Attorneys representing Oklahoma City pharmacist Jerome Ersland filed papers to appeal his murder conviction Monday. Ersland was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison for shooting and killing a teenage robber.
7/08/2011 Related Story: Jerome Ersland Sentenced To Life In Prison By OKC Judge
Earlier this year, Ersland hired a new attorney to take over his case. Monday morning that new attorney, Doug Freisen, filed a brief at the Oklahoma Court of Appeals asking for a new trial saying Jerome Ersland's old attorney didn't do his job.
10/1/2012 Related Story: Jerome Ersland's New Attorney Ready To Appeal Murder Conviction
Freisen filed the motion Monday morning with the Oklahoma Court of Appeals along with a lengthy brief detailing evidence he says should have been used to defend Jerome Ersland but wasn't.
"Under these sets of facts I do not believe Jerome got a fair trial," Freisen told reporters Monday.
Freisen is asking for the new trial on the grounds that Ersland was "Denied Effective Assistance of Counsel."
He and other supporters claim Ersland's former attorney, Irvin Box, didn't inform Ersland of the possibility of a plea deal, didn't investigate Ersland's possible medical condition of Asperger's Syndrome and didn't produce use of force experts at trial.
"The jury heard one side of the argument, they never heard Jerome Ersland's side of the story," said State Senator Ralph Shortey, one of Ersland's supporters. "They never heard any other expert witness other than what the district attorney brought."
"I think it's a big publicity stunt, everything in there is bogus, it's disingenuous," countered Box.
Box, argues he did everything he could to get an acquittal. But the judge in the case wouldn't allow critical witnesses and comments. Arguments he laid out in his own appeal that has already been filed.
"We tried to cross examine officers about what they would do if they were comforted with someone with a gun, the judge wouldn't let us get this in," said Box.
The next step: the Attorney General's office will file their own brief for the court of criminal appeals to consider.
Even Friesen admits getting a new trial on these grounds is tough.
Ersland supporters also dropped off a collection of signatures to the Governor. They are asking Ersland be pardoned.

Feb. 5, 2013
Paul Wilson Slack, 83, of the Wildwood Community near Englewood, died on Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 5, 2013, at Woods Memorial Hospital in Etowah.
A lifelong resident of McMinn County, he was a son of the late Richard and Callie Wilson Slack, and was also preceded in death by two brothers, Roy and Troy Slack; and a grandson-in-law, Rock Sisson.
He was a very active member of the Wildwood Baptist Church as long as his health permitted and had help construct both churches. He was a carpenter until his retirement. He was very proud of his large family and enjoyed spending time with them. He was an avid sports fan of the Tennessee Vols and the Atlanta Braves and he had played and coached softball for 35 years. He loved to possum hunt and, even in his late illness, he hunted through his great-grandson, Hunter Sisson, who would call him by cell phone to let him hear the dogs tree.
Survivors include his wife of 66 years, Anna Harris Slack of Englewood; two daughters and sons-in-law, Cathy and Terry Seymour of Athens and Pauline and Jeff Smith of Pinson, Ala.; two sons and one daughter-in-law, Arlin and Debbie Slack and Clinton Slack, all of Englewood; 17 grandchildren, Taleitha Billingsley, Misti Ghorley, Brandee Coppinger, Carla Roberts, Macy Beard, Renee Morgan, Stephanie Hornsby, Kathryn Smith, Sarah Ingram, Samantha Ferry, Justin Slack, Aaron Slack, Drew Slack, Brandon Slack, Jonathan Slack, T.J. Seymour and Courtney Moore; 30 great-grandchildren, Callie Slack, Maddie Slack, Charlie Painter, Lara Bonner, Trapper Hornsby, Cara Smith, Katie Roberts, Issac Ferry, Landon Slack, Ridge Slack, Lacey McKeehan, Richey Smith, Nic Smith, Adam Smith, Jordan Smith, Noelle Sisson, Hunter Sisson, Alyssa Coppinger, Cassie Coppinger, Cameron Coppinger, Cole Beard, Morgan Beard, Auggie Moore, Xochi Moore, Parker Smith, Isabella Ingram, Tristan Seymour, Will Greno, Ryan Slack and Joe Slack; eight great-great-grandchildren; three sisters, Betty Rowland, Nellie Sneed and Ruth McElhaney, all of Englewood; one brother, Carson Slack of Etowah; and two sisters-in-law, Barbara Slack and Mary Lynn Slack, both of Englewood.
Funeral services will be 8 p.m. Friday in the chapel of Smith Funeral Home with the Rev. Bill Vest and Lay Leader Dickie Slack officiating. Burial will be 10 a.m. Saturday in Wildwood Cemetery. Pallbearers will be grandsons and great-grandsons.
The family will receive friends from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Friday at the funeral home, prior to the service.

Matt Damon's Fracking Film Manages To Make No One Happy
Promised Land, the new Matt Damon film about the consequences of drilling for natural gas, manages to get bad reviews from both gas moguls and environmentalists, who all say it misses the actual issues in what should be an important debate.
The subtlety of Promised Land, the new Matt Damon film about what happens when fracking comes to a small town, can be summed up with this scene: An environmentalist played by John Krasinski attempts to show a group of grade schoolers the dangers of fracking (hydraulic fracturing, or a process where highly pressurized water, sand, and chemicals are are injected into wells, where they break apart rock containing natural gas) by dumping chemicals onto a miniaturized barn that is quickly engulfed in flames. It's an unfortunate simplification of a contentious question: What are the environmental and health hazards of letting oil and natural gas companies frack in small towns?
Without giving away any twists involving Hal Holbrooke or the comely local school teacher, the plot of Promised Land can be described up as follows: two flacks from a natural gas company (Matt Damon and Frances McDormand) come to a rural Pennsylvania town, where they're supposed to convince residents that fracking on their land is a good idea--and one that will make them rich. Krasinski's environmentalist character soon appears in town, complicating their plans.
This isn't the first natural gas-themed film to come out in recent years. The 2010 documentary GasLand also examines the potential dangers of fracking. GasLand is by far the more compelling film--but, lacking any appearances by stars of Bourne movies or The Office, it didn't have the audience reach of Promised Land. But please, watch it on Netflix right now.
Unsurprisingly, Chris Faulkner, the CEO of Texas-based Breitling Oil and Gas Company, dismisses Promised Land. "It was old myths and hysteria that we've dealt with over the past couple years," he says. "Really, the word 'fracking' was used very few times. There was no in-depth study of the facts." Faulkner has a point. You could walk into the theater not knowing what fracking is and leave still not knowing much besides the fact that it might cause farms to catch on fire and kill livestock. And while pro-fracking groups complain that the film doesn't fully explore the science of fracking, Grist recently posted a laundry list of fracking-related issues that the film neglects to mention.
Marketplace did a fact check of the film, with mixed results: cows have in fact died from mismanaged fracking operations, though the official line from the EPA is that fracking has never "caused chemicals to enter groundwater." But Faulkner admits that water contamination can happen in other ways. "Could you spill fluid at the surface? Sure," he says.
Mark Brownstein, chief counsel to the Environmental Defense Fund's national energy program, explains: "Certainly there are a lot of anecdotes out there of faucets on fire and livestock that become sick that were exposed to wastewater pits and the like. So those are the kinds of stories that people have heard. The reality on the ground of course depends a lot on how the wells are actually developed and operated. The bottom line is, it doesn't have to be that way."
Faulkner, for his part, believes the more pressing issue is the large amount of water that natural gas operations require--an issue in areas facing drought. "Our primary source of water is public sources, our second source is we buy water from farmers, and our third source is we truck water in from areas not affected by drought, where farmers have water available. That adds cost because of transportation, but it's not a linchpin that says it's no longer an affordable process," he says.
Adding to Promised Land's lack of credibility is its association with Image Nation Abu Dhabi, a company owned by Abu Dhabi Media, which is owned by the United Arab Emirates, an oil-exporting powerhouse. Image Nation financed the film, and some people think it's part of a bid to stop the U.S. from becoming energy self-sufficient.
Regardless of why Image Nation decided to fund the film, Promised Land is deeply flawed. That's unfortunate, because the U.S. could use a well-balanced focal point for debate in the midst of today's fracking boom. Remember that increased natural gas production is a key part of Obama's "All of The Above" energy plan, and the only way to produce more is to frack more. We don't yet know the full story on fracking's ramifications, and this film doesn't help.

matt damon investing in oil http://www.opportunityfundingl...
This was by far the most insipid and vapid movie review I have ever read wherein you compare a fictional work of art to a documentary. Their aims are not the same. Fast Food Nation is not Food Inc, and while their subject matter is shared one movie is about characters and the other about reality. I have not even seen the movie, and wanted to read a review about whether this was a compelling piece of cinema not on how it wasn't 100% accurate (which, for the record, you did not make a good or salient point in your critique of this movies accuracy - you essentially shill for the advocates of natural gas and you don't portray the conclusions of the Marketplace article with any honesty). Why is this movie "DEEPLY flawed?" Watch Gasland 2 if you want the full picture.
I don't think the point of the movie was to provide a documentary on fracking. It was to investigate the main character's struggle with promoting fracking. Fracking was just a vehicle. This wasn't an educational movie.
I agree - it was the movie twist that you didn't see coming that the movie was about. It was my feeling that the people of that small town would still sign on the dotted line but the price went up big time for the leases.

An interesting incident took place recently during a Chael Sonnen interview. The always colorful UFC star was asked about his good friend CM Punk leaving WWE. He informed people to ask Triple H and Stephanie McMahon about the situation. Sonnen then flashed a piece of paper to the camera. It contained the personal phone numbers for Stephanie.
March 14, 2014
During a recent interview, Ken Shamrock was asked about the backstage heat between he and Triple H, and the former UFC champion stated that HHH did not want him back in WWE because he had to put over Shamrock several times in the past. Shamrock noted that HHH has a history of being upset when asked by management to put others over.
March 13, 2014
While the company has maintained their composure about him walking away, there is now massive backstage heat on CM Punk because he will be making an appearance on the Talking Dead this weekend. Many feel that if he can fly to Los Angeles to work the show, then he could have showed up at Monday Night Raw to talk to Vince McMahon or Triple H while they were in Chicago.
March 13, 2014
A video from Monday Night Raw of Triple H accepting the challenge from Daniel Bryan for a big match at Wrestlemania 30, where if Bryan wins, he would get a chance at the WWE championship against Randy Orton and Batista in the main event.
March 13, 2014
On Monday Night Raw, WWE had a sea of fans surround Daniel Bryan in the ring, so that he can force Triple H into accepting his stipulations for Wrestlemania 30. While some of the people out there were actual fans, the majority of the Yes Movement members were backstage workers and parts of the catering crew. Management still wanted to keep things controlled.
March 11, 2014
Since WWE NXT will become a much bigger focus, developmental wrestlers have been told that they would not be called up to the main roster as quickly as previous performers have been. Since that might the morale of the top stars, Triple H addressed the roster and told them that they could still become stars without being called up.
March 9, 2014
Over the last few weeks, Mick Foley has drawn some heat from WWE fans because he has been critical of the product that Vince McMahon and Triple H are producing, especially in regards to how they are utilizing Daniel Bryan. Foley will probably draw some further ire with this Twitter post, where he praises Impact Wrestling.
March 8, 2014
Madison Square Garden is one of the most legendary venues in the entire world, and WWE is treating it as such this weekend. They're stacking up the show, despite it being just a live event. Triple H is even making an appearance. The main event will feature a special tag team match involving John Cena, Batista, Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton.
March 7, 2014
To further promote their feud and potential match at Wrestlemania 30, WWE posted this video interview of Triple H on YouTube. In it, the WWE COO was asked if he was afraid of Daniel Bryan since his character has been avoiding the match on Monday Night Raw these past two weeks.
March 7, 2014
While management has yet to finalize their match at Wrestlemania 30, there are those that believe that WWE will be bringing in Shawn Michaels to join the story line between Daniel Bryan and Triple H. The former world heavyweight champion has a connection with both performer, and it would add another interesting wrinkle to the program.

Right? I mean don't get me wrong, I want this team to develop the players to the point that we can WIN MORE. But winning isn't the top priority for me as much as I just hope it's a natural by-product of the Blazers playing smart, beautiful basketball.
You know those commercials (think it's for DirectTV, don't really care) that go through a sequence of events? i.e. "when you get beat up, you take a karate class. When you take a karate class, you want to use your karate. When you want to use your karate, you become the Fist of Goodness. When you become the FoG, you run along rooftops. When you run along rooftops, you crash into a dinner party. DON'T crash into a dinner party."
We need one of those for Blazer Basketball; "when you play smart ball, the game is beautiful. When the game is beautiful, you score more points. When you score more points, you win games..." just gotta avoid having the "don't" part in there at the end.

Blazer win percentage 2011-12: .424%. There was drama left and right, a handful of players brought morale to a grimacing low, we lost Gerald Wallace, Marcus Camby, and Coach Nate in one fell swoop. And there was no heart on that floor from anyone except the guys that knew a contract was on the line (e.g., JJ).
Blazer win percentage 2012-13: .402%. Great chemistry. The team played with vision. Many of the young prospects showed tons of promise, none more than Dame. We beat many of the best teams in the league and had amazing comeback wins. Even the losses tended to be hard-fought and filled with excitement.
That article was a nice find, 247. Thanks.
Posted 07/09/2013 9:53 AM
Early bets for our win percentage this year? I think we'll pass the .424% mark no problem.
Let's say... .463% (38 wins) at the very least!

Posted 07/09/2013 10:59 AM
50 + wins just watch
Posted 07/09/2013 11:23 AM
I think we could potentially get to .585 (48 wins) this year with the team that's put together, but that's if everything works out like we hope. Realistically, I think we get right to .500 with 41 wins.
Posted 07/09/2013 12:32 PM
I am always optimistic about our seasons. I thought we can make the playoffs last season. I think if we see improvement from Damian, Batum, Leonard, AND get a big impact from McCollum we can win 46-50 wins.

Thank You for your post
Posted 07/09/2013 10:45 PM
Ill say 40-44 realistically because Im betting Lopez does not stay healthy the entire year.
Posted 07/10/2013 9:29 AM
Health is always a factor... but speaking of Lopez, lets not forget he put up career numbers in nearly every single category this last season, plus he started ALL 82 games (I think he was one of only 3 centers to do that?)
Posted 07/10/2013 11:30 AM
Lopez doesn't jump high enough to have injury problems (fingers crossed, knocking on wood, throwing salt ****ing everywhere). Still, why would you even say that sedare? Like we aren't paranoid about injuries enough around here. But yes, we will probably have to go into the bench for a few games because of slight ankle sprains or tendonitis or things like that. So we still have some depth concerns at 5 unless Freeland comes back with a little more toughness and production.

"I really love green beans," says a four-year-old girl with red curls. "I really love green beans," she says again, just to be sure her teacher heard her. The girl and her classmates are gathered around a low table eating lunch with one of their teachers. "It's good stuff, isn't it?" the teacher says between slurps of soup. "Lots of vegetables," she adds.

At the Children's Center of the Upper Valley (CCUV), the teachers eat the same food as the children—food that's prepared in the childcare center's kitchen—and it's part of their job to talk positively about fruits and vegetables, whole-wheat bread, and other nutritious food that the center is providing more of than it did in the past. The Fruit Loops and corn chips that used to be offered at breakfast and snack time have been replaced with whole-grain cereals and fresh fruit and vegetables.
About a year ago, CCUV began partnering with Dartmouth-Hitchcock through the Upper Valley Healthy Eating and Active Living Partnership (HEAL). HEAL is a statewide initiative to help New Hampshire communities promote healthy lifestyles and stem the growth of childhood obesity. The Children's Hospital at Dartmouth provides space and technical and financial support to Upper Valley HEAL and its community partners, including CCUV (a number of other organizations also support HEAL; see below for more on the program).
For example, D-H helped CCUV secure a grant from the HNHfoundation to purchase tricycles for its playground. D-H also gave CCUV two grants to create gardens where the children grow their own vegetables. Patricia Enneper, CCUV's food program coordinator, recalls the children picking cucumbers they'd grown. "They were so excited to try [them] for snack that day," she says.
Enneper and CCUV's program director, Jennifer Hosmer, are proud of the changes they've made but they admit they have a long way to go. Next summer, they plan to expand the vegetable gardens and maybe start composting food waste. "Change is hard," says Enneper. But change like this is worth the effort, they agree. About 35% of CCUV families are on public assistance, and fruits and vegetables tend to cost more than junk food, so the program both nourishes the center's children and helps them develop a lifelong taste for healthy food.
Geriatric outreach, too
Supporting community organizations like CCUV is one of the ways Dartmouth-Hitchcock is working toward its vision of achieving the healthiest population possible. At the other end of the age spectrum from CCUV, the Dartmouth Centers for Health and Aging have teamed up with the Grafton County Senior Citizens Council (GCSCC) to provide education, support, and networking services to older adults, their caregivers, and the professionals who work with them.
"There's certainly a strong need for more geriatric education," says Roberta Berner, executive director of GCSCC, which serves 39 communities. And a social-service provider like GCSCC and a medical-care provider like Dartmouth-Hitchcock "have a lot of points of intersection," she adds.
By forging such connections, D-H is helping to establish not just a safety net for the region's most vulnerable residents, but also fertile ground from which stronger, healthier communities can grow.
More about these initiatives
Funding for Upper Valley HEAL comes from the HNHfoundation, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation, Harvard Pilgrim Healthcare Foundation, Endowment for Health, and New Hampshire Charitable Foundation. In addition, the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth hosts and provides financial support for UV HEAL.
Dartmouth-Hitchcock also works with UV HEAL, Willing Hands Enterprises, and primary-care providers in the region to help provide fruits and vegetables to lower-income families with young children. This initiative is called Produce Prescriptions (see the "LEARN MORE" box above for further information).
UV HEAL is part of a statewide HEAL initiative, a project of the Foundation for Healthy Communities. In addition, Dartmouth-Hitchcock's Aging Resource Center offers numerous programs to the public free of charge. Videos of previous events can be viewed online. And these programs are just a small sampling of the many ways Dartmouth-Hitchcock aims to meet its vision of achieving "the healthiest population possible."
The numbers
The magnitude of Dartmouth-Hitchcock's impact on the region can be measured in stories like the one above, or in numbers like those below. One of the greatest benefits D-H offers is charity care—medical services provided at a discount or free of charge. From fiscal year 2007 through fiscal year 2009, the cost of financial assistance to patients totaled $61 million. Here is a summary of all the community benefits provided by D-H during that period:

anybody know if the A+R shredder cross shreds or just cuts strips?
I have an antique coffee bean grinder for when, you know, the apocalypse hits.
I love my hand crank flash light, no need to worry about if there are batteries that work, or if you have replacement batteries.

Oakley Jawbone
Oakley's legacy of sports performance innovation continues with the new Jawbone. The latest evolution of a coveted design, this frame is like nothing ever seen in the world of sports. Every aspect is engineered around the clarity and protection of High Definition Optics® (HDO®).
With Oakley's new Switchlock™ Technology, the lower part of the frame rim opens to allow easy access for quick lens changing, letting you optimize performance in any light condition. The revolutionary design holds the lenses with a suspension system so stresses on the frame won't affect the optics. With ordinary frames, flexing can change the surface contours of the lenses, causing optical distortion. The new architecture ensures there's nothing to diminish the unbeatable clarity of High Definition Optics® (HDO®), and you still get the optimized comfort and fit of a flexible frame design.
Pivot the nose piece to unlock the lower jaw and open it for easy lens changing. There's minimal handling involved, so dirty fingers don't get all over the lens. The quick-release system closes with a cam that locks each lens securely in place.
Lens Colour: Black
Frame Shape: Wrap
Frame Colour: Black
RRP: £191.00(Price Match Guarantee)

Will cyber bills offer real solutions or slogans?
Tuesday - 3/6/2012, 6:29pm EST
Jim Lewis, director and senior fellow of the Technology and Public Policy Program, CSIS
Jim Lewis, the director and senior fellow of the Technology and Public Policy Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, joined In Depth with Francis Rose to discuss the competing proposals.
Lewis testified before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee about the proposed cyber bills. Lewis has said he worries that the cyber proposals could be watered down.
"People will try to dilute legislation, put forward slogans instead of solutions, and write in loopholes," he wrote in a commentary for AOLGovernment. "The goal should be to strengthen, not dilute."

For the first game in the trilogy, which shares the name, go here.MOTHER is an Eastern RPG trilogy by Nintendo, the brainchild of Japanese writer and media personality Shigesato Itoi as a personal experiment in the ability of the video game medium to tell a story. Yep, it's an auteur-directed game series, and one of the first of its kind, too. It was named for the John Lennon song "Mother", of whom Itoi is a large fan, and is subject to quite a lot of Title Drops.The games are known for their strange sense of humor, simple yet subtly detailed cartoonish style, deconstructive approach to its genre and medium, bizarre near-parodical interpretation of America from the perspective of a foreigner exposed to it only through American TV and cinema, and for their sad and even terrifying moments. The series as a whole is a chronic victim of No Export for You, and while it is rather famous now, that may be more related to, or at least instigated by, its continued presence in the Super Smash Bros. series.Completely unrelated to the comedy starring Albert Brooks and Debbie Reynolds.

Berkeley Utility Users Tax, Measure Q (November 2012)
From Ballotpedia
A Berkeley Utility Users Tax, Measure Q ballot question was on the November 6, 2012 ballot for voters in the City of Berkeley in Alameda County, where it was approved.[1][2]
With the approval of Measure Q, the city's existing utility users tax rate stays the same, but will be extended to cover more utilities, including cell phones and related/similar technologies.
Election results
Measure Q | ||||
Result | Votes | Percentage | ||
Yes | 42,382 | 85.36% | ||
No | 7,266 | 14.64% |
- Final certified results from the Alameda County elections office.
Ballot text
The question on the ballot:
MEASURE Q: "Without increasing the rate, shall an ordinance be adopted to update Berkeley's existing utility users tax, which funds police, fire and other essential City services, to keep current with changes in technology and Federal and State laws while maintaining exemptions for nonprofit educational organizations and hospitals, adding an exemption for low-income taxpayers, and requiring an annual verification and public report as to collection and expenditure of the tax?" |

text: Bud or Flower Am I a bud Or bloomed into a flower? Sometimes I face and stand, Yet other times I cower. Hide in the dark Or face the light to which I am bound? Although I seem to know, Still I circle round. So much gray, Though it should seem black and white. Why can't the answer, Look either day or night. Free falling into nothing, I grab at anything. I want to shy away. I do what I don't mean. A breeze now more a tornado. Rain turn into a thunderous storm. I need the light within me. I need to be kept warm. Hidden from myself. Turning left to right. I ponder what I know, Though it's black and white. Come find me, Anything that can pull me out. I need to return. I must cover a different route. I look to the past. Was I living then or now? Where did I go to? When will I find out how? I am stuck here, In a rut I am caught. For I do not know, How here I got.

Water and Ice
- Ice Crystals -
(Ice Crystals - 07) Over the winter, the
ice on the lake was well over a foot thick, but as it thawed in the spring and
became "mushy," we noticed that the ebbing currents of the lake caused the ice
to break up into these same needle-shaped crystals. These crystals were
washed up on the surface.
Presented here are just a few of the countless components of God's creation. Just as we cannot have life without water, neither can we have lasting peace without compassion. It is our hope and prayer that this series will motivate people to live and act in a cruelty-free manner; that we would no longer hurt or destroy each other, the animals or our environment.

When you take off for work or play, whether it's a car trip to the next town or a long flight across an ocean, nothing can ruin a vacation jaunt quite like sore, aching feet. happy feet make for vacation funMany variables can make or break the mood for your traveling tootsies, so let's get up to speed on the best ways to keep feet happy and healthy while traveling. Foot careYou may want to pay for a professional service in a salon or spa or perform your own pedicure the day before your trip. By making sure toenails are trimmed and dead skin is exfoliated (Use a skin care scrub or a foot file on any calloused areas. Using the foot file on DRY feet is the most effective way to remove dead skin. NEVER cut or let anyone else cut any of the skin on your feet with a razor device. They are awful and can cause a major foot injury, which is not what you need when you are about to leave town!) then moisturized, you set the stage for feet that are happy and healthy. Dr. Andrew Weil, world-renowned integrative medicine doctor, recommends the following steps for happy feet at home or on the road:
It's wise to pack a foot care kit with bandages, a nail file, nail clippers and a cooling foot lotion. Antibiotic cream is also a good idea. Take precautions with air travelSome people experience painful leg and foot swelling, especially during long flights. Preventive suggestions include avoiding salt and wearing support stockings if necessary. Taking the time to get up and move around while in the air helps to keep circulation going, making for less chance of swelling. You also should flex and extend your feet and ankles and even raise knees while flying if you have the room to do so. ShoesAs I've grown older and experienced a knee issue that required surgery a few years ago, I've truly learned that shoes do make a difference in how your legs, knees and feet feel on a daily basis. Taking a trip is the very last time you want to take any chances with shoes, period. It goes without saying that you shouldn't plan to break in new shoes or wear shoes you already know are not very comfortable because they are "sooooo cute" as you jet off on your travel soiree. It's best to opt for low-heeled shoes with arch and heel support. On a recent trip, I walked all over town in a great pair of sandals from Orthaheel. I usually have to wear a knee support if I'm doing all manner of walking while on vacation but these well-crafted shoes provided an excellent level of support for my legs and feet that rendered my knee support useless! I can't say enough about how comfortable and supportive they are, plus they look great with dresses or jeans. Podiatrist and Orthaheel founder Phil Vasyli has also created the Vionic, a sporty shoe choice, clinically shown to reduce pronation, which can improve foot function and relieve associated aches and pains. Another great option for shoes that support your feet and your sense of style is Aetrex Footwear. This leading orthotic and footwear company has combined their expertise in podiatry and fashion to offer sandals that are designed with memory foam, ensuring an equal distribution of pressure to the feet and an anatomically shaped footbed that eliminates pressure and friction. You may need to add insoles or even custom orthotics to your own shoes if they are lacking in that department. Again, break these in long before you hit the highway or board the 747 for your vacation. Proper arch and heel support go a long way toward preventing sore feet, especially if you are walking on uneven surfaces. Ballet flats and flip flops come to mind when I consider some of the most unsupportive shoes out there, so you should certainly reconsider if those are your go-tos for travel footwear. Making your feet a priority when you travel will certainly save you a lot of heartache and help you to enjoy your time away from home. Follow these easy steps to prevent sort feet while traveling and be sure to share them with all of your family and friends. Happy Trails!

Prioritizing People, Process, Technology in Enterprise Security
This week I presented at the 5th Annual ISSA Los Angeles Summit, and it was quite an honor being asked to speak alongside some very well respected people from our industry. If you get a chance to make it out to LA next year, I highly recommend this event, at very least you'll have some extremely interesting conversations.
One of the things that stuck with me as I sit here, back at the office, is the discussion that continued long after my talk time was up. Out in the hallways and into dinner the discussion centered on the proper formulation of people, process and technologies in the enterprise. More specifically, the priority order of these three areas for maximum effectiveness in an enterprise setting.
My belief is that the proper order is process -> people -> technology — and although there was some vigorous disagreement initially — we settled on this being true. The analogy that comes to mind is rooted in sports. You can use almost any team sport, really, but since I'm an unapologetic hockey fan, I think of a hockey team. You can have fantastic individual players, but that alone won't win you the Stanley Cup. You must have those fantastic players all working and executing on a single strategy and game plan. This involves a good coach, because we've seen amazing players on a poorly coached team struggle to win games.
In the enterprise setting you're going to, first and foremost, need to have a solid strategy and well-aligned program for your security organization. You need to focus on process first. You need to work out what it is that you want to accomplish and how you'll get things done. Once you're confident that you've built a solid game plan, you can move forward and place the best possible resources you can afford in the roles they're best suited for.
Recently I discovered something disturbing when I was advising a client on the matter of maturing their security practice. Many of their operations analysts — those who watch the dashboards and decide when to push the big red button — were frustrated and appeared completely disorganized. There was a pool of 10 or so people that was charged with looking at the event dashboards part-time, and doing "general security stuff" the rest of the time. Since the processes within security were poorly defined, these resources were over-used doing what appeared to be busywork, while events and potentially critical incidents fell to the floor.
Management obviously wanted to replace these seemingly unproductive employees, which was a mistake. First thing that needed to be done was to streamline the work-streams around these highly productive, although poorly focused, resources. Once their roles were more properly defined and documented, processes could be developed for them to follow. Repeatable processes were the key to making this operations team effective as it defined steps, and identified roles, documentation and decision-making capabilities. Ultimately, it wasn't a bad group of people, it was the process around them that was broken.
I suspect this may be the case in many of your organizations today. You may be frustrated that your human resources aren't living up to expectations, when it may actually not be their fault. Investigate the way you've outlined their roles and responsibilities and how you've framed the processes they are to follow to accomplish their jobs. If you haven't done your job and documented and designed processes correctly, you can't expect your all-star team to perform.

I might add policy into that mix as well. From what I've observed, if it isn't in policy, no one bothers to pay attention to it. You will have "queue jumpers" and poorly planned projects without having a policy stating the process around certain functions. We are currently focusing on both process and policies for our program. Many of the policies still need some major overhauling. Once things are set in policy we can go back to the lines of service and say "There! It's in policy now do it" and they can't argue the fact. The process is an living document, it will constantly change in order to improve, but without it, the people won't know what technology they may need. So I guess I agree with the order as well. Since technology is ever changing, it is almost irrevelvant. It is the tool to accomplish the process and we are always updating our tools to more efficient ones. The people connect it all as they can always bring new ideas to the table to link the process and the technology based on what policy requires. I could be just randomly typing stuff as it is early on a Sunday morning and the coffee has not kicked in, but I think it is a great topic for discussion.

My experience in "improving operational performance" supports the position that problems tend to stem from a lack of process. When taken to the next step in root cause analysis, "why is there a lack of adequate process?" - then the issue becomes a people problem with those tasked to lead and manage in the organization. This could also be taken to the next step - that there is a lack of adequate process for leadership training and selection. At some point people develop, maintain, operate and manage the process. I have not seen where the root cause is an endemic problem with individual performers - here and there are individual issues of course, but Leadership and Process are typically what need to change - in parallel.

I probably would have been one of the people saying the order should have been people, process/policy and technology in that order, but you make a good case for process/policy going first. At least I generally tend to put technology last.
In my experience, many companies put technology first along with the lion's share of their dollars, but are flabbergasted when the causes of incidents and issues are broken processes and untrained or recalcitrant people. I think that's mainly due to C-level folk coming down with a nasty case of "The Box Will Save Us"-itis, which manifests itself in poorly planned and implemented technology forcing people to find new processes and behaviors to circumvent said Box. It's a sad story I see playing out far too often.
Your customer example seems like a chapter out of The Phoenix Project by Gene Kim, Kevin Behr and George Spafford. Ever since I finished that book, the examples of how things are out of joint that I see in dealing with my customers are so apparent I can't imagine how I didn't see it before. It's a great book everyone involved in IT and InfoSec should read and keep as a desk reference.

Judy and Peter Outrun a Stampede
Judy and Peter barely escape with their lives when a bunch of wild animals stampede through their home. That's really nothing compared to what it's like to be at a department store when it opens on Black Friday. At least the animals will eat your lifeless, trampled body. There's no circle of life at Walmart.

The healing effect of mom's voice benefits babies.
By Sarah Yang for TheBump.com
Veer / The Bump
Because they spend less time in utero, preemie babies are more likely to have cardiorespiratory problems like apnea (pauses in breathing that last longer than 20 seconds) and bradycardia (slow heart rate), but a new study published in the Journal of Maternal-Fetal and Neonatal Medicine from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston suggests that simulation of maternal sounds (a recording of mom's voice and heartbeat) while they're in the NICU can lower infants' chances of having these problems.
Signs of labor to watch out for
Researchers took 14 extremely premature infants (born at 26-32 weeks of gestation) and made sure that they received maternal sound stimulation four times each day while they were in the NICU. The maternal sounds were played in the baby's incubator. Researchers found that apnea and bradycardia occurred at much lower frequencies when the infants were exposed to maternal sounds, compared to when they were exposed to regular hospital environment noises -- it worked especially well for infants who were born at 33 weeks and older.
Researchers say that the findings are promising, but since there were only 14 babies analyzed, more research is needed to determine the impact.

Finding the right job in conflict resolution, international development and related fields requires a combination of the right experience and training, an understanding of the field, developing strong connections and a bit of serendipity. In addition to academic and/or professional training, it is essential to have an understanding of how conflict resolution works in practice. Many people working in conflict related jobs, will not find employment with "conflict resolution organizations" but with organizations in others sectors (international development, education, environment, business) working on conflict related jobs. Thus it is also important in the job search to broaden your scope to include international development organizations, government and intergovernmental institutions, for-profit and business institutions, educational institutions, and more.
One of the things that I encourage my students to consider is developing strong skills in conflict resolution processes and theory, but also develop an expertise in a another sector and/or regional area. For more information on careers in the field, see a report I co-authored, Skills, Networks and Knowledge: Careers in International Peace and Conflict Resolution. offers guide to careers in the field based on interviews with over 60 organizations and practitioners. The document also offers 10 pages of resources for finding jobs, internships, scholarships and more. You can download the report for Download Webreport.pdf or at the ACT website. Another great resource is a Career Guide from Sustainability on Corporate Social Responsibility. Idealist has also developed an excellent guide to Nonprofit Careers and a separate Careers Resources Section . Dr. John Paul Lederach and Kate Mansfield from the Kroc Institute have also developed a wonderful visual representation of possible careers in the field.
Here are some additional career development suggestions
1) Develop a Strong Resume - Make sure you have a strong, clear and compelling resume and cover letter. See the Download TipsforWritingEffectiveResumes.pdf . Many university career centers also offer guidance on resumes.
2) Conduct Informational Interviews - Most people are more than happy to talk about their job and conducting informational interviews can be an excellent way to learn more about an organization and what a career is like in a particular area. Informational interviews are a chance for you to ask general questions of someone already in the field. However, it is very important in informational interviews not to ask for a job or put pressure on the person you're speaking with to help you find a job.
3) Subscribe to Key Web and Job Lists - There are countless numbers of websites that provide resources on jobs and internships in the field (and in related fields). You should get on all or some of these sites as you will get daily or weekly updates of opportunities around the world (note some charge a fee, whiles others are free or provide partial postings for free).
Some of the best sites for jobs directly in conflict resolution, development, social entrepreneurship, etc. include:
Other Job Sites/Resources that may have relevant jobs:
3) Use your contacts/networks - One of the key strategies for finding a job/internship is to consult your personal and professional networks. Let your professors, colleagues and friends know that you're seeking an opportunity and perhaps they will have suggestions/contacts. University career centers and alumni can also be terrific resources.
4)Join New Networks- Joining a professional network in the field can also be a useful way to make contacts and learn about opportunities. Some relevant networks include:
Society for International Development or Society for International Development DC Chapter
Association for Conflict Resolution
Women in International Security
Peace and Justice Studies Association
5) Examine Ethical Practice - When you are researching an organization it is important to make sure that the organization's ethics and practice fit with your values. If you're offered a job (hopefully before this happens) learn about what the organization does, how do they treat their staff, how do they work in they field and with partners, etc.
6) Considering Taking a Job to Get Experience - Although many people would like to obtain their ideal job right away, sometimes it may be worth considering taking a job that will help you develop the necessary skills, contacts and experience that in the future can help lead to more of an ideal job.
7) Explore Fellowship Opportunities - There are many excellent fellowships/scholarships that do provide funding for independent research/volunteer work/study. Thus, fellowships can be an excellent way to get experience in the field. You can find many fellowships/scholarships on this site by searching by various keywords.
8) Explore Organizations that Have Developed Mentoring Programs for New Employees - A number of organizations have developed special entry level positions in which new employees receive extra mentoring. Look for organizations that have Junior Program Officer Positions (some in the UN), Entry Level Fellowships (Catholic Relief Services in the US) and others.
9) Develop an Expertise in a Needed Area - There are number of current areas in which the field is in need of developing further expertise. Developing your skills in this area can make you more attractive to potential employers. Some areas include: Program Evaluation and Monitoring, Conflict Mainstreaming and Conflict Sensitivity (Integrating Conflict Across Sectors), Organizational Conflict Management. Talk with your colleagues and other professionals in the field to see what might be potential growth areas.

Thank you very much for this wonderful post! Does anyone know the think tanks or research institutes in conflit resolution/peacebuilding that hire people who just obtained master's?
