Reducing alcohol use among young people is the goal of SAMHSA's Sober Truth on Preventing Underage Drinking (STOP) program. Funded through SAMHSA's Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP), the program helps existing community coalitions across the Nation work to develop effective strategies tailored to reach not only youth but also families.
Launched in 2008, the STOP program now supports 102 grantees. Read three grantee stories — Ohio, Connecticut, and Wisconsin.
STOP grantees are communities that have already mobilized, built capacity, and developed a comprehensive strategy for reducing youth substance abuse under the Drug Free Communities grant program, which is directed by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy in partnership with SAMHSA. The 4-year STOP grants allow these communities to expand their efforts and focus specifically on underage drinking.
Grantees focus on changing the culture around them rather than specific individuals, using strategies from the 2007 Surgeon General's Call to Action to Prevent and Reduce Underage Drinking.
"Prevention science tells us that effective, comprehensive, substance abuse prevention strategies focus not only on strengthening the resilience of young people, but also on changing the conditions that surround them," explained Jayme S. Marshall, M.S., Chief of the Community Grants and Emerging Issues Branch at CSAP. "Environmental factors work toward shaping the acceptability of substance use, the availability of substances, and the consequences of using illegal substances, which include alcohol and tobacco for minors."
The coalitions use a wide variety of strategies to tackle their underage drinking problems (see grantee stories).
In some communities, for example, the goal is simply to raise people's awareness.
"There are some communities where parents are still supplying alcohol to young people or see alcohol use as a rite of passage," said Ms. Marshall. "In those areas, coalitions are trying to help people understand that youth drinking is dangerous." Coalitions are also enlisting the help of young people themselves.
Other coalitions are trying to change their communities' attitudes and norms by changing practices, such as putting new restrictions on alcohol use by adults attending youth sporting events. Others are re-evaluating existing laws and policies, such as changes in judicial punishments for youth alcohol violations.
A coalition in California has even enlisted the help of local builders. "Locked medicine cabinets and locked cabinets for alcohol are built right into the homes they're building," said Ms. Marshall.
The three grantee highlights are Ohio, Connecticut, and Wisconsin.
Three new campaigns bring powerful prevention messages to communities.

FORT COLLINS - Colorado State University has suspended Greg Lupfer, after it determined the defensive line coach did utter a gay slur toward a Washington State University quarterback.
Lupfer was caught on camera yelling at Connor Halliday after a 1st quarter touchdown, in the Gildan New Mexico Bowl on Saturday. CSU's Athletic Director Jack Graham says the suspension is immediate and without pay, and requires Lupfer to undergo mandatory anger management and diversity training.
Lupfer acknowledges he made a mistake. "I accept these consequences-two weeks without pay and the training programs-and I am thankful for this second chance to continue coaching at Colorado State and be a part of the Ram Family," Lupfer said in a written release. "I am deeply sorry for my behavior, which does not represent who I am or my values. I embrace the opportunity to participate in anger management and diversity sensitivity training. I was angry and careless with my words, and my words hurt many people. I sincerely apologize to the GLBTQ community for causing pain by using a slur without considering its meaning. I take ownership of my words and fully understand why people are very upset."
Colorado State won the game 48-45.

I can't wait till this is official
Along with new wallpapers, there is also an option for "Group Message" in the Messages Settings.
When this is activated, sending a message to multiple contacts is listed as a "Group MMS Message", whereas with the option disabled, a message to multiple contacts is listed as "Group Message".
I don't really see what the difference is but it was just a little quark I found.
Wow just was reading this on gizmodo
Also, Multitasking is working with Apple Branded Apps much better and switches seamlessly.
Overall stability seems good.
Was running 4 beta 3. Had to downgrade back to 3.1.3. Navigon would not work correctly. Most applications would crash after a few mins., and last but not least, I needed tethering back. So went back to 3.1.3+JailBroken+MyWi and I'm back to being a happy camper.
one of my friends has it, more stable
I'm sure Stealth will tear it apart, and let us know what's new .......
Beta 4 is much better than the third. Shows more of what you'll be getting with OS 4.0
No u gotta buy It. People are selling in bst section
Well atleast Steve is getting the idea of folders too bad he is years behind
^^^ that wallpaper bug was available in beta 3, im downloading beta 4 now, hopefully it's worth it
By the way, how fast of speed are any of you guys that have premium accounts on megaupload getting? I had a premium a year or so ago and just don't use the site enough these days to re-enroll in it. That' being said, on my "regular" download i'm still hitting a constant 600-700 k/s.
is it me or am i retarded...when i go to change my wallpaper in 4.0 i cant set a background for the spring board... I'm ruining it on a 3G WTF is going on.

SPOKANE - It didn't take long for first-round pick Joey Gallo to introduce himself, and his thunderous bat, to the Avista Stadium faithful. In his second plate appearance of the night, the left-handed slugger drilled a 1-2 offering from Tri-City starter Shane Broyles (4-3) deep into the Spokane night. Three innings later, Gallo bested his first blast, rocketing a grand slam out of the stadium as the Indians defeated the Dust Devils 16-4.
Gallo, the 39th overall pick in the 2012 draft, finished the night 3-5 with two home runs and seven RBI; both season bests for an Indians player. The three hits raised Gallo's average to .313 after his first four Northwest League games and he now has a total of 20 longballs on the year after hitting 18 for the AZL Rangers.
Not to be outdone by their powerful new teammate, Chris Garia picked up four hits and scored four times while Royce Bolinger extended his hitting streak to 20 games with a trio of hits and three RBI. Bolinger's hitting streak tied Tri-City's Tom Murphy for the longest in the NWL this season.
Spokane starter Connor Sadzeck (1-3) was sterling in picking up his first professional win, allowing just one hit and no earned runs in six innings.

Take Her To The City of Lights
How about a romantic night in Paris without the transatlantic flight? It can be done with Parisian props and the Goldlights of Paris Kit, which includes the Arc De Triumphe Arch and Eiffel Tower to simulate the romance of the Parisian skyline. Create anniversary invitations with lots of personalized choices to get the word out about the special event.
Rock Around The Clock
The party will be peachy keen with a trip to Mel's Drive-In. Why, party-goers will almost smell the burgers and fries with the 50's diner photo background. She will look groovy in her poodle skirt and scarf – 50's costumes. Choose hot pink tableware for the diner. And, don't forget the stacks of wax and mounds of sounds with your At the Hop Party 50's Party Music CD. Everyone will be lip-syncing all night long.

It's Not A Gamble
Hit the jackpot with a casino night party. Wheelers and dealers are greeted with casino theme banners and you can bet the photo poker chips with the anniversary couple's photo on each chip is a sure party winner.
Don't Forget The Food
Any of the anniversary party theme ideas should include catered party supplies to help create the theme atmosphere and make set-up, serving and clean-up easy.
Party essentials include plastic champagne glasses for the toast, stay put table covers, squiggle straws, and snap apart plates What a novel idea!
See sir, you did great in planning your next anniversary party. She knew you could do it.

met this angel today
she's amazing
met this angel today
she's amazing
she said it
matter of fact
like she was sure
let them go
she said
imagine how free you'll feel
I was just talking out loud
asking the wind
or my computer screen
how one goes about erasing someone from your life
is it a process?
do I need a form
the full moon
do I dance around
recite spells
she put down her Starbucks cup on her desk
she was working
we work together
but not long enough to know all the secrets
that glue us together
for years
not yet
her coffee cup
beautiful lip marked up
something I focused on
when I told her thank you
when I tried hard to believe her
I don't think of you anymore
and other lies
I don't want to tell you things
and other lies
feelings have expiration dates
and other lies
sometimes in my garden
when my face is red wine numb
I lick my finger and stick it up in the air
broken compass
wicked wind
I have no direction
not even a guess
to the speed
of all of this
A long, wet kiss. An open palm.
Sweaty skin. A summer song.
The small of a back.
This was supposed to be a grocery list.
things break
someone once told me that I storm
middle of afternoons
that I am a parade of energy
china shop
so I tried to creep slowly into your life
I actually tiptoed
bit my bottom lip
but there was a loud sound
like water rushing
someone yelling at 2am
it's hard to stop a train
and I'm not sorry
life has these cavernous holes that show up
unannounced like knocks on quiet house doors
football field size pits of grief and angst and
this is what your mama never told you about
because who wants to paint a picture
like that
who wants to tell someone
that someday
they will be
all thick
like a madman
desperate to make it
the way it did
white flags
the word uncle
you across a crowded room
just tell me it's all going to be OK
just lie to me
all night long
wolves are everywhere
and if you let them look you in the eye
you go blind right before they tear you apart
don't read fairy tales
they are bullshit
don't think for a second
you are safe
or unusual happiness
is at the other side of dark forest
sling a gun on your back
fill your pockets with rocks
and run
half-awake to the world
day dreamer
blue-soaked skies
a mouth full of tongue
birds flying out of my chest
a jukebox that only plays sad songs
you never even knew it was me
I must have blended into the bricks
I must have been so quiet
route 33
and I'll think about losing my mind
slowly as the trees blur green past me
walk the bricks in town
kick the past in the teeth
and I just don't learn
my heart is a shitty compass
I never go north
If you decided you were wrong
I wouldn't care that I was right
sometimes it takes so long for the night
to drip dark and the lights to burn yellow
it's always dusk
all over the city
did you ever notice that in August
did you ever see me walking down the street
my hair on fire
I saw you but I kept my mouth closed
I have learned not to shout
I stood outside of a bar and told you everything and cars went by like cartoons and you were not looking at me, only right past my head to a place you made up. I told you I could fly, but it was a lie. My only power is to disappear.
I was in a fugue state when I met you.
I am sure of it.
I can almost remember the lights and the way the streets were wet.

Let the poet take you from the Appalachian foothills of her childhood to the big city in this collection of 40 poems that are all anchored by the great state of Ohio. She says, "There are places you live and places that live in you."
You'll want to read these poems aloud to the ones you love.
Amy Turn Sharp's first poetry book collection - Hold Me Like Ohio - was created in Winter 2014.
It was designed by Shannon Lieberman using Georgia and brandon Grotesque fonts. Pages were printed by WestCamp Press on 80# text weight paper. Covers printed on 140@ cover stock from French Paper Company. Covers were letterpress printed and bound by Igloo Letterpress in Columbus, Ohio.
I left three poems on the bus last week
two under the newspaper box downtown
and one on the top of the shiny cigarette machine at the pub
I disguised my writing of course
wrote like a left handed winner
in tiny little loops
kissed each paper
and walked away
it's like I don't even care
to keep them
they have to go away
Someday your soft heart will be smashed. You've read all the books, watched films, seen the way people treat each other in the street. Get ready. Wait for it. Wait for it. And some of the times you will just have to live with it. This is truly the shittiest part. Let the heart wreck bullshit just sit with you for an undetermined amount of time. Treat it like a dangerous pet that you have to feed quickly. Stroke it. Acknowledge it. Tell it to go away but in a sweet little whisper. In French. Because you have to deal with it or it will never go away. It will bite you. You could die.
And then you will wake up and the sun will be all over the room and you had forgotten how badly you felt. It just happens like that and you may even put your hand to your chest and feel like your heart is bigger. Stronger. Faster. If there is a mirror in your bedroom take a good look at yourself. This is life. You are looking at life.
Make sure you keep giving your love away no matter how stupid that feels again. Give it to all the people. Like sweets, balloons. Paper. A bunch of flowers in your hand. Not everyone means to be terrible and thoughtless and confusing. But we all do it and we all rise up again in sunny bedrooms. Just wait. You'll remember all of this someday.
the space in the middle of summer
holds all of the heat and light
of the entire year
and it can make people crazy
watch out
I was riding my bike
through my neighborhood
and I just wanted to fall into the grass
and tumble like a child
and stay there for hours
watching my elderly neighbor tinker around
in his green garden
he wears overalls and is beautiful
and I wanted to walk right over
and ask him to list out all of his regrets
beg him to whisper them to me
to write them on my arm
like a talisman tattoo
and the sun must have done that to me
must have been real hot
the rain relentless
and I just want to take off my dress
and walk wet
the road here is gravel
reminds me of a movie
I saw when I was a kid
or maybe I just made that up
I only think impossible things when I think of you
I could send you a message with my mind
once I did fly
walk through a wall
tickled myself
stopped time
I can tell you the future
give me your hands
put them on me
I'm a mess
I'm all up in three summer ales and Nina Simone is blaring out a boxy little window and my bathing suit top strings are all hanging down and it ain't even 2pm yet and there is nothing that will stop me from telling you things. I love it when the sun licks at me just a little and the sky is a painting and there are people in this world who are not afraid. I think about your perfect passion and the way a whole bunch of days string together like lace. I wonder what you think about right before you go to sleep

This product worked immediately for the issue I wanted to control, pain and stiffness from fibromyalgia. As an added bonus, my cholesterol went down 20 points within a month and I have a steady energy level all day - feel like I am 30 again!

I started using this last spring. It changed my life in connection with addressing MCS symptoms. First, it gave me more energy; it eliminated pain; and started healing areas of former traumas. My chemical sensitivities also reduced. There was a herx reaction with it, but I just kept taking in and that subsided by two weeks and was gone totally after a month.

I have every symptom except that I have nerve damage. I have Cervical Disc Radiculopathy from 4 ruptured cervical discs. With that said, I see some improvement in my pain management. I can manage to see my Chiropractor every 2 weeks instead of weekly. I will continue to use this product.
It's working for my fibromyalgia!

At least, I've been taking it for two months, along with accupuncture treatments, and I feel 100% better! My fingernails are growing faster, and so is my hair. I'll keep taking it for all the other benefits unless someone does a study saying none of it works. It can't hurt!

One of Alabama's star football recruits stopped by an Atlanta hospital to visit a girl who was recently diagnosed with bone cancer.
Geno Smith is a senior at St. Pius, ranked as the No. 8 defensive back in the country by Rivals, and signed with Alabama over Auburn last February.
The 5-foot-11, 190-pound Smith was approached last week about going to see the younger sister of one of his classmates, Grace Buckel. The 12-year-old girl was diagnosed with cancer in her leg last month and was hospitalized at Scottish Rite (Children's Healthcare of Atlanta).
An Auburn player recently visited a patient down the hall. Grace is an Alabama fan and her parents thought a visit by Geno might cheer her up. Smith and his St. Pius teammate, Nick Maiolo, made the special trip last Friday.
"I was happy to do it," Smith told the AJC. "We just hung out and talked a little football."
"It was very nice of Geno," said Grace's mother, Cindy Buckel. "He's kind of a quiet guy, very unassuming. Grace was very surprised when he walked in. She enjoyed having him in the room. They took pictures, and they just talked.
"Even the doctor that came in to check on her during that time knew who Geno was, and asked for his autograph, which I thought was kind of funny. She enjoyed the time he was there. It made the time go by faster."
Smith, an AJC Super 11 selection, will report to Alabama on May 27. Smith was one of eight top Georgia prospects to sign with Alabama's No. 1-ranked recruiting class in February.
Smith reflected on the recruiting process.
What NCAA rule would you change about recruiting? "Probably the rule that doesn't allow the head coaches to come out to spring practices anymore. We have our spring practices at St. Pius during January, so coach [Nick Saban] was able to come by the school during that contact period. But he wasn't able to come by my school [during the spring evaluation period]. That's one thing I wish I would change."
What was the biggest rumor about you that was not true? "The summer before my senior year, I had a top five without UGA in it. But people thought Georgia was really in there and at the No. 1 spot … and that I was a silent commit to Georgia and I was going to go public on signing day."
What was your biggest recruiting secret? "I didn't really have any secrets. Well, I guess I had one – I really liked Tennessee. All my junior year, I would come home and play 'Rocky Top' on YouTube and then hit repeat."
What was your biggest recruiting regret? "Well, when I committed, I wanted to commit early so I could enjoy my senior year. I knew where I wanted to go to school, so I didn't want to wait. But I wish I could've taken some official visits, you know, go check out some places kind of far away, like California. But when I committed, I didn't feel like it was the right thing to do for me take any more official visits. I don't regret it. But it was one of those things I wish I could've done. Then again, it worked out because when I committed early, I was able to recruit other guys to come to Alabama, too."
Which school disappointed you the most during the recruiting process? "Tennessee, because I liked Tennessee a lot. A coaching change happened with whomever recruited my area during my junior year. I didn't know who was recruiting me until later that spring. By that time, I was like 'OK, we're going to shift it to Alabama and Auburn.'"
Which non-Alabama coach was nicest? "Coach [Mark] Richt at Georgia, for sure. Most definitely. He's a great guy, a family guy that is good to be around … good conversation." Not the nicest? "None of them are mean. I don't think coaches are mean during recruiting. I've never gotten a negative vibe from a college coach."

While I am proud that this player is a Tide recruit , it is a good thing for all of us that every college program seem to have young men like this . Learning to take the time for others is a powerful lesson that benefits the players lives and the society they live in . A strong antidote from some of the lessons the rest of us learn elsewhere

Geno is a great kid. If you follow him on twitter you know that he is a very grounded, respectful individual. Some of these cocky, self absorbed, egotistical, elite high school athletes could learn a thing or two about how to represent themselves and their famlies from this kid. Roll Tide, Geno.

Great to read these types of articles. For all of the constant "me first" young men of this generation it is nice to be reminded that we still have Geno Smiths around. Good luck while Bama except for the Saturdays you find yourself against the Dawgs.

It is good to see a headline about a recruit/player doing something positive. It seems that getting arrested is more headline worthy for most media outlets and leads the public to believe that the majority of the good athletes are not good people. I believe the bad ones are the exception.

My purpose in Life is to logon AJ-C blogs, and to contribute to all other UGA blogs as an adversary and mortal enemy of every SEC team who is 1 of the SEC teams who have put UGA into this position after the 2005 season – eight (8) seasons ago now 2012 – of us being the # 6 SEC team in won/lost record. I promise to promote the team as not # 6 in The SEC after 2005. I further desire as my only goal in Life to TEAM-UP with other Bulldogs' Fans and to declare that we as this VOCAL MINORITY really believe that we ain't # 6 in The SEC in won/lost record now for 2012 after the 2005 season 8 seasons' ago.
Further, it is fine for me to say whatever I want. And, it is equally not allowed that anyone should challenge my facts. If they do, I will ignore their facts, and challenge their manhood, and do all in my power to have their opinions removed from all blogs and banned.

Bama yall got a great young man in Geno and, of course, he is a great football player. I wish he could have stayed in state but i wish all these young men the best. I wish fans would realize these guys have to go where they feel they will do the best both in the classroom and on the field. I cant stand it when fans criticize these young athletes bc of the university they have chosen. You can only take in so many each yr.

Once upon a time GT recruited very well among the Private Schools like St. Pius & Marist, Woodward, etc.; now under CPJ not so much.
When the "local academic school" (GT) loses the Private School Recruits to the Factories, then you know your Recruiting is very weak.
Thanks for nothing, CPJ!

Because this is the state of Georgia newspaper's blog on Recruiting, and because therefore Alabama signed 8 recruits from this state of Georgia of 4-Stars or better, of which this fine gentleman is but 1 of the 8, while Mark Richt at UGA signed only 5 recruits in this state of Georgia of 4-Stars or better, of which this fine gentleman was offered along with the 8 signed by Alabama by Mark Richt and chose Alabama.
Did you have to take the Lord's name in vain ?

@ Coach – you are right about needing to hear more positive stories that inspire rather than stories that add to the cynicism. Last week my son came home from school and told me that Aaron Murray and the Long brothers were at his school reading to elementery kids. I know that journalists can't be aware of where these kids are 24-7, but if any of those guys had been behaving badly the news would have been shouted from the rooftops! I guess bad news sells and that is a sad state of affairs. Look at this blog story for example. It's a great and positive story about a good athlete, Geno Smith. Yet 6 hours after it was posted there are less than 30 replies.
May 15th, 2012
10:25 am
Bucket, alas, the nature of news. Let's make it 31.
Geno Smith is a great kid. There are a lot of great kids wearing SEC and ACC jerseys these days or doing their high schools proud. They quietly perform acts of kindness with nary a tweet or a poke.
Here's to all of them.

This deal with Alabama signing Georgia players is nothing new since Coach Bryant often signed several each year and some dang gooduns as well. Perhaps he best center of all time (top 5 anyway) was Dwight Stephenson and he was one of Coach Bryant's favorite players. Pet Cavan,Neil Calloway,Raymond Ogden,Terry Jones,Jim Bob Harris and on and on. Then it was just water cooler chatter and now thanks to Al Gore everybody knows. Auburn makes a living off Georgia recruits and most to stay near the top. The fact GT is having such problems getting topshelf players should make life easy for Richt regardless to the number of players that go to Bama. If UGA ever gets a hardazz task master (as well as a great coach) running that show then the rest of us are in trouble just like what happened at Gatorland when Steve took the job. Stuff happens and something fast. JMO but I believe some things are happening within the UGA admin that just might indicate Richt has to perform this year or he's out.

I'm as big a Dawg fan as anyone alive and I hate it that Geno chose to go to Bama over UGA, but I'm also the parent of a 9 yr old little girl who is a cancer survivor herself. Anyone who is coming on this particular blog to talk about anything other than what a class act Geno is should really check their priorities in life.
Geno & other athletes like him will never know how much it means to these kids to have their heroes stop by and spend a little time with them. These are kids who are stuck in the hospital having needles poked into them every day and poison pumped into their bodies in the name of making them "better." My daughter talks all year about the UGA players who stop by Camp Sunshine in the summer to play football with all the "cancer kids" who are attending summer camp there. Geno, you are a fine young man and I hope you have a fantastic career at Bama…

What a great report and topic for a Tuesday morning, I know St. Pius and the the citizens of Georgia are proud of this young man.

I can't say enough good things about this fine young man! What a refreshing change to see someone at his age who "gets it" . . . who understands that it's not about just him . . . and that his celebrity can be used for good things. Tide Nation you landed a first class young man in Geno Smith. And I don't mind a bit telling you that I wish he were ours! Good luck to you Geno! I wish you well!

Yes, we could have really used him off-the-field for this good press, and we could have used him on the field as the 88th best overall football player in the nation and specifically the # 6 best in the state of Georgia – and, of course at our BIGGEST NEED # 8 in the nation best Defensive Back -
- especially given all the BAD PRESS to our own Defensive Backs
- especially given all the 11 defensive backs run out of our program
-especially given the fact he would be STARTING vs Mizzou as db

Tdawg, if the other 40 writers on this thread and tried to write the most preposterously cynical and inappropriate post we could come up with, it would not hold a candle to yours.
Congratulations. You have achieved greatness, and you should be ashamed.

Did anyone notice that an Auburn player visited someone else first, and the Bama family didn't want to be outdone so they reached out to Geno?
Geno seems like a class act. Very great thing you did, young man. You can't help but wish for the best with young men like this. I wish more athletes acted like this.

Please put a sock in it. Alt. Dawg is a DGD and has a right to his opinion just the same as you. Were you a hall monitor when you were younger? You, young man, are also a lightning rod who upsets others constantly. Altamaha is all-Dawg…

It doesn't have a lot to do with recruiting, but Geno is a famous recruit from Ga. and so M.C. felt it was appropriate. Still waiting on an article on UGAs quest for OLs…

Real Cream Soda! Learn How To Make Soda Syrup At Home
P&H Soda Company out of Brooklyn is trying to make a push for fresh, artisanal sodas. It's not that owner Anton Nocito thinks soda has to be snooty by any means, but by bringing back real flavors and ingredients you're bound to end up with a better tasting (and healthier) drink. Click through to check out Anton on Martha as he shows her how to make Cream Soda at home!
In the past we've talked about Ikea's Elderberry Syrup, but if you're looking for something a little less commercial, P&H Soda Co. offers classes (if you're in NYC) on soda and syrup making or you can order their products online.
We love our Soda Stream more than almost any other kitchen appliance and use it daily and we're pretty sure these would make a nice addition to your pantry. Do you make soda syrup at home? What flavor would you like to test out? Let us know in the comments below!

I love spring for lots of reasons, but fresh rhubarb syrup to use with my soda stream is just about the best one.
Soda Stream rocks!!! Apple juice with lemon and a wee bit of whiskey. SO SO good. The whiskey is used more like you would vanilla, a teaspoon will provide lots of flavour with out turning the mid-day soda into a cocktail...(unless you want that :D )
Love my Soda Stream too! I make all sorts of syrups from scratch.
But when I'm lazy I just mix some pomegranate molasses with some sweetener (honey or whatever you like, sugar stevia, agave) add soda water and voila, pomegranate soda.
I use my soda stream all the time, and I normally just make ginger-infused simple syrup to use with it. But next month I'm taking a soda making class at the Brooklyn Brainery (http://bit.ly/hUAOWj). Very excited to learn new sodas to make. I'll have to check out P&H's classes too.
This is way more economical and better than a Soda Stream: http://bit.ly/HomeCarbonation

Kevin Mandia, the former CEO of Mandiant talks about international cyber espionage events at the 2013 Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference in Aspen Colorado. YouTube
The UpTake: The founder of Mandiant had already outsmarted the Chinese government with his own company. Now that he has even more resources, what's next?
Kevin Mandia sounds like a nut job. In fact, when you hear him talk about his limo company being hacked by the Chinese government (which he once described as "neat"), he sounds outright paranoid. The thing is, the man who founded information security firm Mandiant—which yesterday announced it had been acquired by Milpitas, California-based FireEye for $1 billion—isn't paranoid, he's just right.
And now that he's no longer the CEO of Mandiant, but the chief operating officer of his new $5 billion employer that serves 1,500 companies in 40 countries, he'll have plenty more to keep him busy, this time though on an even larger scale.
"By joining FireEye and Mandiant, we will be able to deliver fully integrated products and services that help organizations protect themselves from attacks," Mandia said in a statement. "The combined product portfolio will cover all the major attack points within an organization, and our expanded services capacity will allow us to quickly pivot to incident response when necessary to reduce the impact of security breaches.
This is either some great PR speak, or the stereotypical voice of a military man. And Mandia does come from that world.
The former Air Force intelligence officer with a degree in forensics from George Washington University and a childhood fan of Quincy, M.E., a medical detective series in the fashion of Columbo, had already used Mandiant's technology to identify 147 companies hacked by the Chinese government, according to an interview he gave Fortune last year.
So what exactly could be bigger than that? One possibility he hinted at in the same interview could be the discovery of what specific companies benefited from the intellectual property stolen by China. He also said he hopes a non-technical, diplomatic solution could be achieved now that the Chinese hacks are public.
Michael earned his BA from Mercer University, along the way excavating a Roman bathhouse with the American School of Archaeology. Plus, he provided security at Oxford University, where he also studied literature and philosophy. He earned his MS from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism while training for and running in the New York marathon.

Drop of sunshine brings out the beer drinkers
11:00am Monday 10th September 2012 in News
REAL ale drinkers enjoyed an added drop of sunshine with their pints this weekend at the Mason's Arms annual beer festival.
The pub, in Quarry School Place, Headington, was host to about 45 barrels of ale from across the country, including eight top award winners from the British Beer Festival.
Real ale fan Matt Bullock was among those washing down his pint while enjoying a spot of good weather in the pub garden.
Landlord Chris Meeson, whose recommended pint was Mauldons Blackberry Porter at 4.5 per cent, said it had been a great day.
He said: "It was crazy. We sold out of everything within 18 hours of opening.
"I really think the weather helped.
"We are already planning next year, which we hope will be bigger and even better."

Meet Chris P. Bacon.
He's a special piglet who was born without the use of his hind legs, but gets along just fine thanks to a wheelchair his human made for him.
Bacon has also become an Internet sensation. His owner, Dr. Len Lucero, first posted a video on YouTube for friends and family to see him, and now the clip has gone viral. Many are calling the piglet an inspiration.
"It's gone to his head," said Lucero. "He turns his nose at me all the time. He's a character."
Bacon is named after a character in a video game.
Lucero adopted him after a client drop him off at the Eastside Veterinary Hospital in Clermont because she couldn't care for him.
First, Lucero and his son worked on getting Bacon up and moving.
"A one pound pig!" said Lucero. "You have to get creative because they don't make those so I used K'nex toys."
Bacon's now pretty good at using his front legs to hop around, as well.
But two weeks ago, back before Bacon was easily mobile, Lucero posted the six minute clip on YouTube for his sister to check out.
"I called my sister who lives in Colorado, and said you have to see my piggy!" said Lucero. "She looked it up, and then all of a sudden everybody saw it. She must have had a lot of friends."
Nearly 475,000 people worldwide have viewed the clip. The video even helped Bacon get a new wheelchair. The now five pound piglet outgrew the first two chairs. A worker at HandicappedPets.Com donated a real chair.
"I showed the video to one of the workers, Lisa Marie Mulkern, and she just fell in love with him," said Lucero. "She said, No! I'm giving you this cart!"
Along with a little public relations help.
Bacon has a Facebook page, and several other social media accounts.
"Twitter and Pinterest!" said Lucero. "And I don't know how to access any of them."
Lucero clearly has to work on his social networking skills. Meantime, his family is glad Lucero has brought home this little Bacon.
"I get home, and my daughter, who has never greeted me, runs out to get Chris from the truck," said Lucero.

Service rating : Prompt deliveryProduct : Very disappointing quality of flowers, i.e. lucky bamboo in the bouquet went dead on day 2 after arrival, same for roses that were dead at the same time.
Mum and dad were very pleased. Great service
It was easy to place an order, flowers were delivered on time, i was notified that they were dispatched and delivered successfully.
My recipient said that this arrangement was lovely..The flowers were very fresh and budded.
For some reason this was with the order, but I thought I clicked on the box for no card, but I did put a message which I thought would be on a note, for the price it wasnt worth sorting out over the phone!!

This is the fourth blog post in a series (intro, Part 1, Part 2) regarding pastors developing healthy boundaries in their ministries. I'm sharing four key points in the process, thinking of them as four fence posts around a healthy ministry.
I have already shared the first two "posts": Recognize your role in the church, and pursue personal emotional health.
The next may be the hardest to implement in our culture. Also, I imagine it will generate the most disagreement. However, I think it demonstrates a biblical approach to the shepherding of a congregation, rather than turning the church into a place where a group of customers demand their area of interest be paramount.
The third post supporting a healthy ministry is guarding your flock, even if it is from other Christians.
Some of the people who sit before the pastor on Sundays have open, untreated wounds on their souls.
The church can really help them through today's ministries. Or it can damage them to the point that they will never recover.
Your work is so critical, church leaders.
If you are the pastor, your sermon can make a world of difference. If you are worship leader, the choices of hymns and choruses and Scriptures, and the manner in which they are conducted, can be a balm to those in great pain. If you teach a Sunday school class, ask the Father to go far beyond the lesson you will be commenting on and do something miraculous in the hearts and souls of all who will sit before you.
Pastors, nowhere in Ephesians 6 are we given any protection for our backsides! I think there's a good reason for that—we aren't given permission to retreat.
So the answer to "When should a godly leader retreat?" is "Never!"
Understand, I'm not talking about repentance, a changing of the mind or an encounter of real truth, where we turn from wrong beliefs and actions. I'm talking about turning back from the God path.
In the first post of this series, I began a discussion on the importance of pastors establishing healthy boundaries in ministry.
As it's an area in which I have personally struggled—and one in which I continue to grow—I'm passionate about sharing what I have learned in order to help others not make the same mistakes I did.
In the next four posts, I will share keys to establishing these boundaries. Think of them as four fence posts surrounding a healthy ministry.
I've always hated the Its a Small World ride at Disneyland. I don't know if it's the incessant song, the Chucky-like dolls or just the bland predictability of it all.
I prefer Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, where every turn is a new adventure. Just when you think you have it figured out, you are spun around and sent off in an entirely new direction.
So I wonder why we feel compelled to sell the Christian life as more Small World than Wild Ride? We tell people if they'll take these six steps to a better life in Jesus, their finances will improve, their spouse will love them more and their acne will clear up. While there might be bumps along the way, the more we follow Jesus, the better our world will be. Sing along: "It's a Christ world after all, it's a Christ world after all …"
As leaders, it's equally important for us to know how to follow as it is how to lead. In fact, many believe to be a good leader, you must first be a great follower and continue to follow well as you continue to lead well.
I would suggest that great leaders are equally in tune with how to follow well as how to lead well. So here are a few thoughts on following:
1. Good followers are finishers. They get the job done, take projects across the finish line and make things happen on their own.

Anyone with information about the following crimes committed on campus please call 661-1109. You don't need to tell us who you are; just tell us what you know.
You can provide your information anonymously through our "Silent Witness" page at:
In the past, "Silent Witness" reports have provided leads on cases under investigation. Thanks to those community members concerned with keeping FMU safe and secure. Please be our eyes and ears out there…help us to help you.
5-6-2014 – Assistance to the Sheriff's Office – Late in the evening, Campus Police Officers were called to assist the FCSO in locating a woman who ran out of the woods adjacent to Price Road, struck the side of a car and then took off running. The driver of the car believed the woman may have been under the influence. The woman was located later that evening by several Sheriff's Deputies. The woman was not harmed by the collision with the vehicle.
5-9-2014 – Driving under Suspension (DUS) – A non-student was stopped for speeding by Campus Police. The non-student's license was suspended. He was arrested and taken to the Florence County Detention Center.
5-13-2014 – Vehicle Accident – A county employee was backing her county-owned vehicle and hit a parked car in Parking Lot "B". A report was completed for insurance purposes.
5-15-2014 – Theft – Two visitors to campus reported a set of jumper cables and a pair of sunglasses stolen from their parked cars while they were on campus. Neither victim wanted an official report or any type of investigative follow-up. Campus Police completed a report for information purposes and the report was reviewed by Campus Police Investigators for crime-tracking purposes.
5-19-2014 – Fire Alarm – Campus Police responded to an early morning fire alarm in Swamp Fox Hall. There was no fire or smoke and it was determined there was a faulty electricity ground to the fire panel. Maintenance was notified and fixed the fire alarm panel.
5-21-2014 – Suspicious Phone Calls – A faculty member received several phone calls here at the university which concerned her. A Campus Police Investigator was assigned to look into this case. It was determined these calls were coming from a very persistent telemarketer and were not malicious in nature.
5-24-2014 – Fire Alarm – Campus Police responded to a Johnston Apartment for a fire alarm activation. There was no smoke or fire. A custodial worker working in that apartment had inadvertently sprayed cleaner on a smoke detector which set it off.
6-7-2014 – Fire Alarm – Campus Police received a "trouble" alarm from the Residence Hall fire alarm panel. Maintenance personnel responded and it was determined the alarm came from a low battery charge. The problem was corrected and the alarm cleared.
6-6-2014 – Fire Response – Shortly before noon, there was a local power fluctuation which caused several of the university's HVAC machines to become overheated. One of the HVAC units in the Fine Arts Center began to smoke and eventually set off the smoke alarm. Several Campus Police officers responded as they were already on campus due to regularly scheduled in-service training. The Windy Hill Fire Department also responded and checked the Fine Arts Center and several other buildings for issues. No other issues were found. University maintenance personnel corrected all of the alarm problems and other issues.
6-10-2014 – Driving under Suspension (DUS) – Campus Police stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation on Francis Marion Road. The non-student driver of the vehicle had a suspended driver's license. He was issued a state ticket for DUS and allowed to depart. The vehicle was released to the registered owner.
FOUND PROPERTY: FMUPD currently has numerous items that were left unattended or found on campus. If you are missing an item of property and can provide identifying information for your missing property, contact Lt. Ken Pittman at 843-661-1117.

Adobe released Flash Player 11.2 on Tuesday, addressing two critical arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities and introducing a silent update option.
One of the patched vulnerabilities stems from how older versions of Flash Player checks URL security domains and only affects the Flash Player ActiveX plug-in for Internet Explorer on Windows 7 or Vista.
[ Learn how to secure your systems with Roger Grimes' Security Adviser blog and Security Central newsletter, both from InfoWorld. ]
Both vulnerabilities can trigger memory corruptions and can be exploited to execute arbitrary code remotely. However, Adobe is not aware of any exploits for these flaws being used in online attacks at this time, said Wiebke Lips, Adobe's senior manager of corporate communications.
Users of Adobe Flash Player 126.96.36.199 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and Solaris are advised to update to the new Adobe Flash Player 11.2 for their respective platforms. Users of Adobe Flash Player 188.8.131.52 for Android are advised to update to Flash Player 18.104.22.168.
Flash Player 11.2 also introduces a new updating mechanism that can be configured to check for and deploy updates in the background automatically without requiring user interaction. The feature has been in Adobe's plans for a long time and is expected to decrease the number of outdated Flash Player installations that attackers can target.
"The new background updater will provide a better experience for our customers, and it will allow us to more rapidly respond to zero-day attacks," said Peleus Uhley, platform security strategist at Adobe, in a blog post on Tuesday. "This model for updating users is similar to the Google Chrome update experience, and Google has had great success with this approach. We are hoping to have similar success."
The move was welcomed by Thomas Kristensen, chief security officer at Secunia, which develops the popular Personal Software Inspector patch management program.
"A silent and automatic updating mechanism for Flash would help the majority of users. A more consistent and rapid updating of the user base is likely to impact the attackers' preferences for Flash," he said.
Of course, this will only happen after the vast majority of users upgrade to Flash Player 11.2 or a later version using the old method that requires explicit approval.
When Adobe Flash Player 11.2 is installed, users are asked to choose an update method. The available choices are: install updates automatically when available (recommended), notify me when updates are available, and never check for updates (not recommended).
The silent updater will try to contact Adobe's update server every hour until it succeeds. If it receives a valid response from the server that no update is available, it will wait 24 hours before checking again.
For now, the automatic update option is only available for Flash Player on Windows, but Adobe is working on implementing it for Mac versions as well, Uhley said.
However, even if the automatic update option is enabled, Adobe will decide on a case-by-case basis which updates will be deployed silently and which won't. Those that change the Flash Player default settings will require user interaction.
The new updater will update all Flash Player browser plug-ins installed on the system at the same time. "This will solve the problem of end users having to update Flash Player for Internet Explorer separately from Flash Player for their other open-source browsers," Uhley said.

Cameron County, PA
Project Type
Visitor Facility
9,300 sf
LEED Certification
LEED-NC Silver
Sinnemahoning State Park Visitor Facility
The Pennsylvania Wilds Initiative, Dark Skies Program, and Elk Viewing & Habitat Preservation were all programs developed under Governor Rendell to draw visitors and stimulate the economy of the rural, undeveloped North Central region of Pennsylvania The Sinnemahoning State Park Visitor Facility was one of the first projects created under these initiatives and serves as a launching point for visitors exploring the region.
Located in Cameron County, the new visitor facility is a 9,300 sf, single story structure that includes a new park office; interpretative exhibit space; an artisan gallery; classroom and meeting room space; and an elk viewing area.
The site layout for the project was designed to use the natural features of the site to highlight the building while minimizing disturbance in the project area. The building is situated to take advantage of the views of the valley from the rear while the entrance faces the parking areas, tiered into the hillside to reduce their visual impact on otherwise natural surroundings.
The LEED Silver certified building incorporates green features that include: energy-efficient lighting and down-lighting for dark skies; geothermal heat; water-saving toilets and faucets; light-colored roofing; sustainably-harvested wood; recycled content products; rain gardens and bike racks.
The new visitor center will help to educate visitors about the regional wildlife, conservation history and stewardship practices, and provide creative ideas for exploration of this unique and rugged section of Pennsylvania.
