TRIZ in Six Sigma at DoD
I'm in the beautiful suburban environment (all the trees are in flower!) of Washington DC this week for the 2010 DoD Performance Symposium, which is the USA's Department of Defense Six Sigma meeting. People from all services present their projects(for feedback, for sharing, and for bragging), attend workshops, and get the opportunity for in-person networking. iSixSigma Live, a division of CTQ Media which also owns TRIZ Journal and Real Innovation is the organizer. For the full program see http://live.isixsigma.com/dod2010
Leadoff speaker was Mr. J.D. Sicilia, director of DoD's Lean Six Sigma Program Office. He used a lot of humor (some military, some just human) to set the theme of performance excellence - " not just one time, but for sustained benefit to the military and to the taxpayers. He called attention to more than 40 storyboards that documented success in projects in all areas of process improvement - " the organizers considered skipping this element because formatting the presentations takes a lot of time, but the participants wanted it, so they used a very TRIZ-ish "local quality" solution -" the presentations are in any format that works.
Eric Fanning, Undersecretary of the Navy, gave the keynote address, and surprised the audience by saying that he had changed the talk he planned to give, because of Secretary Gates' speech last week about the importance of efficiency to achieve the same mission with $28billion less cost. This is THE opportunity, THE "game changer" for continuous process improvement/Lean SixSigma. Fanning said that this could make it easier to report savings, and will be a challenge to distinguish between cost avoidance and cost savings. His distinction between the "tail" and the "tooth" of the organization applies to non-military organizations as well; the goal is to save a lot on the "tail" (support) processes and move those savings to the "tooth" (mission).
General C. Robert Kehler, Commander of the Air Force Space Command, gave the second re-structured presentation, focusing on how to apply the techniques of Lean Six Sigma to make operations efficient and effective, regardless of the technologies involved. He had a very strong focus on the functions of the users of the systems that his group (46,000 people world-wide) provides. He made the point very dramatically that "we have been on this road before" recalling both the successes of Total Quality Management, and the failure (which was proliferation of a TQM bureaucracy and emphasis on procedures rather than results.) "It was doomed because of how we went about it." His claim to being a "card carrying skeptic" was greeted with good humor by the audience, and his openness to try again, with awareness of all the lessons learned from earlier efforts, was very positively received.
General Kehler's story of work in progress emphasized the cultural and business change from spot inspection by outsiders to rigorous, continuous self-inspection and improvement. The objective is making sure that leaders have clear view of the capability, rather than the enthusiasm, of their people and their systems. He handled the delicate question of inspection (bad in Six Sigma, good in military history) quite nicely, challenging the audience to find the careful balance of people and achieving process excellence in difficult situations.
120 of the 450 attendees participated in my TRIZ workshop after lunch. Thanks to those who pointed out that TRIZ is now in the official DoD "Lean Six Sigma body of knowledge" document!
The entire group reconvened to hear from Elizabeth McGrath, DoD Assistant Deputy Chief Management Officer. She did an eloquent job of explaining the new orientation of DoD improvement as well as the elements that are frankly re-used from earlier initiatives. She used her 22 years' government experience as a basis for lessons learned from past experience as well as explaining plans for change in 10 significant areas ranging from energy use to acquisition processes. McGrath concluded with an announcement that www.defense.gov will feature requests for innovative solutions to the problem of taking cost out of DoD business operations.
David Tillotson III, Deputy Chief Management Officer of the Office of the Undersecretary of the Air Force spoke on "Shaping the Air Force Future through Business Transformation." For a TRIZ perspective, he focused on the contradictions in the present environment ��" a traffic jam due to construction is bad, but people having jobs is good. He showed the alignment of the Air Force's strategies with the overall DoD strategies of the previous speaker. Priorities are now assigned to projects that have measurable ROI, that are desired by the commands, and (surprisingly) where anticipated resistance to change is low. The results of benchmarking commercial organizations were another set of surprises which resulted in an initiative called "Clean Audit" that Tillotson pointed out is no fun at all, but absolutely necessary as a precursor to realigning spending (in TRIZ terms, he really emphasized ideality -" more benefit at less cost with less harm/waste.) He concluded with a strong message, backed up by numerous cases: Mission effectiveness is dependent on business efficiency.
"American Freedom Festival" was a unique video presentation by Jack L. Tilley, the retired Sergeant Major of the Army. The American Freedom Foundation helps military members and their families. The Festival is a series of concerts that raise money and raise awareness of the need and the campaign.
Chairman J. D. Sicilia returned to the podium to present awards to the winners of the DoD Performance Bowl which was a Six Sigma contest held yesterday. The Air Force "Team GD" were the winners.
A wine tasting featuring the Six Sigma winery followed, with plenty of opportunity for networking and learning.

The media is having its usual field day with Mitt Romney's wife Ann Romney's recent statement that she doesn't consider herself to be wealthy. In an interview Monday on Fox News, the GOP front-runner's wife was asked about criticism that her husband is out-of-touch with average Americans because he is worth $250 million.
She replied, "I don't even consider myself wealthy, which is an interesting thing." From Wash Po to The Daily Caller, Ann Romney's statement is making the media rounds, highlighted by liberal bloggers as even further evidence that Mitt Romney is a wealthy 1% who does not represent middle class Americans.
What this bevy of headlines leaves out is the second part of Ann Romney's quote. Consider her remarks in full context and she sounds quite a bit different:
"I don't even consider myself wealthy, which is an interesting thing. It can be here today and gone tomorrow," she said, "and how I measure riches is by the friends I have and the loved ones I have and the people I care about in my life and that is where my values are and those are my riches so for me having done through a difficult period in my life both with MS and with breast cancer it has done something to my heart and it has softened my heart and made me realize there are many people suffering in this country and they are suffering from things that aren't financial -- and some people are suffering from things that are financial, as well -- but those that are suffering, for me, I just have a larger capacity for love and for understanding."
So is Ann Romney a compassionate-less 1%, or is this yet another case of the media parsing public figures' words to capture clicks?
Mitt Romney has had more than his fair share of rhetoric blunders when discussing his wealth (see Akil Alleyne's great summary here), but this is not one of those cases. To the contrary, Ann Romney makes a heartful and genuine money-can't-but-health-and-happiness point, a message that we could all learn from.
What annoys me about the coverage of Mitt Romney this election cycle is the media's tendency to attack Romney for being wealthy. In an effort to grab headlines, the media highlights stories that prove Mitt Romney is wealthy (like the recent dustup after Romney said he has "friends who own NASCAR teams"), as if being rich is a fatal flaw, or worse should be demonized. These kind of ad hominem attacks are simplistic and don't get at the real question that the media should be asking: Do Mitt Romney's policies work to protect only the 1%, or will they stimulate growth for the middle class and reverse income inequality?
That's an entirely different debate, one that we should be having.
News flash: President Obama is no pauper. So, let's stop treating Romney's wealth as an automatic disqualifier for him being a strong candidate for president.

HARRIS COUNTY – Detectives conducted a search overnight of the northwest Harris County home belonging to a woman reported missing since just before Halloween.
According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, the search was conducted at the home of Wende Marshall, 44, in the 11200 block of Fleur Drive.
Marshall has been reported missing since Oct. 30. Neighbors said she has a boyfriend who has been interviewed by HCSO detectives.
"Homicide investigators have been at this house processing this residence for evidence and anything we can gather on a missing persons case," said Deputy Thomas Gililand of the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
Some neighbors claim they were told that detectives believe Marshall's body had been burned in the fireplace and buried.
"We had excavators last night looking for the remains. We had the medical examiner last night. So they found her," Rosemary Wallace, a neighbor, said.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office will not confirm anything close to that.
There is evidence of recent digging in the yard, but there is no way to tell who did that digging.
"I cannot tell you that a murder occurred in this home? No. As of now she is still considered a missing person," Gililand said.
Depending on who you talk to there is different evidence.
A neighbor, who did not want to be identified, described the thick black smoke she saw on Halloween.
"It was a sweet odor. You know that wood they treat for the chimeneas. That is what we have been smelling for a couple days," the neighbor said.
"I did get home one day and I thought that it was like a dead animal," Kylie Sutherland, who shares the cul-de-sac, said.
Tricia McKie lives next door and said she's never seen anything strange.
"I did see smoke but nothing that I would attribute to out of the ordinary," McKie said.
Joseph Sutton lives behind Marshall's house.
"I didn't smell anything different like that at all," Sutton said.
Now the house again is quiet and it is still a mystery.
Anyone with information should call the Sheriff's Office or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

HODGENVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A LaRue County pilot is fighting for his life after his personal plane carrying his family crashed.
It happened in Hodgenville around 3:30 p.m. Monday. The family had a flight plan and were on their way to Ohio and eventually West Virginia, but shortly after takeoff something went wrong.
Moments before a small prop plane took to the sky in LaRue County, Huel Vincent watched.
"I waved at that little boy and he waved right back at me," said Vincent.
The pilot, 31-year old Joshua Marksbury, his wife Jamie, and their 4-year-old boy Jacob were airborne and almost instantly Vincent knew something wasn't right.
"I seen the wing went like that and I ran down that hill as fast as I could come," said Vincent.
Kentucky State Police say right after take off the plane's wing hit the top of a tree, then hit a telephone wire, spun around, and crashed right along the side of the road.
"It does appear he did attempt to make some sort of maneuver once he was on the landing strip," said Norman Chaffins with Kentucky State Police. "I'm not sure what that maneuver was, but there was some marks on the landing strip where he actually came down once he took off and that's when lost altitude as he clipped the tree."
The landing happened just feet from Regina McDowell in her SUV along U.S. 31-E.
"That's a plane down," said McDowell. "A plane just crashed in front of me, what to we do."
McDowell said when she got to the wreckage she realized everybody was breathing, but could tell the injuries were serious, especially Joshua's.
"I had to get my knife and cut the seatbelt off so we could pick him up and take him out," said Vincent.
All three were airlifted to Louisville hospitals. Police say the family lived in Buffalo, Kentucky. Friends say Joshua was an experienced commercial pilot and worked for Honaker Aviation.
"They are a local family that pretty much everybody knows and a good family and we'll be praying for them," said McDowell, while always remembering that sight that she never wanted to see. "I'll have that picture in my head for awhile."
Joshua Marksbury is in critical condition with life threatening injuries. Police say he does have severe head injuries. Jamie and Jacob were both seriously hurt, they are in stable condition, and expected to be ok.

Toughing It Out Leads to Emmy Nods
Nominated 'Grey's' Co-Stars Turn Up the Mean
Looking at the list of character traits the Emmy nominees for supporting actress in a drama have been assigned on ABC's hit show "Grey's Anatomy," it's like a contest for Queen of Mean.
Chandra Wilson plays Dr. Miranda Bailey, softening a little but still mired in bitterness after losing out on her dream job as chief resident at Seattle Grace Hospital. The woman known as "the Nazi" tells new interns not to bother sucking up.
Fellow cast member and nominee Sandra Oh plays the commitment-phobic Cristina Yang, who continues to patch up her self-esteem, frequently sacrificing the self-esteem of others in the process.
"She makes the character vulnerable and believable," said Executive Producer Betsy Beers—no small feat, since Ms. Oh's character is so impatient she numbers the new interns rather than learning their names. "She knows they'll be moving on," Ms. Beers said. "In her mind, they haven't earned the right to names yet."
Both actresses "bring a full commitment and intensity to their craft," she said, "but also to their characters. They got into the skins and understood who these people were.
"There was never a moment they didn't understand who they were playing, and they helped form the characters' reality as much as we did."
As Dr. Bailey, Ms. Wilson, who won rave reviews in Tony Kushner's "Caroline, or Change" on Broadway, is like "a vacation in a storm," Ms. Beers said. The actress "has a natural authority, and a peace with her authority, that she brings to the character in an effortless way."
Ms. Beers, who developed the show along with writer and Executive Producer Shonda Rhimes for the Mark Gordon Co., said the ethnic makeup of the show, which has been widely acclaimed if not widely emulated, is simply a reflection of the world at large.
"We believe in a multiethnic America and a multiethnic world," she said. "So on 'Grey's Anatomy' there will be a multiethnic mix. We want to see every ethnicity for every part."
ABC "got what we were doing right away," Ms. Beers said, and stood behind the producers for the racial makeup of the show.
Other nominees in the supporting actress in a drama category are five-time Emmy winner Candice Bergen as Shirley Schmidt, founding partner of the law firm Crane Poole & Schmidt, for "Boston Legal," a David E. Kelley production in association with 20th Century Fox Television; Australian actress and four-time Emmy nominee Rachel Griffiths as Sarah Walker, a working mom just trying to keep it together, in "Brothers & Sisters," produced by ABC Studios; and two-time Oscar winner Dianne Wiest as Dr. Gina Toll on "In Treatment," HBO's psychiatric showcase that reveals the workings of a different therapy session each night, produced by Sheleg, Closest to the Hole Productions and Leverage in association with HBO Entertainment.
Last year's winner was Katherine Heigl, also of "Grey's Anatomy," who withdrew her name from competition this year.

Despite aerial spraying, Norton has tested positive for mosquitoes carrying West Nile Virus.
Leon Dumont of the Norton Board of Health has confirmed that two mosquito pools tested positive for the virus in the northeast corner of Norton near the Easton town line. They were the types of mosquitoes that bite birds.
While the first round of spraying killed off approximately 60 percent of mosquitoes in the area, nearby towns such as Easton still found mosquitoes carrying Eastern Equine Encephalitis. At this time local health officials haven't received the results on how successful the second spraying was. They should have results by Monday.
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health announced the first human case of West Nile virus (WNV) in the state this year.
The patient is a resident of Middlesex County north of Boston in his 60s who was diagnosed with WNV in late July and remains hospitalized, but is recovering. Officials have also confirmed the first case of the virus in a horse in Ludlow.
The Department of Public Health reccommends doing everything possible to .
"At this time we are still recommending a dusk to dawn curtailment of activities," Dumont said.

I have not been exactly kind to my BlackBerry holsters. Over the short few years I've owned a BlackBerry, I've owned many; I even reviewed an excellent case and holster combo here on CrackBerry. And yet through one way or another, I've destroyed them all. "Normal Wear and Tear" has never met the likes of me. I've slammed holsters in car doors, rammed them into counter tops, dropped them from great height, and in general, abused the heck out of them. All of them protected my phone quite well, but no holster can withstand forever the barrage of abuse I can throw at it.
Not wanting to buy yet another holster, I began looking for other options. Then I found the Smartphone Experts Pocket Pouch for BlackBerry Torch 9800. It's a hard leather case designed to protect your 'Berry from the dangers of life in a pocket or purse. Carrying my smartphone in my pocket means I'm not going to slam it into door or get my phone caught uncomfortably in a car's seat belt. Protected inside its case, I don't have to worry about keys, change, and whatever else is in my pockets destroying my Torch's screen.
The inside of the case is lined with felt to gently cushion your BlackBerry inside the case. Though the case holds very tightly to the phone, the felt helps it to slip out with just a little deliberate effort. That effort is helped by a small pull tab that helps bring your phone out of the case. I'll admit it; it took me a few tries to figure out how it worked. Once it I did though, that pull tab makes things a lot easier.
The best feature of any BlackBerry case, the Smartphone Experts Pocket Pouch features that all-important sleeper magnet. Using this magnet, Blackberry smartphones know when they're in a case and will actually change their behavior. Usually, this means the phone will vibrate more, but these settings can be easily customized in the sound profiles.
The Smartphone Experts Pocket Pouch for BlackBerry Torch is a great alternative to holstering your BlackBerry. Its hard leather case and soft felt inner lining give protection to your phone. It's a very stiff case, but that means your BlackBerry isn't going anywhere once it's inside. Finally, the sleeper magnet gives you all the benefits of a side holder without the almost inevitability of slamming it into a door.

I think I'd like to grab a couple... However, I can't find the darned thing in the store! I've searched the exact name, by Smartphone Experts, and gone through each page of the Torch cases. Nothing. The link above takes me to http://ca.crackberry.com/.
chrismage Jul 29, 2011 at 10:02 pm
Same here .. I cant find it either.
baslam Jul 29, 2011 at 10:21 pm
This happens all the time. So far I have had purchases made on Amazon and other websites but could never make it on Crackberry.com because it always go to the main page and I have to search and look for it, which is easier when I just google it and end up finding it on Amazon. Crackberry.com needs to fix this issue or there revenue will just keep going to other vendors.

This French coarse pâté would be fab with cornichons and toast, or serve it as part of this fancy dish.
110ml/4fl oz red wine
250ml/9fl oz beef stock
50g/2oz butter
1 tbsp olive oil
125g/4½oz girolle mushrooms, cleaned and picked
75ml/3fl oz white wine vinegar
½ tsp caster sugar
1 tsp pink peppercorns
500g/1lb 2oz parsnips, peeled and cut into even chunks
2 Cox's apples, peeled and cut into chunks
500ml/18fl oz full fat milk
2 tbsp coriander cress, to serve
110ml/4fl oz red wine
250ml/9fl oz beef stock
50g/2oz butter
1 tbsp olive oil
125g/4½oz girolle mushrooms, cleaned and picked
75ml/3fl oz white wine vinegar
½ tsp caster sugar
1 tsp pink peppercorns
500g/1lb 2oz parsnips, peeled and cut into even chunks
2 Cox's apples, peeled and cut into chunks
500ml/18fl oz full fat milk
2 tbsp coriander cress, to serve
For the duck, weigh the duck legs and place them on a non-reactive tray. Sprinkle them with 15g/½oz of salt per kilo and the thyme. Wrap and place in the fridge overnight.
The next day, heat a heavy saucepan until warm and add the duck legs and duck fat to cover totally.
Bring the fat to a gentle simmer and cook for about 2½ hours, or until very tender. Carefully remove the legs from the fat and place on a roasting tray, draining off and reserving any excess fat.
Remove the skin from the duck legs and set it aside.
Remove the bone and tendons and discard. Place the meat into a bowl and mash with a fork. Gradually add about half of the duck fat. Add the chopped parsley and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Spoon the meat into small loaf tin ramekins and place in the fridge to set.
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
Heat a large frying pan until medium hot, then add the duck breast, skin-side down and cook over a gentle heat for 4-5 minutes, or until the fat has rendered out of the breast. You may need to do the breasts in batches if the pan isn't large enough.
Turn the heat up and crisp for one minute, before turning over and placing in the oven for 6-8 minutes.
Remove from the oven and leave to rest, covered and in a warm place, for five minutes.
For the sauce, heat a saucepan, add the red wine and cook until the volume of liquid has reduced by half, then add the beef stock and return to the boil.
Reduce the quantity of liquid by half again, then whisk in the butter and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Keep warm.
For the pickled mushrooms, heat a frying pan, add the olive oil and mushrooms and lightly fry for 1-2 minutes, or until just tender.
Add the white wine vinegar, sugar, peppercorns and a pinch of salt and cook for one minute.
Remove from the heat and set aside to marinate.
For the parsnip and apple purée, place the parsnips, apples and milk into a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
Cook for 12 minutes, or until just tender. Drain, reserving the milk.
Place the parsnip and apple into a blender with a little of the milk and blend to a fine purée. Add enough milk to make a thick purée. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
To serve, cut the rillettes into slices and place on one side of each plate. Spoon some purée onto the other side of the plate. Carve the duck breast into slices and place on top of the purée. Spoon the girolles and sauce around the edge and finish with a scattering of coriander cress.
Type the ingredients you want to use, then click Go. For better results you can use quotation marks around phrases (e.g. "chicken breast"). Alternatively you can search by chef, programme, cuisine, diet, or dish (e.g. Lasagne).

By Jeff Mullin, Senior Writer
Enid News and Eagle
ENID, Okla. —
Student pilots at Vance Air Force Base face a grueling schedule of 12-hour duty days, followed by hours of study at home, interrupted only by meals and periods of sleep.
So once in awhile it is good for them to kick back, relax and think about something other than learning to fly, at least for a while.
That is one of the goals of the class sponsor program, which involves local businesses and individuals volunteering to take a class under their wing.
And despite the fact a new class begins training every three weeks at Vance, finding sponsors is not that difficult, said program director Mary Feightner.
"Nearly everyone I call, they don't turn me down, hardly," she said. "Because they know that we need this base here. I think it helps them (the students) to think good things about our community."
The sponsors represent a broad cross-section of local businesses, with some individuals involved in the program as well, Feightner said.
When each class begins, Feightner recruits a sponsor and takes them to meet the class. Throughout the more than a year the students will be in pilot training here, the sponsor coordinates activities with the class' senior ranking officer, or SRO.
Sponsors are asked to plan and host at least one activity each quarter for their class, though they are welcome to do as many as they want, and can fit into the students' jam-packed schedules.
These activities can range from hosting a cookout for the class or, as one sponsor chose to do, taking the class to an Oklahoma City Thunder basketball game.
"It's up to them really what they want to do," Feightner said. "It's just according to what they want to spend on it."
The purpose of the program, which has been in effect some three decades, is twofold, Feightner said.
"We just want to get them off base so they can have some free time between their studies," she said. "It gets them out into the community and away from their studies, and kind of clears their mind a little bit. And also, it gives them an opportunity to know more about our city and what we have to offer here."
That includes entertainment options like Gaslight Theatre or Cherokee Strip Regional Heritage Center, or more mundane concerns like the best place to get a car repaired, she said.
"Some of them are a long way from home," she said. "They're from all over the country."
Sponsors receive a pass granting them base access in case they want to hold a class activity inside the gates of Vance, Feightner said.
The feedback she receives from sponsors generally is positive, she said.
"They have a good time with the guys," she said. "They really do."
Feightner, one of only 10 friends of Vance designated as a Partner in the Sky, attends each class graduation banquet.
"I see that every one of them gets through," she said.
Bruce Jackson, president of Jacksons of Enid Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, and George Pankonin, Com-munity College of the Air Force adviser at Vance, are co-sponsors for Joint Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Train-ing Class 13-13.
Pankonin, an Air Force veteran, knows the value of allowing students to blow off a little steam now and again.
"They are under the microscope for 53 weeks with nearly no respite," he said. "It gives them a chance to get off base, get away and leave the books at home and just unwind.
"It gives them that opportunity to refresh themselves and come back and perform at a higher level."
For the sponsors, Pankonin said, it gives them a chance to interact with the young people who are the future of our armed forces.
"You can't help but enjoy watching tomorrow's leaders as they develop at the early stages of their careers," he said. "You meet some nice young citizens of this country, who one day might come back and be a wing commander."
In September, Jackson and Pankonin hosted a pool party for members of 13-13 at Jackson's home.
"It's not all the time that you can get everybody together and hang out," said 13-13 student 2nd Lt. Ryan Schieber. "We had barbecue, the pool, horseshoes."
The evening included a volleyball game between Air Force and Navy students — with the exception of Air Force 2nd Lt. Matt Smokovitz, who was recruited to play on the Navy squad. The losing team had to jump in the pool, which turned out to be the Navy and Smokovitz.
"We all ended up jumping in the pool," Smokovitz said.

JEWELL RIDGE, Va. (AP) - SunCoke Energy Inc. is idling a southwestern Virginia coal mine and laying off 90 workers.
Media outlets report employees at subsidiary Dominion Coal's No. 36 mine in Buchanan County were told of the company's decision Friday.
SunCoke Energy vice president of coal operations James M. Mullins says the mine has been hit by a "significant downturn" in the coal market. He says the layoffs include 51 miners and 39 underground contractors.
Four other Dominion Coal mines remain in operation.
SunCoke Energy is based in Lisle, Ill.

Steve McNally, Contributor
I cover business strategy related to Tech, Content and Advertising.
I spent the holiday weekend with my extended family and that means at least two things: bedeviling local wait staffs with our over-large group and hours spent cleaning and updating siblings' and nephews' Windows machines. Without being dismissive of the virus threat, my expectation is that list won't also soon include Mac cleanups: The Flashback malware is real, is hitting Macs hard, and – with hope – changes the way we act about security, but some perspective is in order:
I spent hours* running Windows Update, removing browser toolbars people swear they didn't install, and doing multiple virus scans. And rebooting — lots and lots of rebooting. I spent less than 20 minutes checking my Macbook Pro and my wife's Air to determine we were unaffected by Flashback. A chunk of that time was spent waiting for instructional pages to load using our hotel's WiFi. Now that we're back home, I'm going to have my 10-year old daughter check out the kids' iMac. I'll report back in the comments.
* – non-contiguous: this was time spent between inappropriately-overheated political discussions, general smack-talking especially re non-present family members, and burger-flipping duties
Plenty has be reported already. This includes detection and cleanup procedures as well as general gleefulness re the live exploit from the non-Mac crowd. The virus — a drive-by that will attempt to infect suceptible machines just by virtue of visiting a site with the malware running on it; no explicit download required! — is fairly particular: If it sees you've got certain antivirus (yes: they exist and are available gratis in at least two cases) or coding tools installed, it self destructs before further attempts to insinuate itself into your system. It's good to be vigilant and / or a coder.
The vulnerability is in Java, but had been patched months ago by Java's stewards (now Oracle). If there's still a Mac-user contingent feeling impervious, this would be a good time to get more vigilant or take up coding. If this is also what it takes to get Apple to up its security game, it's been a relatively painless infection to kick it off – click fraud sucks, but it's preferable to sending your banking credentials to Ukraine or working to infect all your Facebook friends.
Apple's got plenty of folks with ideas re putting its cash to work. Here are some additional ones specifically regarding taking security seriously:
Pursuing all of these would be less than a P&L rounding error while showing how seriously the growing malware threat is being taken in Cupertino. If Apple plans to keep doubling the size of Mac marketshare every few years, the target for script kiddies and serious criminals alike will continue to become more tempting.
Or, instead of wasting your time now, or the computers' time in the future doing PC virus scans – via 'anti-virus' software, simply copy the next line of text …
defaults read /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironment; defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
.. then launch 'Terminal' [in the '/Applications/Utilities/' folder], paste the copied text, and press the " key.
If one sees two lines of text including 'does not exist' – all is fine; and they are as the other 99.9% of Mac users … Virus [actually, Trojan Horse] free.

Review: Chalet Girl
|Phil Traill
|Felicity Jones, Ed Westwick, Tamsin Egerton, Bill Bailey, Bill Nighy
|16 MARCH (UK) Certificate 12A
So the story begins (rather gratingly with two T4 presenters) with Kim (Jones) as a 19-year-old tomboy who used to be a champion skateboarder until her mum died in a car accident. Now she works in a dead-end fast-food joint to support her nice-but-useless father (Bailey). That is until she gets a great holiday job offer to work in a chalet in the Alps. While there, she faces class prejudice from the other posher employees, falls for the rich chalet-owner's spoken-for son, Jonny (Westwick), and regains enough sporting confidence to learn how to snowboard and enter the big tournament that promises a big prize-money pay-off.
The result is a film that is split pretty evenly between being part standard rom-com fare and part sporting underdog story, and both halves are played out using such a predictable formula it's as though director Phil Traill (nominated for the Worst Director Razzie for All About Steve) was following two 'How To' guides simultaneously. Plus, a rom-com mixed with sports? You can imagine the number of montages (I lost count).
But, somehow, the film's terrible story-by-numbers means that the overall plot (for which we all obviously know the ending) automatically takes a back seat and allows everyone on screen some space to just be affable and funny. Felicity Jones holds the film together as the young leading lady Kim and, as far as dynamic, independent teen girls go, she's among the spunkiest, with Jones showing off great comic-timing as well as enough acting flair to carry the weightier moments - as displayed in one surprisingly heartbreaking scene in which Kim finally opens up about her mum's death.
Playing her hunky love interest is the teen-audience-baiting Ed Westwick, star of the I-only-watch-it-because-my-girlfriend-is-obsessed-with-it US teen drama Gossip Girl. Westwick isn't given much to work with other than to look handsome and occasionally engage enigmatically with Kim, but his undeniable charisma makes a thankless role more memorable than it deserves to be.
Bringing up the rear, however, and showing how a good supporting cast can save a movie from utter banality, are the wonderful Tamsin Egerton as Kim's stuck-up slutty roommate, the dependable Bill Bailey, as Kim's supportive but incompetent dad who slowly learns to take care of himself and, unsurprisingly stealing every scene, the magnetic Bill Nighy who, as Jonny's super-rich dad, teases and lends support in equal measure. In fact, come the film's frenzied climax (will she win the tournament? Will she get the guy? Will she be accepted by her peers?), it's hard not to say that Bill Nighy saves the day all by himself just by being so…cool.
By the time the credits roll, following an hour and a half of impressive snow skills and some quite stunning scenic shots, all the actors are shown singing along to a final soundtrack song at various stages of the film's production and it's hard not to instantly forgive all the script's occasional faults and just be swept up in the feel-good nature of such a charming, easily-likable release. And when those cringeworthy T4 presenters show up again at the end to round the film out, this time it actually seems kinda fun.

I've been doing a lot of thinking and self-evaluating lately, with the new year and all. And looking back on the year, one of the things that has stood out the most is that I'm selfish.
And quite honestly, I don't exactly think that being selfish ŌĆö or maybe self-centered is the better descriptor ŌĆö is necessarily a bad thing.
In fact, as the title of the column suggests, I think you might be self-centered too. (Please, don't take it personally; I think we all are, really! And if we can keep it in check, I don't even think it's necessarily a bad thing.)

By now, you probably know how much I look up to and respect one Matthew Berry from ESPN.
Yes, he's a fantasy sports columnist, but Berry could write about daffodil flower bombs, and I'd still read it.
Early fans of Berry will recall when he used to write his TRUM articles.
Berry still pulls them out about once a year, and they are some of my favorite pieces of his.
TRUM stands for "Thoughts, Ramblings, Useless Information and Musings."
This year, I promised myself that I wasn't going to make New Year's resolutions. I promise that I promised that.
Resolutions take resolve, and resolve to carry through a resolution too big or too lofty for me ŌĆö which many of my own resolutions have proven to be ŌĆö hasn't proven to be one of my strengths.
But, here's the thing. Sitting on my dad's recliner as the Steelers' season came to an end much later than we all expected with a missed field goal and a crazy overtime in a game across the country, I couldn't help but reflect. And reflection often leads to resolutions.
Editor's Note: This monthly installment of movie reviews by Spirit and Jefferson County Neighbors' reporters Matt Triponey and Dan Long rates Anchorman: 2: The Legend Continues.
Plot Recap: After getting fired, anchorman Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) reunites his old team ŌĆö Champ Kind (David Koechner), Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd) and Brick Tamland (Steve Carell) ŌĆö and helps found GNN, the first-ever all-news network.

Junior Hemingway was this close to being relevant and a sports hero in the city of Pittsburgh.
Hemingway, who plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, hauled in a crucial 31-yard pass from Chase Daniel to put the Chiefs in San Diego territory with 2:31 left in the game.
After multiple runs by Knile Davis brought the clock to 8 seconds, and the ball at the San Diego 23-yard-line, Ryan Succop had his chance to join Hemingway, too.
Unlike his teammate, Succop was unable to deliver on the kick.
Hot stuff, hard work and helping out
I was outside in the cold the other day when I was looking around and noticed I was standing in the middle of a street in downtown Punxsy with a firefighter's boot in my hand, asking for motorists to stop their vehicles and put money into it.
Rewind to how this all began, and how I became involved with area firefighters.
For those of you who aren't aware, I was given an invitation about seven years ago to help the Punxsutawney Fire Department by being their photographer.
It was a simple route that 99 percent of receivers/tight ends would make.
On a 10-yard out pattern during the crucial stages of the Detroit Lions' overtime loss to the New York Giants, former Pitt standout Dorin Dickerson had the ball hit right off his hands, resulting in a costly drop.
If you ask him about it, chances are he'll say he would catch that ball 99 times out of 100.
But, he might also say he had no recollection of the drop.
After the loss, Dickerson admitted to reporters that he hid concussion symptoms from the team doctors so that he could keep playing in the game.
Last year, some readers may recall, I did a condensed version of 30 Days of Thankfulness by listing 30 things that I was thankful for, all in one neat, packaged, organized column. I had all intentions of doing the same this year.
Here's the problem, though: Thanksgiving is better than two weeks in my past, and I'm still struggling to get into the "thankful" mood.
Please, don't get me wrong, there's plenty to be thankful for (including a rapidly approaching visit from family that'll bring four of my favorite people into the area for Christmas).
At 7:26 on Tuesday morning, I became a member of a club I've imagined joining since I was 14 ŌĆö The Buck Down Club.
Well, 7:26 a.m. is the time that it became official, when I knew for sure that I had knocked down my first buck as a hunter ŌĆö at age 31 ŌĆö and managed to stop shaking long enough to text my dad: "Buck down!"
When I walked up to my prize, he wasn't the monstrous 8-point or the wide 10-point that we'd been seeing signs of and hearing stories of around the farm, but he was the perfect buck for me ŌĆö for a lot of reasons.
Editor's Note: This monthly installment of movie reviews by Spirit and Jefferson County Neighbors' reporters Matt Triponey and Dan Long rates the the second film based on the popular "Hunger Games" books by Suzanne Collins.
Plot Recap: Having survived the trials of the arena in the first film,
Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) now find themselves the unintentional figureheads of a budding resistance against their oppressive government.

When children tune in to Fox on Oct. 3, the Saturday morning that the animated series "X-Men" had been set to premiere, they will be greeted by . . . a new PBS series.
The idea, according to both Fox and PBS, is to promote the show--which is called "Ghostwriter" and uses a mystery format to promote literacy--to children who might otherwise not watch PBS.

Brain Cancer Info
At some point in your life, if not already, you will probably know someone with brain cancer. Each year approximately 200,000 people in the United States will be diagnosed with a primary or metastatic brain tumor. The overall incidence rate of all primary brain tumors or central nervous system tumors is 16.5 per 100,000 people.
More than 120 types of brain tumors exist, making effective treatment complicated. Only 31 percent of males and 30 percent of females survive five years following diagnosis.
Learn more about brain cancer, the treatment and the ongoing research by visiting the Brain Tumor Trials Collaborative (BTTC), the primary beneficiary of the Head for the Cure Foundation.
Improve the Outlook
Enhancing the quality of life for people with brain tumors requires access to quality specialty care, clinical trials, follow-up care and rehabilitative services.
Improving the outlook for adults and children with brain tumors requires research of the causes and better treatment. The BTTC is making a difference, but you also can help. Please consider making a donation to the Head for the Cure Foundation.

Edward "Ted" Kennedy, age 77, U.S. Senator
George Gershwin, age 36, Composer
Dick Howser, age 50, Kansas City Royals Manager

First time with the hottie from your bio lab wasn't all you thought it would be? Maybe you've been hooking up with the same guy for weeks, months, or even years, and suddenly, it just doesn't feel right. Maybe you went at it a little too hard and you're just a little sore, but there are a variety of infections and conditions that could be causing your pain—and you need to know how to safely handle 'em. Whatever the issue, sex shouldn't be a source of pain in your life. Her Campus has you covered to explain some of the basics behind something that should be a source of pleasure, not a problem!
Do I really need to be concerned?
According to Deborah Coady, doctor, author, and partial-owner of the women's health care center SoHo OB/GYN, minor itching or irritation after sex that lasts less than one day probably isn't a huge deal. Anything aside from that though should be cause for concern, she says.
"If pain occurs with each touch or penetration, continues as sex continues, occurs repeatedly after sex, this is not normal. And if pain with sex is burning, sharp, tearing, achey, radiating to the deeper pelvis, involves clitoral pain, bladder tenderness, or anal pain, has associated bleeding or burning secretions with it—none of this is ok, and should be checked by a medical professional," she explains.
If it feels itchy…
An irritating itch that persists for several days after sex usually isn't a good sign. Luckily for us collegiettes though, there are simple solutions for problems like vaginal infections, irritations, or dryness, all of which are complications that can arise after sex, and can be properly diagnosed and treated by your gyno. Typically, certain prescription medicines or creams will do the trick, while other times the solution is simply to avoid different scented products that may be aggravating the area. In addition to scented products, sometimes your allergy meds or other regular prescriptions can affect hormone levels in your body can cause this dryness or irritation. A gynecologist or other health care professional can help you pinpoint the culprit.
If visiting the ladies' room hurts, or if trips are becoming more and more frequent…
Dr. Coady also explains that a condition known as painful bladder syndrome could cause sex to be painful. Find yourself running to the bathroom multiple times during a lecture or feeling pained when you need to pee, in addition to pain during sex? It could be PBS, especially if you've recently dealt with an infection in or around your vagina like a yeast infection. Having sex can often aggravate PBS, causing you even more pain. Different combinations of medicine, physical therapy, and changes in your day-to-day life (such as stress-reducing activities, choosing a workout routine that's less intense, or dropping unhealthy habits like smoking or drinking) can all help treat, or at the very least lessen, the symptoms and side effects of PBS.
If it's not PBS, a condition known as interstitial cystitis may be the cause of your pain. IC occurs when tissues of your bladder wall become inflamed and infected similar to how it feels when you get a urinary tract infection. Unfortunately, we ladies are 10 times more likely than men to experience IC according to the U.S. International Library of Medicine. As far as treatment options go, there are a variety of drugs or other medications that work for most people dealing with IC, as well as possible surgeries or therapies for more extreme or more painful cases. Certain foods or drinks such as citrus juices, alcohol, chocolate, onions, tofu, sour cream, and yogurt have been pinpointed as possible triggers of bladder infections and should be avoided as well if you suffer from IC.
Again, you need a gyno or doctor to properly diagnose and treat the above conditions, so if you are experiencing any of the related symptoms, make an appointment with your doctor.

Target projectile weapon touched
Duration 1 round/caster level (D)
Saving throw Will negates (object, harmless); Spell Resistance yes (object, harmless)
Once per round, phantom hands load a single ranged weapon or firearm with conjured ammunition. This ammunition counts as magical for overcoming damage reduction and attacking incorporeal creatures, but is the standard for its type (a normal bullet or pellets and black powder in the case of firearms). Conjured ammunition ceases to exist 1 round after it is removed from the weapon, or at the end of the duration, whichever comes first.
