Mornin’ Gang -
No sooner did a team of bewildered deliverymen roll the 250-pound device into a conference room near Appel’s cramped, third-floor office than the professor set to work. He summoned a graduate student named Alex Halderman, who could pick the machine’s lock in seven seconds. Clutching a screwdriver, he deftly wedged out the four ROM chips—they weren’t soldered into the circuit board, as sense might dictate—making it simple to replace them with one of his own: A version of modified firmware that could throw off the machine’s results, subtly altering the tally of votes, never to betray a hint to the voter. The attack was concluded in minutes.
and this,
Beginning in the late ’90s, Appel and his colleague, Ed Felten, a pioneer in computer engineering now serving in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, marshaled their Princeton students together at the Center for Information Technology Policy (where Felten is still director). There, they relentlessly hacked one voting machine after another, transforming the center into a kind of Hall of Fame for tech mediocrity: reprogramming one popular machine to play Pac-Man; infecting popular models with self-duplicating malware; discovering keys to voting machine locks that could be ordered on eBay. Eventually, the work of the professors and Ph.D. students grew into a singular conviction: It was only a matter of time, they feared, before a national election—an irresistible target—would invite an attempt at a coordinated cyberattack.
and,
The Princeton group has a simple message: That the machines that Americans use at the polls are less secure than the iPhones they use to navigate their way there. They’ve seen the skeletons of code inside electronic voting’s digital closet, and they’ve mastered the equipment’s vulnerabilities perhaps better than anyone (a contention the voting machine companies contest, of course). They insist the elections could be vulnerable at myriad strike points, among them the software that aggregates the precinct vote totals, and the voter registration rolls that are increasingly digitized. But the threat, the cyber experts say, starts with the machines that tally the votes and crucially keep a record of them—or, in some cases, don’t.

“Get them. Make it fast.”
In the chaotic last days of the Second World War, Gen. George Patton’s terse command set off a remarkable secret mission to save a group of priceless stallions and brood mares kidnapped on the orders of Adolf Hitler.
The directive might have appeared foolhardy and risky to an outsider but not to the small group of American and German soldiers who put their hostilities aside, desperate to save the world’s most valuable equine prisoners of war, which were being held deep inside enemy lines in occupied Czechoslovakia.
Minutes after Patton’s order, Hank Reed, a Virginia horseman who was the commanding officer of the Second Cavalry in Europe, dispatched one of his soldiers, an accomplished rider from Tennessee, to team up with a Nazi veterinarian.

From Jim Hightower;
When I see Trump lawn signs, I feel bad for the grass that has to grow in their shadow.
But I also see something else, something a lot more hopeful: Bernie’s revolution still rumbling. And I know that if those of us who unified behind Bernie now stand united against Trump’s hate, I believe deeply that—together—we can transform this country.
That’s exactly what MoveOn has set out to do. They’re executing a smart, effective plan to resoundingly defeat Trump, reject his politics of hate, turn out progressive voters in swing states, take back the Senate, and build grassroots leadership to push forward a wave of transformative ideas that will turn Congress upside down this fall—and beyond.Who knew that the old communist Ba$tard was still around, his short lived radio show went away 20 years ago.

A long and detailed article very much well worth reading. Advise nursing a cup of coffee or tea while doing so, just make sure it’s parked far away from the keyboard.

Locally here in New Jersey, there have been news reports about thieves driving up to closed gas stations, opening the gas pump cabinets* and installing blue tooth activated data readers. They then sit across the street and record debit and credit card info as people are buying fuel. The station owners have no idea.
All the people at both banks we do business with have told me no one in the bank buys gas with anything but cash. They don’t even use oil company credit cards. They said, hands down, the biggest problem they see with data theft originates in gas stations.
*A lot of these of fuel pumps only have one of the typical barrel key locks like the ones used on vending machines. Easy to find keys for those. -

If I were in the voting machine business, I would take all my product prototypes to Professor Appel at Princeton and pay to have his students hack away at them. Until I could produce a machine they couldn’t compromise, I wouldn’t offer it to my customers.
The fact these manufacturers don’t do that makes me very skeptical about their competence. -
10 cont’d.
A couple of the area fuel pump service companies have started doing inspections on all their customers’ pumps and then applying a large visible sticker type seal on the cabinet door so if a thief breaks in, the seal will be obviously broken. -
British tourist killed at a hostel in Australia by a Frenchman yelling “Allahu akbar” has been named as Mia Ayliffe-Chung.
The 21-year-old studied psychology and childcare before travelling to Surfers Paradise, in the state of Queensland, and working as a nightclub waitress.Police seem puzzled about the motive, of course.
A 46-year-old Australian man, who attempted to intervene, was also stabbed in the leg but his injuries were not deemed to be life threatening and he has since been released from hospital.
The terrorist also stabbed a dog to death, reported variously as one who lived on the property or as a police dog.
She was a stunningly beautiful girl. -

Great story, first told in ther Disney movie Miracle Of The White Stallions in 1963. Seeing Robert Montgomery as the German officer who is the hero of the movie kinda threw 10 year old me off a bit at the time.
Two other books have recently been written, one adapted into a new movie coming out in December. -
Mr. Hill was 44 and a veteran stage and television actor in 1966 when he was cast as Daniel Briggs, the leader of an elite covert-operations unit, in the new series “Mission: Impossible.” But he left after the first season, paving the way for Peter Graves’s six-season run as the show’s lead.
and,
In a 1996 interview with The Washington Post, Dick Wolf, the creator of “Law & Order,” called Mr. Hill “the Talmudic influence on the entire zeitgeist of the series.”
“Steven has more moral authority than anyone else on episodic TV,” Mr. Wolf said.My rabbi said when Law and Order was filming episodes, Steven Hill lived in Teaneck, a town a few minutes from here. He would go each night after working and sit alone in a local kosher cafe and eat a late night meal alone there so one always knew when the show was in production.

The ease at which voting machines are hacked, and the lack of interest in doing anything about it, is just another indication that the system is rigged and that the final outcome is decided somewhere other than the polling place. As a citizen, it is my right to assist in the election of someone who is expected to represent my interests; but if I don’t care, then my interests may or may not wind up being represented. Anyway, this year more that ever has exposed the establishment, both D and R, for what it is, and the little people may go through the motions but don’t expect the results to matter to anyone.

The lovely Andrea Tantaros is suing Roger Ailes and Fox news for sexual harassment.

IIRC, Emporer Palatine, aka George Soros, owns the company that manufactures the voting machines we’re using in our elections.
But I’m not worried. Not at all.

Left wing nutbaggery on full display
HEADLINE: ‘Lunacy’: Experts slam city’s Staten Island deer vasectomy plan
CITY HALL — Experts think the city would be nuts to sterilize male deer to control Staten Island’s growing herd.
“It’s difficult for me to come up with all the reasons why this is a really stupid plan,” said Bernd Blossey, a ecologist at Cornell University who consulted City Hall on deer management strategies in November. “It’s ridiculous from the onset.”
Several wildlife experts said the plan won’t work because the city is ignoring basic deer biology and conventional herd management practices, not to mention past attempts.
“This plan has very low likelihood of success,” said Paul Curtis, another ecologist at Cornell who was part of the city’s interagency deer task force. A few bucks in Ithaca, N.Y. were given vasectomies as part of a multi-year study on deer controls in and around the campus there.
“We could only do three vasectomies — it wasn’t safe for the deer and wasn’t safe for us,” Curtis said.Yes, you read that correctly, the idjits in NY want to perform vasectomies on the bucks of the deer herd on Staten Island in order to control the population. The cost is exorbitant on a per deer basis and the likelihood that enough bucks will be snipped to make a difference is extremely low. The left wingers simply can not come to grips with the simple solution of letting the hunters solve the problem and letting them pay for the privilege. I really despise left wingers.

This book is a must have at our house.
On our trip in May we visited the Royal Spanish Equestrian Academy outside Seville, home of the breeding and training of the Spanish national horses, the Andalusians. This facility predates the Spanish Riding School in Vienna by many years and is the source of the foundation stock of the Lipizzaner horses who star in that world-renowned Austrian showplace.
The many Arabians also rescued by Patton had been stolen from various important stud farms in Nazi-occupied Europe, in particular from Poland. Ummm, the Russians also swiped some from Poland along the way. Several of the Polish evacuees have been especially important in American Arabian bloodlines, most notably the stallion Witez II. His influence was a great complement to the incomparable Polish-bred stallion Skowronek owned by Lady Judith Wentworth in the 1920s for her Crabbet Park Stud in Sussex, England. Both have had tremendous influence in American Arabian breeding for decades if you are looking for the “old, good stuff.” -
Cornell already tried this plan, but it seems that when the does are not fertilized, they go back into heat every month until they are. The net effect is that it draws more bucks to the area and increases the herd size. Thinning the herd is the only solution.
-
Ima try to get my front yard mowed before the rains reach us.
-
Me too, but according to the weather man, I’ve got until Friday.
-
Thinning the herd is the only solution.
Not to mention that it is a tasty solution and that there will be lots of volunteers who will pay for the privilege.
Never expect a nutbag liberal to do something that will generate money while solving a problem when they could just as easily spend a pant-load of money and not solve anything. . . . . -
And now from the City of Weird, we have this:
HEADLINE: UT-Austin students snatch up free dildos for gun protest
AUSTIN – Students, alumni and spectators eagerly snatched up more than 4,500 donated dildos Tuesday evening at the University of Texas at Austin, preparing to assuage their frustration over a new state law allowing handguns to be carried on public university campuses.
Cocks Not Glocks, a protest group formed last fall, is urging students and others to openly carry the sex toys around campus, offering a multicolored counterpoint to the concealed weapons that holders of handgun licenses can now legally carry inside UT classrooms and most buildings.You just can’t make this stuff up. Is there any way that we could beam Austin into outer space or maybe to the surface of the sun?
-
If they gave away free tin foil hats in Austin people would take them. Magic word for liberals is “free” doesn’t matter what it is. Anyway, a bunch of UT students walking with dildos hanging off of them somewhere would merely confirm what most of us already know – they are just a bunch of dixxs.
-
I’m assuming a large amount of class absenteeism, now that the sex toys have been handed out.
-
Yep, those new students will be getting some kind of education. . . . .

Regarding those dogs, something about the poorly written account from the witnesses suggested to me the man might have fallen down, maybe a stroke or something, and then the dogs went through or under the fence to get him. Hope there is enough of the body left for an accurate post mortem cause-of-death. Hate to see dogs blamed for killing him if they didn’t do it.
Regarding the hole in the fence, after my experience the last several years with 2 neighbors, of the 3 that I share fence-lines with, having grown sons return home with giant dogs — Giant dogs can dismantle a fence in no time flat. -

I was listening to Rush while I worked outside, and heard an audio they made of a hypothetical appointment phone number that Hils might have used while SecState. The voices of Hils and Bubba were dead-on. One menu listed what you could get for various donation levels. Starting at $5K puts you on the Clintons’ Christmas card list, and on up to $10M to the Foundation gets you an actual sit-down meeting with Hillary.

The American University of Afghanistan in the capital Kabul came under attack by militants on Wednesday night after a huge explosion rocked the campus and gunmen opened fire.
Hundreds of students and American faculty staff were left trapped, an interior ministry official said, with many taking to social media to plead for help.
A huge plume of smoke was seen rising above the fortified campus as elite Afghan forces backed by American military observers surrounded the university compound and battled the terrorists.
Several gunmen, some wearing suicide vests, were involved in the attack which began at 9.30am (ET) in the western suburbs of Kabul, the official said.
A health ministry official said at least 14 people had been injured, while many inside managed to escape the onslaught of gunfire by rushing through emergency exits.
Teachers and students still inside the university sheltered in place while security forces moved slowly through the campus buildings to clear them while witnesses reported militants threw grenades at them. -

Just ordered The Perfect Horse. Once ordered you can click on an offer to start reading it, at least the front matter and contents and first chapter for free while you wait for your book to be delivered.
The book reviews by ordinary readers are right on: a riveting story for horse lovers or WWII history lovers or both combined. The author’s description of the special unspoken communication between horse and rider is so well done. It is a relationship only slightly less than a marriage in which each knows what the other is thinking. If you’re lucky, it happens once or twice in a lifetime of riding. -

Good sized thunderstorm moving into North Houston. I heard thunder and checked the weather radar, was surprised to see it. I had left my 75′ extension cord out on the lawn, so hurried out to get it. Got some light raindrops as I did so. Refreshing!

For a day that started out with a small chance for rain things have gotten active in east and north Houston and radar shows one red spot in east Fort Bend County. Nothing much here but some crackling on the radio, though we do have a view of really impressive clouds north and east.

But the Rev. Thomas Reese sure noticed when the Democratic Party’s initial platform proposed the latter phrase instead of the former.
“Freedom of religion” is considered “the more expansive term,” the Catholic priest writes in the National Catholic Reporter. “It includes worship but also the right of believers to evangelize, change their religion, have schools and charitable institutions, and participate in the public square.”
Some states and societies “tolerate religious minorities as long as they confine themselves to their places of worship and don’t go out into society,” writes Reese, speaking for himself, not as chairman of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. “But if they try to convert someone, if anyone switches from the dominant religion to another, or if they speak out on public issues, they will feel the full force of the government and society down on their heads.”(snip)
Seeing the term “freedom to worship and believe” in the platform as a “political land mine,” Reese contacted a friend with the party drafting committee and it was changed to “freedom of religion.”
For Latter-day Saints, this is no small matter. Mormon apostles speak often of religious freedom, conferences are organized to discuss it, and members are reminded of it frequently.
Now, the Utah-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is working to construct a website focused on religious freedom, with explanations, descriptions of laws and cases, and links to important documents.
Until the faith’s page is launched, interested Mormons are directed to a site, produced by LDS Church-owned Brigham Young University’s law school, on the topic.
“The tide of public opinion in favor of religion is receding,” apostle Dallin H. Oaks said in a 2009 speech quoted on the site, “and this probably portends public pressures for laws that will impinge on religious freedom.”http://www.sltrib.com/lifestyle/faith/4271585-155/freedom-of-religion-isnt-same-as?ref=yfp

Pursuant to Darren’s #54 comment.
The Atlantic on Pew:There were at least three fascinating tidbits tucked into the results of the survey. First, people who report going to worship services less frequently now than they used to overwhelmingly say the logistics of getting there are the biggest obstacle. Second, a significant number of people who said they’re not part of any particular religion expressed mistrust of religious institutions, suggesting these organizations’ reputations have something to do with why people are dropping out of public religious participation.
Finally, and perhaps most interestingly, the country seems to be split in half in terms of how often people get to services. Roughly 51 percent of Americans say they go to church or another worship service somewhere between once a month and multiple times per week, while 49 percent said they go rarely or never. But within that 51 percent, more than half of people said they go more often than they used to—in other words, about quarter of Americans have gotten more active in their religious communities in recent years, not less.Last year, the Baptist ethicist David Gushee was quoted by gay New York Times columnist Frank Bruni as saying that “Conservative Christian religion is the last bulwark against full acceptance of L.G.B.T. people.” Gushee has fully embraced gay rights, and doesn’t simply tolerate gay relationships, but affirms their goodness. Now he has written an extraordinarily important column laying out the future for Christians who reject the Sexual Revolution in its latest form.
and,
This is a time of testing. It will cost you to remain faithful. If you are not preparing for this now (or, if you’re a pastor, preparing your congregation for this), you are behaving foolishly. As Gushee says, “The issue will come and find you.” One of the hardest things that dissidents will face is that when the Thought Police show up at the door, church people like David Gushee will proudly say, “They’re in the basement, officer.”
I keep warning the Jews here that if they don’t start standing up for Christians, they’re going to come for you next, or maybe first.

Excellent. Give us a review in your own inimitable style. -
Since no one seems to know of Duluth’s underwear and their goofy commercials I’m worried my viewing habits must be off course from everyone else’s.
I’ve actually bought some stuff from Duluth. I got a pair of their fire hose pants, but Hubby didn’t wear them enough to see if their toughness was as advertised. I bought a storm whistle from them. I think you could really hear that thing in a hurricane. Seriously – I have to hold my ears when I blow it. I use it for my youth retreats, to call the students in from all corners of the church campus during their ‘alone’ time with Scripture. If I don’t block my ears, I go temporarily deaf.
So if you need a loud whistle, there ya’ go. -
I wonder if the American University of Afghanistan students are wearing dildos on their backpacks this week.

But I still had to remove ads for the Party Which Shall Not Be Named. -
I was eating a late supper in my tv room, with windows that look out on the street. Around 7 I noticed just about everyone on my block traipsing out with their dogs on leash. 5 minutes later, I saw people rushing back in the directions they had started out from. 2 minutes after that, I heard a whooshing sound that caused me to mute the tv speaker so I could hear what that might be. It was an absolute downpour, coming straight down, no wind flurries throwing rain at the windows.
It didn’t last long, and by the time I had finished my meal and my show, a couple of those walkers had ventured out again. -

Hubby has a car show this weekend. He just called me to ask if I knew where his alarm clock was. Nope. Did I have an alarm clock he could use?
Okay, my options here are:
1) Give him the one I’m using now. It’s a PITA to program, and as soon as it’s unplugged, that’s what it needs. Hubby has a hard time consistently using the TV remote and not hitting a wrong button.
2) Give him my very, very favorite little travel alarm clock. It has functions on it that I can’t find on other clocks. It’s been with me since I was a kid. I almost went into mourning when I thought it had died.
3) Give him the clock/radio I’ve moved into the bathroom. It was relegated to bathroom duty because I use the radio while I’m showering, and it was replaced by the clock in item #1. It sets the time automatically, and the alarm is super easy to set. Unfortunately, when it sets the time, it’s off by two hours and change, and there’s no way to manually set it. He’d have to figure out how to off-set the alarm time to make it usable.
3a) See the last sentence on item #1.
Given his history on returning items – either in good condition but very delayed, or in an altered condition – I hesitated, thinking about the choices, and said, “Not one that works.”
He blew out an exasperated sigh. I had a thought and told him he probably had an alarm built into the clock function on his phone. (Before you imagine his response, please realize that he only recently acquired a smart phone, and it took him months to get comfortable with text messages. He had us (me and office help) download the pictures he took at job sites for him. I showed him several times how to email them to the office, if necessary. He still doesn’t understand that process.)
His response was a very dejected sounding “I don’t know how to do that, Tedtam. I just don’t know.”
My guess is….he’s going to a store right now. -

Re: earthquake in Italy
I am reminded of my trip to Italy/Sicily in 2007 with Lovely Daughter. We were taken on a tour of the old town of Poggioreale, where Grandpa lived as a child before emigrating to America. We walked down those lanes, with fig trees growing in the walls. One of my favorite photos is of an open door, where you can see the stairs going up. I could imagine the women talking and calling to each other from home to home during the day. In the evening, young couples would join the evening passagiata, and the old folks would nod and smile at them. Little children would run and play on the Plaza Emilio, as the shadow of the bell tower from the madre duomo would bring a coolness to the atmosphere. Something about those empty, silent stairs brings those images to mind, and I mourn softly for something I’ve never known and people I’ve never met.
Poggioreale, Salaparuta, and Gibelina were three towns that were destroyed in an earthquake. The government built replacement villages for those people. I heard stories about how the villagers slept in the fields for 3 nights, because they feared the aftershocks would bring down the weakened buildings on their heads. They were eventually housed in some temporary military barracks, until the new villages were in place.
One of the things we saw while there was a memorial that stood in the middle of a 3 way intersection between the villages. On it was the name of all the families that lost loved ones in the earthquake. I looked for my family name, but didn’t see it listed. There were plenty of others, though. The quake took a good many good people.
My heart goes out to the victims of this event. May it bring the survivors closer together. Life is fragile. Hug your loved ones. -
I was glad to hear on the radio while doing my stationary bike exercises, that the escaped cobra was caught alive and returned to its barn in Needville. I was pretty pessimistic that it would survive its recovery attempt.

Well, I rolled into the parking lot at my old building this morning and there were 8 ladies and one Lil’ Bambi waiting on me. I’m pretty sure that I’ve not seen this Bambi before, as he had lost almost all of his spots and was 2/3 the size of mom. He must have been born real early.

Good Thursday morning Hamsters. Comfortable 73 out here on the moors of the Brazos with plenty of ground mist. Less than a month until the autumnal equinox, by which time I hope we’ve already had a cold front that made it all the way down here.
School bus comes to pick up a neighbor child just about the time I’m fetching the Chron after feeding the mares, usually around 6:20. Still pitch dark at that hour and too early for a grade-school age child to be waiting at the end of his driveway for the bus. We’re at the start of the route apparently. -
Thursday OC is posted.
