Press defense sparks WSU to win over Milwaukee
January 6, 2013
Filed under Men's Basketball, Sports
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
It was a night to celebrate the 1983 Division II national champions and the "spirit of the '83 team" helped guide the WSU men's basketball team to a 53-51 conference win over Milwaukee.
The Raiders kept the score close all game long not trailing by more than six and after a late three-pointer by Cole Darling and a big defensive stand to end the game, WSU improved to 11-4 overall, 2-0 in Horizon League play, and 7-0 this season at the Nutter Center.
Reggie Arceneaux and Cole Darling led the Raider scoring attack with 15 and 14 points while Jerran Young contributed with seven rebounds – five of which came on the offensive end.
"Down the stretch he (Jerran) came up huge with big offensive rebounds and layups," Darling said. "Something possessed him."
Wright State pulled a page out of Milwaukee's playbook from a decade ago pressing the Panthers full court all game and Wright State head coach Billy Donlon says that's what won the game tonight.
"Last year's team could never have pressed their way into a win," Donlon said. "This year's team can press their way into a win. The press won us the game."
Saturday night's game felt eerily similar to earlier in the season when the Raiders lost at Bowling Green. Like the loss at BGSU, Wright State didn't get to the free throw line in the first half and were outshot at the charity stripe by the Panthers who went 18-25 on foul shots.
With the victory the Raiders are tied for first place in the Horizon League alongside 2-0 Detroit. The loss was Milwaukee's sixth in their last seven games and pushes their record to 4-12 overall and 0-2 in the league.
While tonight the team honored the 1983 national championship team with special throwback uniforms the admittedly superstitious Donlon said he'll leave it up to the team to see if WSU will continue wearing the jerseys throughout the season.
"I'll leave it up to the fellas," Donlon said. "Maybe we'll bring them out again. They're better than the first time we wore the black uniforms."
The Raiders will continue their homestand Wednesday, January 9 against conference foe Cleveland State. Tipoff will be at 7:00 p.m. and students can receive two free tickets at Gate 9 of the Nutter Center starting at 6:00 p.m. the day of the game. The game can also be viewed online for free at www.horizonleaguenetwork.com

Hibernate one distro, de-hibernate another
Is it possible to have two linux distros installed on a pc and to switch between them using a script that automatically hibernates one distro and de-hibernates the other?
Can this work without any of the reboot phases occurring at all?
Can this exclude unused memory so the hibernation files are smaller than the 2 GB of memory a pc might have and therefore faster to read or write?
No. all the drives come up hung in the wrong places, and it reboots. It's silly if it doesn't.
There are things you can do to speed up the boot process, like initng instead of syslog.
Hibernate is getting really intertwined with bios.
I doubt you would be able to select but you can try.
I use virtual machines for this sort of reason. They are just too fast and stable and easy now not to. Just a supported system and some extra ram and let it rip.
no i seriously doubt that since if i'm not mistaken hibernate saves the state of memory and programs to hard drive, then sets the hardware into power save mode, but this is done in bios, not the OS
i would agree that virtualization of some form is what you need, perhaps a Hypervisor in specific is what you need
If you configured a different swap partition for each OS then yes it should work using the usual multiboot mechanisms -- GRUB, lilo etc. For 100% robustness you need a "swap" partition for each OS only used for hibernating in addidition to the one for swapping.
I don't understand how a script can/needs to be used except for any of the resume "patch up" work that might be required for a single OS.
Ideally I'd like to press a button and a minute later to be working with the other distro from where I was the previous time. The script might do the grub equivalent of selecting another active partition.

Perfect solution for short break
We needed somewhere for three of us to stay, just for one night, which was very close to the Royal Mile and a short walk from the station.
After being recommended the Hollyrood Aparthptel by a colleague I booked on spec. It was very easy to find, though we arrived via a slightly scruffy side street. it felt a little like smal hotels in Paris walking up to it. Once inside the check in was very straightforward and it was very easy to find our room. It had two double rooms and a living room and kitchen area. perhaps the. Out impressive aspect was the amount of appliances they had squeezed into the space. Dishwasher, Oven, Hob, Microwave fridge AND washing machine. Incredible really. Very light and fresh feel to the rooms and it was a great base for further sightseeing on the first day. there is a small supermarket close by for self catering purchases and loads of great restaurants and cafés etc within 10 mins walk. We would definitely use this again. You are left on your own, with no 'frills' like a normal hotel. No busy lobby, no bar or restaurant etc, but we knew this and factored it in to our choice.

Michaels confirms breach of as many as 2.6M cards
Michaels Stores Inc. said about 2.6 million cards used at its namesake stores may have been affected in a security breach. But the company said it has received "limited" reports of fraud.
The security breach at Michaels stores occurred from May last year to January of this year.
Customers who use credit cards feel protecting their identity is really a game of Russian roulette.
U.S. Rep. Jim Langevin has been worried about Internet and cybersecurity for years.
"This really does go to the heart of protecting our economy," said Langevin, a Rhode Island Democrat.
Langevin has tried for years to pass laws beefing up security on the Internet. But he has been unable to get bills passed in Congress that would mandate reporting by companies when their accounts are hacked or that force major retailers to achieve any level of security.
"The individual company, for the most part, is responsible for protecting their own systems. There's no one really in charge, if you will, requiring more cybersecurity," Langevin said.
He said the best consumers can do is to check their accounts frequently to see if anyone has taken their credit card information to make purchases.
AAA Southern New England recognizes how much of a concern this is, and now offers members access to a reporting firm that will alert them to unusual purchases. It's the kind of checkup you might get from a doctor.
"It's the same kind of idea to apply to your financial health. We have many opportunities -- it's common sense, really -- for us to protect ourselves in a world where protection is critically important," said Mary Wyatt of AAA Southern New England.
As far as getting action from Congress, Langevin said the problem has been reluctance by representatives to touch anything related to surveillance since the Edward Snowden leak of NSA documents showed how much the government is snooping on the public.
Langevin said he hopes once a law restricting NSA surveillance passes, his cybersecurity laws will have a better chance.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Haifa (Jul. 16)
The biggest transport of refugees to arrive since the war disembarked here today from the S.S. Macoura, Among the 1,166 arrivals are adults and children from France, England and Italy. The bulk of the immigrants – 817 – came from France, while 159 were from England and 150 from Italy.
Among the children from France are youngaters who left the Bergen Belsen and Buchenwald concentration camps only a few weeks ago. A boy who left Warsaw on May 23 reported that life for the remnants of Jews left in Poland is beginning to approach normalcy, but most Polish Jews desire to emigrate to Palestine. The young immigrants from France said that there were many more Jewish children there who desire to come to Palestine, despite assurances that they would receive free education and proper care in France.
The transport, which was organized by the Jewish Agency and financed by the Joint Distribution Committee, was welcomed on its arrival by representatives of the Agency and Dr. James Heller, president of the United Palestine Appeal in the United States. The Youth Aliyah organization has prepared permanent homes for the children, most of whom are orphans.

The commissioner of the Mountain West Conference met with congressional aides, lobbying for changes to the Bowl Championship Series.
In the debate over how to best decide college football's national champion, Craig Thompson said he plans to present a proposal to BCS coordinator John Swofford. He declined to offer details. The league also has hired a Washington lobbying firm.
Conference member Utah has been shut out of the title game despite an undefeated record twice in the last five seasons.
"Technically, yes, we have access to the national championship game," Thompson said yesterday. "Realistically, we don't."
The Mountain West also is not among the conferences with an automatic bid to BCS bowls.
"We're going to take our stand, state our case and propose change," Thompson said, adding he met with senior staffers for seven members of the House of Representatives on Thursday and expected to talk to several senators' aides yesterday.
"Certainly we're not the most popular kid in the room," Thompson said, referring to efforts to persuade the other conferences to change the BCS system. "I understand that. We're trying to help college football fans and institute a more equitable system."
Thompson said the Mountain West had yet to sign the BCS's new contract with ESPN for 2011-14. It's the only conference that has not signed. Representatives for the other conferences have not discussed what would happen if the Mountain West continues to hold out.

How to Finish Drywall Like a Pro
Every house, at one point in time, needs a repair made to a drywall or plaster wall or ceiling. To save money, you may have tried this and ended up cursing worse than a drunken sailor. Working with drywall compound has broken up many a marriage.
I've finished new drywall for years and patched more than I care to remember. I'll tell you now it's a tough job to get professional results, but it's possible. You just have to know a few secrets that were taught to me decades ago by a few expert drywall finishers. You also need to be patient and practice.
You can watch a nice short video of me showing how to finish drywall by going here:
Degree of Difficulty:
Step One: You'll need a 5-inch flexible drywall taping knife, a 10-inch flexible drywall broad knife, a mud pan, pre-mixed drywall all-purpose compound, paper drywall tape, and a drywall sanding pad.
Step Two: The first step is to mix up the joint compound so it's the right consistency. The compound from the factory is always too stiff. Add water in small amounts only mixing up the top layer in the new bucket. The consistency of the mud should resemble warm cake icing that is very easy to spread.
Step Three: Apply a layer of the compound over a seam or crack that needs to be repaired. The layer of compound should be one-eighth-inch thick and uniformly smooth. Embed a piece of the paper tape into the compound and use the 5-inch knife to pull out excess compound from under the tape. You want to only remove half the compound you originally applied making sure there is at least a one-sixteenth-inch layer of compound under the tape. If you remove too much compound from under the tape, you'll get blisters in the tape when you apply the second coat. Allow this compound to dry for a day or two.
Step Four: The second coat of compound is the hardest to apply. It requires a deft hand and great hand-eye coordination. Use the 10-inch knife to apply a layer of compound over the entire taped seam with the compound extending at least 2 inches either side of the edge of the paper tape. The compound should be approximately one-eighth inch thick over the paper.
Step Five: Holding the knife at an angle and applying pressure so one tip of it is touching the drywall where there is no compound, pull the knife at an angle across the compound much like a snow plow plows snow. The other tip of the knife should be up in the air so that it's creating a ridge of compound over the center of the paper tape. The thickness of the compound above the center of the paper tape should be just over one-eighth of an inch. The creamy consistency will allow you to feather the edge of the compound to nothing below and above the taped seam.
Step Six: Step two will produce an ugly uneven ridge of compound over the center of the paper tape. Don't worry about this. When the second coat dries in a day or two, you'll lightly sand off this ridge before applying the final coat.
Step Seven: When the second coat of compound is completely dry, sand off the center imperfection on top of the now-hidden tape. Brush off any dust. Use the 10-inch knife to apply the third, and final, coat of compound. Apply a thin one-sixteenth layer of compound over the entire area where you've previously applied the compound. Hold the knife at a slight angle and pull it across the seam removing almost all the compound you just applied. This coat will fill in any minor imperfections in the compound.
Step Eight: The third coat will dry rapidly if the humidity is low. You can now sand the seam and inspect it for any imperfections. Repeat Steps Seven and Eight, if necessary, to get a smooth surface at all the seams.
Summary: It requires lots of practice to get professional results. The key is making sure the joint compound is the correct consistency. If it's too thin, it will fail. If it's too thick, you'll fight it every step of the way. The biggest mistake you can make is leaving too much compound on top of a seam causing you to have to sand forever and ever. It's easy to add more compound. It's hard to sand it off.

One Response to How to Finish Drywall Like a Pro
Trick from old time rocker. Mix a diluted soup of white glue & water (now, you can buy cans of spray on colored adhesive). Paint the seam with the slurry, tape with moist tape, paint the tape with an overcoat of glue. Tim, this trick prevents the tape pulling up as you coat with compound. From there, your instructions are right on. I keep a spray bottle of water handy for those times when the compound dries too quickly. Once I think the job is finished, I go over each seam with a bare hand to check for imperfections that the eye can't see. One last comment, a good selection of knives, both straight and angled makes the job so much easier. Taping can be simple or a curse - it is patience that makes the difference. I am a do-it-yourselfer and have taped my projects for 30+ years (to include an entire house.) Only time I had trouble was when I pushed the job and got sloppy.

It's very rare for me to go into a movie totally blind. Whenever I hear a movie title that I know nothing about, I always feel the need to look at the trailer. For People Like Us, all I knew was the plot synopsis and I saw one clip while watching Conan when one of the stars was on. For me that's about as blind as I can get. The story seemed like an interesting idea and as long as the movie was well written and well acted then I should enjoy it. That's the case with People Like Us. The acting was great and the movie has a decent script. Unfortunately, there's not much of a reason to return.
In People Like Us, we have Sam (Chris Pine) who returns home when his father dies. He and his parents never had a great relationship and Sam almost never went home even when hearing the news of his Dad's death. When he comes home he finds that his father has left him $150,000, not for himself, but to deliver to a sister that he never know he had. When Sam meets his sister, Frankie (Elizabeth Banks), he tries to get to know her first before giving her the news that he's her brother. He starts to wait a little bit too long and it's become difficult for him to tell her the truth.
You can understand when I say the story is interesting (it was based off a true story). While the script isn't great by any stretch of the imagination, it does keep you mostly entertained for the full 2 hour long movie. That's unfortunately the problem. 2 hours is a little too much for this movie, 90 minutes is a more preferable time. The movie slows down a bit and spends too much time with Frankie not knowing Sam is her brother. It got to the point where I kept thinking, "Why the hell hasn't he told her yet?" They're practically friends with Frankie telling Sam everything about herself and Sam hanging out with Frankie's son all the time. They could've chopped out quite a bit of the movie and had a 2 hour "Director's Cut" once the Blu-ray came out.
The good story is met with the good characters. I mentioned earlier that it was based off a true story so I would feel weird knocking the characters. Good because I don't have to. The characters are fun and this is going to sound dumb and obvious but the characters were lifelike. The actors take the credit. Chris Pine and Elizabeth Banks deliver great performances as Sam and Frankie. They have good chemistry together and they're enjoyable to watch on screen.
I mentioned in some other review that I don't like kids in movies. Frankie's son, Josh, is played by Michael Hall D'Addario. While I hated the kid at first (mainly because the kid was a rotten bastard) I liked him a bit later on (although he still annoyed me from time to time). Michael did a decent job although a haircut would've been nice. Michelle Pfeiffer plays Sam's Mom and she had some scenes but was hardly in the movie. Olivia Wilde plays Sam's girlfriend, Hannah who's also in the movie for only 10 minutes before she leaves and hardly returns. It's always fun to see Jon Favreau on screen (it sucks because he's only on the screen for a minute). All these characters could've been used more. Cut out the scenes with the kid.
The music by A.R. Rahman is unbelievably forgettable. I practically forgot there was even a score in the movie when I'm writing this review. Only a couple of moments in the movie I remember the score because the score didn't fit into the scenes where it was.
Overall, see the trailer for People Like Us and then decide if you should see the movie. It's not great but it's far from bad. It has good performances and an interesting story but a lackluster script and a tiring runtime. While the movie didn't deserve the negative reception or the status of "box office failure," it's an okay movie with a couple of problems.

text: Quarrier Diner to close next week By Kate White March 18, 2013 Story Share Lawrence Pierce The Quarrier Diner, which reopened in 2011 after being closed since 1999, will close March 29. Owner Anna Pollitt said the restaurant doesn't get enough business to stay open. Lawrence Pierce The Pollitts had consulted old photographs and painstakingly restored the diner, which was built in 1946. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Quarrier Diner, a Charleston landmark reopened two years ago, will close at the end of the month, owner Anna Pollitt said through tears Monday."We go many evenings with only one or two tables ... I just think that the location is so suspect -- mainly because people just don't come downtown after 5 o'clock," she saidPollitt and her husband, David, plan to keep the downstairs bar, Timothy's, open for now. She said that could change by the end of the month.The Pollitts purchased the dilapidated restaurant in September 2010 at the urging of their son, Tim, after it was named to the Preservation Alliance of West Virginia's Most Endangered Properties."He told us that if we would purchase a restaurant, he would make it work," Anna Pollitt previously told the Gazette.They began extensive renovations in January 2011 to restore the art nouveau building, which was built in 1946. The Pollitt family received "Most Significant Save of an Endangered Site" from the Preservation Alliance for their work in preserving and restoring the Quarrier Diner.The couple consulted old photographs and painstakingly restored the façade, the details on the wooden booths with their orange tabletops and decorative lamps and the floor tile and barstools. They added modern touches such as lighted glass bars and flat screen, projection televisions in an upstairs meeting room and in the downstairs bar. But in the middle of construction, Tim Pollitt died from a head injury sustained after falling down the stairs at home on Easter Sunday."It was for him, but yet I thought it could be a project we could handle together," Anna Pollitt said Monday. "But it's bigger than us, than we even realized. I think it would have been hard even with him."Their daughter, Lisa Pollitt, quit her job to help with the restaurant, Anna Pollitt said. The couple's nephew also worked there."She has to get on with her life, and my nephew had to get on with his life and I can't do it alone," Anna Pollitt said, crying. On Monday at about 1 p.m., much of the lunch crowd -- which Anna Pollitt said can reach 90 customers -- had left, and about 10 people sat eating quietly.Regular customers Jennifer Marrs and Siobhan Gearhart, who work across the street from the diner, said over salads Monday that they were devastated after seeing the sign taped on the door announcing the March 29 closure."It's raining and I asked [Jennifer] where we should go for lunch and we just came here. We were just here Friday," Gearhart said."It's really upsetting. We want to find Anna and see what's going on," Marrs said. "It seemed like it was always crowded." The women wondered if the closing had anything to do with chef Tony Henderson's departure.Lisa Pollitt said Henderson left in December but that him leaving didn't have anything to do with the restaurant closing. She said other employees had "carried the torch."Besides not being able to survive on earnings from the lunch crowd, Anna Pollitt said the city of Charleston hasn't offered much support."Just in the last week, five cars were towed from the parking lot next door. Plus, the meter maid goes around every five minutes and catches everybody who is one second over," she said, noting people often think the adjacent parking lot belongs to the diner."I'm just frustrated with every aspect of it."There aren't any immediate plans for what will happen to the space, but she said she's not in any rush to sell it. "I'll see if we have any interest. We don't have to sell right away, we're not in financial trouble -- it's just time to move on," she said. "I'm a grandmother; I'm approaching 62 years old. I've got a lot of other things, a lot of other projects to get into."Reach Kate White at email@example.com or 304-348-1723.

I'd appreciate any help here...
My mate and I both bought new BMW R1200GSA's in South Africa in 2009.
- Both of us had our bikes insured by BMW Motorrad Insurance.
- Both of us did the advanced BMW offroad 3 day courses
- Both of us have full SA Motorcycle licences (Equivalent and accepted as same as Full UK Licence)and have been riding for many years
In July 2011 we moved to the UK permanently. I was given a full UK licence in exchange for my SA version. I then bought a new 2011 BMW R1200GSA from Vines, Caterham and have been riding in the UK since.
My mate in SA is still riding his bike and has expressed interest in coming over to the UK for a holiday during which time I plan to organise a few trips on bikes.
Another mate of mine in the UK owns a R1200GS as well and has indicated he'd be happy for my friend to use his bike when he comes to visit the UK - especially as he know the model well.
We're hitting blank brick walls though and cannot get any of the Insurance companies to even "offer" a way to assist with Insurance..... we are simply told that he has to have a full UK licence and has to be a UK resident?
Can anyone advise or perhaps assist......?

A Chip Powered by the Battery in Your Ear
After decades of attempts, researchers have determined how to harvest the electrical potential that exists in our ears and allows our bodies to turn sound waves into signals for our brains. The discovery potentially could allow for ear-powered tiny drug delivery devices or hearing aids.
There's a battery in your ear. No, really. And now scientists have figured out how to harvest its energy.
The cochlea is a system of three coiled ducts in the inner ear. The central duct is filled with fluid called endolymph, contained in a thin layer of surface cells served by many blood vessels. These cells, called the stria vascularis, include the sensory hairs that pick up the vibrations of sound waves and transmit these signals to the brain where we decide what it is we just heard.
Positively charged potassium ions carry electrical charge across many gradients in the body, including the one in the cochlea. Potassium uptake channels in those surface cells of the cochlea grab most of the potassium ions for themselves, resulting in a positive voltage of 80–100 millivolts (mV) in the endolymph. Nearby ducts of the eardrum are deprived of potassium ions, and therefore take on a -70 mV charge.
The resting hair cells in the ear can have a charge too, because they are surrounded by the charged tissue cells of the cochlea and the endolymph. When sound waves make the hairs move, ion channels at the base of the hairs open and potassium ions flow in, reducing the polarization on the hair and triggering nerve cells to send a signal to the brain. This flow of ions is the reason we can turn the mechanical signal of sound waves into an electrical signal for our nervous system.
Harnessing the "endocochlear potential" has baffled scientists since the phenomenon was discovered in 1950, because the voltage and extractable power in our ears is too low to be picked up by even the most efficient circuits. But a research team from MIT and Harvard has finally done it.
The researchers put an electronic chip on the surface of an anesthetized guinea pig, connected by fine wires to electrodes in the rodent's cochlea. They extracted about 1 nanowatt of power, or one billionth of a watt, enough to power a wireless radio, according to a paper to be published in Nature on Sunday.
Developed further, this technology could be used to power small devices implanted near the ear for drug delivery or hearing aids, but that's going to take time. A small hearing aid consumes less than one milliwatt of power, but that's six orders of magnitude larger than what this team gleaned from the guinea pig.

Happy Hour at Duffy's Sports Grill in Fort Lauderdale: WarGames
Photo by Pat Rothblatt
The place: Duffy's Sports Grill, 1804 Cordova Road, Fort Lauderdale. Call 954-713-6363.
The hours: 4 p.m. to close every day.
The deal: Everything is two-for-one (excluding shots, pitchers, and buckets of beer).
The digs: Duffy's is the latest level in the ever-escalating sports-bar arms race. This location is one of the newest of the chain's 22 bases
that run up the coast from Fort Lauderdale to Melbourne. The patio, next to the front door, is filled with so many plasmas that after a time, it must seem like ESPN is on the heads-up display in your retina. Inside the warehouse-sized space, the bar area is surrounded by a setup of video projectors that bring to mind the NORAD command center in Cheyenne Mountain or Mission Control at NASA. The next step in sports bar design will no doubt be a Buckminster Fuller-style geodesic dome tiled with flat screens or something resembling the holodeck on Star Trek.
Framed sports memorabilia, meticulously hung, covers every square inch of wall space not taken up by TVs. An assortment of pro and college football team helmets cover the partitions that separate the dining area. Female servers wear NFL player jerseys and the males wear referee uniforms like they have at Foot Locker.
The verdict: I was told beforehand by a friend that Duffy's has the best happy hour in town. The manager billed it the same way when he spoke to me. And I'd have to agree. There are a few other happy hours that come close, in their convenient hours or in their simplicity -- but most still have glitches such as not being offered on weekends, stopping for a few hours, or covering only domestics and wells. The few restrictions at Duffy's seem to be in place only so people have a better chance of making it home in one piece.

Re: How do you hide the shadows in a 360 pano ?
Expand Messages
- hi johann!
to avoid having shadows in the final panorama, you need to have all areas with shadows, appear in other images, without the shadows. so, first, mind your own shadow! second, you may need to move the tripod, and shoot the ground from a different position, and then use viewpoint correction in ptgui pro. it helps to plan ahead, eg, make sure the tripod shadow doesn't go from ground to building, or some other complex 3d thing.
as a last resort, play in your favorite image editor, trying to match luminosity, colors, etc, to make shadows less obvious. you would need considerable editing skills for a good result, me thinks.
hope this helps!

shoot the area without a shadow you will need to clone some regions from
your existing panorama. Export a rectilinear view with the shadow in it
and use healing brush or patch tool in photoshop to hide the black holes.

I extract a cube face in Pano2VR and touch it up in Photoshop. I try and shoot several "down" images without shadows to aid in touch-up, but it's not always possible.

A PASTOR who travelled to the Philippines to help in the clear-up following Typhoon Haiyan is to visit Tiverton to give a talk about fundraising and future plans.
Peter Jenkins is giving a talk at King Street Chapel on Saturday, January 25, starting at 6.30pm.
Mr Jenkins, 68, missions director for Victory Church in Wales, travelled to Tacloban, one of the worst affected areas, after hearing friends were among the more than 6,000 people who died in the disaster.
He is aiming to raise £10,000 to build a church in the Philippines.
Pizza King is giving pizza for the talk, Ali Baba's is providing its popular potato surprises and home-made soup will be available. Entry is free and donations for the food will go to the Philippines appeal.
Star newspaper advertising sales manager Sharon Mitchell last month raised £1,323 through a charity dinner hosted by the Golden Panda in Tiverton and donations from local church members.

|Cool photo. I had to save it and rotate it 180 degrees to figure that out, however. This is one of the majority of instances where rotating the photo doesn't make it look more exposed or overhanging, it just makes it disorienting to look at.

The house was beautiful, our room was amazing and was so comfortable with real nice furniture and walk in wardrobe. The shared bathroom was actually like an en suite between two rooms which we loved and just felt like our own bathroom. Everything was spotless, sooo clean. It isnt actually a hostel but a shared house but it was fine. Breakfast got a bit boring, staff were a bit useless; we ordered a airport pick up and it didn't turn up. Area is a bit dodgy but just be in before dark!!

CARY, N.C. – Over the last few years, Tim Howard has had no shortage of memorable moments in a United States jersey. His performance in the 2-0 upset of Spain in the 2009 Confederation Cup, a kick in the ribs courtesy of Emile Heskey during the World Cup in Rustenburg last June, and, nine days later, the throw that initiated perhaps the most famous moment in American soccer history spring quickly to mind.
For Howard, though, a friendly played in June, 2008, still sticks out in his mind. In front of a sold-out Giants Stadium, Howard made seven saves to hold then-top-ranked Argentina to a 0-0 draw in the final game before the start of World Cup qualifying.
"I get to thinking about it more as the game comes up. I think it's certainly up there close to the top as far as career highlights," Howard said. "The opponent, the location and the tremendous pride I feel when I pull on the national team jersey came together for one individual performance."
On Saturday, the New Jersey native gets a second shot at Argentina, now ranked fourth in the world, when the two teams clash at New Meadowlands Stadium. Howard says he's looking forward to a rematch with the international giant but is also aware of the increased expectations the last two years have brought.
"It's always fun when we play at home and we see these big, huge American football stadiums sold out or close to being sold out. It's a pretty cool thing for soccer in America," Howard said. "There's a level of expectations fans have set now for themselves and for us. They pay good money to come see a show and it's up to us to dig in and put in a good performance as a team and get results."
Despite the stature of the opponent and the massive crowd set to be on hand, Howard knows that these friendlies are just that, friendlies, and the main focus is winning this summer's CONCACAF Gold Cup and getting into the 2013 Confederations Cup in Brazil.
"Hands down we want to win the Gold Cup," Howard said. "I think that we would be selling everyone short to say that we haven't made that a priority for ourselves. Nothing short of getting into the final and winning it is going to be deemed a success."
Part of the long-term success for the national team is an infusion of youth into an aging defense. New York Red Bulls standout Tim Ream, 23, and Leeds United's Eric Lichaj, 22, are set to take on more substantial roles, and Howard knows how important it is to integrate new additions as quickly as possible.
"The most important thing is time of the field, opening lines of communication and figuring out what helps each other go," Howard said. "Sometimes you have to do it in the thick of games but in the course of two, three and four years, when you come to the end of the road it usually pays off."
Both at Everton and when playing for the USA, Howard has developed a reputation as a vocal goalkeeper. It's not uncommon to see the 32-year-old charging out from the net to confront a defender about a missed tackle or blown assignment. It's a style that Howard thinks defenders, both for club and country, have grown to respect.
"They know I'm not a bad guy and most of the time I'm a friend to them," he said. "It's gotten to a point where they feel they can give it back to me, and that's a good sign because I dish out enough criticism and praise. I feel like they take it positively."
In the end, the mission for Howard and whatever defenders he's playing behind is very simple.
"That's to keep the ball out of the net. It doesn't matter if it's by hook or by crook, you have to do it."

LITHIA — The last time Bailey Schinella's father watched her pitch was tragic. Friday night was a happier occasion with the senior pitching host Newsome to a 6-1 win over East Bay.
Jerry Schinella, who went into cardiac arrest during the seventh inning of a Feb. 8 game against visiting Chamberlain, watched from the parking lot Friday. He is recovering just fine, his daughter said.
"He's always been my coach and it's important for him to come out and see me play," Schinella said.
Schinella scattered four hits and struck out 11 in the decisive win over the Wolves' Class 5A, District 8 rival.
The Indians (5-5) scored their lone run in their first at-bat on Nicole Kennedy's RBI triple. Starting pitcher Sierra Rock hit a two-out single and pinch-runner Hannah Heathley scored on Kennedy's hit.
Newsome (4-1-1 including the forfeit vs. Chamberlain) went ahead with two runs in the bottom of the second. Nicolette Levine and Kylie Brown hit singles with Levine scoring on a wild pitch and Brown racing home on a subsequent throwing error by East Bay catcher Aliceson Holliday.
The Wolves broke open a close game with a three-run fifth highlighted by Schinella's two-run double and two-base error. Caitie Lytle led off that inning with a double and Felecia Heason singled with both runners coming in before Schinella.
"She bats third for me," Newsome coach Dawn Vanella said. "No doubt, she's one of our top hitters."
As for Schinella performing well in front of her father, Vanella said: "I think it means a lot for the whole team."

Moving AHEAD Together Conference
The Moving AHEAD Together conference is co-hosted by the Georgia and Florida state affiliates of the Association of Higher Education and Disability. The conference speakers and events are selected to serve individuals with interest in and responsibility for providing access for students with disabilities in the postsecondary environment. The conference events are located on the campus of Valdosta State University in Valdosta, Georgia on November 9 and 10, 2016; a convenient location for individuals in the States of Georgia and Florida and throughout the Southeast.
It is with great pleasure that the Moving AHEAD Together conference planning committee announces the following exciting and informative agenda:
Day 1
The pre-conference workshop, held on the morning of Day 1, is designed for new professionals in the Disability Services field. Seasoned Disability Services Professionals (DSPs) will address topics such as documentation review, transition issues from high school to college, and models of disability. This workshop will be offered at no additional charge for conference attendees. Folks who would like a refresher are welcome to join in!
We will kick-off the official conference with a luncheon and keynote speaker. What an exciting time in the history of our country to come together! Tony Thomas (higher education attorney, political speech writer, and civil rights activist) will provide predictions and anticipations of what's headed our way in regards to disability services after the results of the election of our nation's president are known.
The afternoon will include an interactive session on thinking "outside of the box" to influence campus culture in an effort to break down barriers to access.The day will conclude with the GA and FL AHEAD Business Meetings.
Day 2
The State of Georgia ADA Coordinator's Office is sponsoring nationally known disability lawyer and consultant, Jeanne Kincaid, to spend day 2 with us. Many of you will recognize Jeanne's name from her advisory work with AHEAD. A special thanks to the ADA Coordinator for the Georgia State Financing & Investment Commission, Mike Galifianakis, and Assistant State ADA Coordinator, Stacey Peace, and their team for making the Moving AHEAD Together conference an excellent resource for DSPs in the State of Georgia and throughout the Southeast.
In addition to the wisdom shared by our speakers, attendees will have multiple opportunities to network with colleagues, peruse the Disability History Exhibitdisplay, and visit with vendors throughout the conference.

Spain Approves Bid by E.On, But Imposes 19 Conditions
By RENWICK McLEAN
Published: July 29, 2006
Efforts by Prime Minister Jos?uis Rodr?ez Zapatero to create a national champion in the energy industry suffered a setback on Friday after regulators here approved a bid by a German company, E.On, to acquire the Spanish electricity company Endesa.
Still, the approval came with conditions that critics portrayed as an indirect form of protectionism.
Mr. Zapatero has campaigned on behalf of what is widely considered a less attractive bid for Endesa by the Spanish company Gas Natural. He says the deal would benefit Spain by creating a Spanish energy company large enough to compete in the global marketplace.
Spanish officials have also opposed the E.On bid on the ground that Endesa, the largest Spanish electricity company, is a ''strategic asset'' that should remain in Spanish hands to guarantee the nation's energy supply.
The regulators appeared to agree. In explaining its ruling, the National Energy Commission said that it had been influenced by the argument against foreign control of Endesa.
''The conditions are fundamentally and exclusively aimed at avoiding the risk to supply,'' Maite Costa, the president of the commission, said at a news conference Friday in Madrid.
But others scoffed at the idea that the bid posed any risk to energy supplies. ''The lack of supply will exist with or without E.On,'' said Manuel Romera, director of the finance department at the Instituto de Empresa Business School in Madrid.
Mr. Romera said that Spain's energy problems stemmed not from inadequate supplies of natural gas or oil, but from a low capacity to convert them into electricity.
The 19 conditions that were imposed on E.On's bid, valued at 27 billion euros ($34 billion), were aimed at limiting the company's operations in Spain and guaranteeing Spanish control of the energy sector. They include requirements that E.On sell about 15 percent of Endesa's assets.
The company is also required to seek authorization from Spanish regulators to sell large amounts of E.On stock to a third party or to otherwise give the outsider a significant level of control over Endesa's activities.
''The conditions are tougher than they look,'' Mr. Romera said.
But, he said, ''the commission has decided to allow entry'' because that was in line with what he called Spain's moderate protectionism.
In a statement released Friday, E.On said it was prepared to use all the legal tools within its reach to contest the ''substantial conditions'' imposed by the commission, saying it had found ''no justification'' for them.
The company emphasized that it remained ''totally committed to the acquisition and thinks the operation will benefit all of the interested groups, customers, employees and shareholders, as well as the Spanish economy in general.''


text: Big 12 could ease WVU's frequent flyer miles By Dave Hickman February 28, 2013 Story Share MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Bob Huggins has said time and again over the course of the past few months that the travel woes that his West Virginia basketball team has encountered this season were not something that really could be gauged until after the Mountaineers went through it once."You don't know until you do it,'' Huggins said again this week.Well, actually Huggins did know. Or at least he had a pretty good idea.That's why, long before West Virginia played its first Big 12 basketball game, Huggins lobbied for some concessions to all the travel. I clearly recall asking him about his reaction to this year's schedule the day it was announced last August. He said little about the competition because he already knew what that would be like.He talked about the logistics."It would have been nice to have had a few of those road games scheduled before we go back to school in January,'' he said at the time. "And making all of those trips separately isn't ideal, either.''Well, as West Virginia's first season in the league winds down, everyone else is beginning to take notice of the Mountaineers' travel woes. Thankfully, they're going to try to do some things to alleviate the problems."There's some things we can do to be mindful of the special challenges they have,'' Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby told The Oklahoman's Berry Tramel. Those "special challenges,'' of course, have everything to do with the Mountaineers facing long trips to every game they play in every sport. When the Mountaineers joined the Big 12, most of the travel talk centered on teams like Texas and Oklahoma and everyone else having to make yearly trips to way-out-of-the-way Morgantown. But that's nothing compared to WVU making almost weekly trips to way-out-of-the-way Texas and Oklahoma, not to mention Kansas and Iowa.It has worn on the Mountaineers, particularly in basketball. Football coach Dana Holgorsen has continually downplayed the travel, pointing out that the only real difference between traveling to, say, Syracuse or Connecticut is maybe an extra hour or so in the air. The packing, the bus trip to the airport, getting through security, getting to a hotel; all of that is the same. It's just an extra hour or so. No big deal.And in football it's not that big a deal. Even playing a night game in some faraway locale is no burden because it's a Saturday night game. It's the weekend. What does it matter if you get back an hour or two later in the wee hours of Sunday?Basketball? It's a real pain. For starters, there are nine Big 12 road trips, not four or five as in football. There are Monday games and Wednesday games. West Virginia had more of those (five) than Saturday road games (four) this season, and every one of them was or will be a 9 p.m. Eastern start. Consider that a 9 p.m. start is two hours later than most teams in the East begin, then add on that extra hour or so in the air. So instead of getting back to Morgantown at 1 a.m. after a trip for a 7 p.m. game at St. John's, it's 4 a.m. after a visit to somewhere in the Midwest. And that doesn't even include travel delays that at least once this season had the basketball team getting off the bus at the Coliseum at roughly dawn.All of this was predictable, of course, but it's one thing to theorize it and quite another to live it. And live it again."It's not a one-shot deal,'' Huggins said. "I think at the end of the season we'll have to see what the cumulative effect is.'' No one is saying that the travel is the reason the basketball team is mired in a rather torturous season on the court, or that it was the cause of the football team's second-half-of-the-season collapse. But it certainly doesn't serve to balance the playing field at all with the rest of the Big 12 teams, all of which have one long trip a year to Morgantown (with the added benefit of a time difference that works in their favor, not against them) rather than nine.And so the Big 12 will try to make some accommodations the second time around.One will be scheduling a couple of those road trips in basketball for early January before classes begin in Morgantown. For instance, classes did not begin this semester until Jan. 14, yet two of the three Big 12 basketball games the Mountaineers played before then were at home. That was something Huggins lobbied to change when the schedule was being drawn up, but the league chose not to. Flipping even one game would help.The Mountaineers also had five Monday or Wednesday road games this season, all of them 9 p.m. Eastern tipoffs. Even changing one or two of those to 8 p.m. starts would help.And what about some tandem games? The Mountaineers had only one Monday night game on the road this season, at Kansas State, but that was after a Saturday home game. Why not try to schedule that Saturday game on the road and make it one trip. There are plenty of sites in the Big 12 close enough to each other that it's just a short bus trip on Sunday to the next game and there are no missed classes.West Virginia is also lobbying to avoid back-to-back road trips in football, although that doesn't seem nearly as significant a problem. Again, in football it's an extra two hours on a plane (an hour each way) spread over two days when classes aren't in session. But every little bit helps. "I think we've all got some ideas,'' Huggins said. "I think at the end of the year we all need to put our heads together and figure out what's the most fair and equitable thing to do.''Reach Dave Hickman at 304-348-1734 or email@example.com or follow him at Twitter.com/dphickman1.

Before plummeting to the earth , WindsorCpt. Brad Krewench, 31, isn't thinking about what could go wrong, he said he trusts the equipment, instead he's thinking of the brave soldiers who leapt before him.
Windsor reservist parachutes to honour D-Day veterans
Before plummeting to earth, Windsor Capt. Brad Krewench, 31, isn't thinking about what could go wrong — he trusts the equipment — instead he's thinking of the brave soldiers who jumped before him.
"I jump to honour them every time I step in to the slip stream of a propeller and when I look up to the canopy above, I think of them," said Krewench. "I think of what a huge honour it is for me to get to do what I do. I absolutely love it."
Krewench is one of a thousand troops pulling their parachutes over the skies of Normandy, France, this week, in honour of veterans and to commemorate the 70th anniversary of D-Day. He will be jumping over four locations tied to where the 101st and 82nd airborne divisions landed in the Second World War, near Utah Beach.
Krewench has been in the Canadian Armed Force for 12 years and joined the Liberty Jump Team out of Texas three years ago to re-enact historic airborne operations.
This year in Normandy, they will be doing jumps from "Whiskey 7," a C-47, as part of demonstrations to other generations on how their ancestors contributed to the war.
"It wasn't just a fun jump but it was at night and under fire," Krewench said of veterans who took part in the war. "When they jumped they didn't know if they would live to land."
The first commemorative jump took place June 4 over Angoville-Au-Plain, the second was over Amfreville. The third jump over Graignes is June 7 and the final one over La Fiere June 8.
"The most exciting one will be a mass drop I will be participating in," said Krewench.
He said around 20 planes will carry 50 jumpers each, filling the sky with nearly a thousand parachute canopies at once.
"I was invited by the German airborne division to jump with them in the La Fiere jump, which is behind the church at Sainte-Mère-Église and is a famous site because the 101st airborne were dropped in the wrong spot and one man landed on the church steeple. It was well depicted in the movie The Longest Day."
Krewench said after landing at the drop zone the troops will march to the town square in front of the famous church for a remembrance ceremony.
"I want to meet as many vets as I can here. And I brought an extra M42 jacket to have vets sign so I can have it framed and put in my office. I want to hopefully learn more about individual experiences from men who did what I am doing, 70 years ago," said Krewench.
Krewench said he got into the military because of his grandfathers, one was in the Royal Navy for 27 years and in the Korean War, and the other was a tail gunner in the Air Force.
"I do try and think about the veterans and I think that they might be in the crowd looking on with their grandchildren," said Krewench.

Addiction and Substance Abuse
Clean urine test
I have been clean and sober for a long time but recently tried some adhd medication (adderall). Now I have to take a urine test at work. Will this show up as amphetamines in my urine. How long will it take to have a 0 result in my urine. Thanks.
Yes, it is very likely that Adderall will show up as an amphetamine in your urine since Adderall and Adderall XR are made up of a combination of amphetamine salts.
When will you have a 0 result in your urine? That is difficult to predict, but depends on things such as:
1. your kidney function
2. your liver function
3. the amount of Adderall that you took
4. how long ago you took the Adderall
5. how sensitive the urine test is
6. what other medications you took at the same time
Adderall has a half-life of about 12 hours, so, all other things being equal, there should be no Adderall in your system after about 60 hours. However, this is just a rough estimate, at best, since I do not know the data listed above.

Mitt Romney must be a superfan of a good 80's power ballad because he just nabbed an endorsement from the king of rock opera.
That's right folks, Meatloaf has officially endorsed Mitt Romney.
According to the Washington Post, Meat (as I call him) performed a short concert at a high school football stadium in Defiance, Ohio to rally nearly 12,000 supporters before Romney joined him on stage to give a speech.
Meat told the crowd, "There has storm clouds come over the United States. There is thunderstorms over Europe. There are hail storms – and I mean major hail storms – in the Middle East. There are storms brewing through China, through Asia, through everywhere, and there's only one man that on the other night when President Barack Obama, God bless him, said to Mitt Romney, 'The Cold War is over.'"
He then added, "I have never heard such a thing in my life. The man needs to understand Putin and Russia. So I want you to know that there is one man who will stand tall in this country and fight the storm and bring the United States back to what it should be – Governor Mitt Romney!"
Who knew Meatloaf was such a foreign policy expert?
Romney was said to be elated that the rocker gave him his endorsement. Romney told supporters, "I don't recall having so much fun in such a long time as to be able to listen to these guys this evening. You were over here watching them. Was [that] not just amazing to have Big and Rich performing? And then Meat Loaf? I mean, Meat Loaf was here! Can you believe it? And of course having Randy Owen of Alabama – wasn't that fabulous?"
I mean I guess Meatloaf could have had something else to do that day, but not too busy to interrupt his task of fading into obscurity to endorse Romney.
Let's take a look back at Meatloaf's better days with his greatest song of all time (that he did not perform at the Romney rally).

Reduced to its bare outline, the "Dreyfus Affair," which rocked French society for close to a decade, seems simple. The year was 1894, and officers in the French army suspected there was a spy in their midst, someone in the highest ranks, who was selling secrets to Germany. They checked a list of officers with access to the information passed, and what popped out at them was the name Alfred Dreyfus. Of course! A Jew. Who else would betray the nation?
Based on only the flimsiest evidence — the handwriting of the accused vaguely resembled that of the actual spy — Dreyfus was found guilty, despite his pleas of innocence, and was then relegated to a horrific degradation ceremony on Saturday, Jan. 5, 1895.
In the courtyard of the école Militaire in Paris, in front of diplomats, journalists and aristocrats, Gen. Paul Darras, on horseback, his sword high, announced: "Alfred Dreyfus, you are no longer worthy of bearing arms. In the name of the people of France, we dishonor you."
Dreyfus protested yet again: "Soldiers, an innocent man is being dishonored. Long live France! Long live the Army!"
The public had not been invited, and yet thousands of people had assembled outside the gates. They shouted: "Death! Death to the Jews!"
Sgt. Maj. Bouxin, of the Garde Républicaine, then ripped the decorations from Dreyfus' cap and sleeves and tossed them to the ground. "Long live France!" Dreyfus wailed. "I am innocent! I swear it on the heads of my wife and my children!"
His clothes in tatters, the "guilty" man was forced to make a tour of the military assembly while the crowd called him "Coward! Judas! Dirty Jews!"
Dreyfus was then shipped to Devil's Island, where he remained for more than four years, the majority of it spent in a punishing form of solitary confinement.
After this point, everything about the Dreyfus Affair — as it was called by Dreyfusards and anti-Dreyfusards — became complicated, with repeated dissimulation and abuses of power. The real spy's identify was soon discovered by military and legal officials, but almost all of them still thought Dreyfus guilty. Saying otherwise meant discrediting the major institutions of French society — the army, the Catholic Church and the aristocracy.
These intricacies, especially the legal abuses, are revisited in Louis Begley's new book, Why the Dreyfus Affair Matters, published by Yale University Press. Begley has all the requisite credentials for the assignment: Most readers know him as the author of About Schmidt (made into a popular film with Jack Nicholson). But till his recent retirement, he was also a senior partner at Debevoise & Plimpton, where he practiced law for 45 years.
These same credentials, however, seem to work against the work's best intentions. The author's interest in the case is almost purely legal, and he examines it with great scrupulosity in an attempt to attack not anti-Semitism or the French but the legal abuses perpetrated during the George W. Bush administration.
Begley will give us a chunk of Dreyfus history, then tell us what Bush and his cronies did wrong, and how the French abuses forecast them. So we hear of Dreyfus suffering on Devil's Island, and are then told that the Guantánamo detainees may be just as innocent as the unfortunate Frenchman.
There is nothing wrong with any of this, though it seems skewed in its reasoning. And that's because there really is only one lesson to be drawn from the Dreyfus Affair — and that's a Jewish one.
The first clue that something is amiss with Begley's book is that there's not a single reference to Theodor Herzl, who was a prominent player — especially in the one significant sense that holds the key to the meaning of events for Jews.
The spy case marked a seminal moment in the 19th century that provided a foretaste of what was to come in the 20th — both the anti-Semitism that fueled the Nazi movement, and also propelled the Vichy government in France and its own anti-Jewish measures.
To understand these 20th-century implications, one must look closely at how the affair affected Herzl. He witnessed Dreyfus' degradation ceremony, and myth has it that the incident motivated this assimilated Viennese Jew, stationed in Paris as a journalist, to write the famous pamphlet, The Jewish State, the bible of modern political Zionism.
But according to certain Herzl biographers, the writer was working toward his conversion to Zionism for longer than is commonly accepted, and the Dreyfus Affair simply provided the last straw.
At the time of Dreyfus' arrest on Oct. 15, 1894, Herzl had just completed his play, "The New Ghetto." The central character was Dr. Jakob Samuel, a high-minded Jewish lawyer who was trying to break out of the very social Jewish "ghetto" he felt was constraining him, when he was killed in a duel by an anti-Semitic aristocrat. The death was meant to be a warning to Jews that their position in "enlightened" Europe was untenable.
But Herzl also happened to be the Paris correspondent of Vienna's Neue Freie Presse and was expected to file stories about the Dreyfus trial. Like other Jews of the period, he believed the army officer was guilty and, for two weeks, sent cables reflecting this position.
Then came the degradation ceremony, which shocked Herzl. One traitor, and the people call for the death of all Jews? Could this really be happening in modern France 100 years after the Declaration of the Rights of Man? What could be expected of less civilized countries?
In Herzl's eyes, Dreyfus represented the tragedy of the emancipated Jew — trapped in the "new ghetto": He conformed to modern society's ways, spoke its language, sewed its insignia on his shoulder — only to have it torn off on a gray winter morning. Herzl raised his voice in warning by writing The Jewish State and spending the rest of his life in the cause of Zionism.
Dreyfus was eventually freed from Devil's Island, but, ironically enough, not before he was mistreated in any number of other terrible ways by the military and the legal establishment. After the horrors of his imprisonment, he was said to never have had another peaceful night.
Still, there was one stroke of luck. He died in 1935; if he'd lived longer, he, like other assimilated Jews who hadn't listened to Herzl's call to establish a state in Zion, might have been a victim of the Vichy government, which has been characterized as the revenge of the anti-Dreyfusards. Most likely, he would have been sent to the infamous French camp called Drancy, and then to Auschwitz to suffer again at the hands of anti-Semites.
Herzl had witnessed the truth as the French mob called for death to the Jews. No matter the insights that Begley provides into the intricacies surrounding this infamous case, Herzl's truth — his flash of insight during the degradation ceremony — is really the only usable lesson that Jews can draw from this tragic affair.

Its impossible to kill the final boss because it cant be hurt after you destroy its claws.
Rated 1 / 5 stars
this game is so hard, mostly because the tesla on the sides is fakin retarded.
Rated 2 / 5 stars
The concept is good, but the game is simply too difficult once you get past the first boss. The robots spawn far too low down on the screen for it to be possible for you to stop them, since there's a cooldown of some description, plus the electric bar combined with the second boss' gimmick means your money is virtually cut down by three-quarters when you eventually reach the third boss. If the cooldown was reduced amogst other things, I think it'd be easier.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Howe do you defeat the boss..................?
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
the game started out fine with a bit of skillplay but as you progress i started noticing that having more shockbars can make it so that you can't hit enemy's not just because the bar might hit you but actually make you get stuck since the bars are going one after the other, to make an permanent barrier. and even if you were to get stuck on the other side, you'd still have many random enemy's spawning on the side you were stuck in before. might want to look into that, hope this helps you in any future endevours.

Is 2015 Poised to be the Year of the Data Breach?
In the middle of last year, we shared a blog that outlined 7 enterprise security assessment tests for determining network security threats. In that post we shared the Identity Theft Resource Center's (ITRC) list of security breaches, which detail the numbers of breaches, along with the number of records exposed, by industry category.
As more businesses adopt and evolve their cloud computing strategies for 2015, security remains a top concern. While data breaches don't all involve the cloud, the numbers from ITRC for the entire 2014 compared to the first three months of 2015 paint a picture that certainly warrants overall concern.
From the 2014 ITRC summary report (year-end)
Total number of breaches and records exposed by category:
- Financial – 43 breaches, 1,198,492 records exposed
- Business – 258 breaches, 68,237,914 records exposed
- Education – 57 breaches, 1,247,812 records exposed
- Government and Military – 92 breaches, 6,649,319 records exposed
- Healthcare – 333 breaches, 8,277,991 records exposed
TOTAL for 2014: 783 breaches and 85,611,528 records exposed
Those are some big numbers for 2014! But how do they compare with nearly three months' worth of data for 2015 under our belt?
From the 2015 ITRC year-to-date report
Total number of breaches and records exposed by category:
- Financial – 16 breaches, 396,000 records exposed
- Business – 76 breaches, 74,988 records exposed
- Education – 15 breaches, 9,208 records exposed
- Government and Military – 6 breaches, 13,084 records exposed
- Healthcare – 61 breaches, 99,208,671 records exposed
TOTAL for 2015 year-to-date: 174 breaches, 99,701,951 records exposed
While many of the records exposed this year have come at the heels of the Anthem healthcare data breach, it would seem hackers thus far are going big, or going home. As companies are expanding their cloud computing footprint, larger and deeper data breaches occurring—what are you doing to protect your data?

- The Vale of White Horse (part of Oxfordshire since 1974) is covered by the Berkshire series (published 1906-27). There are currently no plans to revise these volumes, which would unfortunately require considerable additional funding.

- Where can I find VCH books?
- Has my parish been covered?
