be provided. Finally, wormholes and honeyfarms will be noted, especially ideas for capturing and automatically characterizing worms early in their spread.


A tree can tell a story to Dan Henry.
The big tulip poplar in Fishburn Park, for example, paints a picture of what the surrounding area might have looked like when it sprouted decades ago. Instead of standing narrow and straight like a ship’s mast topped by a widened crown, the tall tree’s many limbs spread wide like outstretched arms, resembling a roomful of aunts coming to hug a child.
Henry, Roanoke’s longtime urban forester, said the tree had grown wide, filling space around it, because the trees that cover the park’s hillsides probably weren’t there when the tulip poplar was young.
“All that was probably wide open,” Henry said, motioning toward the tree-covered hill. “You wouldn’t have seen limbs spread out like that in the woods. That might have been all fields or grass over there. That tree would have been a bean pole.”
Perhaps not all of the city’s 20,000 or so trees have such stories, but each plays a role in Roanoke’s “urban forest.” For more than 30 years, Henry’s job was to make sure that the forest was healthy, the native species were thriving and the tree canopy that provided shade was full and lush. He retired in December, having helped Roanoke enhance its image as a green city.
Henry was the first professional forester hired by Roanoke when he came on board in 1989. At that time, urban tree management was a blossoming field.
For decades, Roanoke, like many other American cities, performed only routine maintenance when it came to trees. If a tree fell or posed a public hazard, work crews removed it. Plantings were often left to private developers or homeowners. That was pretty much the extent of Roanoke’s care for its trees.
Henry devised a management program that sought to care for and increase the number of trees that grew on city-owned property. Henry and his cohorts understood that trees held immense ecological value, which included reducing streambank erosion, limiting stormwater runoff and providing shade in the steamy asphalt jungle of the city, not to mention adding a little beauty and nature to neighborhoods.
“Dan has had a tremendous impact,” said Michael Clark, director of Roanoke’s Parks and Recreation Department, which is where Henry worked. Clark has known Henry since 2007. Before Henry arrived, “the city didn’t have a plan for forest management or street trees, but thanks to his professionalism and expertise, he kicked off the urban forests program.”
Relying on grant money that seemed to grow on trees before the Great Recession hit around 2008, Henry guided an inventory of the city’s trees and helped create an urban forestry task force that eventually increased the city’s tree canopy — the coverage of trees, limbs and leaves as viewed from above — from 32% to 48%. The U.S. Department of Agriculture calls 40% coverage a healthy urban canopy.
In recent years, parks and recreation’s urban forestry team has played a large role in development of the city greenway system, including scores of plantings along the Roanoke River Greenway.
In fact, the city’s urban forestry plan calls trees essential to the city’s economy as Roanoke positions itself as a hub of outdoors recreation.
“Roanoke’s economic future will depend on its perception as a ‘green’ or outdoors city,” the plan states. “Visitors and residents need to see more trees at [c]ity gateways, major corridors, and within public and privately owned parcels.”
“He had a lot of influence over the Roanoke River Greenway,” Liz Belcher, the city’s greenways coordinator, said of Henry’s handiwork along the paved trails. “That included picking species that would survive and look good. He spent his career beautifying Roanoke. He’s a great guy and a person who also gave you straight talk.”
Tall and easygoing, Henry is a guy who loves to talk about trees and his job.
“I look at trees as a community, in concert together,” he said. “A walk in the woods is my favorite outing. I can spend as much time looking at a tree rotting on the ground as one standing next to it.”
Henry, 60, first worked for a Roanoke tree-care company after graduating from Virginia Tech with a forestry degree in 1982. He had grown up in Duchess County, New York, near Poughkeepsie in the Hudson Valley, where he spent many youthful days hiking and camping in the woods.
“I didn’t know what I wanted to be when I grew up,” said Henry, the first member of his family to attend college. “So I just thought about what interested me and moved in that direction. Nobody had heard of Virginia Tech where I lived. Back in those days, I found out about it by reading a trade journal.”
When Henry sought Roanoke’s urban forester job in 1989, his boss at the tree company could not understand why the young man wanted to leave the business world for a job caring for trees growing among pavement and concrete. Henry saw it as a chance to shape a landscape.
“There were plenty of opportunities to move up the corporate ladder,” he said, “but there was no real arborculture back then.” He wanted to look at trees as they connected to communities and neighborhoods.
In the early days, Henry worked closely with a number of people, especially Marilyn Arbogast, the city’s horticulturist, and Charlie Blankenship, a retired forester. Arbogast had lobbied city officials to hire a professional forester and Blankenship helped put together the forestry task force.
“These were people with a passion for urban forestry,” Henry said.
Over the years, he has battled foes both natural and financial. Pests and diseases have decimated American forests, even in the cities. The emerald ash borer is killing ashes, woolly adelgids are wiping out native hemlocks and Dutch elm disease has devastated American elms. Roanoke has preserved some of its majestic elms with injections of fungicide.
Some of those protected trees include three century-old elms lining Jefferson Street in front of the Roanoke Main Library. Nearby Elm Avenue and Elmwood Park derived their names from previous American elms that filled the sky with their enormous crowns in the 1800s. Five other elms have been removed from Jefferson Street over the past 20 years due to disease and age.
Urban tree care faced the budget ax in the 2000s, when the recession chopped funds for maintenance and plantings. That’s when Henry oversaw the founding of Roanoke Tree Stewards, an initiative for which trained citizens handle routing care of the city’s trees.
The stewardship program “has been very successful,” Clark said. “Every class we offer fills up.”
Roanoke has been recognized as a Tree City USA by the Arbor Day Foundation for more than 20 years thanks to Henry and his team. The honor goes to cities that spend resources caring for trees and that understand the ecological and economic value of trees.
He and his wife, Shelly, who also recently retired, have two adult daughters, and they will spend their time split between Roanoke and visiting two grandchildren in North Carolina. He retired with the title of parks manager, having handed off forestry duties to Bill West, who is currently the city’s urban forester.
“I just wanted to put people together to connect and collaborate on urban projects,” Henry said. “People are passionate about trees.”

"Keep Houston Dirty” is not an unofficial city nickname, such as “Keep Austin Weird.” It was the title of a September 1, 2006 show that featured Houston’s graffiti artists. Not everyone in Houston was happy about the event; Houston’s city government is trying to fight graffiti.
The seemingly endless imitation Texas city slogans include “Keep San Antonio Lame,” “Keep Dallas Pretentious,” “Keep Dallas Plastic,” “Keep Dallas Douche,” “Keep Denton Chido,” “Keep Abilene Boring,” “Keep College Station Normal,” “Keep Georgetown Normal,” “Keep Round Rock Mildly Unusual,” “Keep Wimberley Weirder,” “Keep Lubbock Flat” and “Keep Waco Wacko.”

Event explores graffiti as art
by EVELYN VILLATORO
The Daily Cougar
Downtown’s The G.R.A.B. can anticipate a new exterior as more than 20 Houston graffiti artists will renovate the bar’s façade Friday during the Art Crimes event Keep Houston Dirty.
Keep Houston Dirty is an event that organizers hope will prove graffiti is more than what meets the eyes.
“We’re trying to expose graffiti for more of an art form than gang-related,” Daniel Holdridge, an advertising junior and co-founder of Art Crimes, said.
Graffiti is usually not perceived as a form of art, but as a type of vandalism that is often illegal. Unfortunately, most of the graffiti Houstonians see is not exactly fine art and usually is promoting some sort of gang.
Holdridge and his crew want to change that point of view.
While the graffiti artists are expressing themselves with spray paint outside, DJs will keep partygoers jumping inside.
ABC Eyewitness News
Graffiti artists put on controversial show
(9/02/06 - KTRK/HOUSTON) - Graffiti fans and critics are butting heads again, this time over a graffiti show in downtown.
Graffiti artists spray painted downtown businesses Friday night as part of an event called “Keep Houston Dirty.” The painters say their work decorates buildings. But a Houston city council member calls it a menace that should not be celebrated in the city.
“There is no place… You are not welcome if you’re a graffiti artist and you’re putting your vandalism on the buildings in our city,” said Houston city councilmember Michael Berry. “There is no place for that. You are not welcome.”

The Guardian reports:
A French waiter fired for being “aggressive, rude and disrespectful” says his behaviour wasn’t out of line – he’s just French. Guillaume Rey, who worked at a Vancouver restaurant on Canada’s Pacific coast, filed a complaint with British Columbia’s Human Rights Tribunal against his former employer, claiming “discrimination against my culture”.
The restaurant, operated by Cara Operations, accused Rey of violating its code of conduct and said he persisted in his behavior despite verbal and written performance reviews. In alleging discrimination Rey said French culture just “tends to be more direct and expressive”.
The Telegraph reports:
Au contraire, his “direct, honest and professional personality” was, he insisted, drummed into him at French hospitality school and he was simply following their guidelines. Grumpiness aside, both parties agreed Mr Rey was good at his job.
The restaurant and its parent company had attempted to brush off the discrimination complain but tribunal member Devyn Cousineau denied that request, meaning it will receive a yet unscheduled hearing. The outcome, however, is still far from certain.
“Mr Rey will have to explain what it is about his French heritage that would result in behaviour that people misinterpret as a violation of workplace standards of acceptable conduct,” she wrote in her decision.

(1997) I like to read fiction because it transports me away from Hollywood, and I like travel novels. I also drive up the coast to Santa Barbara to escape and get out of town. I stay the most at the San Ysidro Ranch. It's a quiet and simple, protected village and no one bothers you. It's also very pretty.

Professional indoor soccer is returning to the Puget Sound area, new club owner Dion Earl announced on Monday.
Earl, a former player for the A-League Seattle Sounders and indoor Seattle SeaDogs, said the team will be called The Stars, with no specific home city included.
Earl said a home arena and head coach will be announced in two to three weeks. The team will play in the newly organized Major Arena Soccer League, which will bring together teams that previously played in the Major Indoor Soccer League and Professional Arena Soccer League.
“My three kids are the driving force,” Earl said. “I want them to grow up to play soccer someday and grow to love it as much as I did. I want to bring professional indoor soccer back to the area. It’s exciting.”
The MASL is expected to begin a 20-game season in October. @donruiztnt

Four men including a UK national who were imprisoned for killing Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl were not present during his beheading but were convicted of murder because Pakistani authorities knowingly relied on perjured testimony and ignored other leads, a report has concluded.
The results of the Pearl Project, an investigation carried out by a team of US journalists and students and spanning more than three years, raise troubling questions about Pakistan's dysfunctional criminal justice system and underscore the limits US officials face in relying on Pakistani authorities.
The four men convicted in the killing did help kidnap the American journalist, according to the investigation. But it says forensic evidence known as "vein-matching" bolsters the confession of al-Qaida third-in-command Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the professed mastermind of the September 11 attacks on the US, to having killed Mr Pearl.
The report says at least 14 of 27 people involved in abducting and murdering Mr Pearl in 2002 are thought to remain free. And the four who have been convicted could be released if their appeal is ever heard because of false and contradictory evidence used in their trial.
Mr Pearl, 38, was abducted from Karachi on January 23, 2002, while researching a story on Islamist militancy after the September 11 attacks.
On February 21, 2002, a shocking video of his killing was delivered to US officials in Pakistan. His remains were found in a shallow grave on Karachi's outskirts three months later.
Within months of his disappearance, Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, a Londoner of Pakistani heritage, and three accomplices were caught, charged, and convicted of murder and kidnapping. Sheikh, called the kidnapping's mastermind, was sentenced to death in July 2002.
The three others were given life terms, which in Pakistan usually means 25 years.
Since then, the men's appeals have gone nowhere in the courts, despite dozens of hearings. Both the defence and the prosecution blame each other for stalling tactics, and there is constant speculation that Sheikh is being protected, possibly by Pakistani intelligence agencies.
Defence attorney Rai Basheer said the prosecution knows it would lose on appeal and is delaying the process, but prosecutor Raja Qureshi dismissed those claims.
"I challenge the defence to come and attend the case properly and consistently, and they will themselves know whose case is weak," he said.
The Pearl Project's findings appear to strengthen the defence's hand. For instance, it finds significant discrepancies between Pakistani police reports and later court testimonies, including that of a taxi driver whose account was considered crucial to the conviction.
Authorities apparently cajoled the driver to change his earlier story and, while testifying, place Sheikh with Mr Pearl near the restaurant where the journalist was picked up by his abductors, the report says. But Sheikh is believed to have left Karachi before other men he had recruited carried out the kidnapping.
At the same time they were building their case against Sheikh and the three others, investigators did not pursue leads provided by another suspect in custody. That man, Fazal Karim, allegedly was one of the guards holding Mr Pearl hostage and was there during his killing. Karim also led investigators to Mr Pearl's grave.
But his account differed from the taxi driver's, threatening the prosecution's case against the four on trial. US officials pushed the Pakistanis to restart the trial to include all the evidence, but the prosecutor argued that doing so would give the defence a huge advantage, so Karim's account didn't make it to court, and he was later set free.

Yesterday I decided to try out my new trail-running shoes by hiking the woods in Clayton Park. After the first mile or so, I decided to try a little running — even though I’m way out of practice and have been suffering from horrible shin splints. The good news is that my shins held up fairly well and I was able to run large chunks of this somewhat difficult trail. I love my new shoes!

Photos and videos of the unexplained white and pink light-show sent social media into a frenzy.
Users frantically questioned the possible origin of the weird pattern in the sky over Beijing, while some resorted to making light of the situation.
Some joked it resembled a giant torch, while others were convinced it was the result of a UFO.
Global attention was drawn to the bizarre light by a popular page on China’s Twitter equivalent, Weibo.
“Beijing things Beijing people don’t know” posted footage with the caption: “Bizarre scene appeared in the sky over Beijing. Have you seen it?”
Another popular Weibo account claimed the light was not just over Beijing, but also present in Taiyuan, Zhengzhou and Qingdao.
Pictures emerged of both bright white trails, seemingly emitting beams of light, and other strange pink patterns.
The suspected object is actually believed to have been a caused by a rocket launch over 200km (in miles please) away, according to local media.
Beijing Evening News claimed the light shows were caused by the launch of navigational Beidou satellites.
The satellite, whose name means “Big Dipper” in Chinese, will join Russia and EU’s satellites with global coverage.
