CANAYA Family
[16-Jun-2011]: When first posted, the Canaya Family had an Antonina Canaya and a padre no conocido as the starting persons. Although that was based on records, many other records read later on had a Bibiano Alejandro as the husband of a Ma. Antonina, and I'm now more inclined towards this link and, thus, this revision of the family tree. There are examples of other families where the widowed wives were identified by the family name (Dalmacia Aleonar, Laurencia Sasuman) but if these women were legitimately married, I'd assume that the fact of their children later bearing these surnames was not the result of the maternal line, but rather because the husbands themselves had already died before the entire family received the surname and, naturally, were never known by the surname, and thus, could not to be called retro-actively by it. But the surname did proceed from the male line and, thus, it was the husband's family. I agree and insist my family trees follow that very sound policy. And not just because there was no retroactive clause in Claveria's decree, or else, if we insist on appending all our pre-surname ancestors with our 160-year-old surnames, Adam and Eve would have a very serious problem indeed, having to take on all the surnames known to mankind.
The descendants of the Barabas family (now mostly spelled Baraba) will all also have to be appended to the Canaya family because the starting mother, Ma. Ysabel, was buried as Isabel Canaya, married to Laurente Barabas. Although I'd already kept a file for the Barabas family, it was always just Ma. Ysabel and seeing the record (December 1850) was a happy find indeed. However, there is no link found yet how exactly Isabel was related to either Bibiano Alejandro or Agustina. Children of both lines were born about the same period, suggesting that the two may have been siblings. Anyway, just by the surname alone, for sure they were related.]
In the 2010 Voters list for Carcar, there are 88 voters surnamed Canaya, the 133d most numerous surname in the list. There is only a Baraba family name (3 voters) in the Carcar 2010 list of voters.

There is a legal precedent regarding contempt charges that basically state that if a person is held for an extended time period without compliance and there no longer is any reasonable chance that further incarceration will produce the desired result, then the person being held on contempt is to be released. That never happened in Armstrong's case because he was being held on behalf of the members of the "club."
He subsequently sued the prison system for negligence for locking a known homicidal maniac in the same cell with him. The result? This is what recently happened after promises were made during Martin's "confession" that they would not seek restitution.
The following information was released by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission:
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced today that it obtained more than $27 million in remaining restitution and permanent injunctions in consent orders that settle its fraud charges against Martin Armstrong of Maple Shade, N.J., and his investment firms Princeton Global Management Ltd. (PGM) and Princeton Economics International Ltd. (PEI). In addition to the restitution awards, the consent orders bar Armstrong, PEI and PGM from trading, applying for registration, engaging in any activity requiring registration or acting as a principal of any registered entity or person.
The Honorable Kevin P. Castel of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York entered the consent orders of permanent injunction on June 24, 2008, and July 31, 2009.
Armstrong is currently serving a five-year sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution at Fort Dix, N.J. On August 7, 2006, Armstrong pled guilty in a related criminal action brought by the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York (USAO). Armstrong was sentenced pursuant to the April 10, 2007, order of the Honorable John F. Keenan of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
The consent orders arise from a CFTC complaint filed on September 13, 1999, against Armstrong, and PGM and PEI, the corporations he directed as chairman (see CFTC Press Release 4312-99, September 14, 1999). The complaint alleged that from approximately November, 1997, to September, 1999, Armstrong, PEI and PGM defrauded customers by operating and managing a commodity pool that concealed substantial trading losses incurred as the result of commodity futures trading. The complaint further charged Armstrong, PEI and PGM with issuing reports to customers that fraudulently represented the net asset value of their interests in the commodity pool. A related civil action was filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
This Order against Armstrong, PEI and PGM entirely resolves the CFTC's charges.
Order Follows Previous CFTC Settlements with Participants in the Fraudulent Scheme.
In July, 2004, the CFTC entered an order against Harold Ludwig, former co-director, with Martin Armstrong, of PGM, which required Ludwig to pay $4.9 million in restitution and a $2 million civil monetary penalty for his role in fraudulently allocating profitable trades to benefit himself rather than the Princeton customers. Also in July, 2004, the CFTC entered an order against William Rogers and Maria Toczylowski, the former President and Vice President, respectively, of the commodity futures division of Republic New York Securities, Corp. (Republic). The order required them to pay $6 million and $400,000 in restitution and $2 million and $240,000 in civil monetary penalties, respectively, for their roles in executing net asset value letters that intentionally misrepresented the true values of the Princeton accounts and for assisting in fraudulently allocating trades to the detriment of Princeton customers (See CFTC Press Release 4952-04, July 13, 2004).
In December, 2001, the CFTC entered an order against Republic, a futures commission merchant through which the trading was conducted, that imposed a $5 million civil monetary penalty against Republic for its role in assisting Armstrong, PGM and PEI in hiding significant trading losses and in operating a Ponzi scheme. (See CFTC Press Release 4590-01, December 17, 2001).
Former Customers Injured by the Scheme Have Received More Than $600 Million in Return for Their Losses.
At the outset of this matter, at the CFTC's request, the U.S. District Court froze Armstrong's, PGM's and PEI's assets and appointed a receiver to recover and distribute assets to defrauded investors. The receiver has thus far distributed more than $50 million in restitution as part of an interim distribution ordered by the court (see CFTC Press Release 5054-05, March 14, 2005). An additional $569 million as part of a related proceeding filed by the USAO against Republic (see CFTC Press Release 4590-01, December 17, 2001) has also been distributed to the defrauded investors.
The CFTC appreciates the assistance and coordination of the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and the Securities and Exchange Commission in this matter. The CFTC also thanks the Court appointed Receiver, his staff and legal counsel for their efforts in successfully recovering and distributing assets to the defrauded investors.
The following CFTC Division of Enforcement staff were responsible for this case: Stephen J. Obie, Vincent A. McGonagle, Lenel Hickson, Jr., Steven Ringer and Sheila Marhamati.
This action was taken in direct retaliation for Martin suing the prison system, plain and simple.
The SEC had earlier agreed to review his case but have denied him any relief. Below is Martin's latest argument to the SEC.

Your lil sailor is going to love this nautical inspired collection. Navy and sky blue, slate, white and cream combine beautifully for a balanced and harmonious blending of unique fabrics. The adorable fish are actually embroidered (not printed) on cream ground. The fish are richly detailed and a fine example of high quality materials with added durability. The stripe is lightly textured seersucker and the white fabric is soft velvet. Bumper, quilt and rail guards are trimmed with silver corded piping. Quilt back is super soft cream fabric. Bumper ties are shell gray grosgrain ribbon. Fish Tales tend to get better with the telling, but this one lives up to the story ...the one that didn't get away! Hand made in the USA for quality, comfort and design you can count on.

Hi all out there,
everytime I start folder-comparison (a very huge one on a very fast computer), I notice that there is only one proces collecting all files and doing the comparision. I think, it is possible to this very faster with multiple threads, because all folders are located on SolidState-Disks.
I searched the forum for parallelization, openMP, thead support e.t.c., but could not find anything about that.
Just, how do you think about that?
PS.: Sorry for my bad english - Ich gelobe Besserung

While I do have an old beer can collection in the attic, this beer can did not start out as part of the collection.
During the summer of 1984, I was working as a cashier in an IGA grocery store when they put their remaining stock of MASH beer on sale for less than $2 a case (it was that awful!).
Knowing a bargain when we saw one, my buddies and I bought out the remaining cases and proceeded to polish off that beer as quickly as possible.
Somehow one can managed to escape us by hiding in the back of the fridge. It has remained refrigerated ever since (to my wife's dismay).
Someday I suppose some poor unsuspecting soul will pull it out of the refrigerator and drink it.

Officials with the Cowlitz County Sheriff's Office in Washington say a deputy was shot and killed in the line of duty Saturday night - the first in the 165-year history of the department.
Justin DeRosier, 29, was responding to a report of a disabled vehicle when he radioed in that he had been shot, Sheriff Brad Thurman said at a press conference Sunday. DeRoisier was flown to PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center in Vancouver where he was later pronounced dead.
DeRosier, a graduate of Washington State University, had been with the department since May 2016. DeRoiser was set to begin training as a narcotics investigator with a drug task force in July.
He's survived by his wife and 6-month-old daughter, Thurman said.
The shooting prompted a massive manhunt for the suspect or suspects responsible for DeRoiser's death. On Sunday evening around 7 p.m., officers responded to reports of a suspicious person near Spencer Creek Road in Kalama, the Cowlitz County Sheriff's Office said. When officers arrived on scene, a suspect began firing on police and ultimately killed in the exchange.
None of the officers were hurt in the shootout. Authorities have not yet released the identity of the suspect or the two other men who were arrested at the scene. No additional details were released about the gun battle.

Top-Notch Indian Street Eats at Chai Pani in Asheville, NC
Step inside Chai Pani in Asheville, North Carolina for weekday lunch and it might feel far-fetched that head chef Meherwan Irani was a semifinalist for a James Beard Award in the "Best Chef: Southeast" category this year. It took me a minute to realize I should seat myself, and then more time before noticing that I had to pick up a menu from the podium and order at the counter/bar. That said, Chai Pani does offer table service during dinner, as well as weekend lunch.
Regardless, the tide turned at the counter, when I sensed that I was in for something special. The staff is warm, very proud of the food, and eager to offer suggestions. Prices, already reasonable, became almost ridiculous when I was given the option to order half-portions for more tasting opportunity. The posted thalis of the day looked interesting, as did the wraps and uttapam (savory Indian crepes) that I saw diners eating at the counter, but I was here for Chai Pani's Chaat—a representation of the savory snacks you'd find street vendors serving throughout India. In fact, though Chai Pani literally means "tea and water," it's also slang for going out to enjoy a tasty snack and perhaps a cup of tea.
My must-have item was the Sloppy Jai ($8.49), their play on kheema pav. The spicy curry hails from the streets of Mumbai, made with minced meat (mutton, goat, chicken, etc.) and served with bread. Chai Pani's version uses lamb, which is simmered with tomatoes, ginger, and aromatic spices. One order contains two slider-style sandwiches, the curried meat served on toasted buns and topped with onions, cilantro, green chutney, and sweet yogurt. I was immediately enamored with the bold and bright flavors, with pickled cabbage an appropriately acidic counterpoint.
I contemplated a wide variety of tempting sides, like the Masala Fries or Matchstick Okra Fries, but I ultimately settled on Kale Pakoras ($3.99 for a half-portion, pictured) to satisfy my craving. These savory kale fritters are made with a thick, curried chickpea batter, for an extremely crunchy, super-addictive salty snack. I found myself alternating between the accompanying dips of green chutney and sweet yogurt, each uniquely satisfying and enjoyable.
To round out my lunch, I got an order of Green Mango Chaat ($3.99 for a half-portion, pictured). The dish is a flurry of flavors and textures, with ingredients that include fresh green mango, peanuts, golden raisins, corn poha (Indian corn flakes), onions, cilantro, green chutney, tamarind chutney, and fried curry leaves. With the sweet and savory combined, I actually saved some bites as my "dessert" to end a delicious lunch at this unique, destination-worthy restaurant.

Gospel Shaped Church is a five-track curriculum from The Gospel Coalition. It is designed to take the whole church family on a journey to discover how the gospel should shape every part of their life and witness. Five immersive tracks look at the impact of the gospel on worship, outreach, daily living, work and caring for those in need.
Each presenter has been hand-picked by The Gospel Coalition for their faithfulness to the gospel as well as their clear and engaging teaching style. Each track is made up of video teaching sessions, group discussions, Bible studies and personal devotional readings. The flexible sessions can be run in adult Sunday-school style meetings, or in a smaller home-group setting.
To run each track you need a Leader's Kit (containing a Leader's Guide, DVD and sample Handbook) as well as extra Handbooks for use by course participants. Extra Leader's Guides are available as required.
"We want churches called into existence by the gospel to be shaped by the gospel in their everyday life". Don Carson and Timothy Keller, Co-Founders, The Gospel Coalition.
"This five-part curriculum lights up the clear aim to see God's people more and more shaped by the gospel of Jesus Christ. Here are practical, Word-filled resources to help spur on gospel growth in local congregations. They are a gift to the church, created by leaders who love and serve the church." Kathleen Nielson, Director of Women's Initiatives, The Gospel Coalition.

I've long been a fan of Lori and her blog Bee in my Bonnet. I have made some of the blocks in her fabby book Quilty Fun which are now mini quilts on the wall in my Den. I also took part in her sewalong last Christmas and enjoyed it very much. I was therefore very very happy to get my mitts on Farm Girl Vintage which looked, if possible, even better!
A little like the Christmas sewalong and Quilty Fun, the idea with the new book is that there are lots of individual blocks and these can then be made into a variety of quilts, the settings for which Lori helps you with, or you can make smaller projects such as pot holders or table runners.
This appealed to me enormously as I have found myself with not much time to sew in recent months so the idea that I could just fit in making the odd block for an hour here or there seemed a winner. At least that was the theory.
As you can see from these images, it's a really beautiful book to look at. I never tire of looking through it and it is often to be found beside my bed of a night for a little pre-sleep inspiration so I wake up all fired up the next morning. Lori has a gorgeous home which is really individual to her and provides the perfect backdrop for the shots of her blocks and quilts. Drool-worthy stuff!
It has been great fun and very inspiring to follow the farmgirlvintage hashtag over on Instagram. It feels like one big farm girl vintage obsessed sewing family!
I wanted to use similar fabrics to Lori, bright happy colours with a vintage feel, modern fabrics in a retro style. It looked like the stash could handle it.
However, at the annual Festival of Quilts, a little farm girl vintage inspired shopping may have taken place.
It is a very practical book as it is spiral bound so it is easy to turn to the page you need and not wrestle with the spine. The format is that the first major chunk of the book is devoted to the individual blocks followed by the various quilt settings and projects.
The style of the blocks varies. On the one hand, there are what I would term traditional patchwork blocks such as stars, squares, churn dash, flying geese (above) and so on. These have afforded me some good opportunities for fussy cutting to which I am always partial.
(The fussy cut centres are from a single fabric by Kokka.)
Then there are the more pictorial style blocks. These are cute and fun!
Aside from choosing your fabrics carefully to balance the lights and darks and achieve the contrast this block needs, did you realise it is just six and a half inches square when finished? Working on that scale is tricky because there is very little room for error. The book gives you the option of making six or twelve inch finished blocks (giving you the cutting requirements for each). I fancied working small as I love the fiddliness of it and I have enjoyed the challenge of trying to get it as perfect as I can, that to me is the beauty of working on just one block at a time. It's an exercise in patience though!
I've really enjoyed getting into the spirit of farm girl vintage. Being a country bumpkin now, I seem to be surrounded by the perfect inspiration. From our fluffy chooks I can see from the window of my Den, to the cherries we've picked in the garden, to the fabulous vintage farm tractors at the Great Dorset Steam Fair last Friday.
How I would love that tractor for a little photoshoot once my quilt is finished! I have enjoyed trying to think of different ways to snap my finished blocks which I've been posting on Instagram along with all the other farm girl sewers. Each time we post a block, we hashtag it with the name of the block so it's great to be able to search and see everyone else's blocks.
Lori's Instagram feed (where she is beelori1) is incredibly inspiring. She has posted lots of updates including sharing with us what has been happening on the sewing retreats she has been running over in the States. At these retreats, she has released a couple of new patterns and also shown us variations on some of the existing blocks in the book. There are several PDF patterns which link in with the book over at Fat Quarter Shop. I have made this cute pig and I think the apple will follow soon.
Lori has also created Farm Girl Fridays over on her blog where she posts something new on the topic, you guessed it, every Friday. She talks through the process of making one or more blocks and suggests some fun variations. She also links to various other bloggers who are sewing along with Farm Girl Vintage.
My aim is to make the Farm Girl Sampler Quilt from the book. This will have forty-eight different blocks (all those in the book plus a few of the PDFs) along with sashing and borders to make a finished quilt 62.5" x 76.5". I have now made over half the blocks so I need to keep trying to fit in a few when I can and get them finished, hopefully this year!
I'm loving it!

Is posible to get unbleached flour un Mexico?
Hello everybody,
Im from Mexico, and I just tried King Arthur flour WW and its amazing!
Now I can see what´s the deal about unbleached flour , problem is, that i can´t find any unbleached flour here yet.
Does anyone knows a brand of unbleached flour here? Its really expensive to import good flour from USA
For the record: I have search for a while with no luck, i found a good brand of bread flour in mexico (i live in monterrey, nuevo leon) its name is bizkaia, its better than any other weak bread flour here, but isnt unbleached, im open to use a grain mill, but im not sure if i can get the right wheat in here.
Thanks for your help!

Israelis have been in near universal agreement that CNN is thoroughly biased in favor of the Arabs and against Israel. In the two years since Arafat launched the Oslo war, CNN has certainly done little to disavow Israelis of this notion.
The Israeli dissatisfaction with CNN has been so great that Fox News recently began broadcasting in Israel as an alternative to CNN.
Things reached a boiling point, however, with Ted Turner's not too bright comments equating the Israeli army and terrorist suicide bombers. In an attempt to contain the damage, CNN responded quickly. They disassociated themselves from Turner's statement and sent a representative to speak to Israel's Minister of Communications.
And they presented to viewers an in-depth look at the victims of terror -- certainly a first for CNN.
As part of this presentation, CNN broadcast interviews between Wolf Blitzer and the victims of terror and their families. And the CNN web site is carrying this in-depth look. And what a look it is.
In a web link called Projecting Terrors Toll, CNN informs us that when taken on a per capita basis, Israel's terror casualties in the last six months represent more than three times the casualties the U.S. suffered on September 11th.
And they provide other very telling comparisons.
Israel's population: 5,938,093
# Victims of Terror: 229
# Civilians Killed by Terror as a Ratio of Total Population: 1 in 26, 292
U.S. (population 287,353,588) per capita equivalent # of victims: 10,888
This presentation of statistics seems so uncharacteristically sympathetic to Israel that James Taranto, in his outstanding "Best of the Web Today" feature, mused on June 24th "This is CNN?"
But does this look at terror, in fact, portend a newly found objectivity at CNN? Is Israel finally in for some honest, sympathetic treatment? An examination of the CNN presentation provides some interesting answers.
The first thing to notice is something that can easily be overlooked -- CNN is providing statistics for the last six months only.
CNN omitted more victims than they included.
Why is CNN using six months as the cutoff for a terror war that was launched two years ago? That is like viewing WWII or Vietnam War casualties in terms of the last six months of those wars. This can only provide watered-down statistics. Here are the statistics that CNN should have provided -- statistics for the full two years of the Oslo war.
# killed: 559, not 229. CNN omitted more victims than they included.
Kill ratio to population: 1 in 10,622, not 1 in 26,292.
U.S. equivalent: 27,052, not 10,888. Roughly equal to 9 World Trade Centers, not 3.
Furthermore, CNN totally ignores the victims who were seriously wounded. In the World Trade Center, the number of seriously wounded was probably small -- if you didn't perish, you walked away in one piece. Not so for the Israeli victims of terror. Many of these victims will suffer the rest of their lives from paralysis, missing limbs, and bodies embedded with nails and screws. Not to mention the psychological scars.
The number of seriously wounded is currently 4206. When added to the number of dead, you get the following comparisons:
# dead/seriously wounded: 4765.
Ratio to total population: 1 to 1,246.
U.S. equivalent: 230,620.
Almost one in every one thousand Israelis has been murdered or seriously wounded.
These are absolutely staggering figures. Almost one in every one thousand Israelis has been murdered or seriously wounded. The U.S. equivalent would be close to a quarter of a million people. CNN totally ignored these figures. And in focusing on only the last six months, CNN does more than lie with statistics. The web site contains photos of, and information about, the victims. But only for victims of the last six months. In a tragically ironic and painful insult to the victims whose relatives were interviewed by Wolf Blitzer, the photos of those victims are not available on the web site, because they fell outside of CNN's arbitrary six-month cutoff.
There can be little doubt about Wolf Blitzer's compassion and sympathy for those he interviews. But why does CNN omit the photos of the murdered parents and children of the Schijveschuurder family (whose son/brother was interviewed by Blitzer), and the picture of Koby Mandell (whose mother was interviewed by Blitzer)? Why are there no photos of the victims of the Dolphinarium bombing, the Sbarro Pizza Shop bombing, and countless other terror attacks?
Is this making much ado about nothing? Could this have merely been an innocent choice or oversight by CNN?
A major complaint of Israelis about CNN is that CNN is so reluctant to say anything good or sympathetic about Israel, that when it finds it must, it does so grudgingly, minimizing the sympathetic images or offsetting them with irrelevant negative images. And conversely, when CNN can make Israel look bad, they do so repetitively.
Recall the coverage of the shooting of Muhammad as Dura, the Arab boy who was shot as his father tried to protect him during a gun battle. CNN, like most of the world, erroneously thought that the Israelis shot the boy. So CNN rebroadcast that footage over and over, making Israel look ruthless. And later, when terrorists were killing Israelis, that same al Dura shooting was used as a counterweight to offset the actions of the terrorists.
Or recall the more recent blood libel regarding the imaginary slaughter in Jenin. CNN constantly repeated the lies of the Arabs, reporting unsubstantiated numbers of between 500 and 1000 helpless Palestinian civilians slaughtered by Israeli soldiers. All the while, Israel, which has a reputation for truth and accuracy, protested that the casualty figure was closer to 50, most of them combatants. Which, of course, turned out to be the truth.
So could this have merely been an innocent choice or oversight by CNN? Possibly. The cynics amongst us are skeptical. We cynics tend to see most CNN reporters as throwbacks to the Sixties -- people who never outgrew their liberationist ideologies, who are unhesitatingly sympathetic to any third world underdogs including the most savage, psychopathic murderers. We see them as a professional subculture that, through this liberationist/underdog prism, enjoys the ultimate symbiotic relationship with their Palestinian drivers, translators and cameramen.
And we find it hard to believe that CNN, which so successfully managed to include a non-existent bloodbath in its projected figures, somehow inadvertently lost over 300 verifiable Israeli victims in their body counts.
Why, then, did CNN run the Victims of Terror feature? Could it be a newly found concern for those victims? Doubtful. Could it be that they are concerned with losing the paltry Israeli market share (well under six million) to Fox News? Again, doubtful.
Perhaps they were concerned that Israel would revoke the journalist credentials and privileges of their reporters. After all, if CNN cannot cover Israel, they will have nothing to broadcast.
But for whatever reason they presented an in-depth look at the Victims of Terror, it seems clear that CNN simply cannot bring itself to tell a sympathetic story about Israel without distorting it or downplaying it. In fact, the closer you look, the more you see that this in-depth coverage was quintessential CNN.

It's been awile sins we have seen an update. And some important issues like KooRaRoo loosing al it settings after a Windows 10 update are not adressed. Is KooRaRoo still being worked on or de we have to look for a new DLNA server?
It's been awile sins we have seen an update. And some important issues like KooRaRoo loosing al it settings after a Windows 10 update are not adressed. Is KooRaRoo still being worked on or de we have to look for a new DLNA server?
Sadly, it must be close to dead. KRR grew, and improved rapidly when Dennis developed the software, with virtually a new update monthly. Support was daily and often within hours of posting. I had several direct contacts from Dennis with updates and fixes to my specific issues. Now.... nothing.... except a posting here, to expect something soon. Little on the support side either.
After the software was sold about 2 years ago, everything has almost come to a full stop. The first update 2.4 was about 3 months later (by Dennis), followed 9 months later with 2.5 which had some fixes. Aside from a few posts telling us to expect more in the next couple of months, nothing and we are approaching 1 year with release 2.5.
Perhaps the purchase of KRR was intended to close it down?
What other DNLA are you considering? I use the server that comes on my Asustor NAS. It functions more effectively and consistantly than KRR, but lacks the GUI interface of KRR, has zero sorting or dynamic lists.
Serviio To bad KooRaRoo isn't being maintained anymore.
Thanks, I will give it a try. How do you find it compares (to KRR)?
I found Serviio to be very tricky with a large library. It doesn't seem to like multiple NAS sources, though it works great in a limited environment.
Mezzmo works great for quite long periods of time then will inexplicably crash, taking whatever was encoded with it. The original files are not affected, but all the transcoding becomes inaccessible. I've gotten around this by backing up the database once in a while, and converting large amounts of my library to mp4, as this seems to put the least amount of stress on the server, but it still needs more development.
I tried Plex, too, but in some ways it is so flexible is it confusing. It works really well with streaming, and a friend of mine has that sorted out. Technically that is a bit beyond my scope.
Over all, I've had the best success with Mezzmo, but they all lack in different ways. They all have their merits and flaws, but they all could use some more development and design reassessment.
Tried Serviio trial, wasn't for me, although I see many who have gone over to it with positive comments. Was Dennis originally working for Mezzmo? KRR looks quite similar to their screen shots?
Just purchased Mezzmo. Development has started again, and it has had 4 updates in the past month. http://www.conceiva.com/products/mezzmo/ I have been with Kooraroo for many years, but needed an alternative. I actually think that it is now better than Kooraroo.

You take beer seriously. You want it as pure as it was the day it left the brewery—untainted with light and heat. You want the best beer possible, and you want to take your time drinking it. Do you want a 64-ounce wide mouth vacuum insulated stainless steel growler?
It's Friday afternoon, you've made it through the long week, and it's time for Happy Hour, Gizmodo's weekly booze column. A cocktail shaker full of innovation, science, and alcohol. This beats five go-cups.
What Is It?
A 64-ounce, insulated stainless steel growler—to the uninitiated, that's basically a giant bottle a beer store fills straight from a tap with your favorite microbrew.
Who's it For?
People who love beer so much that even a regular old glass growler isn't good enough.
The dual stainless steel walls prevent heat transfer, and a thick, wide Nalgene-style cap makes for easy pouring.
Using It
You take it to your microbrewery or beer store to have it filled up. Screw on the cap, pay for the beer, then go find the nearest glass.
The Best Part
Sweet, frosty goodness! Unlike other bottles we've tested, this thing actually works!
Tragic Flaw
The price. $50 is steep, when you can typically get a glass growler for a $5 deposit.
This Is Weird...
It also keeps hot beverages hot, but who puts a hot drink in a growler?
Test Notes
- With the growler at room temperature, we paid $12 to fill it up with 64 ounces of a black IPA called Wookey Jack, made by Firestone Walker. The beer was 41.5 degrees F at its initial pour. Ten minutes later, it read 43.5 degrees F. Because the bottle was warm inside, we lost a few degrees to reach equilibrium.
- After six hours in 80-degree F heat, the beer's temp had only risen to 47 degrees F. A 3.5-degree increase over six hours is damned impressive. The carbonation was perfectly intact.
- After 24 hours sealed in the growler, the temp had risen to 61.5. Certainly couldn't be called cold. But still, it was pretty tasty for a bottle of beer we first open 24 hours ago.
- For our second test, we pre-chilled the inside of the bottle by filling it 3/4-full of ice water and sticking it in the freezer for an hour. Then, we refilled it with a $16 jugful of Schmaltz Brewing Company's Mermaid Coney Island Pilsner. The beer went in at 40.5 degrees F.
- After a little over an hour, the pilsner had only risen to 41.1 degrees F—on an 88 degree day! That should be plenty of time to get from the tap to the destination. Only gaining 0.6 degrees on the way is perfectly acceptable.
- A couple hours later, and it was holding steady at 42.7 degrees. Very nice.
- The Hydro Flask survived a four foot drop with no problem. Try that with a glass growler.
- The wide mouth is easy to clean with a standard dish brush.
- You need a pretty big palm to grip and pour it one-handed.
- The lid's leash is stiff enough to not smack into your hand every time you pour. Also, it's plastic, but it's BPA-free.
- Glass-walled vacuum bottles can't handle carbonated beverages because the pressure will crack the interior wall, but that shouldn't happen with the stainless steel walls on this one.
Should You Buy It?
If you buy growlers, period, you probably have high standards for beer. And if you care so much about beer, why not treat yourself to the best possible bottle for it? Look, $50 isn't cheap, but consider this—you won't have to commit to a single store's deposit/return/refill cycle, you get a receptacle that can't let in light, that's also beautiful, and durable enough to last you for years. Add to that how good it is at insulating your suds, and this is a one very desirable bottle.
The only problem is that it's so desirable that it's currently sold out. (it will be available again in early October, and you can order these directly from many breweries and other stores right now. We'll have a list for you in a moment.) In the meantime, you can put in an order, and take our tips on how to keep good beer from going bad. [Hydro Flask]

High-Tech Speech Treatments Receive Boost from Grants, Teamwork
Dr. Thomas Campbell, executive director of the Callier Center, and his colleagues are using electromagnetic articulography data to create a real-time computerized representation of a tongue's movements. Patients can see how they move their tongues when they talk, which could help them improve their speech.
Researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas have received three grants from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders aimed at treating a variety of speech disorders.
The multidisciplinary effort will focus primarily on improving speech communication, predicting verbal deficits in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and improving diagnostic testing for speech disorders in children.
Dr. Thomas Campbell, the Ludwig A. Michael, MD, Callier Center Executive Director and Sara T. Martineau Professor, is an investigator on all three projects.
The projects will be through the UT Dallas' Communication Technology Center (CTech), which fosters interdisciplinary collaboration and research and serves as an incubator to technology projects that focus on communication disorders.
Dr. Thomas Campbell
"CTech is different from other programs because we develop the technologies to study communication and also because we combine the efforts of several specialties that could not accomplish these projects on their own," Campbell said. "We are truly interdisciplinary in our approach to developing communication technology."
CTech is made up of researchers from the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science and the School of Arts and Humanities.
Campbell and his colleagues received a small-business grant to develop software that uses the data from electromagnetic articulography to create a computer-generated representation of a person's tongue movements. Electromagnetic articulography detects the movements of oral sensors in an electrostatic field. The display would provide patients with a real-time view of how they are moving their tongues when they talk, which could help them to improve their speech.
Dr. William Katz
Dr. William Katz, co-investigator and professor at the Callier Center for Communication Disorders, said that healthy speakers know how to control their tongues to make the right sounds. But people with apraxia of speech can have trouble with this process. They typically know what they want to say but have difficulty making their muscles perform correctly, causing sounds to come out wrong.
"It'd be like trying to grab for a cup without being able to see your hand. All you know is you didn't get it," Katz said about speech training without visual feedback. "Our approach is to give the patient additional real-time information about tongue movement during speech. The goal is to improve their tongue positioning behavior through self-correction and practice."
A second grant will use the same electromagnetic articulography to predict the progression of ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. ALS is a neurodegenerative disease that leads to paralysis and death.
As ALS progresses, the motor neurons enabling speech eventually die, thus robbing the patient of the ability to speak. Using the electromagnetic articulography, researchers hope to improve their ability to reliably monitor changes in the tongue movements in ALS patients. This information may allow future software to recognize intended words and create an avenue for continued communication.
"CTech is different from other programs because we develop the technologies to study communication and also because we combine the efforts of several specialties that could not accomplish these projects on their own. We are truly interdisciplinary in our approach to developing communication technology."
The last grant focuses on developing new measures for diagnosing speech disorders in young children. Knowing specifically how a child is having difficulty producing speech may give clinicians a better chance to develop targeted treatments.
Campbell and his colleagues will test new software developed to aid speech-language pathologists in the diagnosis process. The main test for the software is whether it will detect the subtle speech characteristics that indicate different speech disorders, such as the length of pauses between words or the accuracy of diction.
Speech sounds recorded from 200 children will be submitted to the software, which will conduct spectral and temporal analysis on the sounds to predict disorders. By comparing the computer analysis to clinicians' diagnoses, the researchers hope to offer refinements to the software to increase its reliability and accuracy. Eventually, they hope the software will automate the diagnosis process for clinicians.
Other UT Dallas researchers and centers involved in the studies are Dr. Robert Rennaker II, Dr. William Katz, Dr. Jun Wang, Dr. Balakrishnan Prabhakaran, Eric Farrar and the Texas Biomedical Device Center.
Co-researchers on the projects will include Dr. Jordan Green from the Massachusetts General Institute of Health Professions; Dr. Lawrence Shriberg from the University of Wisconsin; and Vulintus, a biomedical research and development company.

It's been a while since I posted, so here's a quick recap of the last week or so in the Rollins househould...
We didn't have any damage other than downed limbs and a soggy yard from Fay. Lots of wind and rain, but overall it wasn't bad here.
We made an overnight trip to Melrose so we could visit with Papaw and Lillian (Jared's grandfather and his girlfriend) before they headed back to Bradenton. We enjoyed hearing about their trip to Indiana to visit family, and Charlotte enjoyed all the attention. She also really enjoyed "Mr. Bear", the stuffed bear that somehow or another ended up being passed to Mom and Dad. He's usually dressed up for the upcoming holiday or season, so of course he was sporting his Gator shirt! Charlotte had a great time giving him lots of [bear] hugs.
Charlotte started getting a stuffy and runny nose a few days ago and is still fighting off a cold. She slept through the night last night but that was the first time in several days. Her nose was getting so stuffed she couldn't breathe through it, which made sucking her thumb difficult. It was so pitiful :( The cold was passed to Jared, but it seems like he might be rid of it before Charlotte is.
On Saturday morning, my mom stopped by with some friends for a few minutes to see Charlotte (Jared and I don't get visitors anymore... Charlotte gets tons though!). Later in the day we went to a friend's house here in Jax to watch the Gators put a nice thrashing on Hawaii. Austin and Ashley are fellow Gator grads and are as equally obsessed (if not moreso!) with the football team, so it was a lot of fun. Another couple, Jeff and Lynn, and their little girl, Andi, were there too. Andi is a couple months younger than Charlotte and Charlotte seemed to think that Andi was her toy. :)
And then Saturday afternoon Charlotte and I went to the booming metropolis of Hampton to celebrate my Grandma's 85th birthday (Jared was feeling too crummy to go)! She slept the whole way there and home, which made the trip much more pleasant. Unfortunately, while we were there she was not in the best of moods so she wasn't too keen on being passed around the family. Here she is (in her Gator gear!) with her Papa.
Charlotte is getting into just about everything within her reach and she's started lifting her leg to try to climb to whatever may be just out of reach. She's even gotten herself stuck a time or two underneath the hutch in the kitchen reaching for something. She's very curious and very mischievous. She's also started waving, which is so funny to see. It's not a small dainty wave of the hand... she gets her whole arm into it! It looks like she's pumping water from a well.
The past few days she's had a new fascination with looking out the window in the office.
She's starting to make the "mama" sound, but I don't think she's saying it in reference to me. But the fact that she's said that before "dada" gives me hope that "Mama" will be her first word!
Well I think that's it. We hope everyone enjoyed their nice long weekend! I'll do my best not to be such a blog slacker in the future!

Fay, Fay, Go Away
Fay is upon us so we're hunkered down in the house waiting out the storm. Jared's office closed early yesterday afternoon and is closed today so it's nice to have him home with us. It was raining off and on yesterday with high winds but didn't get too bad until after Jared had gotten home. I think it stayed that way throughout the night and it's been raining all day so far with the winds picking up here and there. We haven't lost power (or cable!) at all yet so it's been a nice day to stay on the couch wrapped up in a blanket. We had planned to leave for Miami this afternoon to visit Ryan & Anette (Ryan is a friend of Jared's from high school), but with the weather like it is we've decided it would be safest to stay home. I think the last time we saw them was the Saturday after Thanksgiving when they came over to meet Charlotte and watch the Florida v. Florida State game. Hopefully it won't be too long before we get to see them!
Here's a short clip of the rain coming down in our back yard. The pond is up higher than it has ever been and our side yard is covered in water. But I don't think we'll have any damage or major cleanup so we're grateful for that!

After a long evening of putting away and cleaning up, the kitchen is finally finished... almost :) We still have some minor touch-ups on the cabinets and we're going to get new lighting panels (ugly as they are, we don't want to take on the task of new lighting any time soon), but the kitchen is finally put back together with everything in its place! And we could not be happier with how it has turned out! It is amazing how one can of paint and some new hardware (and lots of hard work) has drastically changed the look of the space.
I enjoy doing projects like this, but I am so thrilled to have a working kitchen with clean counter tops again. I think we'll stick to watching the HGTV and DIY channels for a little while. I'll make some new curtains after not too long and we'll eventually get a new exterior and pantry door (both painted a fun color to match the new curtains), and even a little further down the road we'll get new counter tops. But for now, we're really happy with our kitchen!

Almost Finished...
The kitchen has come along nicely and is looking great! I was hoping to have everything back in its place and all in order tonight, but that probably won't be done until tomorrow. The cabinet doors are all on, the drawers are in, and the knobs and handles have all been put on. So tomorrow my tasks will be to touch up some of the sides of the doors, put everything back into the cabinets, and clean up! The kitchen floor is disgusting and the carpet needs a good shampooing too since we've been walking in and out so much. I'd like to get all that done tomorrow, but I know that most likely will not happen.
Hopefully we'll have pictures to share tomorrow evening of our new kitchen!!

Kitchen Renovation
Jared and I have been wanting to do some kitchen renovating for a while, and yesterday afternoon we decided this was the perfect weekend to do it! So I called my mom to see if she could come play with Charlotte and keep her occupied while we worked, which she was more than glad to do, and if we could borrow her and Jerry's power sander and paint sprayer. Jared called Dusty to get the paint info that we needed (for those who don't know, Dusty runs a painting business and is our hook-up for a discount on paint!). So last night we made a trip to Lowe's to get the new hardware and some painting supplies and we did as much prepping to the cabinets that we could.
This morning we were up bright and early (courtesy of our alarm clock, a.k.a. Charlotte) and finished some last minute prepping. Jared went to Sherwin Williams to buy the paint and as soon as Mom and Jerry arrived with their tools, we got started. In the perfect world we would have finished it all today... but that's not where we live so that's not how it happened. But we did get a lot done and are very confident that by Monday evening, we will have doors back on the cabinets and drawers back in their place.
A while back when Jared first mentioned to Dusty that we were wanting to paint the cabinets white, Dusty suggested "Antique White". We trusted his opinion and didn't realize until we opened the paint can that neither of us had actually seen what "Antique White" actually looked like. Luckily, we love it, even moreso than the whiter version that we had in our heads! Thanks, Dusty, for all the info and the great recommendation for the color. And thanks for not telling us that "Midnight Maroon" is a really nice shade of white that would look really good in our kitchen (we wouldn't put that past you). :)
Mom and Jerry were a huge help too. They played with Charlotte all day which allowed Jared and I to work (and work, and work, and work...). They wore that little girl out with all that playing- she went to sleep so quickly after being put down tonight! And the tools they let us borrow have saved a ton of time, so we really appreciate them coming up today, especially on such short notice!
Here are some pictures from yesterday and today. I'll try to post a few more tomorrow evening and Monday when (hopefully!) it'll all be done.
Everything but the kitchen sink has been removed from the kitchen!

The kitchen as is now... such a mess!

Saturday Night Fever
Charlotte and I had an eventful morning yesterday- we took a quick trip into Keystone for a baby shower for Kristin Hubbard, a friend from our old church. It was nice to see her and share some of my birth story and the truth that no one ever tells you about childbirth! There was a really nice turnout so I also saw some of our old church family (at least the ladies of the church family since the men don't do things such as baby showers:). Of course, they were not nearly as happy to me as they were Charlotte. When you have a baby, you lose your identity - you become your kids' mom :)
We got back home to find that Jared had been doing a ton of work outside. He took out a lot of bushes in our front yard that really opens up the front entryway. And he trimmed back some other plants, and he cleaned off the porch roof and gutters. It was pouring Friday night and we noticed some water not making it all the way to the end of the gutter but was spilling over in front of the sliding glass door in our bedroom. It was collecting in the track of the door but luckily it wasn't so bad that it made its way onto the carpet. After cleaning the gutter and adding a screw, we shouldn't have the problem any more. He was wiped out by the time he finished!
And, of course, Charlotte got a new boo-boo. With her newfound mobility, boo-boos and scratches are a daily occurrence, but yesterday she hit her eye on the coffee table pretty good. The wailing that ensued was pretty dramatic, but for the ding and bruise she has, it was probably warranted. I felt so bad for her.
Then, around 6:00 we decided we were going to head to the beach and walk around for a little while. We live so close to the ocean but Charlotte hasn't been there a single time. We had everything ready to go and I was just changing Charlotte's diaper before we were going to leave, and I noticed that she seemed a little warm. I took her temperature (which she did not appreciate!), and the poor thing had a fever of 101.8. I called the doctor who told us that it could be a number of things as fever is the first symptom for practically everything, so to give her a warm bath with some peppermint oil in it, nurse more frequently, and try some Tylenol or Motrin if the fever didn't go down within an hour after the bath. Jared was put on cuddle duty while I ran up to the health food store to get some peppermint oil (although I ended up getting peppermint extract for putting in food rather than the essential oil for bathing and such things. I don't think Charlotte got any of the bath water in her mouth but if she had, she would have had minty fresh breath!).
When I got home she ate dinner and had her warm bath. I took her temperature again (and again, it was not appreciated), and it had come back down to normal. Then she got a short burst of energy and played with her toys for a little before bedtime. We even saw a few smiles from her so we knew she was all better. At almost 9 months old, the only sicknesses of any sort have been the sniffles, constipation, and this one fever. When she isn't feeling well, she gets very "cuddly" and just wants to snuggle, which is sweet since the only other time she does that is when she is really tired. All other times, there are just so many more things for her to do. She got a good night's sleep and we are so glad she's feeling better this morning. My diagnosis is that she just had a little "Saturday Night Fever". If we see any platform shoes or polyester suits in her closet, we'll know what they were for.

Weekend at Grandma's
Forgive me for being a total blog slacker... I have no excuse other than my own laziness :(
Last weekend we took a trip up to Port Wentworth, GA to visit Jared's Grandma. We found out last week that she has a malignant tumor behind her tear duct and will be having surgery on the 14th. So with that news, all the Rollins gang decided to head her way and cheer her up! I don't know if we cheered her up or just wore her out, but we had a great time (and hopefully she did too!). We had seen her and Uncle Bennie a few weeks before at the family reunion, but really didn't get to spend much time with them because there were so many people there, so it was nice to just to be able to sit and talk with her and the rest of the family for a while.
After visiting with her on Saturday morning, we went into downtown Savannah for some sight-seeing and dinner. We were hoping to be able to go to Paula Deen's The Lady & Sons, but around 2:30 or so when we were there, they were already booked for dinner. And even though we all agreed that it would be nice to eat at someplace distinctly Savannahian, we ended up having dinner at Tony Roma's. :) It turned out great though because we were the only group seated downstairs so it was nice and quiet (as quite as it can be with two babies and a very lively three year old!).
We went to church with Grandma on Sunday and shortly after lunch and birthday cake for she and Uncle Bennie, Jared, Charlotte and I headed back home. Unfortunately, Charlotte is still not a great traveler. She had a tantrum in her car seat for about 30 minutes on the way home. We stopped for gas and Jared hopped in the backseat with her and she was fine from that point on (as long as she was holding her "Comfort Cross"-- whenever she dropped that, she started fussing). And before we take another overnight trip, I'm going to have her "practice" sleeping in her pack and play during naptime. She did not sleep well either night in the hotel and ended up in bed with us for most of both nights. ::Sigh:: If any moms have any suggestions for this problem, feel free to share!
Here are a few pictures from the weekend...

I'd been meaning to write about this story for a while now, but finally got around to it. In case you missed it, Thousands of NFL players' medical records were stolen. Here's a piece of the DeadSpin summary of the incident:
In late April, the NFL recently informed its players, a Skins athletic trainer's car was broken into. The thief took a backpack, and inside that backpack was a cache of electronic and paper medical records for thousands of players, including NFL Combine attendees from the last 13 years. That would encompass the vast majority of NFL players
The Redskins later issues this statement:
The Washington Redskins can confirm that a theft occurred mid-morning on April 15 in downtown Indianapolis, where a thief broke through the window of an athletic trainer's locked car. No social security numbers, Protected Health Information (PHI) under HIPAA, or financial information were stolen or are at risk of exposure.
The laptop was password-protected but unencrypted, but we have no reason to believe the laptop password was compromised. The NFL's electronic medical records system was not impacted.
It's interesting that the Redskins said that it didn't include any PHI that would be covered by HIPAA rules and regulations. I was interested in how HIPAA would apply to an NFL team, so I reached out to David Harlow for the answer. David Harlow, Health Blawg writer, offered these insights into whether NFL records are required to comply with HIPAA or not:
These records fall in a gray zone between employment records and health records. Clearly the NFL understands what's at stake if, as reported, they've proactively reached out to the HIPAA police. At least one federal court is on record in a similar case saying, essentially, C'mon, you know you're a covered entity; get with the program.
Michael Magrath, current Chairman, HIMSS Identity Management Task Force, and Director of Healthcare Business, VASCO Data Security offered this insight into the breach:
This is a clear example that healthcare breaches are not isolated to healthcare organizations. They apply to employers, including the National Football League. Teams secure and protect their playbooks and need to apply that philosophy to securing their players' medical information.
Laptop thefts are common place and one of the most common entries (310 incidents) on the HHS' Office of Civil Rights portal listing Breaches Affecting 500 or More Individuals. Encryption is one of the basic requirements to secure a laptop, yet organizations continue to gamble without it and innocent victims can face a lifetime of identity theft and medical identity theft.
Assuming the laptop was Windows based, security can be enhanced by replacing the static Windows password with two-factor authentication in the form of a one-time password. Without the authenticator to generate the one-time password, gaining entry to the laptop will be extremely difficult. By combining encryption and strong authentication to gain entry into the laptop the players and prospects protected health information would not be at risk, all because organizations and members wish to avoid few moments of inconvenience.
This story brings up some important points. First, healthcare is far from the only industry that has issues with breaches and things like stolen or lost laptops. Second, healthcare isn't the only one that sees the importance of encrypting mobile devices. However, despite the importance, many organizations still aren't doing so. Third, HIPAA is an interesting law since it only covers PHI and covered entities. HIPAA omnibus expanded that to business associates. However, there are still a bunch of grey areas that aren't sure if HIPAA applies. Plus, there are a lot of white areas where your health information is stored and HIPAA doesn't apply.
Long story short, be smart and encrypt your health data no matter where it's stored. Be careful where you share your health data. Anyone could be breached and HIPAA will only protect you so much (covered entity or not).

Tom Foley accuses Gov. Dannel Malloy of ethical lapses
Malloy spokesman: Comments 'factually incorrect'
Gubernatorial hopeful Tom Foley says he's "heard" several accusations of ethical lapses in Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's administration, but hasn't been able to confirm any of them.
Appearing on WFSB's Face the State Sunday morning, Foley said he'd gotten the information from "reliable sources."
Foley, the Republican nominee for governor in 2010, announced last week that he had formed an exploratory committee with an eye on challenging Malloy next fall.
He said whether any of the accusations are true or not, the mere perception that they are is harmful to Malloy.
In a statement emailed to reporters less than a half hour after Foley's comments aired, Malloy spokesman Andrew Doba said Foley's allegations were "factually incorrect."
"The reason he can't back them up is because they're untrue," Doba said. "Mr. Foley owes everyone to whom he referred an immediate apology."
Foley said he had heard Daniel Esty, now the commissioner of the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, had compensated Malloy during the 2010 governor's race, and that the money was not labeled a campaign contribution.
"A lot of people believe that his consulting firm Esty environmental partners or some entity that he controls was compensating Dan Malloy," Foley said.
In a statement emailed by spokesman Dennis Schain, Esty said Foley's allegations were "simply untrue."
"Neither I, nor my former consulting firm, employed or did any business with Dan Malloy or Class Green, the firm he was associated with," Esty said.
Foley also said first selectmen across the state knew they were more likely to get a bond approved by the governor if they used the law firm Pullman & Comley, where Andrew McDonald worked. McDonald, a longtime Malloy ally, is now a state Supreme Court justice. Prior to being appointed to the court, he served as Malloy's chief legal counsel.
Foley said that a firm run by former Malloy senior advisor Roy Occhiogrosso had an unfair advantage in obtaining the contract to do communications for Access Health CT, the state's health insurance exchange.
"Totally improper if this is the case...that somebody leaves the administration and turns around within a very short amount of time…and he receives a government contract," he said.
Access Health CT CEO Kevin Counihan confirmed that Global Strategy Group, where Occhiogrosso is a managing director, was chosen after a "competitive bid process" to do communications and outreach for the agency. Counihan said a formal request for proposal went out, to which three or four organizations responded.
"Global won based on a combination of their response for the RFP, their oral presentation, their experience, their prices," Counihan said. "There are a variety of criteria."
Counihan said any allegation that GSG was chosen because of Occhiogross's connection is "completely and fully wrong and factually inaccurate."
"I didn't even know there was an involvement (with Roy) until later," he said. "I was told Roy did some work for the governor. But they won on merit, and we received no communication from the administration, no counseling, no one asked to weigh in on it and we did not request anybody to weigh in on it. It was completely independent."
Because Access Health CT receives federal grants to operate, employees like Counihan are not considered state employees.
Foley also said Malloy's use of the UConn Foundation to fund international travel is an improper use of funds. He said a senior member of Malloy's staff pressured reluctant board members to permit him to use the funds.
"I think the perception that this administration does not have high ethical standards that favors are being done for friends and family is there and the mere fact that it's there is a problem," he said.
Foley said he hoped the allegations were untrue. But he said the fact that people think they could actually occur is a problem in itself.
"If I were governor nobody would even think these things possible," he said, later adding. "But these are things that are commonly accepted at the Capitol as being true."
Following the show, state Democrats released a statement calling on Foley to release details of arrests in 1981 and 1993.
"Every single one of the allegations Mr. Foley made are factually incorrect, and that's why he can't back them up," a statement from the party said. "Speaking of disclosure, Mr. Foley has steadfastly refused to release his arrest records involving two incidents, including one felony arrest in which he ended up spending the night in jail. Today the Connecticut Democratic Party call on Mr. Foley to release those records, in the spirit of open and full disclosure he says he believes in. The facts surrounding these incidents have never been brought to light. Mr. Foley has called them 'minor,' but no one spends a night in jail for something considered to be "minor.'"
In 2010, following a Hartford Courant story on the arrests, Foley released a statement saying that both incidents were minor and related to motor-vehicle incidents. In the statement, Foley criticized his opponents in the GOP primary race for wrongly saying he was "imprisoned" following one of the arrests and for saying that the 1993 incident involved domestic violence.
"To raise that specter (of domestic violence) publicly without any evidence is a shameful lack of fair play in the public domain," he said at the time.
Reached by phone later Sunday, Foley declined to comment on the arrests saying the focus should be on Malloy's record.
"If (Malloy) doesn't respond personally and say they aren't true by the end of the day tomorrow, I think reasonable people will assume that these accusations are true," Foley said.

Alabama town relieved that 5-year-old boy free after hostage crisis
MIDLAND CITY, Ala. -- For six anguished days, people in this small Alabama town asked just one question about the 5-year-old boy being held hostage in an underground bunker by a menacing, unpredictable neighbor: "Is he free yet?"
After FBI agents determined that talks with an increasingly agitated Jimmy Lee Dykes were breaking down, they stormed the closet-sized shelter and freed the kindergartner. The 65-year-old armed captor was killed by law enforcement officials, an official told The Associated Press.
Authorities say the boy, who they believed to be facing imminent danger, was doing well after his ordeal. But they have yet to answer questions as to how they monitored Dykes and exactly what prompted the rescue Monday afternoon.
And almost a week after Dykes was accused of fatally shooting a school bus driver on Jan. 29 and grabbing the child at random from a busload of students, the man described as threatening and volatile by his neighbors lay dead on his property in Midland City.
An official in Midland City, citing information from law enforcement, said police had shot Dykes. The official requested anonymity because the official wasn't authorized to speak publicly about the investigation into the case that had captured national attention.
As they had been throughout the standoff, authorities were tight-lipped about the end of the standoff. Neighbors said they heard a bang and gunshots, but the FBI wouldn't confirm that. Authorities also kept under wraps exactly how they were able to monitor Dykes and the boy in such a confined space.
"We have a big crime scene behind us to process," said Special Agent Steve Richardson of the FBI's office in Mobile, Ala. "I can't talk about sources, techniques or methods that we used. But I can tell you the success story is (the boy) is safe."
He declined to say if the property had been rigged with explosives.
Dale County Sheriff Wally Olson said late Monday that Dykes was armed when officers entered the bunker to rescue the child. He said the boy was threatened, but declined to elaborate.
"That's why we went inside -- to save the child," he said. " ... It's a relief for us to be able to reunited a mother with her child."
Daryle Hendry, who lives about a quarter-mile from the bunker, said he heard a boom Monday afternoon, followed by what sounded like a gunshot. Dykes had been seen with a gun, and officers concluded the boy was in imminent danger, Richardson told reporters.
It was not immediately clear how authorities determined the man had a gun.
After the rescue, authorities, said, the boy was reunited with his mother and appeared to be OK. He was taken to a hospital in nearby Dothan. Officials have said he has Asperger's syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Richardson said he had been to the hospital to see the boy and the child was laughing, joking, eating and "doing the things you'd expect a normal 5- or 6-year-old to do."
The rescue capped a hostage drama that disrupted the lives of many in a tranquil town of 2,400 people, nestled amid peanut farms and cotton fields some 100 miles southeast of the state capital of Montgomery. It is a small, close-knit community that has long relied on a strong Christian faith, a policy of "love thy neighbor" and the power of group prayer.
The child's plight prompted nightly candlelight vigils. Fliers appealing for a safe end to the crisis were tucked into the chain-link fence along with ribbons at the school where the kindergartner was enrolled.
While a town anxiously waited for days, authorities had been speaking with Dykes though a plastic pipe that went into the bunker. It was about 4 feet underground, with about 50 square feet of floor space, built like the tornado shelters common in this area of the South.
Authorities sent food, medicine and other items into the bunker, which apparently had running water, heat and cable television but no toilet.
The standoff unfolded just a few hundred yards from U.S. 231, a busy four-lane highway where both sides of the road were lined with law enforcement vehicles from local, state and federal authorities.
When it was over, one acquaintance, Roger Arnold, commented: "He always said he'd never be taken alive. I knew he'd never come out of there."
FBI bomb technicians later scoured the property for any explosive devices, FBI spokesman Jason Pack said. He added they would be conducting an even more exhaustive search of the site once it was deemed safe.
Asked about officials who said Dykes had been killed by law enforcement officers, Pack responded in an email early Tuesday: "The facts surrounding the incident will be established by a shooting review team from Washington, D.C., in the coming days."
At the request of law enforcement authorities, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta had approved the provision of certain equipment that could be employed to assist in the hostage situation, according to a U.S. official who requested anonymity to discuss a pending law enforcement matter. It is not clear whether the equipment was actually used.
Neighbors described Dykes as a nuisance who once beat a dog to death with a lead pipe, threatened to shoot children for setting foot on his property and patrolled his yard at night with a flashlight and a firearm.
Government records and interviews with neighbors indicate that Dykes joined the Navy in Midland City and served on active duty from 1964 to 1969. His record shows several awards, including the Vietnam Service Medal and the Good Conduct Medal. During his service, Dykes was trained in aviation maintenance.
He had some scrapes with the law in Florida, including a 1995 arrest for improper exhibition of a weapon. The misdemeanor was dismissed. He also was arrested for marijuana possession in 2000.
He returned to Alabama about two years ago, moving onto the rural tract about 100 yards from his nearest neighbors.
Ronda Wilbur, a neighbor of Dykes who said the man beat her dog to death last year with a pipe, said she was relieved to be done with the stress of knowing Dykes was patrolling his yard and willing to shoot at anyone or anything he suspected of trespassing.
"The nightmare is over. It's been a long couple of years of having constant stress," she said.
On Sunday, more than 500 people attended a memorial service for bus driver Charles Albert Poland Jr., who was hailed as a hero for protecting nearly two dozen other children on the bus before he was gunned down and the boy grabbed.
"This man was a true hero who was willing to give up his life so others might live," Gov. Robert Bentley said in a news release after learning of the boy's rescue.
