During the Season of Giving, Don't Give Out Your Personal Information
From smartphones and tablets to gaming systems and e-readers, this year's holiday wish lists are more wired than ever. Many of us will immediately load photos, user accounts, and other personal data onto our new gadgets, eager to enjoy them.
However, if you are giving or receiving the newest tech toys this holiday season, don't forget to secure new devices from cybercriminals on the hunt for personal information. Smartphones, tablets, and other electronics are now as powerful and functional as many computers. Therefore is important to protect those devices just like you protect your computer or laptop. The United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) provides the following tips to safeguard your data:
- Lock your device when you are not using it. Even if you only step away for a few minutes, it's enough time for someone else to steal or destroy your information.
- Disconnect your device from the Internet when you aren't using it. The likelihood that attackers or viruses scanning the network for available devices will target you becomes much higher if your device is always connected.
- Keep software up to date. Install software patches so that attackers cannot take advantage of known problems or vulnerabilities. Many operating systems offer automatic updates.
- Consider creating separate user accounts. If there are multiple people using the device, someone else may accidentally access, modify, or delete your information. If you have the option, create different user accounts for each user and set the access and privileges for each account.
- Establish guidelines for usage. If there are multiple people using your device, especially children, make sure they understand how to use the device safely. Setting boundaries and guidelines will help protect your data.
- Back up your data. Whether or not you take steps to protect yourself, there will always be a possibility that something will happen to destroy your data. Regularly backing up your data reduces the stress and consequences that result from losing important information.

Stop.Think.Connect.: Lookout for Cyber Monday Scams
Turkey, pumpkin pie, and football aren't the only things that are part of many Americans' Thanksgiving traditions. Deals and bargain prices have also become a part of the holiday season, and more people are going online to find them.
Cyber Monday—the Monday after Thanksgiving—is one of the biggest online shopping days of the year, providing a golden opportunity for scammers and spammers looking to take advantage of unsuspecting online shoppers. On Cyber Monday, hackers may use tactics like preying on popular keyword searches to lure shoppers to malicious websites, with the goal of collecting financial and personal information.
These simple tips can help protect your personal information and transactions on Cyber Monday and throughout the holiday season:
- Keep your computer, browser, anti-virus and other critical software up to date.
- Only buy from reputable sites and pay attention to URLs. Malicious websites may look similar to a legitimate site, but the URL may use a variation in spelling or a different domain (e.g., .com vs. .net). Also look in the address box for the "s" in https:// before any transaction. That "s" tells you that the site is taking extra measures to help secure your information.
- Beware of deals that sound too good to be true. Use caution when opening email attachments and do not follow unsolicited web links in email messages and pay special attention to extremely low prices on hard-to-get items.
- Check privacy policies. Before providing personal or financial information, check the website's privacy policy to ensure your safety.
- Use a credit card instead of a debit card. There are laws to limit your liability for fraudulent credit card charges, and you may not have the same level of protection when using your debit card.
- Keep a record of your order. Retain all documentation from the order in the event your purchase does not ship or if there are unauthorized charges on your bill.
- Check your statements. Keep a record of your purchases and copies of confirmation pages, and compare them to your bank statements. If there is a discrepancy, report it immediately.
DHS Announces Stop.Think.Connect. Campaign Partnership with the National Crime Prevention Council
The Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Stop.Think.Connect. Campaign announced a new partnership with the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC), which seeks to reduce crime by helping citizens work with law enforcement to promote cybersecurity awareness and online safety. The campaign will provide NCPC with tools and resources to educate teens, young adults and parents about how youth can protect themselves from the risk of theft, fraud and abuse online.
Pictured in the photo from left to right, the iconic McGruff the Crime Dog, Ann M. Harkins, President and CEO of NCPC, Michael Kortan, Assistant Director of the FBI Office of Public Affairs, and Suzanne Spaulding, DHS Deputy Under Secretary, National Protection and Programs Directorate, were keynotes and special guests at the event.
"Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility, and everyone must play their part," said Secretary Napolitano. "Through partnerships like this one, and initiatives like National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, the Department is reaching out to audiences of all ages on the role each of us plays in securing cyberspace."
"In today's technology-driven world we share so much personal information about our lives in 140 characters or less that we often fail to see how it can put us at risk," said NCPC President and CEO Ann M. Harkins. "Partnering with the Department of Homeland Security on cybersecurity awareness is the perfect complement to National Crime Prevention Month, which NCPC celebrates every October, asking every citizen to renew or join the commitment to help Take A Bite Out Of Crime®."
Stop.Think.Connect.is a national public awareness effort to guide the nation to a higher level of Internet safety and security by educating and empowering the American public to be more vigilant about practicing safe online habits. The campaign encourages Americans to view Internet safety and security as a shared responsibility at home, in the workplace, and in our communities.
NCPC was founded in 1982 with the goal of reducing crime by helping citizens work with law enforcement. Using a train-the-trainer model, NCPC has trained thousands of crime prevention practitioners and allies, including law enforcement personnel, educators, parents, youth, local and state government officials, and community leaders, to help them help their communities reduce crime.
This new partnership continues the Stop.Think.Connect. Campaign's ongoing outreach to the nation's youth and organizations that serve them. Recently, DHS announced partnerships with Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) America and Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

Stop.Think.Connect. Encourages You to ACT for National Cyber Security Awareness Month this October
Every day, we are more and more interconnected. We rely on the Internet for all of our day-to-day needs as it allows us to stay connected, informed, and involved. However, this increased connectivity brings increased risk of theft, fraud, and abuse - making cybersecurity one of our country's most important national security priorities.
In recognition of the importance of cybersecurity awareness, President Obama designated October 2012 as National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) as a reminder that being safer and more secure online is a shared responsibility. In other words, we should always ensure that our information and critical infrastructures remain secure and reliable for everyone.
Throughout NCSAM and beyond, you're invited to join the DHS Stop.Think.Connect. Campaign to take part and ACT - Achieve Cybersecurity Together - to ensure everyone understands their role in safeguarding and securing cyberspace, recognizes how to protect themselves and their online interests, and knows who to contact if compromised online.
Here are a few simple things businesses, schools, and home users can do to practice cybersecurity during National Cyber Security Awareness Month and throughout the year:
- Find or register a local National Cyber Security Awareness Month event.
- Show your organization's commitment to cybersecurity by signing the online endorsement form and becoming a National Cyber Security Awareness Month Champion.
- Download tip sheets on how to stay safer in a variety of online settings: on social networking sites, on gaming sites, on your mobile device, and distribute them within your community.
- Participate in the NCSA's Cyber Security Awareness Volunteer Education (C-SAVE) Program and help educate elementary, middle, and high school students about Internet safety and security.
- Add a signature block to your e-mail: "October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month. Stay Safe Online! Visit www.staysafeonline.org for the latest cybersecurity tips."

Are You Cyber Ready? Stop.Think.Connect. Commemorates National Preparedness Month
Think about this - what would you do if you received a suspicious email from a friend that only included a link? Would you click on it? What would your spouse, children, friends, or colleagues do? Phishing attacks are only one of the many complex cyber threats we face every time we go online regardless of whether we are at home, at work, or on the go. As technology advances, so do the techniques cybercriminals use to gain access to our computer networks.
To commemorate National Preparedness Month, Americans all over the country are preparing for the unexpected fire, hurricane, tornado or man-made disasters. While the devastating effects on individuals, families, and communities caused from a natural or man-made disaster are easy to see, it is much more difficult to understand the impact of a sluggish computer infected with malware or viruses.
Unlike physical threats that prompt immediate action – like stop, drop, and roll in the event of a fire – cyber threats are often difficult to identify and comprehend. However, they can be just as dangerous. Cyber preparedness can be as simple as setting up the proper controls such as the ones listed below to increase your chances of avoiding cyber risks:
- Only connect to the Internet over secure, password- protected networks.
- Do not respond to online requests for personal information; most organizations – banks, universities, companies, etc. – do not ask for your personal information over the Internet.
- Limit who you are sharing information with by reviewing the privacy settings on your social media accounts.
- Trust your gut; if you think an offer is too good to be true, then it probably is.
- Do not use the same password twice; choose a password that means something to you and you only; change your passwords on a regular basis.
Click here for more tips and guidance from www.Ready.gov on how to prepare in the event of a cyber-attack. If you feel you've been a victim of a malware attack, phishing scheme, or another cybercrime, contact your local law enforcement or the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftc.gov/complaint.
Stop.Think.Connect. Partners with the Girl Scouts of USA
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced on August 22, 2012 during the Atlanta Cyber Tour that the Girl Scouts of the USA organization has joined the Stop.Think.Connect. Campaign's National Network, forming a new partnership which will promote cybersecurity awareness to over 3.2 million youth across the country.
The Campaign will provide the Girl Scouts with tools and resources to help raise awareness among kids, teens, and young adults about emerging online threats and the importance of cybersecurity. This partnership builds on the Campaign's efforts to highlight curriculum resources available to communities, as well as to promote cyber awareness and educate America's youth about safer online practices.
"Cyber education is crucial for preparing future generations for the ever-changing cyber world," said Secretary Napolitano. "With the help of Girl Scouts of the USA, the Campaign has an opportunity to broaden cybersecurity awareness to millions of American youth engaged with the Girl Scouts program."
"This collaboration between Girl Scouts and The U.S. Department of Homeland Security will empower girls to become leaders and advocates for the safe and responsible use of technology," explains Anna Maria Chávez, Chief Executive Officer of the Girl Scouts of the USA. "We know that girls are online. As adults, it is our responsibility to create an environment that encourages girls to establish healthy online habits."
Girl Scouts of the USA was founded in 1912 with the goal of bringing girls out of isolated home environments and into community service. Through enriching experiences, such as field trips, sports skill-building clinics, community service projects, cultural exchanges, and environmental stewardships, Girl Scouts seeks to grow courageous and strong young women.

Valpo Football Announces 2011 Schedule
Related Links
Tuesday, January 18, 2011
Valparaiso University head football coach Dale Carlson has announced the Crusaders' 2011 football schedule, which is highlighted by five home games at Brown Field, including the season opener on Sept. 3.
The Brown and Gold will kick off the year under the lights against Franklin, the first of three non-conference games at the beginning of the schedule.
"It will be exciting to play Franklin under the lights in the opener," Carlson said. "They were a NCAA playoff qualifier in 2010."
Valpo then takes to the road for the final two non-conference tilts, beginning Sept. 10 at Youngstown State. One week later the Crusaders head to Pittsburgh, Pa. to take on Duquesne.
"I am looking forward to the challenge of playing Youngstown State and Duquesne," Carlson added. "It is important for us to play a challenging non-conference schedule and increase the number of FCS teams on the slate."
After a bye week, the Crusaders will open Pioneer Football League play on Oct. 1 for Homecoming when Morehead State visits Brown Field. That is the first of two straight home games as San Diego comes to town one week later.
Two straight weeks on the road will see Valpo head to Butler and Drake before returning on Oct. 29 to host Dayton. As the Crusaders begin November, a trip to Marist opens the month before the home finale on Senior Day, Nov. 12, against Campbell. The 2011 season will then come to a close one week later with a trip to Davidson.

The rules of negotiating depend on the cultural orientation of the person you are working with — so take off your American hat and put on a different one. Similarly, don't expect facilities overseas to be duplications of their America counterparts. The term conference center in Europe, for example, most often means a purpose-built facility for meetings only, with no hotel accommodations and no trade show space to speak of. To help you out when working internationally, here are some basic things to be aware of regarding negotiations, facilities, and contracts for events held outside the U.S.
Tackling Negotiations
The blunt, cut-and-dried American approach to negotiations does not often work in other countries, the Chinese, for instance, do not approach negotiations linearly at all. Building a relationship before conducting business is usually far more important outside the U.S., so expect to spend time getting to know the person you will be dealing with.
There are few countries where it is proper to expect to be quickly on a first name basis with your negotiating partner. It is better to err on the conservative side by being too formal rather than too casual.
Keep in mind, too, that time is a cultural concept. "Mañana" does not mean, necessarily, tomorrow. It just means "not today," in some Latin cultures.
Many veterans advise working with a local contact during the negotiation process as well as through the actual meeting. A destination management company, a professional congress organizer, or a sister organization based in the host country can be an invaluable asset in successfully navigating business relationships in the host country. Moreover, working with the regional offices of many international hotel chains can not only save a planner time and money in phone calls and faxes, but they can help minimize cultural misunderstandings.
Always insist on dealing with the top person in charge. In many countries, only this top person — a general manager, managing director, or international sales director, for instance — is empowered to make decisions.
When meeting outside the U.S., expect to pay substantial nonrefundable deposits, although it may be possible to negotiate a letter of credit in lieu of paying a lot of cash up front.
When not meeting face-to-face, conduct your negotiations by fax or e-mail instead of phone; it's quick, it helps alleviate language problems, and you have a written record of transactions.
Be prepared to pay for meeting room rental; meeting space is at a premium in most countries and food-and-beverage revenues account for a much higher percentage of profits in many hotels around the world. Similarly, don't expect to leverage your food and beverage expenditures to obtain lower room rates. It does, however, pay to have a very good handle on your group's REVPAR (revenue per available room), showing the entirety to your group's expenditure.
Don't leave the negotiating table without exploring the following legal questions: What will be the official language for purposes of interpreting the contract? What currency will be used for payment and when is payment expected? Will disputes be settled by international arbitration? Who has the authority to make changes in the contract?
Contracts Are Different, Too
Overseas convention center contracts, say industry veterans, can be quite complicated and may not typically offer the kinds of protection a planner in the U.S. would take for granted. For instance, many foreign venues are reluctant to accept the "acts of God" concept.
Overseas hotel contracts, on the other hand, may be one-page letters of agreement, a much more casual document than Americans are used to. Your best strategy is to push the basics in writing: rates, space, dates, and costs — especially those hidden meeting room costs like setup charges.
Be aware of the phrase "subject to standard terms and conditions." You need to get a copy of the document that details what those standard terms and conditions are. Another term to look out for: "incorporated by reference." Don't accept that phrase until you see what it means.
Unless you negotiate an attrition clause in the contract, typically you will be expected to pay for all of the meals and rooms that you book, even if your attendance is less than you anticipated.
There should also be a contingency clause in your contract. For instance, if you are conducting a meeting that involves three hotels and a convention center, the clause should state that if the center space is not available, then you can cancel out of your hotel obligations.
Make sure your organization's insurance policy is enforceable in the host country. It's a good idea to have your policy reviewed by a competent broker to make sure it covers your international event.
If you are meeting in a country that levies value-added tax, make sure the contract spells out that your supplier will break out those amounts that are for VAT on all your invoices. This will expedite the VAT-reclaim process.
Facilities: Different Names
Convention centers in Europe are used primarily for meetings, and may be what we call conference centers. Trade fair facilities are exhibit facilities with little or no meeting space.
In the U.S., convention bureaus often sell and sometimes control bookings for convention centers. Overseas centers typically can be booked directly, although bureaus will often have an important role in coordination.
Food and beverage within Asian and European facilities is usually more comparable to restaurant quality than in the U.S. If labor unions are in place, their workers act more like staff, without the complex labor jurisdictions of many U.S. facilities. In addition, technology in most major centers around the world is truly state-of-the-art.
Convention centers outside the U.S. are generally not subsidized by the government, so expect to pay more for their rental and services. Some planners advise budgeting $500 to $1,000 more per delegate and creating a contingency fund that is 15 percent to 20 percent of your budget.
Pricing structures at international convention centers differ significantly from those in U.S. facilities. Some charges that you might expect to be bundled into the basic rental charge, such as staffing fees for personnel who handle registration or coat check, could show up as line item charges. Every facility is different, so be sure to ask detailed questions about what is included in the basic rental fee.
American five-star standards of hotel rating do not apply overseas. And the classification of hotel standards by stars varies from country to country. Hotel rooms, especially in older European hotels, tend to be smaller than what Americans are used to. The best strategy is to give your attendees a heads up, so they won't be surprised.
Mega downtown hotels and resorts are not common in Europe and many parts of Asia. So a group of 300 people often has to be split up among, perhaps, three hotels. For incentive groups, it may be difficult to get rooms of equal quality, particularly if you are booking venues like castles or estate homes.
Historically there have been fewer nonsmoking and universal access rooms outside the U.S., but more of these special rooms are being made available.
There is often no convention services department in overseas hotels. In such cases, it is the food-and-beverage manager who coordinates the details with the meeting organizer.
Given the high demand and relatively limited amount of food-and-beverage space in hotels overseas, be prepared for your function space to be reset in the evening and then reset for your event in the morning.
This article appeared in our Beyond Borders series, an award-winning annual editorial supplement focusing on the needs of planners who take events outside the U.S. Look for the next Beyond Borders with the June 2006 issue of AM.
Just Remember This
The most important areas of cultural differences to be concerned about when it comes to international business relationships center around three key areas: appointments (including issues involving punctuality, appropriate scheduling, and food and beverage served), negotiations (pace of negotiations, status of individuals, finality of decisions), and business entertainment (who picks up the check, table manners, the role of alcohol, and seating arrangements).
Doing business in other countries may seem overwhelmingly complex, but if you can master the cultural protocols in these three areas, you'll go a long way toward achieving success.

So, as many of you know, I'm a graduate student getting her Masters of Mass Communications, Advertising. This semester I have been ever more absent then normal due to something very exciting – my last semester! As I finalize things for my last 2 classes I'll share with you a chapter of a book on Communication Technology… a chapter I wrote! About social and new media advertising! Very excited. Am working on getting approval to post my chapter as soon as it is edited and the such. One thing I can share with you now however is my final project. For the compilation of my 2.5 years of grad school I'm doing a final project instead of a thesis. It is one semester instead of 2 and is focused for the professional track that I'm on.
For our final projects we were to pick a non-profit organization and fulfill some need of theirs. My non-profit is Create Now, an arts mentoring program for very at-risk and high-risk kids in Southern California. The majority of these kids are in foster care or group homes, and have undergone many challenges in their lifetimes. To help the organization Jill Gurr, the founder, her AmeriCorps volunteer Laura and I came up with the concept for a talent showcase that would feature some of the kids that Create Now supports. There has been many trials and challenges on the way to getting this event accomplished but after long last it is here! 17 kids will be performing a mix of original and contemporary pieces and there will be music from a featured band, A Welcome Distraction, to cap the evening off. Please considering coming out to support these kids, you'll be glad you did! Tickets can be found here, and hurry because they are only $12 until Friday at midnight.

Regarding first review – The first review, it should be pointed out, is irrelevant. Please disregard her rantings. This is not the husband by the way LOL.
The most professional training center ever, The best training by far. – I have trained at the Seal-Mar training center and can say it is the very best. I have nothing but respect for all members of the training staff. They were the best on the Oakland Police Department. They provide the highest level of Protective Services for their Clients. All you have to do is ask anyone who has worked with them, trained with them, or observed them on the job; there is no finer example of "The Very Best". The training center allows you to concentrate on your skills and they enjoy input. The location removes all distraction from the learning process. Give yourself the pleasure of true learning perfection.

I am having a problem with cloudy flakes in my drinking water. I have a Watts Premier reverse osmosis filtration system that supplies filtered water to my refrigerator and a faucet on the kitchen sink. On occasion I will get a hard slightly yellowish flake or chip in my water. This I believe is just a chip of calcium or mineral deposit that broke loose from the system. I don't like this but this is not the problem I am trying to figure out. I have attached some pictures below of the cloudy flakes. I suspect it is part of the filters disintegrating from the RO system but not sure. I don't see the flakes when using only filtered water from the tap (room temp). If ice is involved at all I get the flakes. Its almost as if when the water is frozen the flakes form from small particles joining together. I have RO filtered water running to the refrigeratorn for ice and chilled water. I have a PUR/Whirlpool inline filter on the refrigerator also. I believe it is only a charcoal filter. I did a little experiment and attached photos of each.

On August 22nd, 1920, one of the greatest names in science fiction writing was born. Ray Bradbury spent his early childhood in the small town of Waukegan, Illinois and moved to Los Angeles, California when he turned fourteen. Life in Los Angeles led to a fascination with television and radio, and he would later write and perform in sci-fi shows such as "The Twilight Zone" and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents." Bradbury is perhaps best known for his dystopian novel, Fahrenheit 451 , which has become a staple in high school reading across the country. Sadly, Ray Bradbury passed away on June 5th of this year, but his legacy will continue to inspire writers and readers for generations. Learn more about Ray Bradbury's life and literary contributions through our Biography Databases, or check out the selection of Bradbury related titles below.
The Bradbury Chronicles -Sam Weller
Journalist Sam Weller is an avid fan of Ray Bradbury and conducted many interviews with him over the years. Using his interviews, as well as Bradbury's own letters and photos, Weller compiled one of the most comprehensive biographies of Bradbury yet. Bradbury himself is quoted on the front cover: "This is my life! It's as if somehow Sam Weller slipped into my skin and my head and my heart -it's all here." High praise indeed.
A Pleasure to Burn -Ray Bradbury
If you haven't yet read Bradbury's classic dystopian novel, Fahrenheit 451, I encourage you to check it out now. His chilling vision of a future in which books are burned to prevent free-thinking, continues to inspire discussion today and will continue to remain relevant for many years to come. If you have already encountered Fahrenheit 451, you may be interested in perusing A Pleasure to Burn, a compilation of short stories that led to the development of Bradbury's most well-known novel.
The Illustrated Man -Ray Bradbury
This is my personal favorite Bradbury novella and although I haven't read it in years, it still makes me shudder when I remember it. The illustrated man is a stranger with tattoos upon the entirety of his body. The man tells the unnamed narrator that the tattoos were placed upon him by a woman from the future, and that the tattoos come alive at night and tell him their stories. Each chapter recounts a different tattoo and a different strange and terrifying tale.
Shadow Show -Edited by Sam Weller and Mort Castle
In this compilation, some of today's best-selling authors pay homage to the man who inspired them and the incredible worlds that he created. Neil Gaiman's story The Man Who Forgot Ray Bradbury explores the relationship between readers and authors. Dave Eggers' Who Knocks? is a short, but disturbing story, reminiscent of old campfire tales. Bradbury himself opens the collection with a beautiful letter welcoming the collection of authors into his literary family, and inviting readers to take a peek at their family reunion.
If you are inspired by Ray Bradbury's works, you may want to check out his advice in this humorous book. The pages are filled with Bradbury's own experience, tips, and encouragement, giving you insight into the mind of a literary genius.

PETALING JAYA: The Residences at Putra Heights, Selangor, a luxury development by Sime Darby Property Bhd, was selected the Best Villa Development in Malaysia at the 2012 South East Asia Property Awards recently.
"This award is yet another affirmation of Sime Darby Property's commitment towards developing innovative and high quality properties that embrace sustainability," said Sime Darby Property managing director Datuk Abd Wahab Maskan. Sime Darby Property is the property arm of Sime Darby Bhd.
The Residences is a luxury development consisting of 80 bungalows, with each unit spanning an impressive land area of between 5,800 sq ft and 9,500 sq ft — priced from RM3.89 million onwards.
Boasting a concept described as "tropically inspired with a contemporary twist", all homes come with an individual swimming pool, a rooftop terrace and private elevator.
Each unit is unique in design and is specifically designed to maximise natural lighting and ventilation. Other green building elements include tinted windows for heat reduction, rainwater harvesting system and a centralised waste management system.
Putra Heights is spread over 1,796 acres (726.8ha) of freehold land, which has townships such as UEP Subang Jaya (USJ), Puchong and Shah Alam as neighbours. The township, which is accessible via the Damansara-Puchong Highway, Jalan Petaling in Shah Alam, and the ELITE Highway, was launched in 1999 and is set to be completed in 2016.
The South East Asia Property Awards recognise and celebrate contributions from developers, agents, architects and designers from all the major property markets in the region such as Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Cambodia and Vietnam.
The event was organised by Ensign Media (Singapore) Pte Ltd, publishers of Property Report South East Asia, and audited by BDO, a member of BDO International Ltd.
The panel of judges consisted of highly reputable individuals from the real estate and related industries across the region.

Junior Travis Misner, a baseball student-athlete at Division III Loras College, will spend his 21st birthday on a day-long flight to Chinese Taipei. Misner and former basketball student-athlete Andrea Dalton of Division II Pittsburgh-Johnstown were picked to represent the United States at the International University Sport Federation (FISU) Forum, a conference held every two years at different locations around the world.
Travis Misner
Andrea Dalton
The pair, who were selected based on academic excellence, leadership qualities and community service as well as athletics involvement, will meet with other athletes from around the globe to discuss this year's theme "University Sport: a Platform for Sustainable Development." Neither Misner nor Dalton have traveled internationally and had to apply for their first passports in advance of the March 26-31 conference.
Misner, who will be the first person from his family to graduate from college, said he was "ecstatic" to learn of his acceptance.
"An opportunity like this to broaden my horizons and diversify myself and see what other countries are doing is an opportunity that is priceless," he said.
Although he had always desired to study abroad, Misner, who is paying part of his tuition, said it was not financially realistic. He said the FISU experience will provide him the chance fulfill his dream while experiencing a new culture.
Loras baseball student-athlete Travis Misner will represent the United States at the FISU Forum.
"I've never had the opportunity to see how people in other countries live," he said.
Loras Athletics Director Robert Quinn recognized Misner's dedication and work ethic.
"Travis manages his academics, athletic participation, leadership experiences and mentoring work at the highest level. He also holds a part-time job in the community to help pay his college tuition," he wrote in a recommendation letter.
For her part, Dalton, a four-year standout who serves as the assistant coach for her former team as she completes her bachelor's degree, said she hopes the experience will help her in her future career in athletics administration.
"Getting a global perspective is extremely important if you want to be an athletic director," she said. "Knowing what's going on in other countries, not just in the United States, could benefit a university program."
Dalton also said she's interested in understanding the role of women in athletics around the world.
Pittsburgh-Johnstown's Andrea Dalton is excited for the opportunity to experience a different culture.
In her letter recommending Dalton for the FISU role, Pittsburgh-Johnstown coach Sasha Palmer wrote, "she is the epitome of an ideal student-athlete on the court, in the classroom, and in the community."
Palmer continued, "Andrea is not only a fine player, but is also an outstanding individual. She excels in the classroom with a 3.86 GPA and is looked upon for her leadership."
Both Dalton and Misner are nervous about the language barrier, but say it will be part of the experience.
"To see a totally different culture is going to be eye-opening," Dalton said. "It's really exciting."
Dalton and Misner will be blogging throughout their journey. Links to the blogs will be featured on NCAA.org.
Although Misner will have a birthday that lasts less than 24 hours as he flies from time zone to time zone, he said he doesn't mind.
"That's kind of a cool birthday present," he said. "I get to go to Taipei City."

You're likely seeing a dramatic increase in the use of QR codes in marketing materials lately. Despite being around for quite some time, they're really beginning to be recognized by marketers as a great way to integrate online and offline marketing efforts. And it makes sense; smartphone use continues to rise – Comscore reports that 82.2 million Americans have one now. Comscore also reports that 14 million Americans scanned a QR code in June 2011 alone. The demographics tend to skew towards young, affluent males, so if that is your target audience QR codes can be of immense benefit to your campaign.
The huge benefit of using QR codes is in how many ways they can be implemented. A QR code can be placed almost anywhere; on print materials such as flyers, posters, and product packaging, or even displayed on websites. The single most common place I've seen them is in advertising in restaurant bathrooms. The bar codes that are created can display a phone number, email address or plain text message. The most common use is to direct the user to a URL.

I earned my doctorate from the University of California Santa Barbara in the field of Materials Science. My PhD work involved the strategic development of new materials to help package DNA for delivery to mammalian cells. We used a combination of physical, chemical, and biological tools to correlate the structure and properties of these materials with their efficacy to deliver foreign DNA. As a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute in Goettingen, Germany, I created new microfluidic tools which helped to experimentally access the self-assembly and behavior of proteins in flow. I am currently a science policy fellow working in the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO). The NNCO is a central point of contact for the National Nanotechnology Initiative, which is an interagency group consisting of over 20 federal agencies with an interest in nanotechnology.

Using math to detect cheating
Kenneth Regan, associate professor of computer science at the University at Buffalo, has developed a program that can assist in discovering cheating. This was reported yesterday in the New York Times.
For the New York Times, Dylan Loeb McClain, spoke with Regan, who has been researching the problem for five years. The Toiletgate scandal during the Topalov-Kramnik 2006 World Championship match was a starting point. Back then, Veselin Topalov and his manager Silvio Danailov accused Vladimir Kramnik of cheating, arguing that the Russian grandmaster went to the toilet dozens of times during a game.
I thought that the chess world needed someone to try to help investigate these accusations. I felt I was qualified. I felt some definite responsibility,
Dr. Regan told the Times. Normally, he studies the epic P vs NP problem, but being an International Master himself, it's no surprise that Regan often combines his research with chess topics.
He started to work on a way to have mathematical proof that someone is cheating. This eventually led to a model of how often the moves of players of varying ability match those of chess programs. To test someone for cheating, he runs that player's Elo rating against the comparative model.
What Regan used for his model are games all the way back to the 19th century. By now, he's analysed almost 200,000 games, mostly from top tournaments. His computer program will predict moves, and he can then compare these moves with the ones of the alleged cheater.
At the moment, Regan's model is at a stage where it can be used only as support in cases in which cheating is alleged. It cannot conclusively say whether a player is really cheating; all it can do is say that the move the player chose is strangely similar to those chosen by a chess engine.
The chess world has seen many cheating scandals in recent years, including the French case at the Olympiad in 2010. In February 2009, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov accused Igor Kurnosov of cheating, and based hs claims on the similarity with Rybka's moves.
Dr. Regan's research has great potential value beyond chess, according to Jonathan Schaeffer, a professor of computer science at the University of Alberta and the inventor of Chinook, the computer that solved checkers. The New York Times quotes him as saying
What he is doing, what these people are doing, is they are trying to model how people make decisions.
How can a programm evaluate human playing? The programm would have to be able to judge whether a move is "human" or not. But therefor it has to understand how a humen thinks, when he plays a position, in fact: which moves are natural.
And I believe that this is not possible for a computer programm.
Also players could have analized the moves at home with an engine and would be designated as cheaters.
This all seems for me like the attempt to accuse a student of cheating, who normally has bad grades, just because he wrote a good grade. You could argue, that his writing style was different but this can never be proven, maybe he was just well prepared or he advanced. The only thing you do is to accuse him unjustified.
But this is just what I think about this without knowing how this programm works...

>> How can a programm evaluate human playing? The programm would have to be able to judge whether a move is "human" or not.
The system is not trying to do that. It just compares how many moves match those of the computer.
>> Also players could have analized the moves at home with an engine and would be designated as cheaters.
That is probably one of the reasons the percentages are so high in professional chess.
But they would not automatically be designated as cheaters; read the article: "At the moment, Regan's model is at a stage where it can be used only as support in cases in which cheating is alleged."

I think it would work comparing players of different calibers making closer to ´best´ moves according to the computer programm. For example a 2600-player would have 90% of his choices in the top 3 of computer candidate moves, 80% in the top-2 and 70% would be ´first choice´. For a 2300-player these numbers would look like 80-70-60 etc. The percentages are arbitrary of course and might be different in practice. This is also one of the methods used to determine cheating online.

I really don't know what I am supposed to conclude from his published results. Hou Yifan is at the top of the list - is that supposed to mean she is the most likely cheater of the listed players? Assuming she is not, then her position on the list, indeed the entire list, seem rather meaningless.
2 years 4 weeks ago
Lasker and Botvinnik are also quite high on that list ( http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/~regan/chess/fidelity/WCallperfs.txt - took me a while to find it), and Kramnik's best result is from a rapid playoff game against Topalov when even Vlad presumably spent most of the time at the board. So this list merely reflects the quality of games from WCh matches - BTW without an indicator of complexity, i.e. how difficult is it to consistently find the best moves?
In general, I think the title of the article "Using math to detect cheating" is too strong - as mentioned later on, at the moment Regan's program can only support or refute cheating allegations which in any case would need other lines of evidence. And I don't see how this could change in the future.
In other sports, a world record might be considered suspicious and an indication for doping. That's why that athlete has to undergo a doping test, which may prove him guilty or innocent. In that case, skeptics might say that the athlete was just smarter than the doping authorities, using substances hitherto unknown or that cannot be detected. In chess it seems to be the other way around: Regan's program can only prove innocence, it cannot provide crystal-clear (and legally relevant) proof of guilt?

I think you must have missed the part where he says that the 'fidelity' measure doesn't indicate cheating unless there is some physical evidence: http://www.cse.buffalo.edu/~regan/chess/fidelity/Golfers.html ...

Funny how they call this 'research'.
"...It cannot conclusively say whether a player is really cheating; all it can do is say that the move the player chose is strangely similar to those chosen by a chess engine..."
How is this different from Mamedyarov claiming that his opponent's moves matched Rybka's moves a lot?
Remco G

He has a lot more data to back it up. He can show what "a lot" means exactly.
2 years 3 weeks ago
From the link Morten provided above:
"Thus the statistical analysis can only be supporting evidence of cheating, in cases that have some other concrete distinguishing mark. When such a mark is present, the stats can be effective, and can meet civil court standards of evidence"
And ChessVibes, please distinguish between mathematics and computer science. I can live with computer scientists making fools of themselves, but then also 'attribute' the results to computer science. So "Using computer science to detect cheating" would be more accurate (and less insulting to mathematicians).
2 years 4 weeks ago
Fascinating statistical analysis, but hardly a credible methodology for putting reputations at risk. This system clearly would "mark" players as cheaters who in fact are not. Back to the drawing board!
2 years 4 weeks ago
Good to hear that some people are actually doing serious research in this area.
I think that something tha these researchers are missing is the fact that a cheater doesnt have to cheat on every move he makes during a game. In fact a titled and experienced player knows what the critical points in a game are or when a lot of tactial calculation is needed so in a single game a lot of his moves doesnt have to follow an engine.
2 years 4 weeks ago
Programmers try to build evermore human thinking into their programs So in fact the rsesult would mean that they succeeded. And, by the way, who checks the computers that are used to find the cheaters? You could now already rig your computer so that it proves that Morphy, Eeuwe etc used computers to cheat.
Statistics is not a prooving science. It cannot proove anything.
It can only indicate the probability for a fact to be true or not.
Also, statistics is obliged to report the exact percentage for a fact to be true.
We have AGREED (arbitrary, of cource) to accept as "true", a fact that has a
percentage of probability higher than 95% (statistically significant).
Mostly so when it exceeds 99% (statistically very significant).
But be careful. They are only working decisions.
They are, in no way, considered to be proofing evidence.
And of cource not in a law court. They are not evidence is a legal way.
They only help scientists to make decisions on how to proceed.
In my opinion, the title of the article should be: "Using statistics to suspect cheating".
That would say all.

Console.exe System Error: The Program Can't Start Because FreeImagePlus.dll Is MissingPosted by alex in Insights
I received a new laptop this afternoon that is running Windows 7 64-Bit. This is my first experience with Windows 7 and my first personal laptop running a 64-Bit OS so I was expecting to have a bunch of problems installing all of the applications that I use. I have been pleasantly surprised that the issues have been almost non-existent though during the installation of Console I ran into an error after trying to launch the Console application. Below is information on the error along with how to resolve the problem when running Console on Windows 7 64-Bit.32-Bit, 64-Bit, console.exe, error, FreeImage.dll, FreeImagePlus.dll, system32, SysWOW64, windows, windows 7

Splinter Cell stunt misfires: Armed police respond
A man who pointed an imitation pistol at 20 drinkers outside an Auckland, NZ bar on Friday evening got more than he bargained for when armed police were called out. The toy gun-wielding actor was pulling a stunt to promote Splinter Cell: Conviction, the hit Ubisoft title (our review is here), and was arrested with an accomplice …

Lucky the guy wasn't a Brazilian electrician!
Well done Aussie Police for not over-reacting.
The stunter obviously wouldn't get more than six out of ten in a 'Guess Your Own Name' competition.
Sorry, made the ultimate sin of calling Kiwi's Aussies.
Are young NZ coppers known as pus-filled flaty-foots?

A Moment of OptimismBy Steffen • Jan 8th, 2010 • Category: 26th Story, Books
About a year and a half ago I had the pleasure of meeting Gretchen Rubin in person, though I'd been following her on Twitter for some time before that. I was supposed to give a talk to authors about the power of the tools on the internet, and when the list of authors was sent out and I saw Gretchen's name on it, I immediately called her and told her SHE should be leading the workshop, not me! At that point, a year and a half ago, she had a great blog (since has become even greater) and about 5000 followers on Twitter. Even more importantly, she was engaged with the community — and this was a few years before the publication of her book. We spoke for a few minutes on the phone and decided that she would come to the meeting despite the fact that she was more experienced with the tools than the other authors who would be attending.
Gretchen turned out to be such a gift to have at the meeting because as I would speak to these authors and tell them what I thought they should be doing, she would chime in as a member of their tribe instead of the outsider (me) and give her own perspective about what was easy or challenging.
Over the course of that next year and half I followed carefully what she was doing and was always impressed. We got together in person a few times, and I would tell her what a great job she was doing, we'd compare notes about this and that, and she'd always say "but will it sell books when the time comes?"
Well, it turns out that it does work (I feel like a broken record ). Gretchen's book, The Happiness Project, went on sale on December 29, 2009. On Wednesday we found out that it will land at #2 on the New York Times bestseller list for the January 17 list. I realize that Gretchen's subject lends itself to blogging and twittering more easily than other books would, and it's got a great jacket, title, and traditional publicity — but there is no denying, IMHO, that Gretchen Rubin worked hard, for a long time, establishing a relationship with the community, and it paid off.
Here are 5 things that Gretchen did right:
1) As I've said, it's not a "campaign." This is a long-term relationship with your readers. Gretchen understood that and started the relationship long before (as in years) it was time to "promote her book."
2) She talked about her book…but she also talked about other people's books, and in general, we got to see the world through Gretchen's eyes and to know her. She posted frequently, linked them up in Facebook (often I found them on Facebook), and had GREAT content. I don't think there was a post I didn't love and I felt like I found a little present every time she put one up.
3) Once the book jacket was done she put it up on the site in a place where people could always see it so she didn't have to always "promote herself." I hear this a lot from authors: "I'm not comfortable promoting myself." Gretchen didn't promote herself; she was fabulously interesting, and when I would click through to read her posts I was always reminded by the book jacket that it was coming out.
4) She didn't sit around waiting for a publicist to make her famous. Yes, there is traditional media as part of the mix; lots of it in her case. But it's a healthy mix of traditional and social media and they riff off each other. It's like having a well balanced stock portfolio…not to mention that she has a tribe with whom she can communicate about all of this media.
5) Here's my favorite one: The Video. The video the video the video. Every author needs one (kidding); most are not good. The thing I LOVE about Gretchen's is that it is simple beyond belief, and what it lacks in fancy production and editing it makes up for in spades with heart and soul.
I watched this video a few months ago and was so moved I've seen it about another 10 times. I think about it all of the time. Watch here.
UPDATE: The Happiness Project was published by HarperCollins.

This is a great kit, it's easy to work with and the result is a quality pickup but the pole pieces could be shorter in order to have flush pole pieces over the bobbin
I just finished winding these pups. They are very good, the slugs fit well not overtight, plus you have all that you need. The only downside is that you need to install the brass eyelets yourself. Thank you Stewmac.
I use this kit on a Fender Jazz bass Japan made, and really made this bass shine! Vintage, but very dynamic with great tone!
Just excellent! At last kit for bass guitars. Easy to work with and when you start properly end result is great.
Not sure what happened to the other reviewer (although I suspect bobbin deformation due to over tight winding), but I had no problems at all. Hand (scatter) wound to hot spec (8.7K and 9.2K) with 42AWG Heavy Formvar coated wire and had a perfect fit for both bobbins/covers. These kits are great!
I been building pickups for 3 years, two months ago I bougth a jazz bass kit, some thing was wrong, i asambled the bobbin and start to winding bouth bobbins, when i finished i putted in the covers and they didn´t sit well in the covers, ... i try again, and tray, stewmac send me new bobbins so i wait... waiting i mesure te bobbins, the magnet holes were moved almost half milimeter of the center of the bobbin, so the only i can do was make bigger holes on the cover, almost six milimeters of diameter, now they fit, but look ugly! I will buy new covers with no holes!

Conrad Joins Fix the Debt CampaignFormer Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., has joined former allies in the effort to resolve the nation's budget problems, signing on with the national Campaign to Fix the Debt.
By: Chuck Haga, Grand Forks Herald
Former Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., has joined former allies in the effort to resolve the nation's budget problems, signing on with the national Campaign to Fix the Debt.
Conrad, a former Senate Budget Committee chairman who chose not to seek re-election in November, has been added to the campaign's national steering committee.
The campaign was founded and is co-chaired by North Carolina Democrat Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson, a former Republican senator from Wyoming, who gave their names to a deficit reduction plan that failed to win sufficient support in 2010. Conrad also was a member of that commission.
Fix the Debt calls itself "a non-partisan movement to put America on a better fiscal and economic path" by rallying people "from a variety of social, economic and political perspectives" who share the belief that America's growing federal debt must be addressed.
Members include current and former members of Congress, governors, mayors and business leaders "who want to see elected officials step up to solve our nation's fiscal challenges," according to its website, www.fixthedebt.org.
Conrad also was a member of the Senate's so-called Gang of Six, a bipartisan effort to fix the country's budget problems, and "has demonstrated a unique drive for addressing the country's fiscal problems," according to a statement today by the campaign.
Conrad was not immediately available to comment on his new role. "The vision he brings … will amplify our message, and it couldn't come at a better time," according to the statement. "In Washington, it seems like lawmakers have mastered doing the very least to avoid the very worst. Senator Conrad has never been one to 'settle for the least.' We need a deal that is big enough to truly control our debt over the long term, and Senator Conrad has long been pushing for one."
As a member of the Simpson-Bowles Commission, Conrad supported its recommendations on budget reforms, spending cuts and other measures. The commission's plan provides a framework for Fix the Debt's bipartisan call to reduce the deficit and stabilize the debt.
During recent fiscal cliff negotiations, Conrad "pushed for bipartisan compromise and urged colleagues not to settle for a 'stripped down' budget plan," according to the statement.
The statement quoted Conrad as saying the country's budget problems were years in the making.
"Looking back over the past 10 years, it is easy to see where doing nothing — or just the bare minimum to avoid defaulting on our obligations — will get us," he said. "Washington needs to work together, that's the only way to reach a deal that will correct the current course we're on."
Conrad, who was mentioned as a possible member of President Barack Obama's new Cabinet, told Forum Communications in November that such an appointment was not likely and that he was looking forward to spending more time with loved ones.
But he said, according to today's announcement, he is "proud to join the Campaign to Fix the Debt because we simply can't afford to stand on the sidelines."
