Nathe named Minority Small Business Champion0
MINNEAPOLIS (March 20, 2013) — Adam Nathe, an attorney with the law firm Gray Plant Mooty, has been named the Minnesota Minority Small Business Champion of the Year by the U.S. Small Business Administration.
The Minority Small Business Champion award is presented annually in each state to individuals who assist small businesses through outstanding advocacy efforts on behalf of minority-owned small businesses. Jan Jordet, Director of Consulting & Financing Services at the Metropolitan Economic Development Association (MEDA), nominated Adam Nathe for this award.
As a partner at Gray Plant Mooty, Adam concentrates his practice in commercial finance, agribusiness finance, and corporate law, advising business clients in a wide spectrum of commercial financing and corporate transactions. In his practice, he regularly represents small businesses as a trusted legal and business advisor.
In addition to a busy practice, Adam is committed to his community, regularly contributing more than 100 hours per year toward volunteer activities and pro bono legal services. He participates in organizations that work to promote diversity in the legal profession and in the Minnesota business community through organizations, including Twin Cities Diversity in Practice, the Minnesota Hispanic Bar Association, and the Minnesota Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
He also contributes numerous hours of pro bono legal services to individuals and organizations, through referrals from the Legal Aid Society, the Hennepin County Legal Access Point, and through client referrals from the Minnesota Economic Development Association (MEDA); and is presently working with claimants in Minnesota and Wisconsin through the USDA Hispanic and Women Farmers and Ranchers Claim Program.
Adam is also an active member in a number of professional organizations including the MSBA Diversity Committee, the Minnesota Hispanic Bar Association, the Hispanic National Bar Association, the Minnesota Agri-growth Counsel, the Commercial Finance Association, and the Association for Corporate Growth.
Adam draws inspiration from the business people he represents; and while he enjoys his role in coalescing deals for businesses large and small, he views law as a pathway for him to continue to be involved in the community and to give back, especially to others like him, who are first generation minority lawyers and entrepreneurs.
Adam will be honored at the Minnesota Small Business Week Awards program on May 6, 2013, at the Depot Minneapolis.

Popular Japanese author Miyuki Miyabe offers her take on one of the PlayStation 2's video games, Ico. The game's minimalistic plot might have left holes for you to fill. If you're not creative enough to do that, let Miyabe!
The game was designed by Fumito Ueda, and Miyabe offers her own take on the title. The 400-page novelization is not canonical, and the author offers her own take on the game.
That's right, a famous person checked out a video game and turned it into a book! Miyabe is best known perhaps for her book Brave Story, which was turned into several video games for the PSP, PS2 and Nintendo DS.
Miyabe's Ico book was published in 2004, and it will be released in English later this summer. Until then, feel free to make up your own prose about Ico. Worked for her.

Every Sunday, The Simple Dollar reviews a personal finance book or other book of interest to Simple Dollar readers.
The entire argument of Seth Godin's book Linchpin is that there are no longer any great jobs where someone tells you what to do. That's not to say there aren't great jobs out there – there are many – but they now require the ability to basically blaze your own path, creating things and building connections that are indispensable to those around you. That person, in Godin's terminology, is a linchpin.
I think, to a degree, this general argument is spot on. We live in a globalized world where most jobs can be shipped anywhere, from Mexico to Indonesia. Jobs in which people are merely following instructions all day are among the easiest to ship and the few that remain in America aren't going to be strongly financially rewarding. Success comes from making yourself essential to the operation – and simply following orders, even if you do it well, keeps you firmly in the "replaceable cog" camp.
How do you stand out? What kinds of choices can you make to turn yourself into someone indispensable? Let's dig in and see what the book has to say.
The New World of Work
Most jobs where you simply follow instructions and do a faceless job demean the real value you provide. They're faceless jobs, but you're not a faceless person. You're not merely a cog in the machine of capitalism – but your job might be. The biggest difference between a follow-the-instructions job and a linchpin is that a linchpin creates his or her own value, whereas an instruction follower doesn't add any value beyond a specified task that's completed. A linchpin works in ways that improves those around him or her, while an instruction-follower simply follows the tasks at hand. I like to think of it this way: what's the difference between a mediocre administrative assistant and the best administrative assistant you can imagine? That's roughly the difference between a person who is a linchpin and a person who is not.
Thinking About Your Choice
The choice that's on your plate is simple: do you keep merely following instructions and counting the days until Friday or do you look for ways to make yourself transcend those roles and become a linchpin? This is an urgent question, because a global marketplace makes the instruction-follower role more dispensable than ever. Some people are content to fill the role of instruction-follower – and that's fine. However, the career opportunities for such people are simply shrinking – that's a fact of life.
Indoctrination: How We Got Here
Most of what we learn in school serves one purpose – to make you an effective person at filling an instruction-follower job. Schools do not encourage creative thinking (which is an invaluable part of being a linchpin) – instead, they encourage lots of rote memorization and repetitive tasks which are scored on standardized tests. It's a pretty neat trick to make school funding tied to these standardized tests, isn't it?
Becoming the Linchpin
Every workplace has a few people that are simply indispensable. They take very challenging situations and make them work. They seem to solve tons and tons of problems. They're the ones everyone goes to when there are crises. Those people are the indispensable ones – if you're not one of them, you're a lot more dispensable than they are. The question really is whether or not you're willing to work to become one of those indispensable folks.
Is It Possible to Do Hard Work in a Cubicle?
Being a linchpin means a lot of hard work. The biggest part of it is being willing to give all of what you have to doing a great job. This does not mean just filling your hours with whatever task you're assigned. It means bringing all of your passion, your ideas, and your creativity to the table whenever you work. It means taking on the hard problems that might scare you a little bit (or more than a little bit).
The Resistance
Our brains typically work in resistance to those kinds of tasks – we're biologically wired to look out purely for number one. We avoid risk. We avoid anything that might be perceived as a threat. We avoid generosity. However, all of these things – risk, taking on threats, generosity – are key parts of being a linchpin. We have to work hard to overcome these resistances in order to become something greater.
The Powerful Culture of Gifts
Giving of yourself to others opens countless doors. Our brains often expect immediate reciprocity – if we give something, we want something in return and soon. The world rarely works that way. Our generosity – going above and beyond the expectations of others – builds a strong reputation for us, one that secures our work and builds positive relationships and interactions for us in ways we often never directly see. Quid pro quos rarely work – but building a strong reputation for great work and generosity certainly does.
There Is No Map
How do you do this? Unfortunately, there is no road map – and that's a big part of the difficulty of it. You have to seek out the challenges in your own situation and take them on head first. You have to seek ways to up the quality of whatever it is you're doing. In other words, you have to go off the instruction sheet – and that's the real challenge.
Making the Choice
Linchpin value is created by what you choose to do, not by what you're born with. Anyone can become a linchpin – it's not an inborn trait, it's a sequence of choices to step beyond the instructions and do things that improve everyone around you. It's a scary choice, but it's still a choice, one that offers a lot of rewards if you're willing to take the leap.
The Culture of Connection
In order to succeed as a linchpin, you have to build a lot of connections with the people around you. Indispensable work is work that's connected to the work that others do. You build on their work and they thrive on the work you've done. A big part of this is personality and attitude and a big first step is to recognize that negativity towards others will never, ever get you to being a linchpin. Positive relationships are the ones upon which you can build great things.
The Seven Abilities of the Linchpin
Here are the seven abilities, in a nutshell, from page 218:
1. Providing a unique interface between members of the organization
2. Delivering unique creativity
3. Managing a situation or organization of great complexity
4. Leading customers
5. Inspiring staff
6. Providing deep domain knowledge
7. Possessing a unique talent
Linchpins provide at least one of the things on this list and often provide more than one. It's key to remember that these things are there to provide value to the people around you and make their work better, because in doing so you make yourself indispensable.
When It Doesn't Work
If you're trying to be a linchpin and it isn't working, blind persistence is usually not the way to go. The value of a linchpin isn't in repeating things that aren't clicking or working. Instead, they constantly seek out new approaches and ideas and try them, instead. No one has a 100% success rate with their endeavors and ideas, but it is the successful ones that provide so much that they more than make up for the failed attempts.
Is Linchpin Worth Reading?
If I were to hand a recent graduate or a twentysomething a book on modern careers and how to succed in them today, I'm pretty sure that Linchpin would be the first book that I would grab.
The ideas in this book are reflected in virtually every workplace I've ever been a part of, from entry-level work to highly technical work. The people that stepped up to help others and solve problems were the ones that were indispensable, while the others merely hoped to hold onto their jobs. I also noticed that the people who stepped up to the challenge tended to be a lot more positive about their job, whereas the people who were dispensable were negative about their job and the people around them.
There are a lot of great ideas about the modern workplace in this book. If you're struggling in your career, Linchpin is probably well worth a read.

Hamels' next step is to work in Minors game
ARLINGTON -- Cole Hamels joined the Phillies for Opening Day on Monday at Globe Life Park, but he will be back to work Tuesday.
Hamels said he plans to pitch in a Minor League game Tuesday at Carpenter Complex in Clearwater, Fla., which will be his second start of the spring since falling behind schedule because of inflammation in his left shoulder. Hamels, who opened the season on the disabled list, figures he will need six starts before he is ready to rejoin the Phillies' rotation.
If he continues on his current schedule, Hamels could rejoin the team in the final week of April.
"I feel normal now," Hamels said. "That's the best thing. I can go to sleep at night and have the understanding I'm not going to wake up sore, as I would if something was wrong."

JAKARTA, Indonesia —
Indonesian police have arrested a man wanted in connection with a jewelry shop robbery that they suspect was staged to raise funds for terrorism activities.
Police spokesman Brig. Gen. Boy Rafli Amar said Tuesday that Fajar Sidik was arrested last week in Central Java. He said Sidik is accused of providing guns used by alleged terrorists in recent robberies and attacks on police.
Amar said three of Sidik's alleged accomplices were killed and four others were arrested by police during a separate raid near Jakarta last month.
Indonesia has long struggled with the threat of domestic terrorism. Police say the extremist groups appear to be increasingly using robberies as a way to fund their activities.

bribery, Greek
Simon Hornblower
Much Greek vocabulary for bribery is neutral ('persuade by gifts/money', 'receiving gifts'), although pejorative terms like 'gift-swallowing' are found as early as Hesiod (Op. 37 ff.). Attic tragedy contains accusations of bribery against e.g. seers like Tiresias (Soph. OT 380 ff.); Thucydides' *Pericles (1) (2. 60. 5, cf. 65. 8) finds it necessary to say that he has not taken bribes; clearly the normal expectation was that politicians did. Accusations of bribery are frequent in 4th cent. orators, partly because you had to prove bribery in order to make a treason accusation (*eisangelia) stick: Hyperides 4. 29 f. Hyperides 5. 24 f. (with D. Whitehead's comm., 2000) implies an Athenian distinction between bribes taken for and against the state's interests; the latter type have been called 'catapolitical' (Harvey; but see H. Wankel, ZPE 85 (1991), 34 ff.). See also
freedmen/freedwomen, Greek
David M. Lewis and Sara Zanovello
In the Greek world, manumission, which spelt the end of an individual's life in slavery, was achieved in a variety of ways, but it often entailed legal obligations to remain (paramenein) as a free servant for a fixed period of time. In some cases, freedmen and freedwomen subject to paramone obligations were able to "buy out" of this condition (apolysis). Manumission documents, which have been found in many parts of the Greek world, particularly in northern Greece (especially Delphi), reveal the legal position of slaves and how it differed from the legal position of freedpersons. Unlike in Rome, freedpersons in the Greek world did not automatically become citizens of their ex-owner's polis (although some freed slaves did manage to achieve naturalization in return for benefactions bestowed on the community). In Athens, they held a legal position almost identical to that of resident foreigners (metoikoi), with some minor differences. Manumission was usually a private act, but in some cases the polis manumitted privately owned slaves, and in Sparta, helots could only be manumitted by the state. The frequency of manumission in the Greek world remains a debated topic, but recent work has raised the possibility that its use as an incentive for slaves was probably targeted mainly at slaves working in skilled, "care-intensive" roles, and also for slaves (including hetairai) with whom individuals conceived sexual attachments.

Zeugitai (from zeugos, 'yoke'), at Athens, Solon's third property class, said (perhaps by false analogy with *pentakosiomedimnoi) to comprise men whose land yielded between 200 and 300 medimnoi of corn or the equivalent in other produce (the other three classes were *pentakosiomedimnoi, *hippeis, *thētes). The name identifies them as those who served in the army in close ranks (cf. Plut.Pel.23), i.e. as *hoplites, or, less probably, as those rich enough to own a yoke of oxen. Despite recent doubts, this class probably included many of the farmers and craftsmen of *Attica, and provided the bulk of the hoplite army. Under Solon's constitution the zeugitai enjoyed full citizen rights except that they were not admitted to the highest magistracies (see

Server arrangements
Because Django uses WSGI, it can run on any WSGI-compatible Web server. Here's how to run Django on various server arrangements.
See the official documentation.
Apache and FCGI
Flup (the FCGI wrapper used for this) has a little bug with python 2.3 that will make larger pages stall on access just before end. Make sure you use the newest svn checkout for the flup library, as the bug is fixed in there.
See Django, Apache and FCGI. Needs stuff from the lighttpd+FCGI documentation.
Mac OS X users see Django with FCGI on OS X? -- How to get Django up and running with FCGI and the Mac OS X default Apache 1.3
lighttpd (via FCGI)
See Hugo's excellent tutorials:
Also see ticket #152.
See ticket #172.
See the description in the trac-wiki for how to combine them. TooFPy is a pure-python webserver with focus on the creation of web services.
Apache and SCGI
SCGI can be used with Apache like this. It builds on stuff from the Apache+FCGI documentation above.
Django behind/inside Zope
Not really a server arrangement per se, I've found a way to query a Django site from Zope or Plone and return the result. This allows you to include a Django site inside a pre-existing Zope/Plone site. Good for custom content that you don't want to use existing Zope technologies to develop. For the code, see this Pastebin or drop an email to jeff (at) bitprophet (dot) org.

"Preach the gospel at all times. Use words when necessary".
-Saint Francis of Assisi
Is it bad that I almost cringe when I hear this quote? Ok, probably. To be fair though, the very first time I ever heard it, I thought it was one of the coolest quotes ever. And that initial reaction probably has something to do with its effect on me now…
You see, when you tell a shy person that words are unnecessary, we tend to run with it. And run with it I did. Hey, so long as I'm living my own life as an example to others, I never really have to put myself on the line, right?
Clearly this is not at all what Saint Francis meant. He meant that we are to live for Christ in such a profound way that people cannot help but notice something different, and that is bound to lead to some words (and bound to make us shy people a little bit uncomfortable). But we will always find a way out of actually proclaiming the Gospel if we are looking for one…
Another common go-to for those of us who are often hesitant to actually share our beliefs has to do with parables. It's the almighty one-liner that proudly asserts that Jesus himself often taught in parables rather than teaching a traveling Catechism class. Indeed, the power of a compelling story to convey a message is something valuable for anybody to understand, and can be effective for some aspects of evangelization. However, it is very possible to overstate the power of story when it comes to evangelization.
It would be a mistake for any person, just beginning to discover the power of the parable, to reduce all of evangelization simply to storytelling. Because while it is true that Jesus often taught in parables, he did not teach exclusively in parables. And it would be silly to argue that Jesus' teaching was always more effective when he used stories, as the parables often left the disciples scratching their heads (and they at least actually had the opportunity to ask for clarification!).
It seems that Jesus often used stories not to clarify but, at least in a certain sense, to conceal a deeper meaning. In Matthew's gospel, we see Jesus begin to speak in parables only after the Jewish leaders reject him—something important to take note of. The gospel is for everyone, though not everyone is for the gospel.
In his encyclical on evangelization in the modern world, Pope Paul VI tells us that "The Good News proclaimed by the witness of life sooner or later has to be proclaimed by the word of life."
And specifically:
"There is no true evangelization if the name, the teaching, the life, the promises, the kingdom and the mystery of Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God are not proclaimed"
It's not that we should all be yelling about Jesus from the street corners. It's just that we can't fool ourselves into thinking we're sharing Christ with others if we're afraid to speak His name.

Anything Digital necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 126 diseños de 29 diseñadores freelance.
We are a small team out to conquer the complicated world of video transcoding on the Apple OS X platform. We have created a very efficient application that will transcode videos from one format to the other easily and quickly. The application features a host of pre-sets for popular devices such as Apple TV, iPad, iPhone, Xbox, PSP as well as generic formats (AVI, Quicktime, WMV, etc...).
The application is open-source, GPL-licensed and very, very fast making full use of modern multi-core processors.
While this space is very crowded in Windows, there are only about a dozen real competitors for OS X and we want BusyBoy to stand out from the pack.
We have a very broad base of users, though our application will only operate on OS X. Typical users would be anyone who wants to put their videos on various mobile devices and platforms as described above. We have designed the BusyBoy interface to be friendly to new OS X users but also have the flexibility and power to be the preferred tool for expert users.
We do not expect BusyBoy to be popular among video professionals, but rather new users, intermediate users and high-level amateurs.
We require a logo to represent the BusyBoy application in numerous places including the program interface, the OS X dock and the BusyBoy web site. The logo can contain gradients and such but non-gradient and black/white versions of the logo are also required. The logo will consist of an icon as well as the text 'BusyBoy'.
Final deliverable will include Native Illustrator files and any fonts used in the creation of the logo.
We are excited to see artistic license in this contest, but consider the "busy" in BusyBoy as an important design concept (the 'busy' part comes from the multi-core processor support that makes BusyBoy so fast!).
Also, we do not want any inverted letters or any punctuation. Icons consisting of "discs" (as in a DVD disc for example) are also not desired.
Finally, please note the lack of punctuation and spelling of the brand name (which is one word): BusyBoy

Khloe Kardashian called off her divorce to Lamar Odom—but not for romantic reasons.
Odom faces a long road to recovery and in a legal sense, Khloe is able to support him and help with medical decisions if they're still technically married. But as the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star explained, getting back together isn't even something they're considering at this point in time. Also, Kardashian and boyfriend James Harden are 100 percent still together.
During an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" airing Monday, Kardashian acknowledged this is all "definitely a very unique situation, to say the least."
U.S. & World
But Kardashian has "always loved" Odom, she said, "and that will never change"—even if she's seeing someone else romantically. Plus, she added, "I just feel like its a really insensitive thing to fast forward a divorce."
"I love him, and I always will," she tells DeGeneres, "and he's a fantastic person who deserves support and love and for someone to be by his side and for me I'm that to him. And thank God I have a fantastic family who loves me and loves him just as much. And they're so supportive and they're with me and I have a great boyfriend who's understanding."
Kardashian added jokingly, "I'm just gonna say I'm like part of Polygamy right now! I have a husband. I have a boyfriend. That's a way easier thing to say, right?"
DeGeneres laughingly agreed, but then she realized she couldn't give Kardashian the title just yet. "No, but I think that's many husbands, isn't it?" she asked. "So you're not really a polygamist."
"Oh," said Kardashian, "I'm not there yet!"
"No," DeGeneres answered. "You'd have to marry your boyfriend in order to be a polygamist."

text: Hello, I'm not sure if it's a ISPConfig related issue, but you'll tell me. My server is a Debian 6 installation more or less conform to Falko's perfect server tutorial. ISPConfig is 2.2.35. My /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd files got corrupted, root account included. I fortunately managed to recover things (short night), but would like to have a hint of what happened. Just before everything got down, I was configuring things on a domain name I registered but never used before : http://c-est.la It is the first domain I configure which is not "standard" (not .fr, .com, .net or .org). I noticed that my shadow file was truncated just before the users related to that domain. May ISPConfig have messed up the file because of the unusual domain name ? Thanks for reading and waiting for the wisdom of the power users around here.

Item Description
Letter, A. H. Reeder to J. A. Halderman
Author: Reeder, Andrew H. (Andrew Horatio), 1807-1864
Date: January 9, 1857
From the National Hotel in Washington, Andrew Reeder wrote to advise Halderman on the disposition of some business matters, especially those related to his Leavenworth lots. He went on to comment on a variety of subjects, including his desire "to return to Kansas in the spring" and to have some long-term impact on the growth and development of Leavenworth. Reeder also mentioned his influence with "some of the men who will probably control the Pacific [Rail] Road when it is built," his desire to help Leavenworth secure the eastern Kansas terminus, and his activity with the National Kansas Committee. Although he had no interest in the rival town of Quindaro, he intended to "help build up" that city if he were not "fairly dealt with" in Leavenworth.

Sarah Goodyear
Sarah Goodyear is a Brooklyn-based contributing writer to CityLab. She's written about cities for a variety of publications, including Grist and Streetsblog.
Heading to a movie theater on Christmas Day has become a tradition for many American families, and Hollywood has responded by loading the holiday with big releases.
But if you're a resident of Jackson, Mississippi, you would have had to leave the city limits to catch the opening of Django Unchained or Les Misérables. There hasn't been a movie theater in the state's capital since the 20th century. The last of the city's theaters closed, with a whimper, in the late 1990s.
The lack of a movie theater may not seem like such a big deal when many urban centers struggle to attract more obvious necessities, such as grocery stores or people. But municipal officials in Jackson feel the lack keenly enough that they have been working to recruit a theater since 2009, according to the local Clarion-Ledger newspaper – so far, without success. The city's leaders are now talking about maybe using grants or tax incentives to attract a new theater to Jackson, or maybe reopening the old Pix/Capri theater as an art house.
The cinematic void in Mississippi's largest city, which has a population of more than 175,000 people, reflects deeper demographic trends in the area, according to the article:
"The fact that there are no longer any movie houses within the corporate limits of Jackson reflects white flight to the suburbs, the convenience of suburban theaters in Rankin and Madison counties, and the continuing fear of crime in Jackson," said Jerry Dallas, a retired history professor at Delta State University who grew up in Jackson and graduated from Provine High School in 1959.
Dallas has done his research. His fascinating paper "Movie Theaters in Twentieth-Century Jackson" is posted at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History [PDF]. In it, he documents how the increasing tension over racial segregation and negative depictions of Mississippi in the 1950s and '60s unfolded in the city's dozen movie theaters (which were themselves segregated), including the Royal Music Hall, a white theater:
On the eve of the Royal's demise [in 1959] its manager, George Pollitz, complained that "clandestine" City Hall racial censorship denied Jackson access to some current top movies. The Royal had scheduled and advertised Kings Go Forth, a movie depicting a romance between a white man and a mulatto, but because of official pressure, about which Mayor [Allen] Thompson claimed to know nothing, it had to be cancelled. Other theater managers, although requesting anonymity lest they be branded as "integrationists" confirmed Pollitz's grievance and stated that they too had been pressured by city officials not to offer movies showing racial integration. One recalled that before the 1954 Supreme Court integration decision the film "Pinky" played in Jackson without incident, but he "couldn't touch that movie with a ten-foot pole now." Yet another reported that while theaters all over the country were clamoring for The Defiant Ones with Tony Curtis and black star Sidney Poitier, there were no plans to book it for Jackson because its presentation wouldn't be allowed.
The disappearance of movie theaters from the city's core and their entrenchment in the surrounding suburbs is just one aspect of the hollowing-out that has been a problem for Jackson, and so many other cities, for generations now. It's significant that even today, with more and more people watching movies at home, people feel an emptiness where the theaters once were. From the Clarion-Ledger article:
Bennie Hopkins, director of Planning and Development for the city of Jackson, said it's a topic frequently talked about in his office "because we hear our clients and constituents asking why we don't have a theater."
Movie theaters may not be quite as important to the vitality of an urban core as healthy food, or decent bars, or coffee shops. But they do serve a purpose, and in a city with a long history of social division, they could be a great place for people to come together.
Will Jackson residents ever be able to spend Christmas sitting rapt in a hometown theater, clutching their popcorn as the Hollywood narratives unspool on the big screen? The ending to this story has yet to play out.

A 10-year-old hacker who goes by the handle CyFi has an "important lesson" that mobile phone app makers can "learn from a Girl Scout." She's found a way to cheat Android and iOS games on smartphones and tablets using a common console and PC video game exploit: the clock.
CyFi (not to be confused with DVICE's parent company, Syfy), seen above in sweet shades, discovered the loophole because of some good ol' fashioned boredom. While playing farming games and other Android and iOS titles — she isn't releasing the names of what's what to give developers time to fix the vulnerability — CyFi found herself wishing certain tasks didn't take as long. Now, simply changing the clock a great deal won't work — app makers thought of that much, and will detect such tomfoolery.
To get around this, CyFi found that if she changed the clock in small increments instead, or disconnected a device (from a network, we think, but it's unclear), she could time travel in the game she was playing. She calls this creation a "zero day."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Change of time can have any number of effects. In games such as Animal Crossing on the Nintendo DS, for instance, changing the handheld's clock would mean you'd come back to fully grown trees and crops (and, usually, weeds). Similarly, advancing the Xbox 360's clock while playing Fable 2 famously allowed players to rack up huge bank accounts, as the game allows you to collect rent from real estate you own even when the console is turned off.
CyFi's discovered exploit isn't the end of the world for iOS or Android games, but a lot of these titles do have a social component, and it could open up a whole new avenue for cheaters. It's also impressive not only given her young age, but that she found a vulnerability before mobile developers could.
CyFi presented her finding — though not all the details, so that the exploit wouldn't be, y'know, exploited — at DefCon Kids, a freshly-minted offshoot of DEFCON, the "world's longest running and largest underground hacking conference" held annually in Las Vegas. Her presentation was called "Apps — A Traveler of Both Time and Space (And What I Learned About Zero-Days and Responsible Disclosure)," in which she wrote the following:
The world of apps has obvious[ly] not thought about security, yet. Here is an import[ant] lesson they can learn from a Girl Scout. I'll show a new class of vulnerabilities I call TimeTraveler.
By controlling time, you can do many things, such as grow pum[p]kins instantly. This technique enables endless possibilities. I'll show you how. Wanna play a game? Let's find some zero-days! (Cuz it's fun!)

NH firefighters battle 5 alarm blaze in Strafford that destroyed duplex
STRAFFORD, N.H. (AP) � New Hampshire firefighters are battling a blaze in Strafford that has reportedly destroyed a duplex.
Firefighters were first called to the structure on Crown Point Road at about 5 a.m. Monday.
No injuries have been reported.
Foster's Daily Democrat (http://bit.ly/Y2f2ml) says the building has been leveled.
Efforts to fight the fire have been hampered by a lack of water and the cold, windy weather.
