text: I want to stay two nights during the Sun-Thurs period in a 2 bedroom with another mom and her kids. We live only about an hour and a half south of Disney, so while the husbands work, we are hoping to go play a little. We are hoping to go during the first half of August, and I am trying to pick between vwl and bwv. So with that background in mind, can you give me your best advice on these questions? 1. Do you think there is any chance we can even get the room? Living in FL we don't usually do disney during the summer so I am not as familiar with how busy DVC is during this time. 2. Do you think the living room is bigger in BWV than in VWL? After just staying in VWL a couple months ago, it seems like it to me. Is that all in my head? I just don't want it to seem too crowded while we are in there. And do you think we should go with the quieter vwl or the busier, more exciting bwv with the kids? It's hard for me to decide since I love them both! 3. Is there a counter service place to eat at BWV? That is one of my only complaints there is that it seems like unless you want a hot dog or slice of pizza, there aren't many options. Am I forgeting something? Thanks!!!

Around 20% of Australians don't drink alcohol at all, of which a little less than half have never consumed alcohol, and a little over half have given up for at least the previous 12 months. That leaves around 80% of Australians who do drink, of which approximately half drink at least once per week. Sadly around 5% of the population drinks on a daily basis, leading to alcoholism and alcohol abuse.
Regular and prolonged alcohol use causes a myriad of physical and psychological problems, such as:
- Cardiovascular disease – stroke, high blood pressure, heart disease and circulatory problems
- Cancer – liver, breast, oesophagus, pharynx, larynx, colorectum
- Malnutrition
- Obesity
- Liver diseases
- Mental health issues – depression, anxiety, dementia
- Self-harm and suicide
And these issues are specific to the individual, and don't take into account the toll it has on their family and friends. Financial stress, violence and mental abuse are just some of the potential affects the loved ones of an alcohol abuser could be subjected to.
But it doesn't have to be like that. A combination of an individual recognising the signs of alcoholism and alcohol abuse in themselves, or a family member or friends recognising the signs and talking to the person about them could have positive life changing consequences for everyone involved.
But what are the signs of alcoholism and alcohol abuse that we should be looking for?
High tolerance levels
Like with any drug, the more you of it, the more tolerant your body becomes to it. This means you need more and more alcohol to get the same 'buzz'. If you're at a point where you need an excessive amount to feel much at all, then chances are you're drinking to often.
Withdrawal symptoms
If you feel anxious, get the sweats, feel depressed, experience nausea and/or vomiting, struggle to sleep, lose your appetite, get fatigued or start shaking when the affects of alcohol starts wearing off, then you are experiencing withdrawal symptoms and you probably have an alcohol dependency issue.
Can't stop at one or two
If you've set yourself a goal to consume just one or two drinks, but by the end of the night you've had a lot more, guess what? You don't have your drinking under control and alcoholism could be the root cause.
Keep falling off the horse
Repeated failed attempts to quit drinking alcohol is a sign of alcohol dependency, despite your tremendous desire to stop. You may have even given up the booze for a while on several occasions, but in the end you're always dragged back in.
Drinking alone
If you drink alone, or you try and hide you drinking from others, you may have a problem. Hiding your drinking from others is a sign that you either know you have an alcohol dependence issue, or you're worried others might think it. If you're worried others might think you have an alcohol dependence issue, bite the bullet and ask them. It may be the best question you ever ask.
Boozing becomes the priority
Are you putting a session on the drink ahead of pre-arranged activities? When you call friends or family to rearrange a catch-up, miss important appointments, or skip work for the bottle, it's cause for concern. Don't let alcohol become more important than activities you used to enjoy taking part in.
Planning to drink
If the first thought that comes in to your head when planning a social event is how to incorporate alcohol, there's an issue. Priority number one for catching up with friends, family and work colleagues should be about spending time with people you care about, not if there's booze available to drink.
Alcohol becomes your focus
When you get to the point that you're constantly thinking about alcohol, it's time to seek professional help. If you wake in the morning and feel like a drink, it's time to seek professional help. Putting everything aside to think solely about when you'll have your next drink is the very definition of alcoholism. Do something about it.
You're hurting others
It's one thing doing damage to yourself, it's quite another when others are dragged into your alcohol-fuelled world. Alcohol abuse can drain the bank account, destroy the family unit, and put the handbrake on career progression or even potentially cost you your job. Get help!
Alcoholism and alcohol abuse – the next step
If you recognise any of these signs in your own life, or the life of a friend or family member, it's time to address the issue immediately. If you think you have a drinking problem, there's a good chance you do. Accepting you have a problem is the hardest step, it takes enormous amounts of courage and bravery. But once you do, seeking help will be far easier than if you're in denial.
However, you need will to talk to someone to get the help you need. If there is someone you love and trust completely, they would be a great starting point. Otherwise you'll need to seek out a professional such as a doctor or counsellor.
But that is just the beginning of the journey. It will be tough, but the outcome will be an extraordinary positive on your life from a physical, mental and emotional perspective, not to mention the impact it will have on those who love you.

History of CBS Ennistymon
The Christian Brothers have a long and proud tradition in education in Ennistymon. In 1824, at the request of Rev. Peter O'Loughlin, Blessed Edmund Ignatius Rice sent three Brothers to the town. Their mission was to establish a school for the Catholic boys of the area who had no opportunity of receiving any education. Secondary pupils continued to attend classes in the old building until 1970 when a new school was built on the "top of the hill"
The present school has 10 classrooms, a Science Laboratory and a fully equipped Computer Room. In 2007 we acquired the former primary school which has since been converted into a Woodwork Room, and a Technical Drawing Room. The facilities in the Parish Community Centre are used for Games and PE and also for whole school gatherings. Outdoor games are played on the school's playing field.
C.B.S. Ennistymon is now getting ready to change once more. The decision to amalgamate the three Secondary schools into a new Community School has been announced by the Government. The new school, which is included in the Public Private Partnership Scheme, will be built on a greenfield site on the Lahinch Road. We look forward to bringing the traditional values of Edmund Rice - inclusion and concern for all - into the new school, which will cater for the educational needs of this area in the coming years.

CBT Nuggets - Cisco CCNP Security 300-209 SIMOS (2014) [23 mp4]
English | Size: 1.96 GB (2,109,790,175 bytes )
Category: CBTs
In this course, you will learn how to implement and manage VPNs on Cisco routers and ASA firewalls. As part of your studies regarding VPNs, the course will include recommendations of specific videos from the CCNP Security VPN2.0 course. Viewing these additional videos are required for preparation for the new 300-209 certification.
Trainer: Keith Barker
Released: July 10, 2014
This Implementing Cisco Secure Mobility Solutions (SIMOS) (300-209) course provides training on how to configure and implement a variety of Virtual Private Network (VPN) solutions on the Cisco ASA firewall and Cisco IOS software platforms. Topics include IKEv2, DMVPN, FlexVPN, GETVPN, and troubleshooting.
Related area of expertise:
Cisco security
Recommended skills:
CCNA Route/Switch and CCNA Security certification (or equivalent knowledge and skills)
Knowledge of Microsoft Windows
CCNA Security is a pre-requisite for the CCNP Security certification
Recommended equipment:
IOS that supports DMVPN, GETVPN and FlexVPN
IOS and ASA that support IKEv2
1. Welcome and Overview (00:06:36)
In this Nugget, Keith discusses the prerequisites that enable you to get the most from this course, and shares some tips for you to get the most out of this VPN-focused course.
2. Naked DMVPN (00:43:40)
Dynamic Multipoint VPNs (DMVPNs) are a great way to set up full-mesh connectivity with manually setting up n(n-1)/2 static tunnels. In this Nugget, Keith talks with you about the core pieces that make up DMVPNs, including Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP), multipoint GRE tunnel interfaces, dynamic routing protocols, and more. Configuration and verification also is included in this video. Adding IPsec to the DMVPN is covered in the next Nugget.
3. Protected DMVPN (00:32:17)
IPsec can be added to the DMVPN topology (and usually is) to provide encryption, authentication, and data integrity services for the packets traveling between the mGRE interfaces on the DMVPN routers. This Nugget presumes the viewer has viewed the previous Nugget in this course, "Naked DMVPN," and has a basic CCNA Security-level understanding of IKEv1 (IKEv1 and other cryptographic fundamentals can be reviewed in the CCNA Security course, specifically the videos "Cryptography Essesntials" and "IPsec Site to Site VPNs", which are part of the CCNA Security course).
4. TShoot DMVPN (00:37:23)
"What could go wrong?" These are the famous last words of the technician who didn't learn to identify and correct problems that can cause a DMVPN network to fail. In this Nugget, you join Keith to diagnose, troubleshoot and correct multiple problems in an existing DMVPN network.
5. IKE Call Admission Control (00:25:17)
A brute force IKE attack, or even a malfunctioning system making multiple requests, can place a heavy load on the router, which may result in a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. In this Nugget, Keith chats about how IKE Call Admission Control (CAC) can be used to limit the number of IKE sessions that can be negotiated and set up on the router.
6. VTI Site2Site VPNs (00:25:24)
Virtual Tunnel Interfaces (VTIs) are a simpler method of creating IPsec Site to Site tunnels (compared to traditional Crypto Maps), and VTIs offer the benefit of placing specific policies to either encrypted or clear-text traffic that is going through an interface. This Nugget discusses VTIs, and then demonstrates the configuration and verification of a VTI based static Site-to-Site VPN.
7. Dynamic VTI Hub (00:23:54)
Using a Dynamic Virtual Tunnel Interface (DVTI), we can avoid the manual creation of multiple tunnel interfaces on the hub, but instead create a virtual template, and have the router automagically use that template to create individual virtual access interfaces on demand for IPsec sessions between it and the remote routers.
8. FlexVPN Site2Site (00:37:49)
IKEv2 and the new methods of configuring the tunnels might take a bit of getting used to. In this Nugget, Keith helps ease that process by talking with you about the components of IKEv2 including policy, proposal, profile, and key ring. A demonstration of implementing IKEv2 on Cisco IOS is included as well.
9. FlexVPN DVTI (00:09:12)
This Nugget explains some of the benefits of IKEv2, and demonstrates the conversion from a fixed tunnel interface to a virtual access interface using a virtual template and IKEv2.
10. FlexVPN Smart Defaults (00:25:56)
Smart defaults can be used to save configuration time, and may be customized for your needs. In this Nugget, Keith demonstrates the defaults for (and customization of) the IKEv2 proposal, IPsec transform-set and IPsec profile.
11. Certificate Install (00:29:19)
In this Nugget, Keith walks you through configuring an IOS router as a Certificate Authority (CA), as well as other routers becoming CA clients that will authenticate and enroll with the CA (using Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol, SCEP) - in preparation for using their certificates as part of rsa-sig authentication.
12. RSA-Sig IKEv2 Authentication (00:19:41)
Using digital certificates, peers who have a a common trusted CA, can authenticate and use the peer's cert and public key to verify the peer's digital signatures for the authentication of the IKEv2 tunnel. In this Nugget, Keith demonstrates this IKEv2 implementation. Supporting files are contained in the NuggeLab download associated with this course.
13. DVTI IKEv2 Hub and Spoke RSA-Sig (00:16:56)
This Nugget demonstrates how to implement and verify the following: Dynamic Virtual Tunnel Interface (DVTI) on the Hub, Static Tunnel Interfaces on the Spokes, and IKEv2 with RSA-Sig for authentication. Configuration files, including the full final configs, are in the NuggetLab files associated with this course.
14. IKEv2 Pushing Policy (00:12:51)
Adding network authorization and AAA can allows us to push policy down to VPN peers. This is implemented by creating a new (or modifying the default) IKEv2 authorization policy, and including that IKEv2 authorization policy in the IKEv2 profile.
15. FlexVPN Clients (00:30:41)
Setting up a spoke as a FlexVPN "Client" allows opportunities for additional features including multiple peers for fault tolerance, and the pushing of networks based on the IKEv2 authorization policy configured. In this Nugget, Keith walks you through reconfiguring the spoke routers to be FlexVPN clients. The use of the IKEv2 authorization profile also is demonstrated to advertise routes between the FlexVPN client and server.
16. Spoke 2 Spoke FlexVPN (00:32:59)
FlexVPN borrows the Next Hop Resolution Protocol (NHRP) from DMVPN to allow a hub and spoke topology to dynamically build spoke to spoke tunnels. The NuggetLab files contain all the configuration commands used in this video, along with the final working configuration for all four routers.
17. FlexVPN Troubleshooting (00:20:18)
In this Nugget, Keith walks you through a troubleshooting scenario, leveraging show commands and pings to isolate the problems in a FlexVPN network.
Group Encrypted Transport VPN (GETVPN) overcomes the delays often associated with creating a spoke-to-spoke tunnel, as there are no formal IPsec tunnels created between group members. In this Nugget, Keith explains and then demonstrates the implementation and verification of GETVPN.
19. ASA 2 IOS IKEv2 (Site-to-Site IPsec VPN) (00:23:15)
In this Nugget, Keith explains and demonstrates the configuration on the ASA to support both IKEv1 and IKEv2 site-to-site tunnels, as well as configuring a peer IOS router. The router demonstration includes IKEv1 first, with the verification commands to confirm it is working, and then IKEv2 and verification once again that it is working.
20. Verify and TShoot IPsec (00:07:29)
In this Nugget, Keith demonstrates where to look inside ASDM to verify or configure the IPsec Site-to-Site configuration implemented from the CLI in the previous video. Note: The following three videos are from the CCNP Security VPN v2.0 course, and it's recommended that you watch them before watching the next Nugget in this course.
ASA VPN Options Site to Site IPsec VPNs Troubleshooting IPsec Site-to-Site VPNs
21. RA VPNs (00:12:17)
Remote Access (RA) VPNs play a critical role in secure mobility solutions. In this Nugget, Keith refers to some IOS VPN server documentation that may be useful for administrators of IOS based RA VPNs.
22. AnyConnect Client Profile (00:14:24)
Whoever thought an XML file could be so powerful? In this Nugget, Keith demonstrates how to modify an AnyConnect Client Profile (the .xml file) on the ASA, and have that profile be automatically downloaded to AnyConnect Clients when they connect. This is an effective way to modify the AnyConnect client profile of remote systems using the ASA as a central distribution point.
23. Closing Thoughts (00:15:33)
In this Nugget, Keith shares some tips for continued growth and success, along with some troubleshooting strategies.

Short Term Health Insurance Blog

Assurant vs. Secure 12x3 Plans: The Short Term Insurance Face-OffFiled Under: Blogging
Short term health insurance comes in many flavors. You can, for instance, purchase a fixed benefit plan, which offers a set maximum for each covered medical condition, or you can purchase a comprehensive benefit plan, which offers coverage up to the policy maximum, covering applicable usual, customary and reasonable charges for the treatment.
For example, the Assurant Short Term Medical plan is a comprehensive benefits plan, and offers coverage up to a lifetime maximum of $2 million. The Secure 12x3 Short Term Medical insurance plan is a fixed benefit plan, and offers a maximum coverage of $750,000 per coverage period. Please note that this is not a lifetime maximum, and if you purchase another plan, you will be insured for $750,000 again. Both plans feature deductibles and co-insurance amounts.
The Assurant Short Term Medical plan offers benefits for doctors visits, inpatient and outpatient care, emergency room care, ambulance services, prescription drugs, surgery, and transplants. The limits of coverage are determined by the UCR rates prescribed for the zip code and type of medical treatment.
The 12x3 plan includes the following benefits: doctors office visits up to four visits per coverage period; in-hospital regular care charges, up to $1,000 per day including room and board charges; intensive or critical care charges up to $1,250 per day; surgery charges up to $1,000 per day; and ambulance charges up to $250 per emergency. This is only a partial list of the benefits.

These were easy to make and super tasty. All the cream cheese oozing out of the chicken... mmm, mmm, mmm. Great idea to cook the Panko in oil first to keep it extra crispy.
1 c panko
4 tsp canola oil
4 tsp taco seasoning or mixture below*
2 eggs
4 oz reduced fat cream cheese
1/2 c shredded 2% cheddar cheese
2 jalapeño peppers, seeds and ribs removed, minced
3 chicken breasts
* Make your own taco seasoning:
1/2 tsp.
chili powder, 1/4 tsp. cumin, 1/8 tsp. garlic powder, 1/8 tsp. onion
powder, 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper, 1/8 tsp. oregano, 1/8 tsp. paprika, and
salt and black pepper to taste.
Preheat the oven to 375 and place an ovenproof rack onto a rimmed baking dish. Spray with cooking oil. In a small skillet over medium heat, combine the panko with the
canola oil. Cook, stirring often, until the panko is golden and crispy.
Place in a shallow bowl or dish. Add the taco seasoning and stir to combine.
In another shallow bowl or dish, lightly beat the eggs. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and jalapeños. I had to microwave mine for about 20 seconds to mix it. Using a small utility knife, cut a pocket into the side of each
chicken breast, or horizontally slice the chicken through the center,
until it is almost butterflied. Season the chicken lightly with salt and
pepper, and then divide the cream cheese mixture evenly between each
chicken breast's pocket. Use toothpicks to secure, if necessary.
Dip the chicken pieces one at a time first into the egg, and then
into the panko mixture, making sure to coat the chicken completely.
Place the chicken on the prepared baking rack and cook for about 40
minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

Complete waste of time, and thats just the Police commissioner.
In all honesty the public will put down what they feel and the commissioner will inevitably task a few cops to look into their comments and it will then fall away.
So more cops spending less time doing what they are supposed to do so that the commissioner looks good.

Intraoral Camera Colorado Springs
One modern tool that is an important part of dental patient care is the intraoral camera.
Dr. Gary Moore and the staff at Stetson Hills Dental in Colorado Springs combine many things to give patients the best of care — good old-fashioned dentistry techniques, great customer service, a comfortable atmosphere, and the latest in dental technology!
What is an intraoral camera?
An intraoral camera is a very tiny camera with a light attached to it. It is about the size of a dental mirror, so it fits easily into a patient's mouth and can be maneuvered around so that every detail can be captured.
The images the camera captures are projected onto a monitor so that Dr. Moore can get a close look at your teeth and gums and can catch any problems or potential problems.
How does this kind of technology benefit the patient?
There are many ways that an intraoral camera helps to ensure that patients get the best of care:
- Our intraoral camera in Colorado Springs can be used to zoom in on a specific area, and the image can be magnified. With this image, the patient sees what the dentist sees, making it easy for the dentist to show what the problem is and why he or she needs the suggested treatment.
- If a patient is going to have a treatment or dental procedure, it can take "before" and "after" pictures of the patient's teeth. It can also record how a patient's teeth and other structures have changed over the years.
- Getting a close look at teeth can reveal where a patient may be lacking in their oral hygiene regimen. Dr. Moore can point out if the patient should brush or floss better in one particular area, and advise the patient about how to take better care of their teeth before decay sets in.
- The images from an intraoral camera can quickly and easily be sent to a specialist if a referral is needed. They can also be sent to the patient's insurance company so that the recommended treatment can be approved quickly.
What else will happen during my dental exam?
Use of the intraoral camera is just one part of the exam. Dr. Moore will also perform a thorough exam of your teeth using other, old-fashioned methods.
The staff at Stetson Hills Dental will perform a thorough cleaning of your teeth to remove plaque and prevent the build-up of tartar. No matter how well you brush and floss at home, sometimes plaque can be hard to get off teeth. It can harden and become tartar. If tartar is not removed from teeth, it can cause many problems, such as gum disease. Your hygienist at Stetson Hills Dental will need to remove any tartar with special tools.
Dr. Moore will also evaluate your gums for any signs of problems, such as gum disease. If you have any restorations such as a bridge, a filling, or a dental implant, he will check it to make sure it is in good condition and fits comfortably.
He will check your face, neck, and lymph nodes for any abnormalities or signs of disease. Symptoms of some diseases such as kidney disease, diabetes, and heart disease, can also appear in the mouth.
He will also evaluate your bite. If your top and bottom teeth don't align properly, it can cause a lot of pain and problems. Poor alignment can cause the enamel on teeth to wear down, making teeth more susceptible to tooth decay.
He will check your jaw joint for any signs of trouble. Jaw joint problems are very common and can result in headaches, head and neck pain, and many other painful issues.
He will look for any signs that you may have bruxism. Bruxism is the clenching of the jaw and the grinding of teeth. Millions of people have bruxism, but many don't even realize it! Bruxism can cause many problems that Dr. Moore will be able to see, such as fractures in teeth and gum recession and tooth loss. It can also cause headaches, sensitive teeth, and chronically painful jaw muscles.
The dental exam is also the perfect opportunity for a professional to check for oral cancer. Dr. Moore will check for any suspicious lumps, sores, bumps, or patches on the top of the mouth (the hard palate), the tongue, the cheeks, the lips, and the throat.
Using a combination of old-fashioned dentistry and the latest in technology, like the intraoral camera, Dr. Moore and his staff at Stetson Hills Dental provide patients with the best of care!
If you are due for your dental exam, give Stetson Hills Dental in Colorado Springs a call! The number is (719) 694-0400.

There are two ways you can anonymous proxy surf the web. The first is via one of the many web based proxies and the second is with your own proxy server, an elite proxy. Web based proxies sound good in theory, but in practice they are the poorest kind of proxy server you can use to be anonymous online. If hiding your IP is important to you, an elite proxy offers the best solution.
Web based proxies are quick and easy to set up and get running. If you don't want to set one up you can find many websites with free web based proxies to use. The problem with web based proxies is that they are web based and that means they are limited in the kind of websites you can surf with them and also they usually aren't 100% anonymous. IPs from web proxies typically can be detected as proxy IPs, this is bad for being anonymous online.
A better solution is with your own proxy server, called an elite proxy. Elite proxies are 100% anonymous and no-one will be able to tell you changed your IP and are using a proxy server. When you surf the web with an elite proxy it is just like surfing the web from your home computer. There is nothing different and you'll probably even forget you are using a proxy to surf the net.
To anonymous proxy surf you could use a web proxy but they are only good for certain websites. To be 100% anonymous and hide your IP online an elite proxy is the best solution.

Momentum Trading – What Makes Momentum Traders So Profitable and Consistent at Trading
Momentum trading is a style of trading that is also known by another name, swing trading. Traders who use the momentum present in markets to place trades do so by riding price as it swings up and down with the trend over time. This form of trading is frequently used by professional bankers with deadly accuracy, but you will rarely find any private traders using this style.

In April, ESPN.com asked you, the users, to name tennis' greatest living legends. On May 5, we began rolling out your top five in ascending order, beginning with the "Rocket" Rod Laver. But it was Pete Sampras who ran away with the voting as the most eminent and distinguished living legend.
BOSTON -- Figurative lightning has struck the court at Boston University's Agganis Arena. John McEnroe has just beaten Pete Sampras in the Outback Champions Series, his first win over Sampras on any circuit. They first played in 1990 when Sampras was a darkly intense teenager and McEnroe was an older dog running out of new tricks. McEnroe, with typical understatement, stalks around with both arms raised in a victory salute as if he's just captured a major.
Sampras doesn't waste any time going into his obligatory press conference. It's past 10 p.m. and he's tweaked his back -- "Welcome to the senior tour," McEnroe will say later -- and isn't happy about losing, but Sampras is still patient and professional.
Afterward, a starstruck and somewhat tongue-tied reporter from a local network affiliate quizzes Sampras in the corridor.
"Do you still appreciate what you can do out there -- I mean, do you appreciate yourself?" the reporter asks.
Sampras grins devilishly. "I'm not that deep," he says.
We beg to disagree. Sampras, who won our Legends poll and is the only semi-active Living Legend in our lineup this week, has shown himself to be a thoughtful athlete in transition, and an independent-minded and plucky one.
He refused to be hurried out to pasture after his emotional, made-for-Hollywood 2002 U.S. Open win over archrival Andre Agassi, and took the better part of a year to make a decision some thought should be obvious one way or the other. Sampras won't be herded into any neat categories now, either.
"Pete does things in his own methodical way," Jim Courier said last week. "He could have felt like -- 'I've given everything, I have nothing more to give, I have a family and I'm going to raise my family quietly and ride off into my own perfect sunset.'
"And that would have been well within his rights to do. But that would have been a shame for tennis. Ultimately, I think we're all richer that he's back in the sport and he's probably feeling more complete because he's reconnected with his roots."
When I got Sampras aside to ask if he thought he'd ever find something else as stimulating and rewarding as tennis, he politely cut off the last part of the question.
"It's tricky," Sampras said. "It's hard. It's a work in progress, retirement. It's very hard to find what that passion is. When you're 31 and retired, you sort of reinvent yourself and it's not easy to do."
Meanwhile, he's playing a little tennis after not touching a racket for three years.
The last thing the world needs is yet another rehash of Sampras' considerable accomplishments -- the U.S. Open win at age 19, the 14 Grand Slam titles, the seven Wimbledons, the exhausting effort he invested to help win a Davis Cup championship in Russia.
Because Sampras was usually so controlled on the court, his demonstrative moments stand out almost as much as the trophies. He wept during a wearing Australian Open quarterfinal against Courier, stricken by thoughts of his coach, Tim Gullickson, who was fighting a losing battle against cancer.
Because Sampras was so often so dominant, people tend to fixate on the times he played through trouble, like the five-set U.S. Open quarterfinals match against Alex Corretja when a dehydrated Sampras managed to win despite twice vomiting on the court.
But you probably know all that. His résumé has been documented elsewhere. Instead, let's salute the way Sampras is navigating this interesting limbo he's in.
Sure, he gets paid handsomely for those high-profile exhibitions against Roger Federer, and there's darn good prize money in Courier's Outback tour as well. But it still takes nerve to put yourself out there when your records, your style and your presence are still a huge part of the conversation in tennis, thanks to Federer's ardent pursuit of Sampras' landmark 14 Grand Slam titles.
Every time Sampras ducks his head and ambles back to the baseline in that deceivingly casual way, or leaps to volley at the net, he grafts those familiar mannerisms onto a now nearly 37-year-old body, and invites risky and inevitably unflattering comparison with his not-that-much younger self. His willingness to do that speaks to his utter confidence that his legacy is secure.
As McEnroe pointed out, "He doesn't have a whole lot to gain playing me," and more to lose against most opponents except Federer, when even an exhibition win raises eyebrows. "I can see where he's gonna have to pick and choose," McEnroe said. "Hopefully he continues, because I think it would be good for tennis and ultimately good for him."
When Sampras bested Federer in one of their three exhibitions in Asia last fall and looked on the verge of taking him in their Madison Square Garden gala (and anyone who thinks Sampras didn't want that one is demented), he kicked off another round of speculation about whether he could or should return to the ATP tour for a cameo appearance.
Blah, blah, blah. One of the reasons Sampras left the game was to be done with the constant, tiresome scrutiny that trails any player of his stature.
"We've had some very candid talks, and he's been very frank and forthright about the fact that he quit because of all the emotional stress," said Justin Gimelstob, Sampras' outgoing contemporary, who also played in the recent Outback event. "It wasn't like he couldn't do it [physically].
"He could still be a force in certain situations on the tour, but five sets, two weeks in a row is a different ballgame."
During the two barren years that led up to Sampras' final, glorious run at the 2002 U.S. Open, people clamored for him to retire. Now some yearn for him to come back. The chatter must fall somewhere between amusing and annoying for him.
"In the public's mind, I understand that me playing again and me playing OK and playing Roger pretty tight, they say 'Why don't you come back,' but there's a lot more to it than that," Sampras said in Boston. "The day-in, day-out grind of the sport is something I don't have in me anymore.
"You're playing and you want to be competitive and enjoy it, and you're right, it might seem like one foot in, one foot out, but I know in my heart I have two feet out. It's not even a consideration. I never ever thought I would ever come back. You get older, your body doesn't feel that good. I still play OK, but I don't miss that lifestyle."
What he did miss, however, was not only the adrenaline of competition but the discipline that had become second nature to him. Sampras disputes the notion that he's playing out of boredom, but concedes he felt "restless" with his life of leisure. "It gives you something to prepare for, get in shape for, focus for," he said of his part-time playing schedule.
Sampras has been very consistent about what he wants out of this passage, ever since he dipped his sneaker in the pond two years ago by playing an exhibition in Houston and a short season of World Team Tennis.
"I just want to make this clear that me playing some exhibitions is in no way an indication that I'm coming out of retirement," he firmly informed reporters on a conference call back then while his interrogators were still dancing around the topic. And later, "I felt like I had a bull's-eye on my chest for most of my career, so just kind of fending people off is not something I miss."
But something else happened. Those of us on the call remarked afterward how loose and open Sampras sounded, how easily he bantered with us. Things had shifted since his playing days, when he installed deflector shields, funneled everything into his game and didn't leave a lot of room for us to get to know him.
Now, the player some too glibly labeled a tepid personality during his career has written a book (due out later this spring and coauthored by Tennis Magazine's Peter Bodo.) Sampras understands the curiosity about himself and how he did what he did, and he's not resisting it. It's an old, old story -- the great athlete who becomes more accessible once he can do it on his own terms.
"I was guarded and closed like him, too," Chris Evert said in a recent interview. "I opened up towards the end of my career, but you need to save a lot of emotions. You have to reserve it for your matches."
Sampras said that playing occasionally gives him balance, but he also recognizes he might not be able to keep things in equilibrium this way forever.
"There's no rush for any decision to play a ton of these or not play any of these," he said at the Outback Series. "I'll just kind of see how it goes each month and see how I feel. I still enjoy hitting the tennis ball. It's just hard to say how much more I want to play. Whether I'll be doing this for five years, I don't know."
Why do we like senior tours, old-timer's days and encores by former greats? It's about more than just seeing them strike the ball with a ghost of their past authority. We got used to watching them in person. We're accustomed to being able to judge for ourselves how they're doing. If we liked them, it's as simple as this: We want to know that they're OK.
The planet is teeming with "legends" who could pull off anything on the playing field, but can't quite figure out how to manage the rest of their lives. Sampras may have had the most perfect final match of any tennis player in history. Now comes the tricky part -- having a retirement worthy of his career. For Sampras, we'd have to say so far so good.

Leap Reports Nearly 30 Percent Year-Over-Year Improvements in Second Quarter Adjusted OIBDA and Service Revenues

Press Release: Leap Reports Nearly 30 Percent Year-Over-Year Improvements in Second Quarter Adjusted OIBDA and Service Revenues
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leap Wireless International, Inc. (NASDAQ: LEAP), a leading provider of innovative and value-driven wireless communications services, today reported financial and operational results for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Service revenues for the second quarter increased 30 percent over the prior year quarter to $541.6 million. The Company reported adjusted operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) of $137.8 million for the second quarter of 2009, an increase of approximately $31.1 million, or 29 percent, over the prior year period. Adjusted OIBDA for the Company's existing business was $191.5 million, an increase of approximately $37 million, or 24 percent, over the prior year period. Operating income for the second quarter of 2009 was $26.3 million, compared to operating income of $14.5 million for the second quarter of 2008, an increase of $11.8 million, or approximately 81 percent.
The Company reported approximately 203,000 net customer additions, an increase of 19 percent from the second quarter of 2008. Second quarter customer additions included approximately 184,000 net voice additions in the Company's expansion markets (those markets that launched service after December 31, 2007); a net loss of approximately 25,000 voice customers in the Company's existing markets (those markets in operation prior to December 31, 2007); and approximately 44,000 net broadband additions. Churn for the quarter was 4.4 percent.
"The Company delivered solid financial performance in the second quarter and for the first half of the year. We believe this solid performance reflects our ability to execute on our long-term strategy. The rapid transformations taking place within the wireless industry have not changed our positive long-term view, but will have an impact on our performance for the balance of 2009, and the outlook for the Company has been revised appropriately. Our superior products, state-of-the-art 3G network, broad and diverse distribution channels and value leadership supported by our industry-leading cost structure provide us with a long-term competitive advantage to attract and retain customers in the wireless marketplace," said Doug Hutcheson, Leap\'s president and chief executive officer.
"The Company is pleased with the progress we are making to strengthen and expand our business position," continued Hutcheson. "The Company launched the Baltimore-Washington, D.C. market in late June, successfully completing the build-out of markets covering approximately 36 million covered POPs in the first phase of our AWS expansion. We have continued to develop our Cricket Broadband service, and an increasing number of customers are subscribing to the service. In addition, the Company has recently announced enhanced service plans, added features and expanded coverage plans, and we expect to selectively expand into new and existing national retail channels prior to the holiday buying season. We believe that all of these actions will strengthen the Company's position in today's increasingly competitive environment."

Information relating to population and potential customers (POPs) is based on population estimates provided by Claritas Inc. for the relevant year.
(2) The term "existing markets" in this release refers to the Company's markets in service on December 31, 2007, and the term "expansion markets" refers to the Company's markets which launched service after December 31, 2007. The term "existing business" refers to the Company's business operations in existing markets, excluding any effects of the Company's Cricket Broadband service.
(3) The Company recognizes a gross customer addition for each Cricket Wireless, Cricket Broadband and Cricket PAYGo™ line of service activated by a customer.
(4) Results for net customer additions and churn for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 exclude customers acquired from Hargray Communications Group in markets in South Carolina and Georgia in April 2008.
Discussion of Financial and Operational Results for the Quarter
Other Key Operational Highlights
"We believe that the second quarter results reflect the fundamental strength of our business and underlying cost structure," said Walter Berger, Leap's executive vice president and chief financial officer. "The benefits of our growing scale are evident in the 29 percent year-over-year increase in adjusted OIBDA and 44 percent adjusted OIBDA margins delivered by our existing business. As we look ahead, we have updated our business outlook to reflect the investments we intend to make to meet challenges to our business. In support of these actions, we also expect to launch additional productivity and process improvement initiatives beginning in the second half of 2009 that we believe will help capture incremental opportunities and cost efficiencies we have identified and accelerate the benefits of scale we are experiencing as our business grows. We believe that our strong balance sheet, growing cash flows and disciplined focus on cost management strongly position us to meet the challenges facing our business and put us at the forefront in an industry where a low cost structure and strong liquidity are significant competitive advantages."
Updated Business Outlook
The Company has updated its business outlook for fiscal years 2009 and 2010 to reflect its current expectations for customer growth and financial results as a result of recently emerging challenges in the competitive environment, actions the Company is taking to increase the number of customers using its Cricket services, and the evolving challenges our customers face in the economic environment.

Ben Pasley and Karla Adolphe are carrying on the Enter The Worship Circle tradition of writing heartfelt, honest worship from the Psalms, and have revolutionized the sound with heavy pop grooves, 808 bass lines, and electric atmospheres. This album paints a bold picture of the line between the eternal things we can share with God, and the natural things that so easily consume us. The call is to set our minds on things above (Colossians 3:2):
Everything that I can see, Can't be all there is for me
I'd trade everything to be, With love that lasts forever
You're standing on the sun, You died for everyone
Giving new eyes for heaven
You're standing on the sun, With love for everyone
Giving new eyes for heaven
Just on the other side
For those who have the eyes
The Kingdom goes on and on and on
Song: Standing on the Sun, Writers: Ben Pasley and Karla Adolphe
The heart of the Psalmist has always been to take a deep look at himself and the earth around and deal with it honestly. The only way to really see thing clearly is to discover God in the middle of it, to get a revelation on his character and nature. This song actually grows from an encounter with Christ found in Revelation:
And his eyes were like flames of fire. His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice thundered like mighty ocean waves. He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp two-edged sword came from his mouth. And his face was like the sun in all its brilliance.
(Tyndale House Publishers. (2013). Holy Bible: New Living Translation (Re 1:14b–16).)
This vision of God who is overwhelming and powerful fills the whole album, but the songs begin with a clear view of the real world. Do you find it hard to break out of the present things, the busy-ness and noise of the everyday? If so, this album is for you. Buy it, and let your mind run high into the heavens where God is ready to meet you with help for today and an eternal promise of purpose in him!
All songs written, produced, and performed by Ben Pasley and Karla Adolphe. Recorded by Ben Canon at Loud Mountain Studios in Woodland Park, CO. Initial mixes and arrangements by Ben Pasley. Final mix and mastering by Josh Seawell at Seawell Studios in Browns Summit, NC. Lead vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, keyboards and piano by Ben Pasley and Karla Adolphe. Lead programming by David Lee, additional programming by Ben Pasley, and Tyler Cucchiara. Additional guitars on Standing on the Sun by Matt Pacco. Special thanks to Aaron Strumpel and Robin Pasley for production assistance, and for background vocal trio joined by Libbie Anderson.

Normalised earnings, for the period ending 30 June 2013, increased from 4.1 billion rand in 2012 to 5 billion rand in 2013 and net income increased by 10 per cent from 4.6 billion rand to 5.1 billion rand.
"For the year ended 30 June 2013 the macroeconomic environment remained challenging with global growth as a whole remaining below the long-term trend. RMBH continued to build on the strong base of the previous year and produced excellent results for the year ended 30 June 2013," Rand Merchant Bank (RMB) said in a statement.
Profit before tax increased from 4.5 billion rand in 2012 to 4.9 billion rand in 2013 and income from operations showed a 10 per cent increase from 4.6 billion rand to 5 billion rand.
Total dividend per share increased by 36 per cent from 125.5 cents in 2012 to 170.5 cents in 2013.
"This outcome was driven by excellent results from FirstRand which continued to benefit from good operational performances in all franchises," the corporate and investment bank had said.
The FirstRand group, which consists of [DATA RMH:RMB], First National Bank (FNB), WesBank and Ashburton Investments, announced a number of executive position amendments on Wednesday.
Johan Burger, FirstRand's current financial director and group chief operating officer has been appointed as group deputy CEO, effective 1 October 2013. He will however retain the group financial director role until 31 December 2013.
As a result of this, Harry Kellan, current CFO at FNB will take over as FirstRand Bank CFO. Jaco van Wyk has been appointed as group head of finance.
In addition to his role as FirstRand Bank CFO, Kellan will be appointed as group financial director from 1 January 2014.
Chris de Kock, currently the general manager of sales and marketing at WesBank, has been appointed WesBank CEO, also effective from 1 January 2014.
Alan Hedding, the CFO of FirstRand Bank and group head of finance, and Brian Riley, the CEO of WesBank, are set to retire, effective 30 September 2013 and 31 December 2013 respectively.
"Given our owner manager culture, and the level of empowerment that our management teams enjoy, moving people into senior roles is quite straightforward and seamless. We have seen a great deal of change in our management teams – at both a group and franchise level – over the past 10 years. Thanks to the depth and quality of our people, these transitions have been smooth and have ensured continuity and momentum in our operations," said FirstRand CEO Sizwe Nxasana.
"By way of example, Chris de Kock has been at WesBank for 26 years in a number of executive roles. He has a deep understanding of the business and is one of the architects of the current strategy. We wish Brian Riley the very best in his retirement, he has overseen an incredibly successful period of growth at WesBank," he added.
Going forward, both RMB and FirstRand expect further investment in growth opportunities and sustained revenue flow.
"The group expects to continue good organic growth despite the difficult macroeconomic environment. FNB's focus on customer acquisition and drive for transactional volumes across all platforms should contribute positively to non-interest income growth, as will RMB's client activities locally and in the rest of Africa."

|February 2016
|Poverty Reduction and Labor
Over the last two decades Mexico has had an open trade regime, experienced macroeconomic stability, and made substantial progress in education. However, average workers' earnings have stagnated and earnings for workers with more schooling have declined, compressing the earnings distribution and lowering the returns to education. We hypothesize that these developments are explained by large and persistent of distortions that misallocate resources towards less productive firms, since these firms are substantially less intensive in educated workers than more productive ones. We show that at the same time that the relative supply of workers with more years of schooling has increased, misallocation of resources toward less productive firms has persisted. These two trends have generated a widening mismatch between the supply and demand for educated workers. We decompose worker earnings into observable and unobservable firm and individual worker characteristics, and simulate a counterfactual earnings distribution in the absence of misallocation. Under the counterfactual, earnings differentials across schooling levels would increase, as would the returns to education. In parallel, earnings differentials, rather than narrowing overtime, would widen. We conclude arguing that the persistence of distortions that misallocate resources toward lower-productivity firms impedes Mexico from taking full advantage of its investments in the human capital of its workers.

I have to admit that one of the most interesting phenomenons that I encounter on the phone has to be when a parent tells me that they're doing exactly what James Lehman says, but they're not getting any results…Then they'll proceed to share what they've been trying. Pretty quickly, it becomes evident that there are some discrepancies happening in there somewhere.
I can so relate to this. Pretty much with anything we try there are times when what we think we're doing is very different than what we're actually doing.
I want to jump in right here and state emphatically how difficult it can be to learn new things. I often like to remind parents that learning is not going to be a perfect process. It's not about being a bad learner or lazy, but more about how to overcome the obstacles that get in the way of learning.
Here are some basic but fundamental strategies to keep in mind while learning Total Transformation skills.
- For all you parents out there who are trying to multi-task while listening to this program—you know who you are—try to block off a reasonable amount of time when you are able to devote specifically to the program. I am a ward of the Total Transformation program, so I don't wish to shame you parents into finding time just for the program, but if I get calls on the phone and I can hear you driving, doing dishes, or at work, then I know what you're up to when you aren't calling in. Your brain works to full capacity if it's focusing on one task a time.
- In line with that idea, it's so important to pick a priority and start working on one behavior at a time. It's much easier for you as the parent to put the skills into practice when you have that one objective to focus on. If you are juggling several behaviors, you eventually will drop the ball, and that will leave you feeling overwhelmed, confused, and worst of all — like a failure. You have to continue to put the skills into practice to maintain them; basically you lose it if you don't use it. Again, having that one objective will allow you to concentrate on practicing a specific set of tools, and that makes it easier to be consistent; hence, more practice will encourage those parenting skills to get stronger and more familiar.
- Try to figure out how you learn best. Some people ask me on the line if it's ok to write notes. YES!!!!!! Alright, I admit that for some of us, it can feel sort of embarrassing, but just because you're a grown-up doesn't mean you should be beyond taking notes, especially if it helps this stuff to stick! Some people actually like to role play a little with me on the phone or come up with their "scripts" for the next time their child acts out. I think this is a great way to have a test run so you're more comfortable saying the words when the time comes, sort of like rehearsing your lines before a performance.
- Be open: I know a lot of you parents have consumed vast amounts of information and doubt that this program will give you any new insight. I'm here to tell you that if you are patient and keep at it, it will — but it's essential to be involved and listen closely.
- Lastly, even though you should focus on one behavior at a time, try to avoid focusing on one bit of information from the program. Remember that it all fits together, and if your so stuck on one phrase or technique it will be difficult to fit that piece of information into what you already know and what you've yet to find out.
I hope this is helpful to all you parents out there who are trying to change your child's behaviors and "get to bed tonight without a crisis," as James says. Remember, take it one day at a time and give yourself a break. Learning happens over time, and with each new tool you gain as a parent, you become more effective.
