FAQs - Information Security Awareness Survey - Additional Information
Question: To your knowledge, does Saint Louis University have an Information Security Officer?
Nick Lewis is our ISO and he can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Question: Do you know who to contact if your computer is hacked or infected?
Contact the ITS Service Desk at email@example.com or 977-4000 or your local support person.
Question: If you have anti-virus installed on your computer, your computer cannot become infected as the anti-virus program will stop all viruses, worms and Trojans.
Anti-virus software only works as a simple barrier between you and the rest of the world. The best way to stop all viruses, worms and Trojans is to be pro-active. Be wary of e-mail you are not expecting and question the safety of websites you visit.
Question: Do you know what an e-mail scam is and how to identify one?
Be sure to ask yourself, is this too good to be true? Does it make sense? Be wary of e-mail from someone you do not know or are not expecting.
Question: Should you use personal devices, such as your mobile phone or personal computer, to store or transfer sensitive information?
The use of personal devices puts sensitive information at risk. You should only transfer and store sensitive information on approved devices.
Question: According to SLU policies, are Cloud services, other than Google Drive, allowed in our organization or used to store organizational data?
Currently, the only approved cloud service vendor SLU uses across the entire organization is Google Apps for Education.
Question: The responsibility of protecting our organization's devices and information rests solely on Information Technology Services.
The responsibility of protecting our organization's information and devices rests on all of us.
Question: My computer or information has no value to hackers; they do not target me.
Hackers are constantly trying to gain information about you and your employer as well as any access point into SLU's network.
Question: Is your work computer configured to be automatically updated? For students, is your personal computer configured to be automatically updated?
ITS managed devices are configured to be automatically updated. If you are unsure about your device, contact the service desk or your local support person. Keeping your operating system and other software up-to-date helps ensure the safety of your computer and information.
Question: Are you careful when you open an attachment in e-mail?
Always make sure it is from a person you know and that you are expecting the e-mail. E-mail attachments are the fastest way for a hacker to infect your computer. Think before you click.
Question: Has your boss or any other co-worker asked you for your password? For students, has anyone asked you for your password?
No legitimate business or organization will ever ask for your password and it should never be shared with anyone.
Question: Do you use the same passwords for your SLU accounts as you do for your personal accounts at home, such as Facebook, Twitter, iTunes, or your personal e-mail accounts?
Creating separate passwords for every account is the safest way to protect your information. Using a password manager to manage all of the passwords may be helpful. More password security tips can be found on our webpage
Question: Have you logged into SLU accounts, including e-mail, using public computers, such as computers from a public library, cyber café or hotel lobby?
Many times public computers lack the security needed to safely access your SLU accounts.

Citizens of the United States, diverse in their backgrounds and beliefs, are united by adherence to principles of liberty and justice symbolized by the American flag. A pledge written for an 1892 Columbus Day celebration became the official affirmation of national loyalty in 1942 when Congress included it in flag legislation. In 1943 the Supreme Court upheld a citizen's right to follow individual conscience and beliefs in choosing whether or not to recite this pledge.

Yes, I'm referring to Nicki Minaj's hair, but also the fact that it's the annual season for American Idol to return. Millions of amateur singers screech, bumble and sometimes even sing their way to one of those illustrious golden tickets to Hollywood. Most of those auditioning probably practiced at home. Ok some of them practiced and a lot of them could use some more practice. What better place is there to practice your Taylor Swift imitation than in the shower? Well have I got the perfect shower head for the home of the next American Idol.

Hey stranger! Sorry there hasn't be a new post in like whole 2 weeks. I know you're probably pulling out your hair all stressed out, wondering what the hell happened to me and why I haven't delivered you another melt-your-brain grilled cheese recipe. No? Oh... errrr... ummm... well l can explain. After getting about a thousand phone calls from my
I'm so proud of them and the hotel is totally insane so let me gush for a second. It's located on the river, has 14 awesome eclectic rooms with everything from stuffed baby alligators to vintage aquariums, boasts a 5 star rating on tripadvisor.com, and has gotten an insane amount of recognition just for being opened only 6 months. If you're ever in The South and want to stay at a crazy-nice mid-century modern old-Florida mansion on the river with some serious Southern hospitality (did someone say shrimp'n'grits?), then The Black Dolphin Inn is where you should head. And as for the town of New Smyrna Beach, well besides having beaches that you can drive on, endless amounts of fresh seafood, and most importantly all the hot pro surfer dudes you could ever want, New Smyrna is also right next to Cassadaga, the spiritual and psychic capital of the world.
COOL, right?! I know! And if it's not obvious from my instagram feed, then you should know that I'm basically totally obsessed with all things creepy so I got super excited when my BFF, my lil bro's new girlfriend, and I decided to shoot over there for a spooky afternoon. So like any idiotic group of giddy girls in a horror movie about to get murk'd, we found a scariest shack that had no electricity and a pagan woman named Glo Lady to read our cards. Of course she knew everything about my life and it was totally awesome. And although I don't swear or abide by futuristic readings, I'm totally into it... Except that whole part about me getting the baby card. Yeah, well, umm, I'm nowhere near ready for that to be a part of my life.
On the other hand, remember a few weeks ago when I asked you all to donate to my friends Kickstarter for The Underground Butcher? Well it seems my futuristic prediction was right and because they did it! They made their goal! I'm so happy for them and you should be too, because that means that you will be able to get their meat just about anywhere sometime soon. Because i'm metaphorically peeing my pants in excitement for them, I'm using their salami one more time! This sandwich has Wisconsin Cheese's leek and morel jack cheese from Springside, candied garlic, broiled tomatoes, and Underground Butcher's goat salami all on a pretzel roll. It's insanely delicious and complex and I've been told it brings good luck.
So here we go...
- Leek and Morel Jack Cheese (Springside)
- Goat Salami (The Underground Butcher)
- Candied Garlic
- Pretzel Roll
- Broiled Cherry Tomatoes
- Salted Butter
I try a lot of crazy cheeses (if you ever see me in person, don't forget to ask me about coconut gouda) but I'd never even heard of a jack made with leek and morels. Just from the name I knew it was going to be nuts. I mean, come on, how fancy does that sound? Earthy morels meet fragrant leeks and combine with a sharp jack to create one super flavorful and meltable cheese that's perfect for grillin'.
To begin, add a moderately thick slice of the cheese and plop it down on some pretzel rolls slices.
Now add some of that goat salami from Underground Butcher. It's way more gamey and earthy than typical pork salami but I think it holds up perfectly against the woodsy cheese. To me, salami taste WAY WAY WAY better when they're sliced super thin so follow my lead and try to get them as skinny as possible. Lay on a few pieces and make sure to gobble a few down.
Here's where the craziest ingredient comes in - the candied garlic. I thought of this after having bacon brittle in Wisconsin. It got me thinkin' what else I could brittle? Oh yeah, GARLIC. It sounds complicated but it's actually super easy. Watch my video on instagram to see how I did it - HERE.
Once you have this sweet, spicy, and crunchy treat read, crack it and sprinkle it on top of the sandwich. It not only gives it a super nice crunch, but it also adds an extra sweet note that is much needed in such an earthy sandwich.
Now add another slice of cheese and the top piece of bread. Omy omg ALMOST DONE!
Now butter both sides of the bread, turn your burner to medium heat and place 'em in.
After a few minutes, they should be all golden and brown and irresistible. Flip, repeat, and invite some of your BFFs over.
Have you ever gotten your cards read or have had some sort of existential experience

Super spud stops in Henrico
Photo by Patty Kruszewski/Henrico Citizen 06/18/12
The Great Big Idaho Potato Truck stopped by BJ's Wholesale Club on Starling Drive June 15 as part of a seven-month cross-country tour marking the Idaho Potato Commission's (IPC) 75th Anniversary and raising funds and awareness for Meals on Wheels. Among the visitors who had their photos taken in front of the "specially cultivated" potato -- which weighs six tons and stands almost 12 feet tall -- were Andre Ragsdale, age 13, and nine-year-old Nathan Ramirez.
Hauled by a 48-foot-long, specially-constructed flatbed trailer that took a year to build, the 28-foot-long potato made its national debut at the Idaho Potato Bowl in Boise, Idaho in December when ESPN featured it during the game. The IPC estimates that a similar-sized potato would take more than 10,000 years to grow, take two years and nine months to bake, and would be 1,102 times heavier than the largest potato ever grown, which weighed 11 pounds.
Varina Ruritans honor students

A fun, fuzzy ride
'Muppets Most Wanted' worthy of its franchise
Do Muppets sleep? It's hard to say.
They don't really eat (or breathe, as far as anyone can tell). And only occasionally do they have visible, functioning legs.
As far as anyone knows, sleeping might be off the table. And that makes it very hard to accuse the Muppets of sleepwalking through their latest feature, Muppets Most Wanted – even if that's exactly what's going on.
Jim Henson's beloved creations were back in a big way after 2011's The Muppets, with fame and fortune and even an Oscar, a first for the group ("Rainbow Connection" was nominated, yet somehow failed to collect at the '79 ceremony). > Read more.

Madeira Beach, FL 33708
Ties Between Diabetes & Heart Disease ExplainedPosted: Tuesday, January 15, 2008
A researcher at the University of Virginia Health System is demonstrating why so many people with diabetes may have heart disease.
Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine Dr. Zhenqi Liu has shown that in healthy humans, insulin greatly increases blood flow in heart muscle.
The study involved 13 healthy volunteers who had fasted overnight experienced a 41 percent increase in microvascular (smallest blood vessels) blood volume in heart tissue after an insulin infusion.
Now, Dr. Liu is conducting trials focused on insulin resistance, a cardinal feature of type 2 diabetes. He is testing the theory that insulin resistance limits circulation in heart muscle in patients with type 2 diabetes and is the major contributor to the development of heart disease in diabetic patients.
"I hope findings from this project will eventually lead to the development of new ways to diagnose and treat diabetes-related cardiac complications," Dr. Liu says.

Even a rock-star employee (ahem, that's you) can use a little assist sometimes. These savvy tactics make it easy to send out an SOS without feeling like a total loser.
Your worry: People will think I have no clue about what I'm doing.
Why you shouldn't sweat it: You'll come off as more flaky if you keep quiet and struggle instead of requesting some direction. But keep it simple: Ask a manager to double-check your first-draft memo-not to write it for you. Seeking a second opinion is wise.
What to say: Lead with something like "I've pulled together some solid ideas for this project." Then go in for the ask: "Do you think you could take a look at my plan?" You want to emphasize that you've got things under control, advises Garret Keizer, author of Help: The Original Human Dilemma. Practice out loud a few times. See? You sound totally capable.
See more: 20 Superfoods for Weight Loss
Your worry: All my coworkers seem so busy. I'd hate to be a pain.
Why you shouldn't sweat it: We underestimate how willing people are to help us, a study from Columbia University notes. When we work with others, reward centers in our brain light up, which feels good, PLOS ONE finds. Plus, by asking, we give them license to show off. Can't hurt!
What to say: Acting sheepish won't cut it. Instead, be upbeat in your approach-and toss in a compliment, says Sara Laschever, coauthor of Women Don't Ask. Go with "I love the way you think on your feet in meetings-you have such great insights. Could you brainstorm with me for five minutes?" You'll seem likeable and make her feel good.
See more: The Flat-Abs-Fast Secret
Your worry: I want to prove I can handle a project solo.
Why you shouldn't sweat it: Here's the key to looking totally competent even when you haven't got your bearings: Make it clear that you need help with only one teeny-tiny thing. (You have the rest covered, thank you very much.) Nobody's going to doubt your skills, we swear.
What to say: Avoid blurting out something generic, such as "I'm dying here-can you help?" Instead, your request should set boundaries from the get-go: "Would you mind eyeballing the numbers in this section of my report?" After you get what you need, retake the reins with a friendly "Thanks so much for that. I'll go finish things up!"

Comments On Jan 02, 2013:Replaced some Michelin Pilot Power 2's with the M3's and I couldn't be happier. Ran the tires completely to the edge on the track without any slippage whatsoever. This tire is excellent for some harder street riding and light (middle pace intermediate group) usage at the track.
Rode the same tire on a GSXR1000 and they were overpowered by the bike and needed some good throttle control to avoid spin ups.

Comments On Oct 01, 2010:Well I wrote the only review as of now for the front M3, and here is an update on the rears. These still are my top pick for tires on my bike with my riding style. I have gone 4300+, 4720, 4812 miles on each of the rear M3 tires I have had on (the front s easily could have run longer, but I am a replace as a set kinda guy). Just for reference-Comparitively speaking, the Q2's went 4510, 4520 miles between the 2 sets of those I have tried, the Pilot Power 2CT 2300+ miles, the Pilot Power 2500 miles, the Sport Attacks, 2500 miles, the BT016's 3600 miles and OE original 208's about 4000. Most of these tires saw about 33% 2 up, and the the majority of the miles were spent getting to and from the "fun roads" and we typically ride "the pace"- double plus 20 in the corners. No wheelies, no burnouts, no ;) triple digit speeds. 600 cc sportbike.
Additional Comments On Sep 09, 2011: Here is an update, I am now on my 7th set of these. The last several sets the rear tire tread depth has been 6/32" instead of 7/32", so these last 2 rears now have only made it 4320-4560 miles. I don't know why the tread depth change (accidental or deliberate marketing to get people on the M5) but they still perform well and continue to be my tire of choice.

Houston >Beauty > Cutloose Salon
1711 Westheimer Road, Houston, TX | Directions 7709829.742520 -95.402568
10-7 Tuesday thru Friday
Neighborhoods: Neartown/ Montrose, Central
Highlight, Cut, and Style – Terri is amazing! She has worked her magic on my long, curly hair twice now. This time we did highlights and I walked out of there with such swagger. The best part is that I was able to recreate the style on my own at home in even less time. I am pretty picky about stylists and she is the only one I've returned to since moving to Houston 2.5 years ago. The ability to make appointments online is a total bonus. If you have curly hair that tends to get heavy as it grows out, request Terri! You won't be disappointed.
Last week was my second visit to this salon. I have to say this place has a lot of character and some highly experienced hair artists. My first appointment was with Megan in December... i have to say she is one of the sweetest person I have ever met. I liked her instantly. She shampooed my hair, gave me a hair trim and some advice on how long it would take for my short layers to grow out. She offered a free trim/bang in betweeen the 3 month period she told me was needed for my layers to grow out.
I never availed her offer. End of February I was completely fedup of my long hair and they felt really heavy and difficult to blow dry. I tried to make an appointment with Megan but our schedules did not match, so my other option was Ashley. Now Ashley gave me what i call almost a make over. She cut my hair in layers and even though they're still long (below my shoulders) she made them look volumized at the top of my head and thinner at the bottom... this is perfect for styling and blow drying has become really easy. I have to say while she was cutting my hair I was really nervous because I felt like she was cutting off a lot and I felt I would not be able to style it at home. But i have to say its a wonderful haircut, makes me look much younger and glamorous.
The only negative is that this salon is expensive. My first trip was $50 plus tips, and the second trip costed me $65 plus tips. I think i can only afford this every 3 months...
Great Salon – I recently had an appointment with Teri and love my hair! She was able to make my curly frizzy hair manageable. Great layers and a new technique so I don't have to pull out my hair dryer- awesome!
Non-pretentious & Badass: My Dream Salon – I've lived in Montrose for over a year now and drive by cutLoose all the time... but yesterday was my first time ever sepping foot inside.
I'll admit I brushed the salon off thinking it was going to be full of pretentious hipsters who think they are hair gods, and thank god I was wrong.
I thought about going to Blue Mambo but the receptionist was very rude to me after I told her the price of $75 for a haircut was a little too expensive.
Then I had a flash and remembered cutLoose. I checked out their website and was super stoked when I saw that you can book your appointment online!!! You can pick out what day and they show you all the openings they have. Or you can pick which stylist you want. Just set up your appointment and show up to the salon. They even send you helpful email reminders that your appointment is coming up.
I chose Amanda Z. to do my hair and I'm so glad!
She was so sweet and made legit conversation the whole time. Not just weird polite filler stuff. She asked me what I had in mind and made my vision come to life, and it looked good on my face! This is seriously the first time I have ever walked out of a salon feeling 1000% happy with my new hair. WOW. It looks great; so much body and I have super fine hair.
The other staff members were all friendly and joking with eachother. And all the other clients there looked very happy and pleased as well.
Please check them out!
Unless you're not a fan of trendy hipsters. Oh yeah, and you wont get judged as soon as you walk in *cough* unlike toni & guy *cough*.
Edgy, fashion forward, and hawt. Oh and definitely worth the price!!! ($65 for a women's cut and style)
Chad Is Worth Every Penny – I have been going here for over a year now after my long search of finding the right place. After my regular stylist moved, I went all over Houston trying to find an even DECENT place. I'm a guy and i thought it wouldn't be too difficult to find a new person to cut short hair...I was seriously wrong.
I ended up at Cutloose and chose Chad from all the recommendations. He isn't cheap, but damn is he good. You really do get what you pay for and even more at this place. You also do get a complimentary trim which I suggest you take advantage of that.
The staff of stylist aren't people with a some experience and cut hair, they continually learn more about their craft. The stylist go to training seminars all over the US frequently.
Don't be afraid to bring in a picture, it really does help them out in knowing what you want specifically. Chad is always there for recommendations on how it would look for your shape. For some reason, the haircuts from here tend to keep a lot longer than other places. Chad also likes using his razor and scissors over any electric tool. The only electric thing he uses is this little trimmer. He is very proud in what he does and shows it. It says "30minute" haircut, but Chad really does take however long he needs to on someone's hair and I respect that. I don't gripe if I have to wait 15 minutes, because I would expect Chad to take his time with me as well.
I'm sure all of the stylist at Cutloose are great, I just like to stick with Chad since he saved me from my bushwhacked hair. The best of luck to anyone who tries anywhere else, but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place. Parking is a beeotch, but its Montrose area. Hit Brasils aafterwards and chillax :P
Great Style + Great Stylists – I love going into Cutloose! This place packs plenty of fun, energetic stylists that know what they're doing. I go to Traci and she always does a great job on my color and cuts. I'm probably like a lot of other people, very picky! But Traci always listens to what I want and makes suggestions on what would work and look best. Listen to your stylist! Chad has also styled my hair for some photoshoots and I always love the cutting edge updos he creates. The staff regularly educates themselves on new styles so I always feel comfortable in their hands. The Bumble and bumble products are so great - with tons of products to purchase as well. You will not be disappointed!
I've been a Cutloose devotee for over 20 years! – I've never been disappointed with my haircut or color, whether I brought an idea to Carol, or she or Michelle made a suggestion for a look I might want to try. I will patronize this salon for the next 20 years.
Most fun haircut I ever had! – Loved the whole experience! not stuffy atmosphere. They know what they are doing. While I sat there waiting, I listened to the Manager make plans for the next class some of the stylist are attending in New York. I gotta say, I was impressed. I'm going back for color!
Awesome! – I had an awesome experience! Ashley cuts and colors my hair and I have never been happier with my hair. I always trust her to do what she thinks is best and I have loved it every time! The staff at the front desk is always helpful and they do email confirmations which is super easy for me!!! In short, Ashley is awesome so book an appointment with her!!
Amazing haircut – I love the background music, the atmosphere, all the employees and the way they get along with each other (they're really like a family). And, most importantly, the stylists are the best in the city. Stephanie just gave me the best haircut I have ever gotten. You should try them out.

Pinsir is often overlooked due to his bad Special Defense, only decent Speed, and more importantly, his Stealth Rock weakness. Luckily, Pinsir is a great Pokemon if used properly, as he has a monstrous Attack stat and enough Speed to outrun the common base 80 Speed Pokemon, such as Blaziken and Venusaur. This, coupled with a great offensive movepool including X-Scissor, Close Combat, Stone Edge, Earthquake, and Swords Dance, makes him a potent threat in the UU metagame. His abilities are very good too; Mold Breaker allows Pinsir to hit Levitating foes with Earthquake, while Hyper Cutter makes him immune to Intimidate. However, it isn't all good news for Pinsir. Besides the aforementioned Stealth Rock weakness, fast Pokemon such as Swellow, Arcanine, and Alakazam easily revenge kill him if he is not carrying a Choice Scarf. His lackluster HP and Special Defense also make him susceptible to strong special attacks. All in all, if you play Pinsir to his strengths, he won't disappoint you.
This set takes advantage of Pinsir's tremendous Attack stat by using Swords Dance to boost it to a whopping 698, which is enough to allow Pinsir to OHKO or 2HKO the entire metagame with his great coverage. X-Scissor is Pinsir's main attack, destroying almost every Pokemon who doesn't resist it. Close Combat hits Rock- and Steel-types for super effective damage, while Earthquake is also a viable option over Close Combat. Thanks to Mold Breaker, Earthquake even hits Pokemon with the ability Levitate, most importantly Rotom and Weezing, who would wall Pinsir otherwise. Close Combat is still usually the preferred option, as it's stronger and has a great chance of OHKOing 252 HP / 252 Def Impish Registeel after a Swords Dance boost (it always OHKOes after Stealth Rock damage if Registeel switches in on it). Finally, Stone Edge destroys Altaria, Articuno, and Moltres, who would otherwise wall Pinsir.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Pinsir can work as an effective anti-lead against many common UU leads by balancing considerable attack power with decent physical bulk and Speed. This set makes great use of one of the only moves not shared by Pinsir and his little brother Heracross: Stealth Rock. Although Stealth Rock is an important tool for almost all teams, in this set it takes a back seat to attempting to KO the opposing lead.
X-Scissor is another move that Pinsir has that Heracross does not, and although it sacrifices a massive amount of power compared to Heracross's Megahorn, it boasts perfect accuracy, which is especially important at the start of the game. X-Scissor is very useful for Pinsir, allowing him to 2HKO Uxie and Mesprit while also scoring powerful hits on Alakazam, Ambipom, and Electrode. Alakazam and Electrode can then be disposed of with Quick Attack, the third competitive move that Heracross does not have. Unfortunately, Adamant X-Scissor + Quick Attack only has an average shot to 2HKO Ambipom, and Pinsir will also lose to Life Orb-boosted Fake Out + Return. Close Combat is another good tool for Pinsir to use, since it can easily OHKO Ambipom. It is also useful to hit Cloyster, Rhyperior, Registeel, and Steelix for super effective damage. However, it is illegal with Quick Attack, so you should think carefully before using it. Hence, Close Combat pairs well with Stone Edge to hit Flying- and Fire-types, and Quick Attack pairs well with Earthquake to beat Rock-, Steel-, and Poison-types.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Pinsir makes good use of Choice items thanks to his great Attack and decent Speed stats, similarly to Choice Heracross in OU. X-Scissor is again Pinsir's STAB move of choice, hitting Psychic- and Grass-types such as Slowbro, Uxie, Tangrowth, and Leafeon extremely hard. Earthquake and Stone Edge form the infamous EdgeQuake combo, which gives Pinsir almost perfect coverage with only two moves. Earthquake benefits from Mold Breaker, as it negates Levitate. Finally, Close Combat hits Rock- and Steel-types, such as Registeel, Regirock, and Rhyperior, harder than Earthquake can, 2HKOing all of the aforementioned foes.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Bulk Up is an option, but Pinsir's terrible Special Defense makes it unappealing. Similarly, a mono-attacker set with Bulk Up, X-Scissor, Rest, and Sleep Talk can be used, but with Pinsir's pitiful Special Defense, such a set is not recommended. Brick Break and Superpower are also options, but Close Combat is a much better choice. They should only be considered when Pinsir is running Quick Attack, as Close Combat + Quick Attack is an illegal combination. Flail with Endure or Substitute can also be used, but it's very unreliable. Faint Attack is Pinsir's only attack to hit Ghosts super effectively, but its poor Base Power makes it a lackluster option. Knock Off and Toxic are options for crippling walls, but Pinsir is much better off simply attacking.
Checks and Counters
Hariyama is quite bulky and can take Pinsir's attacks with ease, making him an excellent counter. Hitmontop can do the same thanks to Intimidate, but Pinsir could be running Hyper Cutter as his ability, so Hitmontop must be wary. Most Fire-types such as Arcanine, Entei, Typhlosion, Houndoom, Magmortar, and Moltres can outspeed and KO Pinsir, especially if they are carrying a Choice Scarf, but if Pinsir is carrying a Choice Scarf of his own, they will have problems with Earthquake or Stone Edge. Similarly, Flying-types such as Scyther and Swellow can KO Pinsir with Aerial Ace or Brave Bird, but Stone Edge will destroy them. Rhyperior and Regirock can also beat Pinsir with Stone Edge, while Registeel can paralyze him with Thunder Wave, rendering him useless. Spiritomb and Dusclops can burn Pinsir with Will-O-Wisp, turning him into deadweight. Finally, Stealth Rock is Pinsir's biggest problem, since when the floating horror is on the field, Pinsir loses 25% of his health upon switching in, thus giving a lot of Pokemon the opportunity to OHKO him.

Developing Applications for the Cloud on the Microsoft® Windows Azure™ Platformby Matias Woloski Eugenio Pace Dominic Betts Scott Densmore Ryan Dunn Masashi Narumoto
This book is the second volume in a planned series about Windows Azure technology platform. Volume 1, Moving Applications to the Cloud on the Windows Azure Platform, provides an introduction to Windows Azure, discusses the cost model and application life cycle management for cloud-based applications, and describes how to migrate an existing ASP.NET application to the cloud. This book demonstrates how you can create from scratch a multi-tenant, Software as a Service (SaaS) application to run in the cloud by using the latest versions of the Windows Azure tools and the latest features of the Windows Azure platform. The book is intended for any architect, developer, or information technology (IT) professional who designs, builds, or operates applications and services that run on or interact with the cloud. Although applications do not need to be based on the Microsoft Windows® operating system to work in Windows Azure, this book is written for people who work with Windows-based systems. You should be familiar with the Microsoft .NET Framework, Microsoft Visual Studio® development system, ASP.NET MVC, and Microsoft Visual C#® development tool.
Moving Applications to the Cloud on the Microsoft Azure™ Platformby Matias Woloski Eugenio Pace Dominic Betts Scott Densmore Ryan Dunn Masashi Narumoto
http://deli.oreilly.com/tmp/tmpAaaX_Efferent geographical areas, you can move your content closer to the people who are using it most. If an application is heavily used in Asia, have an instance running in a data center located there. This kind of flexibility may not be available to you if you have to own all the hardware. Another advantage to the cloud is that it's a pay as you go proposition. If you don't need it, you don't have to pay for it. When demand is high, you can scale up, and when demand is low, you can scale back. Yes, by moving applications to the cloud, you're giving up some control and autonomy, but you're also going to benefit from reduced costs, increased flexibility, and scalable computation and storage. The Windows Azure Architecture Guide shows you how to do this.

Observing Ramadan? There's an app for that
Aug 11, 2010 06:27 PM »
Funny article..... but true I always have some kind of prayertimes installed...
Observing Ramadan? There's an app for that
PATERSON, N.J. – The most ancient traditions of Islam are going high-tech, with a slew of modern offerings for those observing the holy month of Ramadan, which begins this week.
Cell phone applications such as "iPray" or "iQuran" offer a beeping reminder of requisite prayer times, while the "Find Mecca" and "mosque finder" programs help the Muslim traveler in an unfamiliar city find the nearest place to pray.
"When I saw these applications for the first time, I thought: this is amazing," said James Otun, who has several Islamic applications on his Apple iPhone and iPad. "Whoever came up with this idea: God bless him or her."
The applications aren't just for Ramadan; there are Islamic-themed programs that help users find the nearest Costco offering foods prepared according to Islamic dietary rules, learn the correct Arabic pronunciations in a daily prayer, or count how many pages of the Quran they've read that day — all on a mobile phone.
There also are applications, or apps, for the holy books of several other religions, from the Catholic Holy Bible to the Bhagavad Gita, a sacred Hindu scripture.
The first time Sumeyye Kalyoncu heard the Adhan — or call to prayer — through surround-sound speakers on her iPhone dock, she was overcome with nostalgia for her native Turkey. Such applications are especially popular in the U.S., Kalyoncu said, as U.S. mosques do not broadcast daily calls to prayer from external loudspeakers, as they do in Muslim countries.
"These are traditions and these have been in our lives for ages, like almost 15 centuries, so they seem very old," Kalyoncu said. "I think this is like combining together the technology and the things that we do daily."
Kalyoncu uses an iPhone app called iPray Lite, keeping track of requisite daily prayers with a program that simulates the clicking sound of prayer beads or the turning wheel of a handheld metal counter Muslims use to keep count of prayer repetitions. Using headphones, the 24-year-old says she can now fulfill her daily spiritual obligations by counting prayers on her iPhone on the commuter bus to Manhattan from her Edgewater home.
Apple spokeswoman Trudy Muller said the company doesn't track the more than 225,000 apps for its phones by category so she doesn't know how many are Islamic-themed. The programs aren't just offered by Apple; Nokia has a Ramadan suite for its cell phones that consolidates everything worshippers need to know to observe Islam's holiest month, in which Muslims worldwide observe daily daylight fasting.
Some apps are free. Those that are not generally range from about 99 cents to $2.99, although some are more expensive.
The dates of Ramadan still are determined by the lunar calendar, and calculations can differ among Islamic communities around the world. In North America, many Muslims will mark the first day of Ramadan on Wednesday.
But Islam never has been at odds with innovation, said Zinnur Tabakci, who runs an Islamic religious book and gift shop in Paterson, N.J..
"Islam is not against technology. Now you can do it easier, faster," said Tabakci, who recently supplemented the strings of traditional prayer beads and religious texts he sells with a wall of mobile phone accessories to keep up with demand.
"Islam started 1,400 years ago, and at that time, they didn't have that much technology, but they knew everything," he added.
The mosque Tabakci attends in Paterson, called Ulu Cami, or "Great Mosque," has gone high-tech, too. After 16 cameras were installed for security purposes, one innovative mosque attendee began using them to broadcast services live over the Internet so those too old, sick or otherwise unable to attend could watch daily prayers online from home. Mosque leaders say the live broadcasts have become especially popular among relatives of immigrants who like to tune in from overseas to hear the same prayers as their loved ones in New Jersey.
Otun, a technology aficionado, says the apps he uses on his iPhone and iPad make him a more observant Muslim. From the beeping reminder to stop and pray during his busy schedule running a limo service, to an app that tells him which nearby restaurants serve food prepared within Islamic guidelines, Otun says there's no longer an excuse to live an unobservant life.
"If you forgot to pray, you might not be responsible, because you're human; you forget and you can make it up later," said Otun, 35. "But not now that you have those apps, that might change things in God's level."
Otun's favorite application, called Find Mecca, is a compass-like program with an electronic indicator that changes from red to green when you've reached the requisite prayer angle of 58-degrees, Northeast, to ensure you're facing Mecca from any location — a requirement of all Muslims when praying.
Otun said he was amazed to see an image of Mecca on his cell phone screen for the first time, and to realize he could carry a library of religious texts with him everywhere.
"iPhone makes you emotional," he said. "I can't carry 10,000 pages of books, now, you have it in your phone — it's priceless."

Asalaamu Alaikum
It is actually amazing what you can download on to your phone nowadays.
If it helps and assists in fulfilling religious duties, then surely it has to be a good thing.
I still can't get used to reading Qur'an on a phone though, but maybe it's because I'm too attached to turning pages rather than scrolling
Say: "O ye my servants who believe! Fear your Lord, good is (the reward) for those who do good in this world. Spacious is God's earth! those who patiently persevere will truly receive a reward without measure!" [39:10]

AUSTIN -- Austin firefighters had to fight through flames to rescue two children trapped in a house after a fire broke out early Monday morning.
All seven individuals sleeping in the structure that caught fire were taken to hospital. A pregnant 16-year-old and a 65-year-old man were both airlifted to a hospital in San Antonio. A 16-year-old girl and an 11-year-old-girl were airlifted to a hospital in Galveston. All four are being treated for smoke inhalation in burn units.
Three teenage boys were treated and released from University Medical Center Brackenridge and Dell Children's Medical Center for minor injuries.
Fire crews had to run through flames to rescue two children trapped in the back bedroom of the house. The room had no windows.
AFD said a woman sleeping in a small building near the house woke up to screams from the people in the back room. The woman reportedly ran out to a side window of the house and tried to pull off a window air conditioning unit so those inside the room could escape.
Battalion Chief Palmer Buck with Austin Fire Department said the blaze broke out at 5:15 a.m. on East 14th Street near Alamo Street. Firefighters quickly extinguished the flames.
The fire shut down several blocks of the street to make room for emergency crews.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation. Investigators posted signs asking the public for information. They have not ruled out accidental causes, but have also not ruled out arson.
"At this point we are considering all possibilities. There's no way for us to point a finger in one direction or another," said arson investigator Lt. Daniel Fiero.

Apartment complex numbers to continue growingFargo, ND (WDAY TV) - If you feel like you're seeing an unusual amount of apartment buildings popping up in Fargo -- you are -- numbers this year are well above of normal.
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - If you feel like you're seeing an unusual amount of apartment buildings popping up in Fargo -- you are -- numbers this year are well above of normal.
Demand is so high right now, developers are flip flopping commercial plots to put up apartments.
It's pretty easy for a builder to know if a new apartment will fill. There are quarterly stats released on vacancy rates and right now it's crazy low.
Go downtown Fargo, up by campus or down in the south end of town -- you will see apartments going up.
Jim Gilmour, Fargo City Planner: "They're taking commercial land and changing zoning to apartments because commercial land there's not as much demand."
Developers tell the city they're planning for more room for apartments because that's the first thing that will sell.
City planner Jim Gilmour broke down the numbers for us.
The city approved 23 new apartment buildings this year, it's a total of 734 new individual units.
Gilmour: "It's not unusual for us to have 500 apartments. People who build apartments are looking for more and more sites."
Gilmour says the reason for the spike is the vacancy rate. It's at 2.3% right now.
Compare that to the last 4 years:
In 2011 4.7%,
2010 5.8%
2009 5.1%
2008 5.3%
And that's why the city has seen growth go from steady to booming.
Gilmour: "If the vacancy rate gets above 6% we don't see many apartments being built when it gets below 5% building continues and below 4 % it really picks up."
Gilmour says it looks like the spike will go into next year.
The reason, there are more people in their 20s in Fargo than projected. Gilmour says it could be more students sticking around or younger people moving here for work.
