text: Trichoepithelioma is composed of nests of basaloid cells with horn cysts lying in the dermis. The tumor cells have minimal cytoplasm, large hyperchromatic nuclei and show peripheral palisading. The appearance is reminiscent of basal cell carcinoma. The overlying epidermis may be normal, hyperkeratotic or thinned with loss of rete ridges. The tumor lobules are invested by a sheath of dense fibrous connective tissue. Another frequently seen feature is the formation of dense round or oval aggregates of fibroblastic cells referred to as papillary mesenchymal body. The papillary mesenchymal body may indent into the lobules of basaloid cells. The absence of this feature in basal cell carcinoma is a helpful distinguishing feature. Uncommonly seen features include ulceration of overlying epidermis, foreign body giant cell reaction to keratin, calcification, and amyloid deposits. Trichoepitheliomas arising in extra-facial sites are likely to be well-circumscribed, show little or no keratin cyst formation and composed of irregularly shaped lobules of basaloid cells in a background of dense connective tissue.

UT - MUO Merger
The University of Toledo and the Medical University of Ohio merged July 1, 2006, to form the third-largest public university operating budget in the state.
House Bill 478 was signed on March 31, 2006, by Gov. Bob Taft, creating a university built around eleven academic colleges and professional programs matched only by a handful of public universities nationwide, including Ohio State University and the University of Michigan.
UT's main campus, located along the banks of the Ottawa River in a residential section of the city, includes historic buildings, modern facilities, contemporary residence halls and lots of green space.
The University of Toledo Health Science Campus is home to UT Medical Center hospitals and clinics and many of UT's health-science research and education programs that are teaching the next generation of physicians, nurses and other health care professionals.
Ten years later, watch as The University of Toledo, government and community leaders discuss how the merger resulted in stronger academic and research opportunities for faculty and students:

I'm feeling guilty about not posting too often last week. I was really on a roll this month, but things should pick up later this week as I head off to the LOEX conference tomorrow.
I spent last week running between teaching classes in the morning and working on my LOEX presentation (I wanted to thank Diana again for the help with the layout). Even this weekend I spent most of my time finalizing my poster, updating my resume and playing with my kids. With LOEX coming this week and some summer projects on the horizon, I hope you will stick around.

Dwyane Wade is limping around in obvious pain. LeBron James' shooting percentage is down. Shane Battier and Ray Allen have struggled to get anything going from 3-point range.
The Eastern Conference semifinals have been far from perfect for the Miami Heat.
And the reigning NBA champions are now in absolute control of this series nonetheless.
Dwyane Wade is limping around in obvious pain. LeBron James' shooting percentage is down. Shane Battier and Ray Allen have struggled to get anything going from 3-point range.
The Eastern Conference semifinals have been far from perfect for the Miami Heat.
And the reigning NBA champions are now in absolute control of this series nonetheless.
Barely a week ago, there was so much talk about how the Chicago Bulls had Miami's number like no other team. That seems long forgotten now, after three straight wins — by an average of 23.3 points — have the Heat one win away from returning to the East finals. Up 3-1 in the series, the Heat will try to close out the Bulls in Game 5 at Miami on Wednesday night.
"You have to have a high-character team," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Tuesday, a few hours after his team returned from Chicago after an 88-65 rout in Game 4 of the suddenly one-sided series. "You have to have a team that's built strong habits ... not to take games for granted. Our guys have built up habits. They also have built up perspective that, boy, these close-out games have been the toughest ones."
When Miami gets a chance to finish off an opponent, it typically doesn't waste any time. Since James, Wade and Chris Bosh joined up, the Heat are 8-2 in games where they can clinch a series, winning each of their last five by double figures.
Given the way this series is going, it's not hard to envision Wednesday ending the same way.
"Got to take care of business," Bosh said.
The Bulls outscored the Heat in Game 1, tried to outmuscle them in Games 2 and 3, and then simply looked outmanned in Game 4. Derrick Rose has been gone all season, Kirk Hinrich hasn't played since logging 60 minutes in Chicago's triple-overtime Game 4 against Brooklyn in the opening round, and Luol Deng is still dealing with the effects of a nasty bout of illness.
On Wednesday, the Bulls shot less than 26 percent, scored nine points in the third quarter and saw Nate Robinson — Chicago's best offensive weapon in these playoffs — take 12 shots and miss them all.
"Nobody said this was going to be easy," Robinson said. "We're professionals for a reason. We'll go back to the drawing board and figure it out."
They better figure it out in a hurry.
In a series where Wade — averaging just 11.3 points in the four games — has been limited by continued issues with the bone bruises in his right knee, where James' shooting is down more than 10 percent from his regular-season pace and Battier and Allen have combined to go 9 for 34 from beyond the 3-point arc, Miami has been rolling along anyway.
"You analyze what happened in the game, make your corrections, get ready for the next one. We'll just keep our focus right there," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said. "I don't want them looking backwards. I don't want them looking ahead. Just lock into the game that's in front of us and concentrate on winning that game. We know we're capable."
There are many battles for the Bulls to face right now, all of them being of the uphill variety. No team has ever won four games at Miami in the same season, which Chicago would have to do to pull off this most improbable of comeback bids. There's the emotional toll that losing three straight games has taken, frustration over how injuries and illness depleted the roster, and it's a fair question to ask how much the Bulls might have left in their proverbial tank.
"I think we've got enough energy left," Bulls forward Taj Gibson said. "We just need guys to come back and play. We've got some guys banged up. But we'll just keep playing. We'll just keep playing. There's no excuses out there."
Added center Joakim Noah: "We're still alive. There's still basketball to be played, and we've got to fight."
Wade is doing plenty of fighting on his own.
He was briefly sent to the bench in the second quarter of Game 4 after an inadvertent knee-to-knee collision with Chicago's Jimmy Butler caught him in one of the more tender spots on the bruised joint. He returned, was scoreless for just the seventh time in a first half in his career, and finished with only six points.
The Heat have outscored the Bulls by 49 points with Wade on the floor in this series, tied with Battier for the best plus-minus on the team.
"Dwyane has proven himself as a warrior," Spoelstra said. "He's helping us win."
Wade has just 31 points in the last three games. Miami has won those games by a combined 70 points, and if they win Game 5 on Wednesday, the Heat would get possibly another full week off to allow Wade time to rest that knee.
The East finals aren't scheduled to start until May 20 or May 22.
"It's just frustrating at times, but just try to do what you can," Wade said. "Sometimes it feels good, sometimes it doesn't. You can't predict it."
Regardless of Wade's health issues, Miami is anxious to clear the Chicago hurdle. The Bulls nearly wasted a 3-1 lead in the first round against Brooklyn, advancing by winning a Game 7 on the road. And Spoelstra is leery of giving Chicago any glimmer of hope.
"We have to go in with the mindset to really approach this with desperation and urgency," Spoelstra said. "You don't want to give this team second life. They're far too dangerous for that type of mentality because they just continue to grind and they compete, and we know that. We respect that."

In the lead up to a big game, professional athletes visualize success, double-check their equipment or listen to a favorite song on their headphones – all before heading into competition. The minutes before you leave your house for that big job interview might not contain the same level of intensity, but mental preparation can still mean the difference between victory (getting the job) and defeat (back to the classifieds).
Experts recommend that job hunters visualize in their minds how the interview will go. A little edginess before an interview can be helpful if it makes you alert and energized, but too much anxiety can be disastrous. Practicing deep breathing or repeating a tranquil word like "calm" are popular methods people use to get themselves ready for a tense situation. And, again, mental preparation well in advance of an interview is key.
To gain confidence, executive coaches advise you write down several of your greatest accomplishments and then list the skills you used to achieve them. If you know your skills and how you make a difference, it will be easier to talk about them in an interview setting.
The same logic applies to your weaknesses. Long before the day of the interview, candidates should think of solid answers to three questions they don't want to be asked. Write them down if you have to and go over them several times. This will go a long way toward relieving anxiety.
And what about everyone's most hated question – how old are you? Most interviewers are savvy enough to know it's illegal to directly ask, but often you'll get a question such as, "What year did you graduate from college?" that indirectly probes at your age. If you tell the truth, the interviewer then knows your age and may not want to hire you because of it. If you say you don't want to answer the question, you could come across poorly and may make the interviewer uncomfortable.
Here's how you can finesse the situation. First, assume the interviewer doesn't have ulterior motives. Instead, figure that he or she is trying to learn something, albeit clumsily, about your ability to do the job. So listen to the question, then ask your own question in return to determine the interviewer's underlying agenda.
For instance, you could respond, "I'm curious to know why you are asking me this. Are you worried that my skills might be out of date?" or "That's an interesting question. Are you probing to learn about the applicability of my skills or my course work?" The interviewer should then respond with the reason for the question, which allows you to say something good about yourself. Frame your response as a showcase of what you've learned and prove that your training is current.
Pre-interview assessment tests are another source of anxiety – or annoyance – for many heading into an interview. Candidates should take the assessments seriously, even if they feel they aren't necessary. And clear your schedule. Ask recruiters about how long a pre-employment assessment might take, as you may need to devote anywhere from a few minutes to several hours of your time. You can also familiarize yourself with pre-employment assessments by taking free ones on the Web, such as eTest Inc., a pre-employment testing and assessment company in Atlanta. Practice tests can help you feel more comfortable for when it's your turn in the hot seat.
Knowing you look your best for an interview creates confidence as well. Be sure to get that suit pressed well in advance of the big day, break in your shoes and don't go overboard with flashy accessories or designer touches. Feeling rushed or worrying you might be late can throw off your mojo, too, so it's a good idea to give yourself more travel time than you think you need.
Overall, before a big interview, psychological and career experts agree that it's important to focus on the positive. The bottom line? Always think about, talk about, and practice exactly what you want to happen.

P: Brussel sprouts, I have no experience.
S: Umm....Yeah, exactly like that.
J: I mean, yeah, you didn't know that?
P: Ok. So those are the long green things with the stuff at the end?
M2: No, that's asparagus, they're like small round things with a bunch of leaves.
P: OH! Miniature cabbage!
J: Yeah, they look like that.
P: No, that's what it's actually called.
M2: No, it's brussel sprouts.
P: Umm, no, in Canada we call it the real name, miniature cabbage.
M2: You serious? You're fucking with us.
P: No. If you guys don't know it's not my fault.
J: So if I go to Canada and ask for "miniature cabbage" I'll get that?
P: Well, umm......you don't know anything!!!!
* storms out of the room *
J: Wow. I'm writing that one down.

Yeast infections smell like baking bread. Duh.

It's Brussels sprouts. As in the city. And I am from Canadia. My guess is this guy never actually visited the produce section.
- June 4, 2007 at 1:14 PM
actually - yeast infection don't smell like anything. Or aren't supposed to. If they do you prolly don't have a yeast infection!
Anyhow - we laugh at this blog every day at work - we all have psycho roommates too, just wish ours were less harmful and more comical as yours!

I almost peed myself when I read the, "well, in Canada" line. We have a man working with us who is from Canada and will tell you that every moment he can. We've started a jar so that we can put a quarter in every time we hear the words, "well, IN CANADA" uttered.
Wow, this post made my day, eh?

I love your blog too, but right now I'm just totally digging the Rentals reference! THAT is not something you come by every day.

Am also a fan of the Rentals AND my name ALSO starts with a P. Krazytime!
This blog is hilarious. I am linking to you right nowstyles.

I came to say oh my god, I make THE EXACT SAME MISTAKE with brussels sprouts and asparagus - I always think they're the same for a few seconds - but MINATURE CABBAGE? i am so happy to be me!
but i must add that if your genitalia smell like bread or beer, and they also itch like hell and you might even have some of that funky discharge going on, you probably have a yeast infection. they don't always have an odor, but they often do in vaginas, at least, so check it.

okay, the previous post to me - WAY TOO MUCH INFO - I'm totally feelin ill!!

But, what about in Canada speaking French? Pretty sure they've got "cabbage" in the name.
For example, this article from Toronto, making a pun on the French word for cabbage in an article about Brussels sprouts:

Whether this guy is Canadian, American or whatever, he is seriously deranged. I would not be surprised if we read about this guy pulling a clock tower sometime soon.
- July 9, 2007 at 9:55 AM
"Petit chou", literally "small cabbage", is indeed french for brussels sprouts. Now either you, the host of this blog, are covering up the fact that this guy's first language is French for the sake making all this much funnier, or he, either being embarrassed of his origins or simply trying really hard to assimilate, is covering up the fact that his first language is French. Either way, someone is playing dumb here.
- July 10, 2007 at 2:09 PM
Or the guy simply lives near french speakers and it was called that...or he is a nutcase. You haven't met either of these people, who are you to make assumptions?
- July 16, 2007 at 9:18 AM
Ummm... I'm from Montreal and Brussels Sprouts are "choux de bruxelles" in French. Literally "cabbage from Brussels".
I've never heard them called Petit Chou and I was raised in a French-Canadian home.
This guy P is unbalanced to say the least and is making Canadians look like morons!

The domain used to host small Google Gadget applications written by Web developers could be misused by phishers, a Web security researcher said Friday.
Google Gadgets are little programs that gather information on the Web and then display them on multiple Web pages. They are used to give Webmasters an easy way to display everything from sports scores to astronomical data on their sites.
Unfortunately, they can also be misused by phishers to get around antiphishing filters. Attackers could create a phishing site on the gmodules.com domain and then send that URL to victims. Because Google's gmodules.com domain is trusted by antiphishing filters, victims might then go to the phishing site without being warned by their browser's filtering software.
Security researcher Robert Hansen, a frequent critic of Google, reported the issue to the company's security team, but he was not satisfied with their response. He says Google told him that what he sees as a flaw is simply part of the site's expected behavior. Google couldn't be reached immediately for comment.
Google should restrict the URLs that can use this domain to avoid helping online criminals, said Hansen, who is CEO of SecTheory LLC . "If they leave it intact, I guarantee you it will be used in an attack."
Such an attack would probably be obvious, however, to a vigilant Web surfer, who would know better than to enter banking information on a site hosted on the gmodules.com domain.
There's not much that can be done to prevent phishers from abusing sites like this, if Google wants to let its users create content, said Alex Stamos, a researcher with Isec Partners. "They have to have this throw-away domain to jail modules written by other people," he said via e-mail. "It's not an unreasonable model, and it's the best they can do to host content created by malicious parties while not exposing themselves to attack."

Rumors are abound that Sony is set to reveal more details about the much-anticipated PS4. It was widely believed that they would use E3 to finalize details or at least give us more info but now speculation is that Sony will make an announcement as early as this month. Sony likely wants to keep the hype train rolling in their favor after the not so surprising PS4 announcement this past February.
My own personal opinion is that Sony wants to have all details available and perhaps even start taking pre-orders before Microsoft announces their next console. In January Microsoft posted a countdown to E3 on its blog which most people assumed was to be taken as a countdown to the NextBox. However there's still a chance Microsoft will also preempt E3 with their own standalone announcement. Both consoles could possibly release by the end of 2013.
Eventually I will own both consoles but my first choice and the console I will pre-order in hopes of getting my hands on at launch will be the PS4. I think a lot of gamers have similarly made up their minds regardless of announcements. So geeks, what's your thoughts on the impending next console generation? We'd love to hear your thoughts on what will undoubtedly be a competition that in the end can only end in a win for us gamers.

The medium of these forums is mostly words. Sometimes pictures, sometimes videos, but most of the information exchange happens with typed words with a limited amount of accents (bold face, italics, color, underline, size, capitalization)
However most people write in a conversational rather than academic tone. But you can't really hear the intonations, read the body language, see the gestures and facial expressions that you usually would with a conversation.
There's no pacing of expression, pausing for effect, there's nothing other than my words. Which means there's a -- v a s t -- divide between what I've intended when I write and what you infer from my writings.
hmmm....that was personal...could have been said:
there's vast difference between what an author intends with his/her writings and what the reader infers from writing.
Even that language gives us a model. The author puts in meaning then the read must decode and extract meaning. And somewhere in that process good things and bad things seem to happen. The vast majority of the discussion that goes on these boards is good, thoughful, informative, fun, repartee. A very little bit is misunderstood, mean-spirited, and the kind of thing I think folks should talk about one on one before they post it in open forum.
That's my opinion and folks can and will differ with me. However I am constantly...surprised...shocked...dismayed...by the level of emotional highjacking that seems to happen with just words.
Just words.
I guess my question is: why isn't more effort made to request clarification of someone's meaning before strong language is introduced. Why not just ask first instead of assuming that your inference is 100% correctly in line with what the author intended?

(CNN) - Scott Brown will be back on the campaign trail Monday in Massachusetts - not for himself but for the fellow Bay State Republican who hopes to take a page out of the former senator's political playbook.
Brown was a little known state lawmaker in January 2010 when he upset Martha Coakley, the commonwealth's Democratic attorney general, in a special Senate election to fill the remainder of the term of longtime Democratic Sen. Ted Kennedy, who died the previous summer.
[twitter-follow screen_name='politicalticker'] [twitter-follow screen_name='psteinhauserCNN']
Fast forward to present day and Gabriel Gomez, a businessman and former Navy Seal, is hoping to follow in Brown's footsteps. Gomez is the GOP nominee and the underdog in Tuesday's special Senate election in Massachusetts against longtime Democratic Rep. Ed Markey. The winner will serve the remaining year and a half of the term of Democratic Sen. John Kerry, who stepped down earlier this year to become U.S. secretary of state.
Gomez's campaign confirms to CNN that Brown will team up with Gomez at the candidate's final rally Monday night, on the eve of the election. Markey has led in the public opinion polls, with the two most recent surveys released this week by the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald putting Gomez down by double digits. But a pro-GOP survey released Thursday indicated a much closer contest.
Brown, who lost the Senate seat last November when he was defeated by Democrat Elizabeth Warren, passed on running in this special election. But if he had run, Brown said in an interview earlier this week with a local TV station in Boston that he "absolutely" could have beaten Markey.
Brown has signed his name to fundraising emails to help Gomez, and said "when I can do things, I'm happy to," but he added in his interview with Fox 25 that the Gomez campaign has "a different strategy, trying to do it and be his own person, and you know, show off what his credentials are and try to do it on their own."
While Gomez has had such big GOP names as Sen. John McCain of Arizona and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani stump with him on the campaign trail, Markey has teamed up with all the heavy hitters from the Democratic Party. In the past couple of weeks President Barack Obama, former President Bill Clinton and first lady Michelle Obama traveled to Massachusetts to help out Markey. Saturday Vice President Joe Biden makes the trek to the Bay State.
The winner of Tuesday's election will succeed William "Mo" Cowan. Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick appointed his former chief of staff to serve as interim senator after Kerry stepped down.
The Democrats currently hold a slim 54-46 majority over the Republicans in the Senate. Their coalition includes 52 Democrats and two independent senators who caucus with the Democrats.
Brown said in an interview earlier this week with a local TV station in Boston that he "absolutely" could have beaten Markey.
Arrogance !
He's an embarrassment, but he's ours. He keeps us humble enough to know better than to laugh at Rick Perry.
"But a pro-GOP survey released Thursday indicated a much closer contest"
You'd think GOPerville would have learned its lesson with the "Romney landslide (that didn't happen)" talking points they pushed over and over again last year. Reminds me of the GOP rebranding effort (that isn't happening) taking place within the RNC.
So, let me get this straight. Brown is "hitting the campaign trail" on Monday and the election is Tuesday, the very next day? Doesn't the phrase "hitting the campaign trail" carry with it the connotation that your efforts will last for more than a few hours?
I saw the headline and figured Brown was devoting a weekend to the race, going shoulder to shoulder, appearing on stage with Gomez. No, he's just attending the final campaign rally.
Ha ha, true that, Rudy. One past loser hesitatingly appears at a last-minute campaign event for a future loser. The All-New CNN interprets this as: hitting the campaign trail. Citing favorable-looking internal campaign polling is just gravy.
Rudy NYC - I think this qualifies as a "bare minimum" effort by Brown. Brown doesn't want to be accused of not supporting Gomez, but he doesn't want to be seen backing a losing candidate either. So it's a few token campaign appearances the day before the election. If by some miracle Gomez wins, Brown can claim he's the king maker. If Gomez loses, Brown can shrug and say he tried to help. What a guy.
Golly Man,
Just think, still high unemployment, millions of Food Stamps. Millions of Morgages under water, a nearly 17 Trillion Dollar Federal debt and rising. most States deep in the Red. So what. I ask is the problem? I know! We don't have enough Democrats in Office! Those dirty Republicians are screwing us! How dare they move off shore so we can't steal all their money. More democrats I say !!!

The PlayStation Move presents many gameplay opportunities that we have not yet seen; at E3 I was lucky enough to see a presentation of all the ways the hardware can be used to manipulate virtual objects in 3D space.
We were told that the demos were merely that, the sort of thing sent to developers in order to help them create games. Using the Move as a flashlight was one of the more impressive demos, and Sony has used that mechanic to create a very tempting piece of software in Echochrome 2. It's hard to describe how the game is played, so take a look at the video.
Using the Move to manipulate light and create shadows that become solid objects for your character to use is certainly novel, and this is one case where having a physical object in your hand will be a plus.
"With its unique way of using Move controller as a flashlight, you will control light and shadows, rotate levels and change the way objects are viewed and the shadows they cast," the PlayStation Blog explains. "The ultimate goal is to lead your character, that can only walk on the shadow, through the path from beginning to end."
Sometimes it's the smaller games that sell you on a concept, and this video basically let me know I need the Move hardware. Very impressive stuff.

Judy Dowe Standish, who passed away from cancer last March, and fellow long-time physical education teacher and coach Bob Arsenault were honored Wednesday night. A large group of family, friends and former student-athletes helped christen the Judy Dowe Standish gymnasium and the Bob Arsenault Court.
Legendary football coach Bill Mignault brought something special with him to the Ledyard High School gym on Wednesday night.
It was a letter, written by him in 1997, urging the Connecticut High School Coaches Association to name Judy Dowe Standish as the Assistant Coach of the Year for girls basketball.
"She never wanted to be a head coach," said Mignault, who at the time was the school's athletic director. "She liked to be behind the scenes, but working hard to make things go."
Dowe Standish, who passed away from cancer last March, and fellow long-time physical education teacher and coach Bob Arsenault were honored Wednesday night. A large group of family, friends and former student-athletes helped christen the Judy Dowe Standish gymnasium and the Bob Arsenault Court.
"She never wanted the spotlight," said her husband and former Ledyard English teacher and guidance counselor, Bill Standish. "She would have been thrilled by this kind of a dedication, but she would have felt embarrassed also. She wouldn't have wanted to be out here in front of all these people."
Dowe Standish counseled young girls seeking their way in life and then took that knowledge to the courts and fields at Ledyard High. She helped develop the gymnastics program, and was the cheerleading advisor, assistant basketball coach and outdoor track coach in her tenure from 1963 through 1997.
"If you said her name, the first thing that comes to my mind is that she was fair. She never was a gossipy teacher, even after you graduated," Michelle Hinton, a 1984 graduate and former track athlete, said. "She always found the good in people. Not to sound cliché, but she was the epitome of the perfect teacher, meaning that you could go to her, talk about a problem and it would stay confidential. She was a friend.
"She didn't have children of her own, but she had like 1,800 kids."
Mignault and Dowe Standish helped develop the physical education curriculum. They both arrived when the school opened, and Arsenault followed three years later, although he wasn't exactly cut from the same quiet cloth as Dowe Standish.
"Bob was a big personality who was still humble," said former Ledyard teacher, coach and principal Lou Gabordi. "He was very outgoing, loved to tell a good joke and was absolutely passionate about his coaching and teaching. We see less of people like him and Judy, of who it was not at all about them."
Arsenault was the first coach of the girls basketball program, which he began in 1975 with Dowe Standish beside him on the bench through 1982. The Colonels reached the state title game in 1976, but lost to Sheehan.
Arsenault passed away a decade ago, but his widow, Patty Arsenault, remembered how much time he put into the job. She said she charted his hours one season, unbeknownst to him, and told him at the end of the season that he had made all of 19 cents per hour.
"It is so special (to have the court named in Bob's honor) because he spent so much time up here. He loved this place," Patty Arsenault said.
Arsenault also coached boys basketball prior to his stint as girls basketball coach, and was the boys cross-country coach from 1966 to '95.
Ledyard superintendent Dr. Michael Graner credited longtime softball coach and physical education teacher Ellen Mahoney for bringing the contributions of both Arsenault and Dowe Standish to the attention of the administration and Board of Education.
Mahoney, who will have the softball complex named in her honor this spring, suggested that Dowe Standish and Arsenault be honored in the same fashion.
"I think it's appropriate that they get honored together, particularly because of their involvement in women's basketball," Mahoney said. "It's the culmination of a lot of hard work that the two of them put in over the years they were here — they bled blue. They were really proud of working here. It's nice to see their efforts pay off in a way that they will be remembered forever."

The government wants the UK to be a global centre of expertise in opening up the Arctic to exploration by oil and gas companies, promoting London as a hub of business services for the burgeoning exploitation of the polar regions, according to a Foreign Office strategy published on Thursday.
The green light is likely to enrage conservationists, as a group of Greenpeace activists and journalists have been imprisoned in Russia after protesting against fossil fuel exploration in the region.
But ministers said the exploitation of the Arctic would have to be carried on in a responsible manner, minimising any threats to the "unique and fragile natural environment". The UK does not have any territory in the Arctic, and so no formal role in negotiating international policy within the Arctic Council, but is regarded as an interested party because some of its northernmost reach is close to the region.
In the government's Arctic framework, set out for the first time on Thursday, the Foreign Office pledged to "facilitate responsible business activity in the region by UK companies. The UK government will promote the UK as a centre of commercial expertise with direct relevance to many industries that are growing in the Arctic."
That is likely to mean the construction of oil and gas platforms, in which the UK has decades of expertise from North Sea oil exploration, as well as lucrative ancillary services such as financial and legal advice, and shipping services as melting ice opens the region to transport.
Arctic oil and gas exploration is in the spotlight as 28 Greenpeace activists and two journalists are being held by the Russian authorities on piracy charges. The crew, two of whom scaled a Russian oil platform from the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise on 18 September, said they were aiming to highlight what conservationists see as the peril of destroying one of the last pristine environments on Earth in the quest for fossil fuels. They could face 10 to 15 years in jail if convicted.
William Hague, the foreign secretary, has been negotiating with Russian ministers over the fate of the six British nationals involved.
Julia Marton-Lefevre, director general of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, told the Guardian: "Exploring the Arctic [for oil and gas] will have consequences that could be drastic. We are putting off the decisions we have to make about finding different [low-carbon] sources of energy. I think we should not be going into new areas like this."
The Foreign Office said the UK's diplomatic role would be secondary to the states, including Russia and the US, that have Arctic territories. "The UK will continue to support and respect the sovereign rights of the Arctic states to exercise jurisdiction over their territory; the peoples who live and work in the Arctic; and the unique and fragile natural environment. At the same time, [the strategy] outlines the UK's legitimate interests in the region, our priorities for practical action and our willingness to show leadership in appropriate areas."
Mark Simmonds, minister for the Arctic at the Foreign Office, said: "We are the Arctic's nearest neighbour and we have long-standing environmental and commercial interest there. Our climate, migrating birds, fishing and shipping industry, and energy needs are all reasons why what happens in the Arctic is of vital interest to us."
Concern for the environmental impacts of any exploitation of the Arctic's regions would be key, the government said. The framework document commits the government to "working towards an Arctic that is safe and secure; well governed in conjunction with indigenous peoples and in line with international law; where policies are developed on the basis of sound science with full regard to the environment; and where only responsible development takes place."
Areas where the UK can play a leading role, according to the framework, include taking leadership on global climate change, and engaging with UK-based scientists, industries and NGOs. This could imply a brokering role for the government in future dealings over environmental protests in the Arctic.
The document also commits the government to "promote UK Arctic science … and continue to fund top class climate research … to increase understanding of the changes in the Arctic and their impacts on the global system". The UK has for more than a century been a leader in exploration and scientific research in both the north and south polar regions, but last year the UK's pre-eminent polar science operation, the British Antarctic Survey, was close to crisis when its funding was threatened, before a partial reprieve.
The government would also support marine protected areas, where fishing would be restricted, in the Arctic, and push for "the highest environmental and drilling standards, and provide advice where this is sought".
Rod Downie, head of UK marine policy at WWF, said "The UK's new Arctic policy is a welcome step towards the conservation of one of our largest wilderness regions, and could in time serve as a model for other nations with emerging interests in the Arctic. But it also exposes the lack of coherence in Whitehall over climate and energy policy. Instead of looking to high risk Arctic oil and gas for energy 'security', the UK government, and governments and industry across the world, must heed the warning signs from the rapidly changing Arctic by acting with urgency and ambition to tackle climate change and transition to a renewable future."

When I worked at the Guardian from 2001-2006, I was a fully paid-up member of the Make it Free posse. I even co-wrote a document (with my very clever colleague Stephen Dunn) entitled Guardian Everywhere, which postulated a strategy designed to make Guardian content available everywhere and anywhere, supported by advertising. We came up with the buzz-acronym P.A.D (Permanent, Addressable, Discoverable) to describe how we saw the Guardian as this completely open platform, its articles and photos and graphics available to all and sundry – accompanied, it was hoped, by a revenue-generating advertisement.
Were we wrong? Well, David Hepworth thinks we were. To be fair, he's?always thought we were. His latest post on the subject says this:
Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, I've been saying for years that some of the people who make airy predictions about new digital business models should leave the security of their banker-funded old media empires and try to walk the walk they've been talking for so long. Andrew Sullivan, probably the biggest political blogger in the English-speaking world, has announced that this is what he's doing. From February 1st his full output will only be available for the payment of a $20 annual subscription.
I'm sure Sullivan's people know all the tricks to ensure that as many as possible of his millions of followers pay the sub. If an old magazine hand may offer an observation to someone entering the real world of trying to part private citizens from the actual cash money in their pocket (in which of course the proprietor of your local car wash knows more than the cleverest person in the Groucho club) it would be this.
Many of your followers will disappear with a wooshing sound the moment you even hint at charging. A noisy minority will fall over themselves to give you their money and will make sure everyone knows they are doing it. An argumentative minority will hang around to complain that what you're doing is a) morally wrong and b) bad business practice.
Don't worry about any of these groups. The people you have to worry about are the ones who fully intend to subscribe, in some cases think they already do subscribe, but never actually get round to it. They're the ones.
As more and more of these subscription services come along – and as more and more free, open services like the Guardian's struggle against high costs and stubbornly slow-rising revenues – I begin to ask myself: was I wrong? Was Hepworth always right? Is the only way to make money off content to sell it, as near as dammit directly, to the consumer? Is there nothing to replace good old diligent, careful and skilful subscriber management?
I admit I don't know. I've lost that old certainty. And perhaps that's all that needs to be said. I'm back on the fence, waiting for proof either way. But what really bothers me is that there might be a third way, and it was a third way which a good number of people pointed out very early on. That third way sees the rapid demise of all the old media, and the emergence of brand new things with low costs, new approaches and disregard for these debates about business models. Things like Buzzfeed and Reddit and, yes, Andrew Sullivan's paid-for Daily Dish. Maybe you can't get there from here, after all. Maybe if you're here, you're already dead.
I really hope that isn't the case. But….

| 11.3°C Belfast
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho criticised Mikel Arteta for overreacting to a John Obi Mikel tackle and taunted Arsenal after extending his unbeaten record over the Gunners in Monday night's 0-0 draw at the Emirates Stadium.
Arteta was on the receiving end of two ankle-high tackles from Mikel and Ramires, while Arsenal might have had a penalty after Willian's challenge on Theo Walcott in the first half.
Asked about Arsenal's reaction to the decisions which went against the hosts, Mourinho said: "They like to cry, that's tradition.
"I prefer to say that English people - and I give one example, Frank Lampard - would never provoke a situation like that.
"Players from other countries, especially some countries, they have that in their blood.
"Foreign players are bringing lots of good things, but I prefer English blood in football and English blood in these situations is 'come on, let's go'."
Asked specifically about Mikel's tackle, Mourinho insisted it was fair.
He added: "It was a hard one, an aggressive one. Football is for men or for women with fantastic attitude.
"There are other sports without contact and fantastic sports and sports that demand a lot from the players, but no contact.
"Football is a game of contact. English football, winter, water on the pitch, the sliding tackles become at a fantastic speed. So be proud, play with proud."
Chelsea set up defensively in the clash and shackled Arsenal, with the home fans booing the Blues off and labelling Mourinho's men 'boring' at the final whistle.
Responding to the 'boring' chants, Mourinho, who is still to be beaten by Arsene Wenger's Arsenal in 10 attempts, said: "I'd agree. I played against them 10 times and I never lost.
"'Funny, funny Jose'. Ten times, they don't win once. What do you want to call me?"
The Portuguese was content with the result which took his side fourth, two points behind Liverpool, who lead Arsenal on goal difference.
Mourinho added: "Happy with the result? I would say not unhappy. We came to win, we wanted to win, we didn't want to lose. It's very important not to lose, because if we lose we are five points behind the leader.
"And, with a point, we are two points behind both leaders. That's a completely different picture. We tried to win, but we are not unhappy with the point."
Mourinho believes referee Mike Dean performed well; Wenger did not.
The Arsenal boss said: "I don't think he had a great game at all."
Wenger declined the opportunity to elaborate and did not criticise Dean for failing to take clear action on Mikel's tackle.
"I have to watch that again on television," Wenger added.
"On the pitch it looked bad, but the referee was in a good position."
Wenger felt Arsenal deserved a spot-kick in the first half.
He added: "I think it was a penalty. Honestly. If I'm wrong, I apologise.
"I've not seen it again, but it looked like a penalty.
"They defended well, were well organised, and we didn't find our zippy movements to play between the lines as we can."
Mourinho was content with a point, but Wenger wanted more.
He added: "Overall, they were happy with a point and we weren't. But we couldn't take our few chances we created.
"We dropped two points tonight and that's what we want to focus, to win the next game (at West Ham on Boxing Day)."
It was Arsenal's fourth successive match without a win.
"We're going through a patch where it's a bit more difficult, but part of a successful season is how you deal with that.
"The spirit of the players is unbelievably focused. There's a great desire.
"But let's be serious: if after the first game against Aston Villa (when Arsenal lost) I'd told you we'd be top of the league at Christmas, you'd have told me I was absolutely mad.
"We are where we are. The last three games have been a bit more difficult, but we have played Everton, Man City and Chelsea."

The Eilenberg-Maclane space $K(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}, 1)$ has a particularly simple cell structure: it has exactly one cell of each dimension. This means that its "Euler characteristic" should be equal to $$1 - 1 + 1 - 1 \pm ...,$$ or Grandi's series. Now, we "know" (for example by analytic continuation) that this sum is morally equal to $\frac{1}{2}$. One way to see this is to think of $K(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}, 1)$ as infinite projective space, e.g. the quotient of the infinite sphere $S^{\infty}$ by antipodes. Since $S^{\infty}$ is contractible, the "orbifold Euler characteristic" of the quotient by the action of a group of order two should be $\frac{1}{2}$.
More generally, following John Baez $K(G, 1)$ for a finite group $G$ should be "the same" (I'm really unclear about what notion of sameness is being used here) as $G$ thought of as a one-object category, which has groupoid cardinality $\frac{1}{|G|}$. In particular, $K(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}, 1)$ should have groupoid cardinality $\frac{1}{n}$. I suspect that $K(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}, 1)$ has $1, n-1, (n-1)^2, ...$ cells of each dimension, hence orbifold Euler characteristic
$$\frac{1}{n} = 1 - (n-1) + (n-1)^2 \mp ....$$ Unfortunately, I don't actually know how to construct Eilenberg-Maclane spaces...
Question 1a: How do I construct $K(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}, 1)$, and does it have the cell structure I think it has? (I've been told that one can write down the cell structure of $K(G, 1)$ for a finitely presented group $G$ explicitly, but I would really appreciate a reference for this construction.)
Question 2: $K(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}, 1)$ turns out to be "the same" as the set of all finite subsets of $(0, 1)$, suitably interpreted; the finite subsets of size $n$ form the cell of dimension $n$. Jim Propp and other people who think about combinatorial Euler characteristic would write this as $\chi(2^{(0, 1)}) = 2^{\chi(0, 1)}$. Is it true more generally that $K(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}, 1)$ is "the same" as the set of all functions $(0, 1) \to [n]$, suitably interpreted?
Question 3: What notion of "sameness" makes the above things I said actually true?
Question 4: Let $G$ be a finite group and let $K(G, 1)$ be constructed using the standard construction I asked about in Question 1. If $c_n$ denotes the number of cells of dimension $n$, let $f_G(z) = \sum_{n \ge 0} c_n z^n$. Can $f_G$ always be analytically continued to $z = -1$ so that $f_G(-1) = \frac{1}{|G|}$?

If Greg Valliere, chief global strategist at Horizon Investments, is correct, Wall Street should be worried about the rise of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
In a note to clients Wednesday, Valliere said "the self-described socialist who has rocked the aging and stale Democratic Party establishment" could create some headaches for the financial services industry. While he doesn't expect to see any major legislation get through a divided Congress, Valliere warned that Ocasio-Cortez could use her subpoena power as a new member of the House Financial Services Committee to "make life miserable for industry execs with endless hearings."
More broadly, Valliere says that Ocasio-Cortez's "ambitious agenda – universal health care, a guaranteed income, student loan forgiveness" – could mark a shift in attitudes among some voters toward taxation and government spending, which the congresswoman's young supporters tend to see in moral rather than financial terms. One implication of this renewed interest in large-scale social programs is that "the era of tax reductions is over; the challenge for conservatives is to simply keep the existing Trump tax cuts in place during the next decade." Another is that "the sky's the limit on spending," since Ocasio-Cortez "doesn't care about deficits."

From R. Barri Flowers, bestselling author of teen novels, GHOST GIRL IN SHADOW BAY and DANGER IN TIME, comes COUNT DRACULA'S TEENAGE DAUGHTER, a delightful young adult vampire tale with a nice blend between typical teen life and vampire mythology.

Evolucia Inc. has hired an innovation manager for a light-emitting diode research center it plans to open in January here.
Directing the new Lighting Technology and Research Center of Excellence at Evolucia's headquarters will be Asiri Jayawardena, the fourth person to receive a doctorate in lighting from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y.
Before joining Evolucia, Jayawardena held positions at the Ceylon Electricity Board and at the A.P. Moller-Maersk group in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Evolucia described its new research center as a "state-of-the-art lighting technology and product testing facility, unique in the industry."
The Sarasota County company said it is building the center in collaboration with Taiwan-based Leader Electronics Inc. as part of its partnership and overall commitment of $2 million for research and development equipment to speed Evolucia's product development.
In a statement, Evolucia chief executive Mel Interiano said the center "will enable Evolucia to accelerate our development of new LED technologies by allowing us to perform testing internally, significantly reducing costs and shrinking the product development cycle."
Late last month, Evolucia announced that its chief financial officer, Charles B. Rockwood, was resigning for "personal reasons."
Evolucia said Rockwood will continue to consult with the company through Nov. 30 and on a more limited consultation basis through March 30.
Evolucia posted a loss of $5.4 million on sales of $863,597 in the first six months of the year, according to its filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

A magical evening occurred last month on a beautiful farm by the bay in Wittman, Maryland – an al fresco dinner, to which a few of us lucky souls were fortunate enough to be invited. Both the meal and setting will be remembered for a long time to come. And even more impressive than the natural beauty of the site, the graciousness of the host and hostess and the many talents of those who caught, grew and skillfully prepared the bounty of sumptuous offerings we gorged ourselves upon was the company, itself. It's hard to recall an evening coming together so perfectly. It was supposed to rain, but instead the sun came out and set with a lovely blush to match the delicate Charles & Charles and Sancerre Rosés. Some of us had not previously met, but we are now communicating regularly and planning future escapades. The event and, indeed, the menu was only casually discussed, but suddenly it all seemed to come together as if it had been planned for months.
This is one of those great evenings that we see in photos and wish we could've been a part of. And, delightfully, we were. And it all came together in a relaxed and flawless manner that is the hallmark of great entertaining – thanks to the deft hand and eye (and taste buds!) of delightful Carol Bean (our hostess, chef, stylist and farmer), her charming husband Mark Connolly (a third generation waterman, who, along with his brother, caught the delicious fish we ate), Rachel Vecchio (a super-talented baker and pastry chef who supplied the desserts) and Kathy Bosin (a local blogger who graced us with her presence and charming dinner company).
We began with the lovely wine and worked in some freshly pressed & chilled watermelon juice for pacing. Then came the Red Cloud goat cheese served with grilled French bread drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and Carol's special, handmade "fish" crackers with sesame seeds and black lava salt. While the whole rockfish – stuffed with lemon, garlic & fresh mint and wrapped in fresh fig leaves from one of the farm's three fig trees – was grilling along with eggplant brushed with olive oil & sea salt. The parade of delicacies began to emerge from Carol's magical kitchen; quinoa cakes with slow-roasted heirloom cherry tomatoes, yogurt and finished with the tiniest micro-arugula we'd ever seen, fresh honeydew melon salad with blackberries and radish micro greens – tossed with a lavender white balsamic vinaigrette, barley salad with fresh, local raw corn, slow-roasted heirloom cherry tomatoes with fresh basil and fresh feta cheese, freshly grown and made chilled cucumber gazpacho "shooters" with a hint of lemon and garlic topped with beautiful, tiny micro greens – all fresh from the garden and Carol's French green beans, pickled in her own chive flower-infused vinegar. As we ate, drank and enjoyed every nuanced bite of these super-fresh, simple yet complex culinary delights, the dessert table started to beckon …
Carol popped the cork on a bottle of Domaine Du Pre Semele and we started nibbling dates stuffed with mascarpone cheese, rolled in chopped, dark chocolate covered espresso beans, then fresh, local peaches, soaked in a lemon verbena simple syrup, dusted with fresh lavender flowers, drizzled with balsamic reduction which had been grilled on the fire and finally ripe brown Turkish figs fresh from Carol's incredibly productive tree, sliced over the most delicate and decadent St. Angel cheese, drizzled with local honey. It cannot be stressed how delicious this cheese was (it will be eaten again. Soon!). And then, just when we all thought things couldn't get any better, Rachel brought out her now famous honeyed-thyme brown Turkish fig crostatas (made with local figs picked in nearby Neavitt and honey from Sand Hill Farms) served with homemade orange blossom whipped cream and an absolutely out-of-this-world rustic peach galette (made with peaches from Caroline County, and served with lavender-scented homemade whipped cream. Wow. Wow. And wow. We are still quite floored by it all and frankly, just longing for an encore! September, anyone?

What is Qualys SECURE? Can I cancel a snipe? What does Auction Sniper do? Auction Sniper is an eBay sniper that automates the process of placing your eBay bid in the closing seconds of any eBay bidding auction, dramatically increasing your chance of winning. We keep it simple: you tell us what you want to win, and we snipe eBay for you. How much does Auction Sniper cost? Auction Sniper gives each new user 3 free snipe credits. Each free snipe credit is good for one winning snipe. After these are used up, we charge a modest fee of 1.5% of the final auction price, with a minimum of 35¢ and a maximum of $14.99 for each auction that we help you win. If you use a credit card, Auction Sniper will automatically bill your account monthly. If you prefer, you can manually add a balance to your account using PayPal. Find out more on our Pricing page: https://www.auctionsniper.com/help/auction-sniper-pricing/ To get more free snipes, just refer your friends and neighbors to sign up with us. Each sign-up will net you 3 free snipes and of course they get 3 free snipes for trying us too. Everybody wins! Use this link: https://www.auctionsniper.com/refer.aspx How do I pay my bill? Log in to your account. Next, hover over the "My Snipes" tab and select "Balance." The "Payment" tab will display and you can select your payment method. To pay by credit or debit card (we accept Visa or MasterCard), click the "Add" button under "Credit Card Information." Next, enter your information and click "Save." Once the credit card information is saved, you may continue sniping. To pay using PayPal: Click the "Make Payment" button under "Pay With PayPal," and pay the $5 minimum from your account. Be sure to put your eBay and Auction Sniper username in the "Username" field. Note that pending payments and e-checks are not credited instantly. Please wait 2 hours before contacting our Customer Support Team about your payment. PayPal states its payment notifications can take that long to send. What are the risks of sniping? There are risks to sniping. No service or software guarantees your wins. Here's the link to our page on this: https://www.auctionsniper.com/help/auction-sniping/sniper-bidding/ Why do you require I link my eBay account? Auction Sniper is not associated with eBay in any way. Auction Sniper acts as your bidding agent. To do so, your Auction Sniper account must be securely linked to your eBay account. Where can I find more information? For information on joining Auction Sniper, please check out our membership terms. If you would like to know about Auction Sniper and your privacy, see our privacy policy. Our help page contains information about the site, how to join, and the login process. Is there an Auction Sniper Tutorial? Yes – check out the Auction Sniper Tutorial, our "Snipe It Now" Tutorial and our Bid Group Tutorial. What happens if two Auction Sniper users bid on the same item? Although the probability of this happening is very small, we have developed our software to give bidders an equal chance of winning in all possible cases. In most cases, it's very simple. The bidder with the highest max bid will win. Can I bid using non-U.S. currency auctions? Yes - We snipe in the currency of the auction. That's actually how eBay has it set up. No conversion is going on. So if the auction is in GBP, AU$, Euros or whatever---that's what your bid is in. Note there are no currency symbols anywhere but on our Balance page, which is for billing. Our billing is in USD, but all bids are in the currency of the auction. Do I have to leave my computer on for Auction Sniper to place a bid? No - Auction Sniper makes sniping on eBay auctions as easy as placing a bid, anyone can do it! Since we snipe eBay from our servers your computer doesn't even have to be on and there is no complicated software to learn. Our bid sniper server will snipe eBay just a few seconds before the auction ends, so you can rest easy. What does Auction Sniper do with personal information? Auction Sniper will never give out your private information. Please review our PRIVACY STATEMENT. What is the ideal lead time? Auction Sniper is a tool used to implement your bidding strategy. Ultimately, it is your strategy that will dictate the ideal lead time for your bid. No service or software guarantees your wins. Read more information about using a sniping service to bid. In the unfortunate event that your snipe resolves with a "Did Not Win" or "Not In Time" message, you can report this error for a free snipe credit. Can Auction Sniper place bids at other auction sites? Auction Sniper only works on eBay sites, both foreign and domestic. What if I place one bid using eBay by hand, and another one using Auction Sniper? Will Auction Sniper place a bid so that I outbid myself? If you add a snipe to our system, we will attempt to place your bid on eBay. Given the short time periods we work with, we do not check who is the current high bidder on eBay before attempting to place a snipe on your behalf. However, in most cases, your snipe will not "bid up" a manual bid you placed on eBay. Due to the rules of eBay's proxy bidding system, it is possible to increase the winning amount paid for an auction if your maximum snipe amount is greater than your maximum proxy bid on eBay. However, the circumstances that result in that behavior are uncommon and will never increase the final price by more than one eBay bid increment. To avoid this scenario, only place bids through Auction Sniper. If you do place a bid on eBay and Auction Sniper for the same item, be aware there is a chance eBay may take advantage and increase your winning bid amount. I sniped at the right time! What happened to my snipe? Our snipe servers try to adjust for eBay server lag and internet lag, so that eBay processes your snipe with the lead time you've specified. However, although the vast majority of snipes do go through on time, eBay can take longer (or shorter) to process your snipe. In addition, eBay will often take even longer to process your bid during peak hours: you might want using slightly higher lead times between 5 and 10pm Pacific Time, particularly on Sunday evenings. Using a 7-12 second lead-time is highly recommended during that time. How come I'm outbid but my snipe doesn't know it yet? We check if you are outbid as follows: If the item ends within 30 minutes, we may check every 10 minutes If the item ends in an hour, we may check every 20 minutes If the item ends in a day, we may check every 12 hours If the item ends in 7 days, we may not check yet. Please note that you can click on "Update Prices" just above your snipes, and it will give you this information immediately, so you're only one click away from the information you want. Also, during peak hours, especially Sunday evenings, our message server can fall behind. Of course, you don't have to wait for the server to catch up: you can just click on the item in the snipe and go straight to the auction to know how you made out. How did I lose when I was the high bidder? Why does it say bid too low? You may indeed have had a slightly higher bid, but eBay has minimum bid increment requirements. For U.S. go here: https://www.ebay.com/help/buying/bidding/automatic-bidding?id=4014 and for UK go here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/buying/bidding/automatic-bidding?id=4014 and you'll see how you lost out. You can also click on the confirmation link to the right of your snipe (click on Lost) for eBay's message back to you on this. Find out how it's possible to lose by less than one increment: https://www.ebay.com/help/buying/bidding/bidding?id=4003 What is Qualys SECURE? Qualys SECURE makes Web sites secure from hackers and certifies it to their customers with a Qualys SECURE certification mark. Qualys ScanAlert certification protects millions of shoppers every day at thousands of retail ecommerce Web sites. Appearance of the certification mark indicates that these sites are compliant with the highest federal Web site security standards, as well as Visa's Cardholder Information Security, MasterCard's Site Data Protection and American Express' data security programs. Can I cancel a snipe? Yes, you can cancel a snipe up to 5 minutes before we place your bid. Here's how you do it: Log in to your account to display the "My Snipes" tab. Click on the "Active" tab if it does not automatically display. Next, find the snipe you want to cancel. To the right of the product title, you'll notice a red X. Click on it to cancel your snipe. Canceled snipes will appear on the "Archived" tab and will not be placed if canceled in time.
