Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad inspects centrifuges at a uranium enrichment plant.
Reporting for the New York Times, David Sanger confirms what internet security researchers suspected all along: Stuxnet, the worm that targeted computers in Iran's central nuclear enrichment facilities, was a US/Israeli project and part of an expanded effort at cyberweaponry by the Obama administration.
Mr. Obama decided to accelerate the attacks — begun in the Bush administration and code-named Olympic Games — even after an element of the program accidentally became public in the summer of 2010 because of a programming error that allowed it to escape Iran's Natanz plant and sent it around the world on the Internet. Computer security experts who began studying the worm, which had been developed by the United States and Israel, gave it a name: Stuxnet.
At a tense meeting in the White House Situation Room within days of the worm's "escape," Mr. Obama, Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and the director of the Central Intelligence Agency at the time, Leon E. Panetta, considered whether America's most ambitious attempt to slow the progress of Iran's nuclear efforts had been fatally compromised.
"Should we shut this thing down?" Mr. Obama asked, according to members of the president's national security team who were in the room.
Told it was unclear how much the Iranians knew about the code, and offered evidence that it was still causing havoc, Mr. Obama decided that the cyberattacks should proceed. In the following weeks, the Natanz plant was hit by a newer version of the computer worm, and then another after that. The last of that series of attacks, a few weeks after Stuxnet was detected around the world, temporarily took out nearly 1,000 of the 5,000 centrifuges Iran had spinning at the time to purify uranium.

I came here to say "well, Duh!", but you found a Much more interesting way of conveying the concept, kudos.
ChrisO says:
I'm sure now that the program is public, the administration will move quickly to establish guidelines for how it will be used moving forward. I'm sure they'll want to arrange a process for congressional approval and justice department oversight. What qualifies countries for being targeted? Can the president decide to use it against China if they veto something in the U.N. security council? Can he use it against domestic organizations? Corporations? The EFF? Facebook users who post certain keywords? I'm glad all these questions will be promptly addressed.
Christopher Lee says:
We could, like, make a petition for it. You know, online.
danarmak says:
Don't worry, the US Govt. hasn't and most likely won't publicly acknowledge Stuxnet. The NYT article's alleged sources are not named. The US will not even have to pass a law to use "cyberweapons" against internal dissidents.

Phil Fot says:
I'm not a fan of Iran nor desirous of nuclear weapons spreading any more than they have.
I don't think government malware attacks was the way to go here. The US has said before that it would consider such an attack as an act of war if perpetrated upon us.
So WTF? Which clown decided that it was okay to possibly cause a radioactive incident?
Fucking governments are more trouble than they are worth.

Agreed. If Iran does develop nuclear weapons, we'll never know whether it was already going to or because of these acts of war against it.
Ian Wood says:
Mr. Member Of The President's National Security Team Who Was In The Room is always a reliable source. Not quite as reliable as that Beltway power couple, the Current And Former American European And Israeli Officials. And of course no one has the inside track like Burt A.

Greg Webster says:
How about a class-action lawsuit from large companies that had to expend additional resources to ensure they are safe from a government-created virus? The industry I work in (lumber and pulp production) uses similar and identical PLCs as were targeted at the Iranian nuclear facility, and it was a real concern over our vulnerability.
Joshua Bardwell says:

Teller says:
President Will Smith and Prime Minister Jeff Goldblum strike again.
Kozmund says:
For the tl;dr crowd, there's one thing hilarious, and one thing manipulative you can take away.
The Hilarious: The US government tested a bunch of code out on shitty centrifuges nearly identical to the Iranian ones. Where did the US government get them? Why obviously from AQ Khan by way of Qadaffi. When they gave up their WMD program, they gave the US the same centrifuges that all of the AQ Khan network were getting. How funny is that?
The Manipulative: In the article it's stressed repeatedly that Israel was so closely involved because they were seconds away from bombing Iran the whole time. "It totally made them feel really comfortable and in charge and stuff. Seriously, if we hadn't made Stuxnet with them, they totally would have hauled off and dropped some serious ordinance. We swear. I mean, it must have worked, as you've yet to have had bombs dropped on strategic locations, right? Right?"
Diogenes says:
Now how could a plan like that possibly backfire? We've got nothing to worry about!

so open criminal behaviour by the US once again…and americans still wonder why everyone hates them? your government is made up of charalatans and criminals.

JonS says:
In general, that's a fair point.
However, an even fairer point is that The Govt of Country X = Country X. When the Govt of Country X behaves like international asshats, it's fair to call Country X asshats. /Especially/ when the reason for calling Country X asshats is explicitly linked to the govts actions.
The vast majority of my interaction with the US is related to your govts efforts to fuck things – companies, countries, people, institutions – over on the international stage. You voted for those fuckers. If you don't like being called an asshat, then stop fucking voting for them and their continued fuckwittery.

mr_frakypants says:
Since when is action by your government against what it considers a hostile government criminal? Which police force are you going to call? Exactly which law was broken, and under what jurisdiction?
Additionally, while I'm sure there are some small-minded bigots in the world who hate "americans" in general, most of the people I've met internationally feel nothing of the sort.
Additionally-additionally, please point me to a government that isn't made up of charlatans and criminals. No, really. Please point me to one so I can take my family there.
ocker3 says:
There's breaking the law, and there's breaching ethical mores. Every nation engages in some kind of clandestine spy program, but something on this scale is going to hurt America's image, a Lot.
mr_frakypants says:
I understand the distinction, and agree that the wrong moves can hurt your reputation internationally. I was specifically responding to peterblue11′s comment that this was criminal, and that it was why "everyone" hates Americans. I think it probably had the desired primary effect on the governments of hostile nations: i.e. "oh shit". Of course, it has probably begun an arms-race mentality far and wide, which would be a negative secondary effect.

kafantaris says:
Only four countries had the technical know-how to develop the Flame virus: "Israel, the U.S., China and Russia."
Since the virus was obviously intended for Iran, we can eliminate its friends China and Russia.
This leaves only Israel and us.
Having thoroughly demonized Iran, anything we do to it has become fair game.
But there is nothing fair or right about taking another country's data. Certainly we would not want China or Russia taking our data and spreading it to 80 separate servers.
As a leader of the world community aspiring for governance through universal fairness, we can no longer afford to follow the beaten path of expediency chosen by Israel. Doing so will not only deprive us of our moral authority, but will also squander our unique opportunity to fashion a more just and fair world.

Wait a second…are you saying we launched a cyber attack against the same program that we were funding the whole time? Better than fiction, folks! http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/02/24/1068036/-Flashback-U-S-Funding-Iranian-Nuclear-Program

No one has ever died from a cyber virus. I like this alternative better than a troop invasion.
I can't wait for major government agencies to start handing each other secret notes on paper again. Soon, it may be against protocol to email, cyber chat, text, twit, leave voice mails and the such. It's all going old school baby!

dog3 says:
Comparing this situation to another country infecting the U.S. government's own computer system is extremely disingenuous. Iran has been sanctioned by the U.N. five times since 2006, yet continues refusing to allow weapons inspectors into its facilities and continuing its uranium enrichment program. If the U.S. repeatedly violated international sanctions and standards, then yes, other countries would be completely justified in crippling its government's computer systems to prevent or slow further violation.
Antinous / Moderator says:

When you refer to the UN, do mean that same UN that allows the US to veto things even if every other country on the planet votes for them?
dog3 says:
I'm not going to defend the U.N.'s effectiveness; their veto rules are insanely counterproductive. But it should be pointed out that even Russia and China, which also hold veto power, have agreed to the sanctions on Iran despite their countries' cozy relationships with it. If anything, the fact that the U.N. managed to pass sanctions at all shows just how united the international community is on the matter of Iran's uranium enrichment program.
Fábio Emilio Costa says:
When the Brazilian ambassador Sérgio Vieira de Mello suggest an inspection for Iran, Israel and US, people kicked him like a dog to Iraq, where he lost his life…
dog3 says:
Follow up:
I would like to clarify that my above comment does mean that I would have been completely OK with another country, say…France, sending a virus to the U.S.'s network too, if it could have prevented or slowed the U.S.'s illegal invasion of Iraq. So it cuts both ways.

We have a small policy on me and a larger (but relatively small compared to others in this thread) term life policy on DH. We also have a small AD&D policy on DH (same benefit amount as term policy, but half the premium cost because it doesn't cover health-related death). The 10 year term policy ends soon and we'll be deciding how we wish to proceed. We chose to cover our mortgage and cremation costs (our preference) and a few months income, which becomes more months as the mortgage shrinks. We also choose to save through a variety of investments (highest percentage is very safe) and have a year's worth of expenses in those accounts. We have additional funds, also, and excellent credit. Without a mortgage, all those funds would last several years, especially since those expenses are based on a family of three. Without me, DH & DD would have my retirement account (over a year's worth of expenses today). Without DH, DD & I would have his retirement account (about a year's worth of expenses today). Both of those retirement funds would be DD's if both of us were to pass, which is more than double my private university tuition.
If one or both of us were to pass, life would be different for the remaining family members. Regardless of life insurance payouts, life as you know it is going to change when a family member dies. In our case, the family we've asked to care for our child would not *need* any financial help (it is there anyway in a modest amount) and they have a large enough house, etc. Plus, if my dad were still living, he'd provide financially for DD indefinitely (and/or me, temporarily). DH's family would provide for him and/or our DD, if needed. No one in either family is rich, but everyone has reached financial maturity and handles finances well.
Try to remove the emotion from the situation and evaluate *your* situation independently of others. Do you have supportive family? What is the financial health of those family members? Do you own a home? What is the general fiscal policy for your immediate family (DH & you - savers/spenders, high/low-income earners, high/medium/no debt, etc)? Do you have any large debts that would need to be covered if one spouse were to pass (different laws govern this factor, too)? Age is also a consideration, as is genetic health.
I do recommend a life insurance policy for all parents, but I differ vastly on the benefit amount and relying solely on the insurance policy in the event of death. I believe in basic term life for low amounts and focusing on living life to the fullest and preparing for the future with a diverse approach. (Putting all financial eggs into the life insurance policy basket makes zero sense to me, especially when families struggle to put food on the table.) This advice applies to most, but not all people...everyone has something unique about their circumstances and those need to be taken into account.
[FWIW: I have a degree in finance and worked in securities, but none of the above is meant to be official financial advice. I am simply sharing my perspective since the OP & I have similar viewpoints.]

Monthly Wellness Horoscope for AriesPresented by Horoscope.com
You might be pushing yourself more than usual, mainly because your mind is rushing ahead of your body. You might not even notice your physical needs because your desire to get ahead could be consuming you. Over this month it helps to slow down and remember to eat well, exercise daily, and recharge your batteries. Stretching exercises might also be good since there could be times when you suffer from muscle aches and stiffness. Overall, it's a question of pacing yourself. You might also benefit from a regular massage to keep you supple or a day or two on a detox fast.

Organizer Kumira Mason said this was the third march held in Anniston this week. Mason encouraged everyone in attendance to register to vote and sign a petition asking for a civil trial for George Zimmerman, the Hispanic man acquitted of Martin's killing in Florida last week.
"For justice," Mason said, is the purpose of the events. "Not just for Trayvon Martin … but also that justice is done and served in Calhoun County."
"This is not a black and a white issue. It's everybody's issue," Mason said.
Several children held up lettered signs that spelled "Trayvon" as the crowd began their walk down Noble Street. One woman wore a T-shirt bearing the image of Martin that read, "My 'hoodie' does not mean I'm a criminal."
Tommy Diltz said he came to the rally because he wanted to show his support and sign the petition for a civil trial.
"I'm 17. It could have been me," Diltz said.
Everyone joined together singing Bill Withers' song "Lean on Me" as they walked back to the steps of the Federal Building.
Robert Montgomery of Eastaboga said he fought for his country overseas in the Army, but feels he can't expect to find justice on his own soil.
"In three months this will all be forgotten about, he'll be able to walk outside his house. Trayvon's parents will still be mourning," Montgomery said of Zimmerman. "I don't know what it's going to take."
Anniston resident Telesa Stanford told the crowd gathered once again on the steps that this trial has taught her fear.
"Trayvon Martin wasn't doing anything wrong. There was nothing for anybody to fear from him. All he did was go to the store to get some candy and he never made it home."
Several children listened to Stanford while eating Skittles, the same candy Martin had in his possession the night he was shot.
Stanford received several "Amen's" and applause when she said listening to people talk about Martin like he was a thug and his life meant nothing scared her.
"In this country they would do more to protect a dog," she said to a raucous applause from her audience.
Anniston City Councilman Seyram Selase said this was the first rally he'd attended.
Selase told the crowd it was "so sad what happened to brother Trayvon Martin, but he wasn't the first and he probably won't be the last."
The councilman said he'd like to see more attendance at Anniston council and board of education meetings to bring change to the Model City.
"It's so very important for us to get involved at the local level … Sign the petition," he said.
Mason said she's planning another rally in August on 15th Street in Anniston.

West Virginia's open records law contains ample exemptions to safeguard the public's interest as well as the privacy of individuals. But when officials and people outside government are engaged in communications that may affect the public's interests, keeping the information secret is not acceptable.
In a 2009 ruling, state Supreme Court justices looked at the issue. At the time, relying on the open records law as it existed then and remains, justices decided personal e-mails sent by public officials did not have to be made public. Only e-mails and other communications on official business or matters are subject to the law requiring release to the public, the court determined.
Clearly, that needs to be changed. Members of the House of Delegates agree. In a bill approved unanimously by the House last Wednesday, the definition of "public record" in the open meetings law would be revised.
The revision would stipulate documents, including e-mails, "prepared or received by a public body, the content or context of which, judged either by its content or context, relates to the conduct of the public's business."
It is the word "context" that makes the difference. In the 2009 case, e-mails between a then-sitting member of the Supreme Court and a coal company executive whose cases had been handled by the court were sought by The Associated Press. Both the jurist and the executive insisted the messages were entirely of a private nature. The state Supreme Court agreed they did not have to be released.
But in the context of the situation, even communications on private matters may have provided important information to the public. The House bill recognizes that.
It should be approved by the state Senate and signed into law by Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin.

Daily Convention Schedule
updated December 6, 2012
Seminars At A Glance
updated December 6, 2012
Whether you coach at the college, high school or club level the AVCA Convention offers educational sessions that are sure to make you a better coach and leader. The schedule includes 80 on-court, classroom and sand sessions with topics ranging from coaching philosophy and in-match strategy to injury prevention exercises and new drill ideas.
Seminar highlights include presentations led by Kevin Hambly, Nina Matthies, Teri Clemens, Mike Hebert, Bill Ferguson, Terry Pettit and many more. Again this year all sessions will be labeled as beginner, intermediate or advanced to help you better target the presentations of interest to you.
In addition, you won't want to miss this year's pre-convention seminar. Former Olympic coach Bill Neville, Front Range Volleyball Club Head Coach Jim Miret and several other top coaches will team up to lead the presentation, "Developing a Great Setter - Drills and Techniques from Youth to the College Level." In this special in-depth session, our group of presenters will dissect the art of developing and coaching a great setter. This facilitated program will break down the areas critical to setter success including technique, strategy, tactics, leadership and team management. The format of this six hour session will be a mix of classroom learning with on-court training and drills. This seminar is targeted to coaches at all levels, as having an understanding of the entire setting journey is crucial for coaches to move their setter from one stage to the next.
Also, back on the schedule again this year is a Super Session on Friday morning from 9:15 - 10:45 a.m. titled, "Why We Win - Elite Volleyball Coaches Offer their Strategies for Success." Is it just talent? Is it program culture? Is it preparation or training methods or bench coaching? Mick Haley, Christy Johnson-Lynch and several other top coaches will participate in a panel moderated by Kelly Sheffield on the essence of success.

Back at Mount for the last time
This is definitely quite different from when I wrote my last post.. I'm now moved back into Mount! I moved in last Thursday and had the day to get a bunch of work done at the radio station and unpack.
Friday was our retreat at the radio station that we have each year as the fall semester begins. Since I'm the new Program Director, I was in charge of planning and organizing the retreat. Basically the idea behind having that event is to get all of the newly hired directors together for a bonding experience, get ideas out in the air for the semester, start planning certain aspects of the radio station for the semester and to go off campus for a learning experience.
Every year that I've done the retreat since I've been at Mount, we always visit a big commercial radio station. While this is usually educational, I feel like most of us have either visited a big radio station already or it's just hard for us to relate to them. These big radio stations have large budgets and people in their staff that have been working in the field for 20-30 years while we are all new to the field and trying to use this as a learning experience.
My idea this year was to visit another college radio station. That way, their directors as well as ours could share ideas with one another and maybe ask some questions that we wanted answered and improve each of our stations based on the meeting. We went to Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, Ohio. We had lunch with their directors first and then spent the rest of the time chatting about our stations.
I love WRMU, I'm sure you can tell from my blog so far, and I am always so happy to share with anyone all of the cool things we do throughout the year at the radio station. I think for both stations, the day went well. We had conversations flowing and I think we all learned a lot. They even said they want to come to Alliance and visit our radio station sometime this semester! So I will probably be setting that up and we are all excited to have them as our guests and show them where we work.
So far, classes are going well too. I've been through 3 days of school and I'm pretty sure I like all of my classes this semester :] I love school and I love learning new things so I'm happy to be back in the classroom. Also, it's my last semester so it's a little bittersweet. I'm very excited to graduate and get a job but I love Mount, classes and my friends so I'll definitely be sad to leave. I guess that just means I'll have to make the most of my last semester!
Hope everyone is having a great start to their new school year. Have a good week!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Very cool, very simple & laid back. Thick paper that did well in the mail, plus I saved on envelopes. Lets be honest, most people don't save your Save the Date's... save money where you can! I also got the matching magnets for close family and friends that I knew would appreciate it :)"
"It was really easy to personalise our names and colour specifications. All our guests have commented on how great the save the date looks and the idea of it being a magnet means it won't get lost on a shelf after al the time and effort that goes into choosing the perfect item. Our product arrived less than a week after ordering (only 2 days after approving the proof)- what great service."
"We are extremely pleased with this postcard Save the Date! We chose the black background with white text. It is absolutely gorgeous! We are going for a "classic modern" style with our wedding, and this was perfect. The paper is great quality, the text is easy to read, and it's a bonus to only spend 33 cents for each postcard stamp! It was very convenient to be able to add a message to the back to let our guests know about our wedding website. The proof/approval process was easy, and we received our order 3 days earlier than expected. We highly recommend this product!"
"I was concerned with ordering my save the dates on line but they were so inexpensive i thought why not, They arrived a week early and were beautiful! Thick, high quality resolution and exactly a promised. I could not be happier with these cards."
"These are very pretty cards. I ordered them in the purple shade as our wedding colors were along that color palette. The quality is phenomenal. I expected a little more vava-voom as did many others in my wedding party but they did the job of announcing our wedding date successfully."

World Development
The Multi-Disciplinary International Journal Devoted to the Study and Promotion of World Development
See also Elsevier's Geography and Economics portals
World Development is a multi-disciplinary monthly journal of development studies. It seeks to explore ways of improving standards of living, and the human condition generally, by examining potential solutions to problems such as: poverty, unemployment, malnutrition, disease, lack of shelter, environmental degradation, inadequate scientific and technological resources, trade and payments imbalances, international debt, gender and ethnic discrimination, militarism and civil conflict, and lack of popular participation in economic and political life.
Contributions offer constructive ideas and analysis, and highlight the lessons to be learned from the experiences of different nations, societies, and economies. World Development recognizes 'development' as a process of change involving nations, economies, political alliances, institutions, groups, and individuals. Development processes occur in different ways and at all levels: inside the family, the firm and the farm; locally, provincially, nationally, and globally. Our goal is to learn from one another, regardless of nation, culture, income, academic discipline, profession or ideology. We hope to set a modest example of enduring global cooperation through maintaining an international dialogue and dismantling barriers to communication.

Comfort is key with Logitech keyboards
Tap happiness
2 million keystrokes. Every day.
That's how much the average person types every year, according to a study by Harvard. (Dennerlein 2006)
If you sit at your computer hour after hour, day after day, all those key presses can really add up. Fortunately, you can do something about it. Logitech keyboards have a variety of comfort features to help keep your body happy.
Comfort Wave Design: Curve + Wave + Palm Rest
Your fingers vary in length—but most keyboards treat them all the same. Our Wave keyboards have a gradual wave-shaped contour to support the varying lengths of your fingers and keep the pressure off your fingertips.
To keep you from having to twist into an unnatural position when you type, we threw in a curve. Gently curving rows of keys support the natural resting position of your hands without splitting the keyboard. After all, you shouldn't have to relearn how to type to be comfortable.
A cushioned, contoured palm rest helps position your hands comfortably on the keyboard. Plus, it gives you a cushy place to rest your palms when you're not typing.
See all Wave keyboards
Learn more about the Wave keyboard design
Zero Degree Tilt™: A real natural
Chances are your standard keyboard makes you take some non-standard positions. You see, traditional keyboards have higher keys in the back than the front, causing you have to angle your palms and fingers upward.
Our keyboards with Zero Degree Tilt™, on the other hand, have a flat design that lets your wrists stay in a more neutral position while you type. You won't need to extend your wrists as much, either.
Perfectly PerfectStroke
Logitech PerfectStroke™ key system combines the benefits of a laptop keyboard with those of a stand-alone keyboard to give you a perfectly pleasant typing experience.
Clickety-clack. For those of you old enough to remember, it isn't the sound of that old electric typewriter that you miss so much, it's the way the keys felt under your fingers.

Alabama Cooperative Extension professionals will answer these questions and more in a free webinar series beginining next month. Alabama Extension entomologist Dr. Kathy Flanders says the "Don't Bug Me" series, which focuses on fire ants and other insects that affect the home and landscape, is designed for homeowners and the general public.
"The webinars are specifically for ordinary people who need answers they can use," Flanders said.
Dani Carroll, a regional home grounds agent with the Alabama Cooperative Extension System, will host the inaugural webinar, "Fire Ant Home Remedies — What Works, What Doesn't," at 1 p.m. Friday.
"Do a web search, and you will find lots of sites with home remedies for fire ant control," said Carroll. "They are all over the Internet. This webinar will help ordinary people learn what works and what doesn't."
The first webinar will also feature Wizzie Brown, a Texas A&M AgriLife Extension specialist working in integrated pest management who will debunk some myths about dealing with fire ants. Brown says she will begin by explaining some of the less toxic, but still effective, methods for managing fire ants.
Carroll — known to regular readers of The Star for her column On Gardening, which often appears on this page — explains that the "Don't Bug Me" series offers credible expertise and field-tested data.
"This first webinar, and the rest of the series, will give people sound, research-based solutions for pests from some of the top experts in the nation," Carroll said.
The "Don't Bug Me" series is sponsored by the Alabama Cooperative Extension and eXtension, the online educational network of the Cooperative Extension System. Live webinars will air the first Friday of each month at 1 p.m. and will last 30 to 45 minutes. Flanders tells those who cannot tune in for the live webinar not to worry.
"The webinars will be recorded and archived," she said. "If you miss one, you will be able to watch a recording later."
Other scheduled webinars include "Ants, Ants, Ants" in March, "You Have Fire Ants Where?" in April, "Protect Your Loved Ones from Fire Ants" in May and "Get Rid of those Bed Bugs" in June. As upcoming webinars approach, check http://www.extension.org/pages/66408 for more information.

Singh takes lead in BMW
|Rory McIlroy, left, of Northern Ireland, shakes hands with Tiger Woods after they both birdied the 18th hole during the second round of the BMW Championship PGA golf tournament at Crooked Stick Golf Club in Carmel, Ind., Friday, Sept. 7, 2012. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast)
CARMEL, Ind. — Vijay Singh keeps giving himself chances to end four years without a PGA Tour victory. He made four birdies around the turn Friday for a 6-under 66 in the BMW Championship, putting his name atop the leaderboard for the second time in his last four tournaments.
It won't get any easier the rest of the way.

The standards the Convention Industry Council uses in the Certified Meeting Professional program will be updated, broadened, and renamed the CMP International Standards early next year.
The CMP standards, which are updated every five years, have always been called the CMP Blueprint. That name will change to the CMP International Standards with the next update, scheduled for release in January 2012. The change was made to reflect the broadening scope of the standards to include internationally relevant best practices. "Given that more than 14,000 meeting industry professionals from 46 countries have earned the CMP designation, globalizing the standards was a natural progression," stated Karen Kotowski, CMP, CAE, chief executive officer of the CIC.
Like the CMP Blueprint, the CMP International Standards will serve as a comprehensive body of knowledge for the meetings industry and outline the competencies required to be successful in the meetings profession. The document guides the development of the CMP examination. In addition to best practices for international meeting professionals, the new update will provide a greater level of detail when describing and categorizing industry knowledge, ability, and skills. However, meeting professionals will not see sweeping changes with the new standards.
CIC incorporated findings from the Canadian Tourism Human Resource Council's Event Management International Competency Standard as well as Meeting Professionals International's Meetings and Business Events Competency Standard. "To have a globally relevant certification administered by a respected organization means a great deal not only to our volunteer advisers and leaders who have contributed to this initiative, but also to the thousands of members and colleagues we have around the world," said Bruce MacMillan, president and CEO of MPI. "And the alignment of the Meetings and Business Events Competency Standards further solidifies the relevance of the CMP designation worldwide."
To coincide with the adoption of the CMP International Standards, CIC will switch to computer-based testing in the second quarter of 2012. Meeting professionals will be able to select among more than 10,000 testing facilities in 166 countries.
The CMP International Standards will go into effect after the January 2012 CMP exam. Until then, the test's guiding document will remain the CMP Blueprint. For more information and a complete list of upcoming exam dates, visit conventionindustry.org.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - The Kentucky Derby Festival is asking for the public's help convincing the University of Louisville men's and women's basketball teams to be grand marshals of this year's Pegasus Parade.
KDF has launched a social media campaign inviting the teams to participate in the parade. Festival organizers are asking fans to share and retweet their posts on KDF's Facebook (www.facebook.com/DerbyFest) and Twitter (www.twitter.com/kyderbyfestival) pages.
This year's Republic Bank Pegasus Parade is themed "Now, That's Entertainment!" and will march down Broadway on Thursday, May 2. Tickets are still available and can be purchased by calling 502-584-FEST. The parade will air live at 5:30 p.m. on WAVE 3, its exclusive home since 1982.
University of Kentucky men's basketball coach John Calipari and his coaching staff, which led the Wildcats to their eighth NCAA championship in April 2012, served as honorary grand marshals of last year's Pegasus Parade.

Growler shared by Mike (AgentZero). Served in a Hill Farmstead glass.
A - A finger of tan foam settles to some wisps, a thick collar, and splotches of lace. Very dark brown, with lighter glints at the edges of the glass.
S - Nice collection of caramel, anise, milk chocolate, toffee, and cocoa powder. Captures the intensified sweetness and roast of the style well.
T - Taste is roasted malts, nuts, yeasty bread, and light char. Not nearly as sweet as the aroma suggests, with more dry and toasty malt character to it.
M - Smooth medium body with a lower level of carbonation. Dry and surprisingly clean finish, without any obvious alcohol presence.
D - Good stuff. An enjoyable take on a style that doesn't get a ton of attention in the US. I'd gladly order this if it were on-tap in Florida, and I enjoyed it significantly more than Puppy's Breath Porter.

On tap at the Cigar City tap room.
A - A dark brown beer, in the dark light of the tasting room it looked appropriately black. There is a decent tan head that left some stuff on the sides. Pretty nice looking.
S - Coffee, cocoa, something that gives a little bit of heat, perhaps some sort of spice. Good roast.
T - Actually a pretty nice beer, manages to be roasty without that being overbearing. Has a little sweetness, but not a ton of it.
M - Smooth with lower carbonation and a clean finish.
O - Pretty good beer. I liked it enough to bring a growler back to share. Don't drink a ton of these style of beer, but it's a nice experience to have every once in a while.

Thanks, Mike! Growler into Darkness tulip.
A - Pours black, tan-colored head, thin ring, wisps.
S - Chocolate, roast, slight coffee, maybe some earthy tobacco in there as well. All very solid and enjoyable.
T - Chocolate, roasted malts, slight burnt sugar sweetness, tobacco and a nice dose of light hops. Very well-rounded...the sweetness and hops are really well-balanced.
M - Medium to full body, good carbonation, creamy finish.
O - Another solid brew from CCB. I'm a fan of this style to begin with, so I have no complaints about this beer at all. Great balance, enjoyable, and a glass or two won't destroy you.

On draft at Gainesville House of Beer. Pours jet black with creamy mocha head. Very creamy mouthfeel, wow this is beautiful. Sweet sugary chocolate/lactose on the aroma. This is so creamy it feels and tastes like I'm drinking super rich chocolate milk with just a a bit of coffee bitter to balance. Pretty sweet, but very solid and lots of flavor that bursts on the palate. Really wish I would have had a chance to try Check It and See.

Pours, for all real purposes, black. The big, fluffy head, after pouring right down the middle of the pint glass, was over 2" thick. Smooth and somewhat creamy looking, retention is decent. Color of hot cocoa. A little lace left behind.
Smell is weak with wet cardboard dominant, followed by a wood note and faint cocoa and a whiff of indeterminate spice.
Taste is better with toasted malt, cocoa, a rum/whiskey note and a hint of leather. Very nice and a god balance to boot.
Full-bodied and rich with a light effervescence. Slight drying aspect at the finish.
Went great with an awesome Gethsemani Bros. fruitcake.

Hot Blooded Foreign Stout
On nitro tap at Cigar City on 8 October. Served in an American pint glass.
This sucker was a pitch black. I could put a flashlight to this thick black beer and the light would bounce right back into my eye. On top was a 1/2 an inch dark tan almost coffee brown like color head of foam. It decent retention that left behind a string of foamy rings along the edge and numerous streaks of lace around the glass.
The aroma was on the dark and roasted side of things. The aroma contained roasted malt, dark roasted coffee beans, a subtle splash of sweet caramel, raisins, a spatter of roasted hops.
The taste was heavily roasted with roastec malt, dark roasted coffee beans, a subtle taste of raisins and figs, and then it finishes up with a pinch of roasted hops. I couldn't detect any sweetness like caramel or molasses in the taste. It could have used it, but it wasn't needed.
It wasn't as dry as Death Valley during the summer. It was medium bodied with a decent level of carbonation, and a dry roasted aftertaste of roasted malt and roastec coffee beans. No sweetness in here either. The sweetness in this beer was only found in the aroma.
Overall it was a nice medium bodied dry roasted beer. Would I drink it again? I probably would if there wasn't anything on tap that I haven't had before.

Pours a deep black with a two finger tan head that fades slowly and leaves sticky lacing behind.
The aroma is of char, coffee and cocoa with earthy elements, some grassy notes, and licorice.
Earthy background balances nicely to a chocolate and coffee dominated flavor with a touch of licorice and burnt sugar edges.
Thick and chewy
Overall, enjoyable sipper.

Pours a dark dark brown. A beautiful colours with a nice touch of off-white head. Joey.... You were right, this one is definitely worth trying.
Smells rich and malty. Nce bitter roast on the nose and the tongue. A touch thinner than I'd like but very nice roast profile. This one is veery tasty. The carbonation is a bit high and the mouthfeel a bit weak but overall a solid beer and a great representation of the style

Review from notes at Cigar City's taproom on 9/9/11 for Firkin Friday.
Draft poured into a 4 oz. sampler glass.
Appearance: Poured a coffee black with a light tan head. Nice lacing.
Smell: Coffee, roasted malt, chocolate and a touch of black licorice.
Taste: Coffee and licorice up front followed by roast malt and dark chocolate in the middle before ending with a touch of hops at the finish. Aftertaste is roasted and bitter.
Mouthfeel: Full-bodied with a decent amount of carbonation.
Drinkability: Good drinkability. Goes down smooth.
Overall: Very good beer overall. This would be great on a cold winter evening.

On tap at CCB
A-Pours black with a 1/2" coffee colored head that has good retention and settles down a thin ring around the glass. Looks very good.
S-Roasted malt, dark roast coffee, a whiff of earthy hops. Smells good.
T-Dark roasted malt that is slightly rich balanced with a bitter bite of dark roast coffee, a slight earthiness that I assume comes from the hops, hints of chocolate.
M-On the heavy side of medium bodied, not quite full. Creamy, slick and coating.
O-This is definitely worth a shot, though CCB does brew better stouts. Still, I enjoyed this one from top to bottom.

Pours a dark black color with a thick mocha three finger head that sticks around for a while, crazy head retention. Aroma of strong roasted malts, coffee, bitterness from the hops sweetness from the malts and licorice in the back. Taste follows the nose just intensified. Slightly dry but not dry stout level. Moderate mouthfeel. This is a great middle of the road stout.

Filled my growler a couple hours ago, pouring into a pint glass. FYI, I kicked my IPA habit about a month or two ago and now am extremely hooked on rich stouts and sour Belgians.
A: Wow, Hot blooded has a eye-popping, rich dark espresso color head, really thick, texture like whip cream topping:) Settles down to leave a filmy ring around the edges. Body is pitch black but almost looks extremely dark, dark brown.
S: Creamy oatmeal right off the bat with some explosive notes of dark chocolate, milk chocolate, lightly roasted malts and undertones of coffee/espresso. Does not smell burnt or smoked so I am really looking forward to this one.
T: I'm in paradise. Smooth, rich, higher alcohol without the dominant or lingering characteristic, creamy, warm and inviting. Very complex taste but way to enjoyable to savor, like eating a snickers (a lot of rich ingredients but it goes down in one bite, all taste the same). Oatmeal gives the beer a sturdy backbone throughout, it calms down the acrid taste of dark chocolate in the beginning while softening the big punch of espresso at the end.
M: Every characteristic I'm picking up is light, a lot going on but nothing really is over the top dominant which is making the beer a lot more enjoyable compared to a porter with a heavy smoked presence or a stout with a over bearing roasty taste. Mouth feel is more like frosty from Wendy's then a beer.
O: To be honest one could take my review as a little bias because Cigar City is by far my favorite brewery. They consistently deliver choices within styles to meet anyone's taste buds. This is a perfect desert beer. I would compare it to Rogue's Chocolate Stout (which is one of the world's best) but I can enjoy Hot Blooded to the fullest extent because it is lighter, more like a bit size candy bar compared to a whole birthday cake. Love the beer, love the brewery!

On draft at Kickbacks Gastropub.
Nice, dark, black pour. Mocha/khaki head, pillowy with a solid 2 fingers of head.
Coffee, licorice and roasted nose with a pleasant dryness towards the finish.
Licorice, roasted coffee beans and a bit of chocolate in the finish. A strange character to the mid body, almost...funked. Sigh...
Prickly mouthfeel. Some signs of souring.
Overall, great beer, but I feel this is another soured beer from Cigar City. Shame.

On draft into a snifter
A dark black, nigh thick rich foamy head, nice lacing, long lasting head
S bitter cocoa, a little rotated coffee, a little oak, vanilla
T starts off with a toasty caramel than moves Ito a dry bitter chocolate middle. The end is a little bit sweet but a lot of cocoa and coffee come through. The after the has a small amount of heat behind it and lingers for a while. Is great.
M viscus, a little thick but on a good way, creamy, smooth
O fantastic stout. A little high in alcohol Tom,ale a session beer, but something you could drink often. I loved it.

I'm glad the "hello" banner ad seems to be gone, but now there is a pop-up ad that starts talking at top volume when I first open b.com in the morning. It's incredibly unprofessional for that to happen in an office environment. If you want us to listen at work, someone should be thinking about this.
The vocals on the ad start with "congratulations you have been selected . . ." I'm usually done hitting the mute button by then so I don't know what the rest of the ad says. Please dump this advertiser.

"Of course, there are times when there is pleasure," Rani Bai said. "Who does not like to make love? A handsome young man, one who is gentle . . ."
She paused for a moment, looking out over the lake, smiling to herself. Then her face clouded over. "But mostly it is horrible. The farmers here, they are not like the boys of Bombay."
"And eight of them every day," her friend Kaveri said. "Sometimes ten. Unknown people. What kind of life is that?"
"We have a song," Rani said. " 'Everyone sleeps with us, but no one marries us. Many embrace us, but no one protects.' "
"Every day, my children ask, 'Who is my father?' They do not like having a mother who is in this business."
"Once, I tried to open a bank account with my son," Rani said. "We went to fill in the form, and the manager asked, 'Father's name?' After that, my son was angry. He said I should not have brought him into the world like this."
"We are sorry we have to do this work. But what is the alternative?"
"Who will give us jobs? We are all illiterate."
"And the future," Kaveri said. "What have we to look forward to?"
"When we are not beautiful, when our bodies become ugly, then we will be all alone."
"If we live long enough to be old and to be ugly," Kaveri said. "So many are dying."
"One of our community died last week. Two others last month."
"In my village, four younger girls have died," Kaveri said. "My own brother has the disease. He used to be a truck driver, and knew all the girls along the roads. Now he just lies at home drinking, saying, 'What difference does it make? I will die anyway.' "
She turned to face me. "He drinks anything he can get," she said. "If someone told him his own urine had alcohol in it, he would drink that, too." She laughed, but harshly. "If I were to sit under a tree and tell you the sadness we have to suffer, the leaves of that tree would fall like tears. My brother is totally bedridden now. He has fevers and diarrhea." She paused. "He used to be such a handsome man, with a fine face and large eyes. Now those eyes are closed, and his face is covered with boils and lesions."
"Yellamma never wanted it to be like this," Rani said.
"The goddess is sitting silently," Kaveri said. "We don't know what feelings she has about us. Who really knows what she is thinking?"
"No," Rani said, firmly shaking her head. "The goddess looks after us. When we are in distress, she comes to us. Sometimes in our dreams. Sometimes in the form of one of her children."
"It is not the goddess's doing."
"The world has made it like this."
"The world, and the disease."
"The goddess dries our tears," Rani said. "If you come to her with a pure heart, she will take away your sadness and your sorrows. What more can she do?"
We had come to Saundatti, in the southern Indian state of Karnataka, to see the goddess Yellamma—Rani Bai, Kaveri, and I. (The names of the two women have been changed.) We had driven over that morning from the town of Belgaum, through the rolling green plains of cotton country. The women, who had been dedicated to Yellamma when they were children, normally took the old slow bus to visit her temple, so they had jumped at the chance to make the journey in the comfort of a taxi.
It was hot and muggy, not long after the end of the rains, and the sky was bright and cloudless. The road led through long avenues of ancient banyan trees, each with an intricate lattice of aerial roots. As we neared Saundatti, however, the green tunnel came to an end, and the fields on either side gave way to drier, poorer country. Trees, cane breaks, and cotton fields were replaced by strips of sunflowers. Goats picked through dusty stubble. Women in ragged clothing sold onions laid out on palm-weave mats set along the side of the road. After some time, a long red stone ridge appeared out of the heat haze. The ridge resolved itself into the great hogback of Saundatti, and at the top, rising from near-vertical cliffs, was the silhouette of the temple of Yellamma. Below, and to one side, stretched a lake of almost unearthly blue.
It was here, according to legend, that the story had begun. Yellamma was the wife of the powerful rishi Jamadagni. The couple and their four sons lived in a simple wooden hermitage by the lake. Here the sage punished his body and performed great feats of austerity. After the birth of his fourth child, these included a vow of chastity. Every day, Yellamma served her husband, and fetched water from the river for her husband's rituals. She used a pot made of sand, and carried it home in the coils of a live snake.
One day, as Yellamma was fetching water, she saw a heavenly being, a gandharva, making love to his consort by the banks of the river. It was many years since Yellamma had enjoyed the pleasures of love, and the sight attracted her. Watching from behind a rock, and hearing the lovers' cries of pleasure, she found herself longing to take the place of the beloved.
This sudden rush of desire destroyed her composure. When she crept away to get water for her husband, she found, to her horror, that she could no longer create a pot from sand, and that her yogic powers of concentration had vanished. When she returned home without the water, Jamadagni guessed what had happened, and in his rage he cursed his wife. According to Rani and Kaveri, within seconds Yellamma had become sickly and ugly, covered with boils and festering sores. She was turned out of her home, cursed to wander the roads of the Deccan, begging for alms.
