Genomic Health: Protecting business in the cloud, public and private
Securing healthcare data and applications across a mix of cloud platforms
By Bob Violino
September 04, 2012 — CSO —
About five years ago Genomic Health began to introduce cloud-based business applications. Ken Stineman, senior director of enterprise architecture and security, quickly became aware of the security risks these apps posed.
CSO contributor Bob Violino recently interviewed Stineman on the topic of cloud security.
CSO: Please describe your organizations cloud environment, including the types of cloud services and how the company is using the cloud.
Ken Stineman, Genomic Health: Public and private cloud services have become a strategic part of Genomic Health's information technology strategy. We initially leveraged public cloud providers for commoditized Internet infrastructure services such as spam filtering, domain naming services and worldwide content distribution. Over the past three years we have significantly expanded our cloud bias and use of software as-a-service [SaaS] applications. We now utilize more than 20 SaaS providers for key business applications including payroll and human resources, expense reporting, performance management, project management, learning management, document collaboration, identity management, financial analysis, retirement planning, applicant tracking, and stock options management.

We are in the process of expanding our hybrid cloud and accelerating our use of public and virtual-private Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. These cloud providers will be essential to providing burstable high-performance compute, storage and messaging for our world-wide laboratory business. We are in the process of migrating our on-premise ERP and CRM solutions to a private cloud SaaS provider.
CSO: What assurances have your cloud providers given you that the data is protected?
Stineman: As a healthcare provider and lifescience company, the security and privacy of patient information and intellectual property is critical. We conduct security assessments of our vendors and ensure they have certified processes such as SSAE16 and/or ISO and review their security whitepapers, business continuity and encryption processes. Our contractual commitments must include physical, technical, and administrative safeguards, as well as data breach notification.
We have been extremely cautious and careful in our plans to store health information in the cloud. We require encryption or healthcare business associate agreements with cloud vendors who process or store protected health information. Cloud vendors are just beginning to be positioned and ready to commit to HIPAA, HITECH, and international data protection requirements.
CSO: What concerns do you have about emerging security threats and cloud technology flaws?
Stineman: Coordinated denial of service attacks and cybercrime networks characterized as advanced persistent threats are both concerns for Genomic Health. At the same time, our greatest risk and entry point for malware continues to be social engineering attacks such as spearphishing and Web-based trojans [through which] users inadvertently introduce malware to our networks.

This document defines the requirements and implementation strategy for lexically scoped variables.
For Parrot purposes, "lexical variables" are variables stored in a hash (or hash-like) PMC associated with a subroutine invocation, a.k.a. a call frame.
LexInfo PMCs contain what is known at compile time about lexical variables of a given subroutine: their names (for most languages), perhaps their types, etc. They are the interface through which the PIR compiler stores and validates compile-time information about lexical variables.
At compile time, each newly created Subroutine (or Subroutine derivative, e.g. Closure) that uses lexical variables will be populated with a PMC of HLL-mapped type LexInfo. (Note that this type may actually be Null in some HLLs, e.g. Tcl.)
LexPads hold what becomes known at run time about lexical variables of a given invocation of a given subroutine: their values, of course, and for some languages (e.g. Tcl) their names. They are the interface through which the Parrot runtime stores and fetches lexical variables.
At run time, each call frame for a Sub (or Sub derivative) that uses lexical variables will be populated with a PMC of HLL-mapped type LexPad. Note that call frames for subroutines without lexical variables will omit the LexPad.
From the interface perspective,
LexPads are basically Hashes,
with strings as keys and PMCs as values.
They extend the basic Hash interface with specialized initialization (requiring a reference to an associated LexInfo) and the query METHOD get_lexinfo()
(to return it).
LexPad keys are unique. Therefore, in each subroutine, there can be only one lexical variable with a given name.
In the normal use case, LexPads are not exposed to user code (not for any special reason; it just worked out that way). Instead, specialized opcodes implement the common use cases. Specialized opcodes are particularly a Good Idea here because most lexical usage involves searching more than one LexPad, so a single LexPad reference wouldn't be as useful as one might expect. And, of course, opcodes can cheat ... er, can be written in optimized C. :-)
For HLLs that support nested subroutines, Parrot provides a way to denote that a given subroutine is conceptually "inside" another. Lookup for lexical variables starts at the current call frame and proceeds through call frames of the "outer" subroutines. The specific meaning of "outer" is defined below, but it's designed to support the common linguistic structure of nested subroutines where inner subs refer to lexical variables contained in outer blocks.
Note that "outer" and "caller" are very different concepts! For example, given the Perl 6 code:
sub foo { my $a = 1; my sub a { eval '$a' } return &a; }
The &foo
subroutine is the outer subroutine of &a
, but it is not the caller of &a
In the above example, the definition of the Parrot subroutine implementing &a must include a notation that it is textually enclosed within &foo
. This is normally a static attribute of a Sub, but can be changed dynamically using the set_outer
The value of :outer
identifies a subroutine by its :subid
flag; subroutine definitions that do not have an explicit :subid
flag have the name of the Sub as the :subid
Note that the outer sub must be compiled first; in other words, "foo" must appear before "a" in the source text. Compilers can easily do this via preorder traversal of lexically-nested subs.
The capture_lex
opcode is used to attach the current lexical environment to any subroutines that are lexically nested within the current sub. This is normally done either when the outer sub is entered or just prior to invoking the inner sub.
The newclosure
opcode will clone a subroutine and then perform capture_lex
on the newly cloned sub.
When a subroutine is invoked, its newly created call frame points to the outer sub's context that was established for the sub by the capture_lex
opcode above. When Parrot is asked to access a lexical variable named '$a' (e.g., via the find_lex
opcode), Parrot starts with the current call frame and follows the chain of outer lexical call frames until it finds one containing the requested lexical. If none of the outer lexical environments define such a variable, an exception is thrown.
If an inner subroutine is invoked that hasn't had a capture_lex
operation performed on it, then Parrot will attempt to dynamically perform the lexical capture using the call from its outer sub. If the outer sub doesn't have a call frame, as might occur when jumping directly to the inner sub without previously invoking the outer, then Parrot creates a dummy call frame for the outer sub to be used for its inner lexical sub captures (until the outer sub is invoked, at which point it receives a new call frame).
Note that the dummy call frame created for the outer sub will be attached to its outer call frame, which may require creating dummy call frames for additional outer contexts (until an invoked outer sub is located, or the top-level outer lexical context is reached).
Parrot does not assume that every subroutine needs lexical variables. Therefore, Parrot defaults to not creating LexInfo or LexPad PMCs. It only creates a LexInfo when it first encounters a ".lex" directive in the subroutine. If no such directive is found, Parrot does not create a LexInfo for it at compile time, and therefore cannot create a LexPad for it at run time.
However, an absence of ".lex" directives is normal for some languages (e.g. Tcl) which lack compile-time knowledge of lexicals. For these languages, the additional Subroutine attribute ":lex" should be specified. It forces Parrot to create LexInfo and LexPads.
The implementation of lexical variables in the PIR compiler depends on two new PMCs: LexPad and LexInfo. However, the default Parrot LexPad and LexInfo PMCs will not meet the needs of all languages. They should suit Perl 6, for example, but not Tcl.
Therefore, it is expected that HLLs will map the LexPad and LexInfo types to something more appropriate (e.g. TclLexPad and TclLexInfo). That mapping will automatically occur when the appropriate ".HLL" directive is in force.
Using Tcl as an extreme example: TclLexPad will likely be a thin veneer on PMCHash. Meanwhile, TclLexInfo will likely map to Null: Tcl provides no reliable compile-time information about lexicals; without any compile-time information to store, there's no need for TclLexInfo to do anything interesting.
Below are the standard LexInfo methods that all HLL LexInfo PMCs may support. Each LexInfo PMC should only define the methods that it can usefully implement, so the compiler can use method lookup failure to generate useful diagnostics (e.g. "register aliasing not supported by Tcl lexicals").
Each language's LexInfo will implement methods that are helpful to that language's LexPad. In the extreme case, LexInfo can be Null -- but if it is, the given HLL should not generate any ".lex*" directives.
Called exactly once.
Return the associated Subroutine.
Declare a lexical variable that is an alias for a PMC register. The PIR compiler calls this method in response to a .lex STRING, PREG
directive. For example, given this preamble:
These two opcodes have an identical effect:
And these two opcodes also have an identical effect:
LexPads start by implementing the Hash interface: variable names are string keys, and variable values are PMCs.
In addition, LexPads must implement the following methods:
Called exactly once. Note that Parrot guarantees that this method will be called after the new Context object is made current. It is recommended that any LexPad that aliases registers take a pointer to the current Context at init_pmc()
Return the associated LexInfo.
The default LexInfo supports lexicals only as aliases for PMC registers. It therefore implements declare_lex_preg()
. (Internally, it could be a Hash of some kind, where keys are String variable names and values are integer register numbers.)
The default LexPad (like all LexPads) implements the Hash interface. When asked to look up a variable, it finds the corresponding register number by querying its associated LexInfo. It then gets or sets the given numbered register in its associated Parrot Context structure.
Due to implementation concerns, it will not be until late in Parrot development -- if ever -- that call frames will be available to user code as PMCs. Until then, the interpreter and continuation PMCs will be the interface to use to get frame info.
For example, to get the immediate caller's LexPad, use:
To access a sub's :outer
subroutine, use the get_outer()
Here, $P1
contains information on the current subroutine. $P2
will contain $P1
's outer subroutine.
To get $P2
's outer subroutine (if any), the same method can be used on $P2
Using the interpinfo
instruction is one way to do it. Another way is this:
It is also possible to get the :outer
sub's LexPad, as above:
See [1] for an example.
It's likely that this interface will continue to be available even once call frames become visible as PMCs.

So lately my bf and I haven't been having sex as much, but we still do at least about once a week. For a while now every time we dtd I will have BH contractions constantly afterwards. I also continue to have them frequently for the next 24 hrs or longer, but they're never painful. I don't know if it's normal or if I should mention this to my doc. I haven't said anything to my bf bc he'll freak and will probably be afraid to have sex anymore.
BH or real contractions? Tmi should I ask my doc?

Im honestly not an expert I would call the doc just to make sure. I know every time I climax I also get bh. Its normal to get it during sex because sperm release a hormone that causes it and so does climaxing. Not sure if it should be lasting that long afterward though... it doesn't last that long with me. After sex I usually on get 1 or 2 bh contractions.
Posted 01/05/2013
I get them all night and day afterward, but this last time was worse than any other time has been.
Posted 01/05/2013
I think its normal to have bh afterwards, i get them till i go to sleep. But how often are they for the next 24 hrs? Because if you're still not having more than 4 an hour i honestly wouldn't worry about it.
Posted 01/05/2013
Do you drink lots of water and rest afterwards? That's one main reason why we don't really dtd bc I'm tired of dealing with bh. And plus I can't move around bc belly is big and feel lazy for just "laying there". It's just not fun for me right now. I would say your symptoms sound normal since they aren't hurting but to reassure yourself, call the doc.

An orgasm causes the uterus to contract even while not pregnant so having them after an o is normal them not getting better after a bath or shower is another story.

Well they eventually do stop, but for the first few hours afterwards they're pretty consistent. Definitely more than 4 an hr, it's one right after another! My appointment is on Wednesday so unless it happens again I'll just ask then. The only thing is my bf will be coming to this one and I haven't mentioned it to him yet, so I guess now I will have to. He just gets so concerned about every little pain I have. I guess it's better for him to be overly concerned than not concerned at all
Posted 01/05/2013
Am I the only one who thinks BH are painful? When I get them I can't breath and I can't move until its gone. I see where they say its not supposed to be painful but mine are.

A modest profile belies the importance Wilkshire brings to the team with his reliability, plus an allround playing scope which allows him to fill a variety of positions. Tenacious and hard working, he will most likely be utilised at right full-back where he is not only dependable but has the capacity to regularly push forward and support the attack. Starting out as midfielder, Wilkshire still sometimes features in the middle of the park, and has done on a number of occasions for Australia, though mostly in the absence of regular midfielders.
Wilkshire's career took off at the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ and although expected to be very much a squad player, he started in the opening match against Japan, and then in the Round of 16 encounter with eventual world champions Italy. Legendary FIFA World Cup coach Guus Hiddink plucked Wilkshire from the relative obscurity of Bristol City to join the Australian squad at Germany 2006, describing him as a "modern player, technically very good".
Though having debuted for Australia two years prior, Wilkshire's international career boomed and he has become a permanent fixture in the squad, and generally in the starting line-up. He played at the 2007 AFC Asian Cup and featured in 11 of 14 qualifying matches for South Africa 2010.
On the back of his performances at Germany 2006, Wilkshire joined FC Twente with his time in the Netherlands capped by helping the Eredivisie side claim a first-ever place in UEFA Champions League. In 2008, Wilkshire made a successful transition to Dinamo Moscow, where he became the first Australian to play in the Russian Premier League.

Just by this photo you can see that the cage is rigid-and that's even without the X-style door bars in place, added after this photo. Built to 25.5 specs, the cage makes the car feel like one solid, rigid unit; naturally, it protects the driver.

James Fenton
James Martin Fenton (born 25 April 1949, Lincoln) is an English poet, journalist and literary critic. He is a former Oxford Professor of Poetry.
Born in Lincoln, Fenton grew up in Lincolnshire and Staffordshire, the son of Canon John Fenton, a noted biblical scholar. He was educated at the Durham Choristers School, Repton and Magdalen College, Oxford. He graduated with a B.A. in 1970.
Fenton acquired at school an enthusiasm for the work of W.H. Auden. At Oxford John Fuller, who happened to be writing A Reader's Guide to W.H. Auden at the time, further encouraged that enthusiasm. Auden became possibly the greatest single influence on Fenton's own work.

| How to install UNIX with Win 7? I would like to know how to install UNIX with Win 7, not as dual boot but simultaneously with Win 7 (using some kind of emulators or some virtual drive... I don't know exactly). Which software to use for this purpose? Regards Arpit Raj |

| Are you sure you want to install a true UNIX system? For home PCs the choice is usually a Linux-based OS, one of the most popular variants being Ubuntu. Ubuntu comes as an .iso image that you download and burn to CD which will then be bootable. You can:

| Just for practicing and learning UNIX OS, you would be better off with live CDs. These live CDs run off the CD and does not change the native operating system (windows) on it. You can try BeleniX Live CD (0.7.1) which is a Open source based Solaris OS. This live CD is free to use and distribute and can be run directly on a Computer without installation. Belenix is a real Unix operating system. Once you like this OS and would like to do serious practice, same CD can be used to install this OS on a computer. If you want to practice on Linux (a unix like environment) you can try UBUNTU live CD which works similar to Belenix.. Try to search on Big Brother (Google) and you will get lots of informaition on Unix free e-books and distros. |

| You can run pretty much any linux OS live (without installing it) off of a USB drive. Download an iso file of the distro of your choice, I'd suggest ubuntu, Linux mint or if you're on an older comp, or one with less resources to throw around (RAM, CPU, graphics card) try xubuntu or Lubuntu. Xubuntu and Lubuntu are ubuntu, just made to use less resources. Download the Linux live USB creator (just google it) and install. Point it to your .iso file, and if your USB is big enough, set persistence (up to 4 GB). Persistence let's you save your work and changes to the flash drive so you can pick back up where you left off when you shut down. I would say this would be the best choice for you if you want to learn more about Linux/unix without dual booting. And once you get more comfortable with the distro you choose, the USB will let you install it if you choose to do so. Dual boot or not. This is an easy way to check out different Linux distros. |

text: Based on the allowance allocation formula in H.R. 2454 for electricity consumers, the red states will not have enough allowances to cover their emissions from electricity generation. The shortfall in allowances to the red states will lead to higher electricity costs for consumers, the total of which will roughly correlate with the dollar losses noted on the map. For example, Texas electricity consumers will see electricity costs go up by roughly $1 billion. To make up the shortfall, red states will have to seek high-cost, non-CO2 emitting electricity sources, reduce electricity production and consumption, or purchase allowances from the green states, or purchase domestic and international offsets, likely a combination of the three.

Taylor Hicks
Taylor Hicks
With his raspy, soulful voice and salt-and-pepper hair, Taylor Hicks was one of the unlikeliest contestants to make it to the final round of American Idol, but his quirky charm and rousing delivery of songs like "Takin' It to the Streets" won Hicks a devoted legion of fans called the Soul Patrol and the title of the fifth-season American Idol. Born in Birmingham, AL, and raised in Hoover, Hicks grew up listening to classic soul artists such as Otis Redding and Sam Cooke -- which he said he could to relate to even as a child due to the divorce of his parents and other troubles -- and singer/songwriters like Van Morrison, Bob Seger, and Billy Joel. His chief influence, however, was Ray Charles, whom he admired so much that he carried a little statue of Charles with him whenever he performed. Though Hicks had no formal musical training, he picked up singing, guitar, and harmonica on his own. He began performing for his family at an early age and won a talent contest at his high school (at which time his hair started turning gray). While studying business, communication, and marketing at Auburn University, Hicks formed the Passing Through band, and left school early to try his luck in Nashville. As a touring performer, he opened for artists ranging from James Brown to Drive-By Truckers and also performed at the Playboy Mansion. Hicks released two albums with his band: In Your Time, a live album, and Under the Radar. In 2005, he auditioned for American Idol; the Memphis tryouts were so crowded that Hicks couldn't get in, so he went to the Las Vegas auditions. Despite the doubts of judge Simon Cowell, Hicks' differences from the typical pop star look and sound worked for him rather than against him in the competition, and his performances of "Levon," "Living for the City," and "Dancing in the Dark" helped put him over the top. After winning American Idol, Hicks signed a record deal with Clive Davis and 19 Recordings Unlimited, and released the single Do I Make You Proud that summer. Hicks also performed with the American Idol tour and began work on his major-label debut album. His self-titled debut arrived in late 2006. Live at the Workplay Theatre, a concert album recorded in summer 2006, was released in 2007. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

Mitt Romney - Mr. Corporate Ed
"A Chance For Every Child" is the name of the education program that the presumptive Republican presidential candidate spelled out in a speech and then a white paper released on Wednesday.
Romney is advancing a pro-choice, pro-voucher, pro-states-rights education program that seems certain to hasten the privatization of the public education system.
In a Romney-run education world, the parents of poor and special education students would choose a school — public or private, based on standardized test scores and other data — and then a specific amount of public money would follow the child to the school.
It's a voucher system that would, among other things, require families of the neediest children to constantly shop around for schools in an unstable market and would likely exacerbate the very thing — a chronic achievement gap — all of this is supposedly intended to fix. Obama opposes vouchers.
Romney's education vision is based on an ideology that demonizes unions and views the market as the driver of education reform. His program is not based on quality research or best practices; indeed, it doesn't mention the one reform that has been shown over years to be effective, early childhood education.
"If you liked President George W. Bush's education legacy, you're going to love Mitt Romney's education vision for America if he's elected president," said NEA President Dennis Van Roekel. "Not only did he recycle many of the key education players from the Bush administration but he's also pursuing some of the failed policies that hurt students and schools."
Romney's education plan outlined today during his speech demonstrates a complete disdain for public schools and educators. His speech lacks a meaningful plan for parental engagement or providing what is best for students in need. There's no mention of priorities or realities about what is actually happening in classrooms across America.
Educators also are scratching their heads about the choices that Romney made in selecting his team of education advisors, which includes former Education Secretary Rod Paige. Paige once referred to teachers, bus drivers, custodians, and other educator members of the NEA as "a terrorist organization." His list of advisors also included a state superintendent who pushed a host of bills protested by community leaders, parents and educators because he promised to increase class sizes, reduce the teaching force, replace teachers with mandatory online classes and erode educator rights. Other advisors come straight out of think tanks which have worked to undermine public education and what works for students.
- Details of Romney's School Choice Plan Emerge
- Romney Calls for Using Title I, IDEA Funds for School Choice The accountability proposals also prompted a host of question from Sandy Kress, a lawyer in Austin, Texas, and a former White House aide who played a key role in working with Congress to craft the NCLB law during President George W. Bush's tenure. "What would the expectations be for states and districts?" Kress wanted to know. "What would the expectations be for the money in terms of the report cards and for the responsibility for learning? What will the expectations be for the rigor of the standards and the consequences? That's unclear."
- Dividing Lines: Romney and Obama on Private School Choice The title of Petrilli's essay sums up his view: "The Romney education plan: Replacing federal overreach on accountability with federal overreach on school choice." Education Sector's Anne Hyslop offers a different perspective. She praises pieces of Romney's proposal but says it wrongly assumes that choice—rather than polices for turning around low-performing schools and helping struggling students—will act as a cure-all.
But it appears Romney didn't consult with special education advocacy groups before making his pitch. While special education vouchers have grown in popularity in recent years, the number of programs is small, and the number of participants is also tiny.
Many advocacy groups warn parents against using vouchers for students with disabilities because, in doing so, they give up their rights outlined in federal education and disability laws. And they may not know that.

Jamestown Community College Utilizes HelpSTAR 2012 to Enhance Productivity and Provide Superior Service to Students and Staff
OAKVILLE, Ontario, July 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — HelpSTAR, a leading pioneer of help desk software, today announced that New York's Jamestown Community College (JCC), a comprehensive, regional, open-access institution that embraces academic excellence, relies on HelpSTAR to provide staff, faculty and students with reliable, efficient features that assist with help desk activities as well as online course and transcript programs.
Thirteen years ago JCC received a state grant to develop its IT department and increase the efficiency of incoming IT support calls. After searching for a software solution, the staff chose HelpSTAR for its ease of use and affordability. Today, Dave Gibson, JCC Help Desk/User Support and the JCC IT team, support three campuses, 600 staff and over 3500 students, utilizing HelpSTAR to drive efficiency above and beyond their normal help desk activities. His team oversees any technical support that is needed across the campuses from accessibility to the Internet from within the dorms to computer problems with staff and faculty.
"We have been using HelpSTAR for years and with the great new features in HelpSTAR 2012, our JCC IT team and I are more efficient than ever," said Gibson. "It's important to give accolades to vendors who go above and beyond, and HelpSTAR does just that. As far as I'm concerned, we'll use HelpSTAR until I retire and beyond.

After a few days enjoying the heat of Mendoza, we ventured into the Andes Mountains to a very small town, Cacheuta. Known for its natural hot springs and arid mountain surroundings, we were ready for a day of relaxing. The hour bus ride out of Mendoza took us through more typical looking wine country.
I was curious who would be at this little hot springs in the middle of the week, and to our great entertainment… we were at the "fountain of youth." It was full with weathered Argentines, enjoying the rejuvenating hot springs, sipping mate tea, toasting with red wine and filling the place with hearty laughter. Truly enjoying life! There was a rowdy group next to us that laughed nonstop, and I would have loved to be able to understand them…and join them for a mate.
We enjoyed the bounties of summer with a fresh, delicious picnic. Notice the complementing colors?
Then it was the sad time to depart from Heather and Joanna…they were going back to Cordoba and this was the breaking off point for Sherry and I to forge ahead on our own. It was bittersweet. I really loved those few days with Heather and Joanna.
Sherry and I headed another two hours away from Mendoza to Upsallata, a much more rural town. We wound up into the Andes at dusk and watched the sun set as we dozed off and on after a long day of soaking up the hot sun.
Arrival in Upsallata was very late and we hadn't really pre-planned a place to stay. The hostel in the Lonely Planet said it was several miles outside the town, and seemed out best option, but we either missed the bus stop or they didn't stop at all. Either way, it worked out better that we staying in town. Sherry did a great job working her way through our first full Spanish only experience. Pepe was the sweet old man who owned a small hotel in town. With a kiss on the cheek from him, we crashed hard for our first good night's sleep in a long time.
We had a few hours to kill after we found the only bus was leaving at 2 pm for Santiago. With Sherry's limited Spanish and my big hand gestures, we found our way to a small hike just outside town. We think they said something like…"follow the dirt road out-of-town and take a left when you see the white cross on the hill." So we did!
The monochromatic hills are incredible and as always the pictures just don't do it justice. From the hill we climbed we got a great bird's-eye view of the sleepy little town of Upsallata, a little oasis in the high Andes desert. We climbed straight up this little knob that did have an iron cross at the top. It was a beautiful vista!
We found out that we came up the hard way and around the knob was a trail, dotted by crosses leading up to the top. I was fascinated by the rock. All of it was like sandstone, just pressed together, not at all like the volcanic rock I am used to in the Washington, Idaho and Alaska mountains. The colors are stunning in contrast to the green trees and brush.
All of the Andes in this area of the country are made of this rock. The rivers that run through this part of the country look like chocolate milk because they are so full of the brown sediment. It made me think of the Alaskan glacier sediment making the rivers and lakes turquoise in color.
We soon boarded our epic bus ride across the Andes. The power and majesty of these mountains captivated us. The color palate God used to paint these mountains is so unique. We couldn't take our eyes off of them the entire trip over!
We reached the Chile border just as Aconcagua came into view, in a stunning line with its brother peaks. Aconcagua is the highest peak in all of North and South America touching the sky with 22,841 feet in elevation. It was a little less impressive than I was expecting because the highway is also incredibly high in elevation.
Chile border crossing
PRO: We didn't have to pay the expected visa charge! +2 points Anna & Sherry
We got another cool stamp in our passports! +3 points Anna & Sherry
CON: We got caught "smuggling" salami into another country and everyone watched as the dogs sniffed through our food bag. Those ignorant Americans. Ops! -8 points
This Andes crossing is known for its incredible road engineering. This photo is in tribute to my Grandfather Gibbs, who was a highway engineer. 30 hairpin curves took us down more than 10,000 feet in elevation to the valley leading into Santiago, Chile. The picture says it all.
Ending in Santiago that night, we met up with our gracious hostesses Jeanette and her daughter Estephanie. It was a wonderful evening of delicious food, uplifting conversation and our first big Chile history and culture lesson.

Kindle Fire HD Tablet w/ 7" HD Display, 1280 x 800p, 16GB, 1.2 Ghz Dual-Core, Dual-Band, Dolby Audio, HD Camera & More! - $187.99 w/ FS
I got this unit recently and found out that the current batch of Kindle HDs have a serious problem with the displays. Color calibration is off and everything has a yellow tint or technically the color temperature is too low ("warm"). White backgrounds look yellow and yellows look even more yellow. It affects all colors and so you will not get accurate color rendering of media. It is most noticeable when held next to any other tablet Android or iPads.
The good news is Amazon will keep sending replacement units no questions asked but bad news is that people have found the replacements aren't any better. There are two workarounds for this. One is to burn-in the screen with a white background overnight with screen saver off. I did this and helps somewhat but doesn't fully solve the problem. It is still yellow tinted. The other work around is to get an app from Google play store and side load it into the Kindle and use the app to adjust color balance which appears to help. For more details refer to this thread on Amazon support forums. http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/cus...1V5NGC5A6 Golden Rule of a Deal: If an item has been offered validly at a price of $X at any time, then never pay more than that in the future. It has been discontinued or will appear again at that price soon enough.

Elite Gymnastics | o m a m o r i
Minneapolis-based Elite Gymnastics have Korean on their album cover, Japanese song titles, and a full load of psychedelic, laid-back techno in their 2-part Ruin EP, perhaps making them some of the sweetest music-making nerds I've heard in quite a while. Omamori is a Japanese word for "protection" and usually refers to shinto amulets that are meant to invoke safety. I've seen plenty while in a friend/coworker's car during my couple of years overseas.
As stereogum explains:
…the first set is six tracks of occasionally hazed and new wave tracks that, at 100 to 140BPM and an athletic pulse are otherwise perfectly calibrated for clubs or intense aerobics; the second recasts mostly the same songs in half-time, making it a sorta chopped and screwed sequel/companion for the cooldown or the comedown…
