"I love your company. This is the first year I have been able to find all my ornaments from one site. I usually have to order online and through several different magazines. Ornaments are a tradition in the family I'm marrying in to and I love that I can look back at my previous orders and be sure not to give the same ornament to the same people. Y'all are so awesome.
Thank you so much for doing such a great job!

The county's plan was to create additional parking spaces at Siesta Key's beach access No. 7, when it purchased adjacent property for $5.4 million in 2007.
However, snowy plovers, a threatened species, had nested on the dunes near beach-access points in May.
The nests were roped off, but volunteers discovered footprints inside the boundary, and two nests were destroyed.
Beach access No. 7 was closed from May 14 to Sept. 3 to avoid further damage. Closing the area, though, also affected the county's plans to add parking spaces there.
A new plan was presented to county commissioners Sept. 29, which accommodates the birds.
On the 3.4 acres of adjacent property sits an old beach cottage, a boardwalk, dunes and open beach.
John McCarthy, the county's parks general manager, said the cottage will stay, the dilapidated boardwalk will be repaired and 34 parking spaces will be added to the existing 11 spots.
But commissioners made sure that if the snowy plovers return to the same spot, or any other beach access, that the access would be closed immediately to protect them.
"We can't predict where (the birds) are going to be or where they're going to nest at any particular time," said McCarthy.
Even if a beach access is closed due to bird nesting, the access' parking spots would remain open.
McCarthy said Siesta Key's 10 beach-access points are close enough, so that beachgoers could park at a closed access point and walk to another.
Commissioners approved McCarthy's proposal.

Linux Security for Beginners
Security is one of the biggest issues on the Internet today. It affects everyone in one way or another. If you use Linux, it should be a big concern to you. You may think security is for system administrators managing 20 or more machines and not for the average user with a simple PPP link to the Internet. This may in fact be true, for the chances of anything happening are rare. Are you willing to take a chance and trust the security of your system right out of the box?
Ignorance on your part may turn into a powerful tool in the hands of a cracker willing to compromise your system. Is knowing every in and out truly necessary to keep your system secure enough for safe usage? Not really, but one of the best things you can do is become aware of what is available. Many people are intimidated by the subject, since it covers a wide area, but you don't have to be a security guru to be safe. On the other hand, you do need to be willing to get your hands a little dirty.
Before talking about security, the basic underlying principles of the TCP/IP protocol suite must be understood. There are two parts to TCP/IP: tcp and udp. I won't go into great detail about the difference between them—mainly, tcp is connection-oriented and udp is connectionless. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, and both are used differently.
These two protocols are the underlying base for applications run over TCP/IP networks. Each machine connected to a TCP/IP network has its own IP address to uniquely identify it. Each application has its own port number on that IP address. A normal connection to the Internet is no different, since it could be considered a giant TCP/IP network. The two files which govern an application's port and protocol are /etc/services and /etc/protocol. The first, /etc/services, identifies the machine's services and the port number and protocol for each particular service. The second file, /etc/protocol, simply identifies the protocols used in /etc/services.
These two files identify only each service, its port number and its protocol. Where is the application? Instead of having an application running in the background listening for its respective port and protocol and perhaps generating hundreds of daemons, we have only one: inetd. inetd listens for each service, and when it notices a remote host making a call, it spawns the application bound to that port number. How does inetd know which application goes with which service? It uses its configuration file, /etc/inetd.conf. This file matches the service found in /etc/services with an application found on the system.
For example, let's take a look at a small chunk of that file:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/ftpd in.ftpd\ -l telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/telnetd\ in.telnetd finger stream tcp nowait bin /usr/sbin/fingerd\ in.fingerd
You may be familiar with some of these common Internet applications. But what does all this mean? Beginning with the first column, the variables correspond to the service, the socket type (depends on tcp or udp), the protocol to be used, wait or nowait (depends on tcp or udp), user field, the application or server to be called, and the arguments passed to the application.
Where is the security problem in all this? All of these services offer some kind of access to your system and are the principal means by which a cracker can compromise your system. How do we police it? Let us look again at the fields of the code chunk shown above. The first field, representing the service, can be understood with common sense. If you won't be using that service, there is no reason to offer it. If no one besides yourself will be using your box, comment the line out of your /etc/inetd.conf file. The same thing applies to those services that run independently of inetd, such as web servers (httpd) and mail servers (sendmail). Each has its own daemon running in the background which must be killed to eliminate them as potential security risks.
The next field of concern is the user field. Run applications under the least privileged user possible. If an application doesn't require root to run properly, don't run it with root privileges.
The last field of concern is the most important for those services you do require to be available. My example above works fine when offering those services, but inetd doesn't give you much control. A far better alternative comes with most Linux distributions: tcpd. This daemon wrapper is executed instead of your usual server application, and offers far more protection. It will log requests for services to syslog, and it can allow and deny hosts based on rules specified in the /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files. The rules can do very complex things you wouldn't normally be able to do, such as allowing or denying certain services for certain hosts. It can also trigger applications based on access of services or requests by remote hosts. The list of possibilities is endless. Details on this subject can be found in the August 1997 Linux Journal (issue 40) in the excellent article entitled "Wrap a Security Blanket Around Your Computer" by Lee Brotzman. Many security and administration books covering this subject are also available.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Most people will use them to make short term bets. They will also come in handy to help hedge for longer periods of time even if they struggle to meet their exact objectives.
The double short funds are more appealing to me. If you are interested in hedging with these, you can protect more of your portfolio with fewer dollars or taken another way you don't have to sell as much stock to make room for the double short ETF of your choice.
Another thing to keep in mind, perhaps this is obvious, is if you own one of these and the market starts to go up the one you own will become less and less of a drag on the portfolio. An initial position that hedges 20%, so putting 10% of your portfolio into a double short fund, would drop in value when the market goes up. At the same time the other 90% of your portfolio would be going up. So the more the market goes up the less you are hedged.

I fully agree with John Piper to say about the risks of these emerging churches that do not prioritize the teaching of the Gospel truly authentic. These new churches religious clubs seem self-help. How to get money, how to achieve success, how to get respect, how to achieve this and that and finally how to go to heaven (by plane). They are preachers with materialistic messages to a secular audience, eager for material goods. Both deserve ... (Comment from theologian Valdemir Mota de Menezes, The SCRIBE)

Farringdon Capital Management has been running its Farringdon Alpha One global equity strategy for just over two years, but those years could not have been more dramatically different.
The fund opened into a heady bull market in December 2006, which continued into the first half of 2007. Then came 2008, and with it the worst recession since the 1930s. Despite those dramatic twists, Geneva-based Farringdon posted gains in both the bullish and bearish market phases - with the fund returning 15.28% in 2007 and a robust 4.87% in 2008, when the major world equity market indices plunged over 40%. And the fund is continuing its strong performance in 2009 - with a 12.33% gain through April.

Born in New York City on January 1, 1911, Hank Greenberg became one of Major League Baseball's first Jewish super stars, while playing for the Detroit Tigers. A native of the Bronx, it was not surprising when Greenberg was offered a contract by the New York Yankees. However, he was not willing to compete against Lou Gehrig for the 1st base position and instead signed with the Detroit Tigers, facing antisemitism at home and on the road.

RSL Games Hold Some Luster |
Clubs - Top Club Leagues |
With the dropout of the Utah Warriors, teams that had the Utah club on the schedule now sit idle. As a result, only twice is there a weekend wherethere are two games in the West. Yet another example of how the Utah debacle undercut the league and the game. Playoff qualifiers are decided already even with three weekends of games to go (which is a situation at odds with predictions, including ours, that held that the season would be in doubt until the end). NYAC and Life have dominated in the East. Old Blue, with two, and Boston and Dallas with three games remaining, cannot catch Life even if the Running Eagles lost out and they won out. In fact, those three teams can't even play for a winning record, as they have already clinched sub-.500 season. So the question is, can Life claim a home playoff game against NYAC? The answer is: technically, yes, but realistically, no. Life will have to win both of their remaining games with bonus points (including against NYAC in Marietta), and then hope NYAC loses to 0-3-2 Dallas on May 19. It's hugely, highly, enormously unlikely that such a thing will happen. Life visits Boston Saturday and Dallas plays Old Blue. The most interesting aspects of these games will be: 1) How does the Life pack perform against Boston's scrum, which has been their best feature this season, and 2) Can Dallas and Old Blue reproduce the craziness that resulted in a 40-40 tie on March 31? Both Dallas and Boston are looking for their first win (they tied each other). That search is likely to continue after this weekend. In the West, SFGG and Old Puget Sound Beach have clinched playoff spots. The Chicago Griffins have just the one game left, and are six points adrift, and since you can only earn five points in a game, that's it for them. Denver is 12 points behind with two games to go. So, again, the question comes down to who gets homefield advantage. That question will remain unanswered, most likely, until the last game, when OPSB and SFGG face off in Seattle. RUGBYMag.com will have eyes on the sidelines there to give you a full report. It all comes down to bonus points, probably. SFGG can overhaul Beach by winning and denying the Seattle team bonus points, But seeing as Beach is averaging 50 points a game, it's unlikely they will be held to less than four tries by anyone. This weekend, OPSB goes to meet the Chicago Griffins, a team they beat 27-15 in Seattle March 31. In that game, fullback Isi Daveta was put out of the season by a late hit from Roland Suniula. OPSB's replacement fullback, Mike Palefau, is in the UK with the USA 7s team, as is flanker Andrew Durutalo. So Beach will need to call on their depth. You wonder if there's a little bad blood between the two teams because of the hit (for which Suniula received a yellow card, but no other punishment). Hopefully it just becomes a compelling rugby game, and if the previous result is any judge, and if we put stock in the motivation of playing at home, and playing for a .500 season, then it could be a tough day for Beach. SFGG visits the Denver Barbarians. This is actually a game that matches up well for Denver. They like to keep the ball moving, and Golden Gate's bread and butter has been power up front. It's possible Denver could run SFGG into the ground. More likely we'll see another high-scoring explosion (games involving either of these two teams produce an average of 72 points). |

By Ellis Starr – National Racing Analyst for Equibase
The 64th running of the $1 million Besilu Stables Florida Derby is one of just seven races to award the winner 100 points as part of the Road to the Kentucky Derby series, which guarantees a horse a starting spot in the gate on the first Saturday in May if their owner and trainer choose to run. Drawing a field of 10 not only running for points but the winner's share of the $1 million purse, this year's Florida Derby has two levels of contenders. The first level of contenders is made up of horses proven in important prep races this year. The other level is comprised of horses needing to finish first or second in order for their connections to even consider moving forward on the path to the Kentucky Derby. Orb leads the first group, coming off a visually impressive win at Gulfstream Park in the Fountain of Youth Stakes last month. Itsmyluckydayand last year's 2-year-old champion Shanghai Bobby are the other two in that top tier, having just finished first and second, respectively, in the Holy Bull Stakes at Gulfstream Park in January and then passing the Fountain of Youth to prepare for this important test.
Of the rest, Frac Daddy has the best credentials, having finished second by a neck in the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes last fall. However, following a poor effort in the Holy Bull and some physical setbacks, it is unclear whether he can recover his 2012 form. Merit Man won the Spectacular Bid Stakes at Gulfstream in January before a fourth-place finish in the Hutcheson Stakes. However, he is attempting to run two turns for the first time in a race in which all the rest have already done so. Are You Kidding Me Me finished second in the Summer Stakes last September and enters the race off a nose defeat following five months off, so he might improve and run competitively. Both Pontiff and Pick of the Litter face steep class tests having just won for the first time and moving right into Grade 1 stakes company. Narvaez just won an allowance-level race but is also being asked to make a major step up in class. Last but not least, Indy's Illusion has run twice recently at the 1 1/8-mile distance of the Florida Derby, missing by a neck in his most recent race and with a shot to improve markedly and have an impact.
Itsmyluckyday has improved in each of his last four races, including an impressive victory over heavy favorite Shanghai Bobby on Jan. 26 in the Holy Bull Stakes at Gulfstream Park. Having earned a career-best and field-high 109 Equibase Speed Figure in that effort, Itsmyluckyday improved his record in two-turn races on the main track to 3-for-4 and stamped himself a strong contender on the Road to the Kentucky Derby. Not only that, but Itsmyluckyday was flattered when Holy Bull third-place finisher Clearly Now won the Swale Stakes in his next start. As a son of Lawyer Ron, who won the 2006 Arkansas Derby as well as both the 2007 Jockey Club Gold Cup and Woodward Stakes, Itsmyluckyday should have no issues with the distance of the Florida Derby nor the 1 ¼-mile distance of the Kentucky Derby six weeks from now. Therefore, Itsmyluckday should be the one to beat in this year's Florida Derby.
Orb is also on a pattern of improvement, with more expected as he makes his third start of the year. That being said, the career-best 101 Equibase Speed Figure Orb earned last month winning the Fountain of Youth Stakes is a bit short of how fast Itsmyluckyday ran winning the Holy Bull. Just the same, Orb is an example of how much improvement top 3-year-olds can show from one race to the next when moving forward by nine points from his previous effort. If Orb shows similar improvement in the Florida Derby - to the 110 Equibase Speed Figure level - he could come together with Itsmyluckyday at the finish line and provide us with an exciting finish that could be duplicated on the first Saturday in May in the Kentucky Derby.

Indy's Illusion may be the upsetter of note, because even though he finished second in an allowance level race in his most recent start on March 2, the 98 Equibase Speed Figure earned that day is better than the 92 Equibase Speed Figure Orb earned when victorious at the equivalent level prior to his winning the Fountain of Youth. As a son of 1992 Santa Anita Derby and Breeders' Cup Classic winner A.P. Indy (who missed the Derby because of a sore hoof but went on to win the Belmont Stakes and earn Horse of the Year honors), Indy's Illusion could blossom into a top Derby contender and should be with a chance to run very well in this event.
Shanghai Bobby won the first five races of his career including the Breeders' Cup Juvenile and was named champion 2-year-old male of 2012. Returning to the races in the Holy Bull Stakes in January, Shanghai Bobby wasn't disgraced when second to Itsmyluckyday, who had already raced in 2013. Having earned a 106 Equibase Speed Figure in the Holy Bull, Shanghai Bobby appears capable of surpassing his career-best 107 Equibase Speed Figure, which was earned when winning the Champagne Stakes last fall. On the other hand, in nearly all of his victories Shanghai Bobby has been first or second in the early stages. In this race, with Merit Man stretching out from shorter races and probably seizing the lead from the start, Shanghai Bobby may be forced to run faster than average in the early stages, which may result in him being vulnerable to being passed in the stretch.
The rest of the field (with their best representative Equibase Speed Figure): Are You Kidding Me (103), Frac Daddy (105), Merit Man (100), Narvaez (88), Pick of the Litter (87) and Pontiff (89).

High Tech Worker Shortage: Has Anything Changed?
s decision to make Chicago its headquarters, says Irvine, in order to avoid the usual high tech regions like Silicon Valley — and have access to a broader workforce.
Another small firm, Cleversafe, which provides data storage, did the same, says CEO and founder Chris Gladwin. And that's paid off when it comes to hiring.
"We wanted to locate outside of traditional talent clusters but close to academia," says Gladwin. "We have great relationships with local Chicago colleges and universities and established a strong culture of innovation. When you do that, the talent pours in."
For those firms losing out in the talent search, one analyst says the problem is not so much a shortage of workers but how they and prospective hires are connecting.
"Workers and employers are surprisingly having trouble finding each other in this high tech age," says Bala Iyer, a professor of information technology management at Babson College.
"Companies are looking for employees using traditional methods, and it's not working. Employers should be scouring digital communities and new markets for people," says Iyer.
Even if they do make the right kind of hook-up, many tech firms have to slug it out against their more glamorous colleagues for new hires, says Larry Scinto, IT strategy specialist at PA Consulting group.
"The best and brightest are going to the Facebooks and other start-ups where they have a shot at becoming millionaires," Scinto adds. "Going to a traditional tech firm may seem boring and could mean a short career and eventually being outsourced."
It's estimated that by 2018, there will be some 1.4 million tech-related job openings in the U.S., but the country will have only about 400,000 college grads to fill them.
If that equation seems one-sided now, the shortage of high tech workers, for whatever reason, will just keep getting worse, says Alex Camino, vice president of marketing and communications at Softtek, an IT solutions firm.
"Almost every industry is being transformed by technology," Camino says. "Banking is online, smartphones are replacing cameras. Music, publishing are online. Television is high tech. You name it, and IT has to be part of a company's strategy. So when it comes to workers, demand just keeps outpacing supply."

Frequently Asked Questions
Cystic fibrosis is a life-threatening genetic disease that causes mucus to build up and clog some of the organs in the body, particularly the lungs and pancreas. When mucus clogs the lungs, it can make breathing very difficult. The thick mucus also causes bacteria (or germs) to get stuck in the airways, which causes inflammation (or swelling) and infections that lead to lung damage. Mucus also can block the digestive tract and pancreas. The mucus stops digestive enzymes from getting to the intestines. The body needs these enzymes to break down food, which provides important nutrients to help people grow and stay healthy. People with cystic fibrosis often need to replace these enzymes with medicine they take with their meals and snacks, which helps them digest food and get proper nutrition. How do people get cystic fibrosis? Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease. This means that people inherit it from their parents through genes (or DNA), which also determine a lot of other characteristics including height, hair color and eye color. Genes, found in the nucleus of all the body's cells, control cell function by serving as the blueprint for the production of proteins. To have cystic fibrosis, a person must inherit two copies of the defective CF gene — one copy from each parent. If both parents are carriers of the CF gene (i.e., they each have one copy of the defective gene, but do not have the disease themselves), their child will have a 25% chance of inheriting both defective copies and having cystic fibrosis, a 50% chance of inheriting one defective copy and being a carrier, and a 25% chance of not having CF or carrying the gene. Approximately 30,000 children and adults in the United States have cystic fibrosis. An additional ten million more — or about one in every 31 Americans — are carriers of the defective CF gene, but do not have the disease. CF is most common in Caucasians, but it can affect all races. The severity of cystic fibrosis symptoms is different from person to person. The most common symptoms are:
New research shows that the severity of CF symptoms is partly based on the types of CF gene mutations (defects) a person with the disease has. There are more than 1,000 different mutations of the CF gene. Most people are diagnosed with CF at birth through newborn screening, or before the age of 2. A doctor who sees the symptoms of CF will order a sweat test or a genetic test to confirm the diagnosis. A sweat test is the most common test used to diagnose cystic fibrosis and is considered the diagnostic "gold standard." A small electrode is placed on the skin (usually on the arm) to stimulate the sweat glands. Sweat is then collected and the amount of chloride, a component of salt in the sweat, is measured. A high level of chloride means that the person has cystic fibrosis. The best place to receive a reliable sweat test is at a Cystic Fibrosis Foundation-accredited care center. In a genetic test, a blood sample or cells taken from the inside of the cheek are sent to a laboratory that specializes in genetic testing. Most labs only test for the most common mutations of the CF gene. Because there are more than 1,000 mutations that cause CF, screening for all mutations is not possible. A genetic test is often used if the results from a sweat test are unclear. Normally, the healthy CF gene makes a protein — known as CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis conductance Transmembrane Regulator) — that is found in the cells that line various organs, like the lungs and the pancreas. This protein controls the movement of electrically charged particles, like chloride and sodium (components of salt) in and out of these cells. When the protein is defective, as in cystic fibrosis, the salt balance in the body is disturbed. Because there is too little salt and water on the outside of the cells, the thin layer of mucus that helps keep the lungs free of germs becomes very thick and difficult to move. And because it is so hard to cough out, this mucus clogs the airways and leads to infections that damage the lungs. Is there a cure for cystic fibrosis? Currently, there is no cure for cystic fibrosis. However, specialized medical care, aggressive drug treatments and therapies, along with proper CF nutrition, can lengthen and improve the quality of life for those with CF. The best way for people with cystic fibrosis to fight their disease is to work with their medical caregivers at a CF Foundation-accredited care center. The care center partners with people who have CF to help keep them in the best health possible. What is a typical day for someone with CF? Because the severity of CF differs widely from person to person, and CF lung infections flare up from time to time, there is no "typical" day. However, each day most people with CF:
What is the life expectancy for people who have CF (in the United States)? In addition, some adults with cystic fibrosis have only recently begun to use new treatments, while an infant diagnosed at birth will have the advantage of starting specialized treatments that were not available even a decade ago. Data from the CF Foundation Patient Registry, a tool that tracks health statistics from patients treated at CF Foundation-accredited care centers, shows that more than 45 percent of all people with CF in this country are 18 years or older. Also, the Foundation calculates the median predicted age of survival for people with CF. This number is based on a statistical method of using life table analyses developed by insurance companies to calculate trends in survival. In 2009, the median predicted age of survival was in the mid-30s. The median predicted age of survival is the age by which half of the current CF Patient Registry population would be expected to survive, given the ages of the patients in the registry and the distribution of deaths in 2009. The steady rise of the median predicted age of survival suggests how improvements in treatment and care are advancing the lives of those with CF. In 1955, children with CF were not expected to live long enough to attend grade school. Today, thanks to continued Foundation-supported research and specialized care, an increasing number of people with cystic fibrosis are living into adulthood and leading healthier lives that include careers, marriage and families of their own. back to top Since cystic fibrosis affects the lungs of most patients, a large part of the treatment routine is to clear mucus from the airways by using different airway clearance techniques. These techniques use vibrations to help loosen the mucus in the lungs so it can be coughed out. For more information, read Airway Clearance Techniques. There are several medicines that treat lung infections and help people with cystic fibrosis breathe better. They are:
Where can people with CF get the best care? Each center must meet strict guidelines to receive the Foundation's "stamp of approval" every year. Care center staff makes up a whole group of specialists, including doctors, nurses, respiratory and physical therapists, dietitians and social workers. This talented group works with each CF patient to meet that person's specific needs and to keep them as healthy as possible. The latest potential treatments for CF are being tested in clinical trials at many CF Foundation-accredited care centers. Patients can help by volunteering to participate in a clinical trial, which will help the research for a cure. To find a CF care center, call (800) FIGHT CF, or click here. Does a lung transplant cure CF? What about gene therapy? Is it a treatment for people with CF? Researchers need to add enough healthy genes to override the effects of the defective ones. If it is successfully done, gene therapy has the potential of curing cystic fibrosis as it addresses the root cause of the disease (the faulty CF gene) and not merely the symptoms. Scientists are currently exploring the use of gene therapy for many diseases but have had little success. That is because it has been very hard to find a safe and reliable way to deliver healthy genes into the cells and tissues of the body. For this reason, we cannot predict when and if gene therapy will become available as a treatment. Gene therapy, like any other medical research, must be safe and effective before it can be used as a treatment. Research is ongoing in both the clinic and the laboratory. What is a clinical trial? Researchers find volunteers with CF who fit the criteria for the specific clinical trial. Some trials, for instance, may be targeted only at children or only at people with digestive problems. Other trials may only be for people with CF whose lung function is within a certain range. Some clinical trials actually begin with volunteers who are healthy and do not have CF at all. Researchers observe how the drug behaves in the body under highly controlled and monitored circumstances, and whether the treatment is helpful to people with CF. With more than 25 drugs in clinical trials and several in the laboratory, more people with CF are needed to join clinical trials. The best way to make sure CF drug research continues is for people with CF is to contact a CF care center and join a clinical trial. back to top In 2008, the CF Foundation launched the Cystic Fibrosis Patient Assistance Program (CFPAF) as a nonprofit subsidiary. The CFPAF helps people with CF (who qualify) who need FDA-approved medication or paired drug-delivery devices for the nebulized treatment of CF-related pulmonary disease, or an FDA-approved medication for the treatment of pancreatic insufficiency related to CF. Case managers at the CFPAF help people with CF with ways to reduce out-of-pocket costs for CF drugs. All funds distributed by the CFPAF are provided by grants from drug manufacturers. Visit http://www.cfpaf.org or call (888) 315-4154. CF drug companies often offer a range of patient assistance programs — from giving out samples of new CF products, to providing free nutritional supplements, to accepting voucher payments for CF drugs. Find out more information in the Foundation's archived Web cast entitled, " Patient Advocacy: Issues and Answers for CF." When will there be a cure for cystic fibrosis? The "aging" of the cystic fibrosis community is largely due to the increase in innovative new treatments and specialized medical care. But a better quality of life and partially increased length of life are simply not enough. That is why the Foundation is working tirelessly to expand and strengthen its drug development pipeline in hopes of finding life-saving new therapies while, at the same time, supporting a vital care center network. An ongoing challenge is finding enough CF patients to join clinical trials to keep the research moving forward. Without patient volunteers, research and progress are not possible. back to top You can help advance CF research in several ways:

Dispelling Myths of the Right
David Maraniss wrote a book about President Obama called Barack Obama: The Story. I haven't read it yet, but I did see Maraniss on several shows discussing the book and it has caused a stir on both the left and the right. I've always thought he was a straight shooter and about as objective as any writer of politics can be.
I think a lot of the negative reaction from the left towards his book was because of the way the crazy right was spinning it, which has become the norm for the right these days. They take one little kernel of information (or plucked sentence) and manufacture a massive lie, complete with conspiracies and dire implications and then push it out into the public sphere through surrogates, including "respected" Senators, Representatives, Governors, pundits, bloggers and radio blowhards. And of course, network and cable talking heads then dutifully pick it up and further pound it into the public consciousness. A perfect example of this was seen when Donald Trump, or as I called him at the time, "Balloon Boy", was appearing on the half hour at MSNBC to blow his birth certificate dog whistle.
David Maraniss wrote an opinion piece for the Washington Post that is worth a read. It disproves some of the craziness floating around in right wing circles with actual facts, history and truth…what a concept. Here is a snippet…
Not all of them are "birthers," but the notion that the president was not born in the United States remains at the epicenter of the anti-Obama mythology. Here is the conspiracy that would have had to exist if Barack Hussein Obama II were not born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on Aug. 4, 1961:
First, the local newspapers would have had to have been in on the scheme, because they ran notices of his birth among all the other local births that week. Second, the Immigration and Naturalization Service would have had to have been covering something up, because INS officials were closely tracking Barack Obama Sr. when he was at the University of Hawaii on a student visa from Kenya. They thought that he was a bigamist — which he was, having married a woman in Kenya before coming to the States — and a womanizer, which he also was. INS documents in the weeks and months before and after the son's birth clearly establish the father's whereabouts and the birth of his son. Finally, the name of Obama's mother, Stanley Ann, was unusual enough that doctors and nurses in Honolulu remembered it and her giving birth. One prominent doctor was asked by a young journalist if anything interesting had happened in the medical world that week, and he responded, "Well, Stanley had a baby!"
What concerns me is that many people – way too many people – when presented with these facts, still refuse to believe that he was born in Hawaii. Whether it's because of racism, partisanship, stupidity, paranoid schizophrenia or the constant brainwashing by the above mentioned surrogates, it has gotten out of control. When the Speaker of the House of Representatives, who is a couple of heartbeats away from the presidency, panders to those who believe them, it proves that the the Grand Old Party ain't so grand anymore.

Who The Hell Am I!
I'm a liberal that is extreme in some ways and not in others. I support President Obama and make no apologies for it. I think he has done a phenomenal job, especially when you consider that he inherited a huge mess and has faced unprecedented opposition from a lazy & desperate Republican Party. I'm a film producer/director/editor, adjunct professor, technician, media critic and photographer when I'm not reading left wing blogs and typing on this one. – On Twitter @ExtremeLiberal or Email at liberalforreal (at) gmail.com

Rahm Emanuel was born on November 29, 1959 in Chicago, Illinois. He worked on the Chicago congressional campaign for David Robinson, earning a reputation for tenacious fundraising, and went on to hold several more political positions, including U.S. representative and White House chief of staff (for President Barack Obama). In 2011, Emanuel was elected mayor of Chicago, succeeding Richard Daley.
"You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."
Early Life
Rahm Israel Emanuel was born on November 29, 1959 in Chicago, Illinois, to an Israeli pediatrician, Benjamin Emanuel, and a Jewish-American x-ray technician, Martha Smulevitz. In his youth, Benjamin passed codes for Irgun, a militant Zionist group that sought Israeli independence. Martha was active in the Civil Rights Movement, and briefly owned a Chicago rock 'n' roll club. The family took the Emanuel surname in 1933 as a tribute to uncle Emanuel Auerbach, who was slain in a skirmish with Arabs in Jerusalem.
Rahm Emanuel was the second of four siblings. His older brother, Ezekiel, is now an oncologist and nationally renowned medical ethicist at Harvard. His younger brother, Ariel, is a Hollywood television agent and the basis for the character of Ari Gold on HBO's hit television series Entourage. Emanuel is said to be the inspiration for the character Josh Lyman on TV's The West Wing. His younger sister, Shoshana, was adopted after a doctor's visit to Emanuel's father revealed that she had suffered a brain hemorrhage at birth.
As a child, Emanuel and his siblings took regular field trips to art museums and civil rights rallies. According to his mother, the children were expected to not only help prepare dinner, but be well-versed in the daily news as well. They were often quizzed in current events over family meals. The boys also took ballet lessons at their mother's urging. Rahm particularly excelled at dance and, while attending New Trier West High School, earned a scholarship to Joffrey Ballet, Chicago's Premiere Ballet Company.
Interest in Politics
Emanuel turned down the opportunity to instead attend Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York, a school with a solid dance program. In 1980, while still a student at Sarah Lawrence, he worked on the Chicago congressional campaign for David Robinson. "Someone would contribute $500. He'd call back and say, 'Thank you very much ... we need $1,000,'" former Democratic National Committee Chairman David Wilhelm once recalled of Emanuel. This reputation as a tenacious fundraiser would follow Emanuel throughout his career.
After Emanuel graduated with a bachelor's degree in 1981, he attended Northwestern University in Chicago. During his studies there, he also worked in local and national politics, including a stint working on Democrat Paul Simon's 1984 election campaign for U.S. Senate. In 1985, Emanuel received a master's degree in speech and communication from Northwestern. His first post-graduation job was with the consumer rights organization Illinois Public Action.

Right Back At 'Cha
Kind of glad we don't get a glimpse of the front…
Right Back At 'Cha, -
y would you sit around browsing this site with your 6 yr old? And why are you already teaching him that if people don't conform to America's obsessive drive to be thin and hot, then they are "EEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWW." I am so glad my babies aren't judgemental like that. As a parent, it is our JOB to reinforce and model empathy so that it becomes part of who our children ARE.AS for the rest of you? Get some fucking zen in your life and grow a set of ovaries to back up all that shit you been talkin
As a big girl myself, I would NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS walk around my house like this, let alone go outside. People know what size you are by looking at you…you don't need to show your fat rolls to look smaller, because honey, it doesn't work! Cover it up! Instead of "Less is more" "MORE IS LESS" in this instance.

FCC Adopts First Open Internet Regulations
The Federal Communications Commission voted along strict party lines Tuesday to adopt regulations on Internet access.
The meeting was characterized by cordial delivery of scathing dissents by the Republicans and a less-than enthusiastic concurrence by swing vote Democratic commissioner Michael Copps, who said he had seriously considered dissenting before concluding it was at least a first step in the right direction. Republican commissioners said the order would be overturned by the courts, as the FCC's BitTorrent ruling had been.
The rules prevent Internet service providers from discriminating against content and applications, subject to reasonable network management, and will enforce that on a case-by-case basis with what FCC officials have said will be a fast-track complaint process. Providers must tell consumers how they are managing their networks.
They are billed by the FCC majority as a way to provide increased certainty to broadband users that networks will not be able to interfere with their traffic. The commission is basing their legal authority on various Congressional directives to deploy broadband and insure competition, including with the broadcasters and other competitors, whose online content delivery could potentially be discriminated against.
FCC chairman Julius Genachowski called them first-time Internet rules of the road and a "strong and balanced order," arguing that the rules will spur innovation and investment. The Republicans counter that those first-time rules will impede both. Genachowski said the order does not approve paid prioritization, but in fact presumes it is not acceptable.
Genachowski called the vote a choice between two unacceptable extremes. "We are told by some not to try to fix what isn't broken, and that rules of the road protecting Internet freedom would discourage innovation and investment," he said. "But countless innovators and investors say just the opposite, including many who generally oppose government action. Over the course of this proceeding, we have heard from so many entrepreneurs, engineers, venture capitalists and others working daily to maintain U.S. leadership in innovation. Their message has been clear: the next decade of innovation in this sector is at risk without sensible rules of the road.
He said the vote was neither "fake net neutrality," or a government takeover of the sector, as those two extreme positions. "At the same time, while acting to preserve Internet freedom and openness, government must not overreach by imposing rules that are overly restrictive or that pretend to knowledge about this dynamic and rapidly changing marketplace that we simply do not possess."
The chairman said the vote delivered on a number of promises, including to the next dorm room entrepreneur. Commission Republicans countered that it was fulfilling a campaign promise at the expense of Internet investment, innovation, court precedent and the evidence in the public record.
Senior Republican Robert McDowell called it a radical step and one of the darkest days in the FCC's recent history. He called the decision arbitrary and capricious and said it was destined to be overturned by the courts, providing none of the regulatory certainty the FCC was seeking.
McDowell said his dissent was based on his conclusion that: 1) nothing was broken that needed fixing; 2) the FCC does not have the authority to impose the rules; 3) they are likely to cause irreparable harm; and 4) existing laws provide ample consumer protections.
Baker maintained there was not a problem that needed fixing and that "[g]iven the nonexistent factual record of consumer harm, the majority is left to grandiose declarations ...to mask the clear deficiencies in its analysis."
She suggested it was regulatory overreach that even the FCC majority itself had signaled as much in the order. "When the Federal Communications Commission feels compelled to explicitly 'decline to apply our rules directly to coffee shops, bookstores, [and] airlines," she said, "it illustrates the broad scope of these rules, and the lack of any ascertainable outer limits to our claimed authority."
McDowell and Baker both said the FCC's legal underpinnings were faulty, with the latter calling it an "everything, but the kitchen sink" approach that tried to compensate with quantity, what it lacked in quality. Both said the order put no limits on the FCC's authority. Both also said the commission was acting as a legislator, not regulator. The order stems from a failed legislative attempt at compromise network neutrality regulations.
Copps said he had pushed as hard as he could for the Title II reclassification approach Genachowski initially proposed, and thought seriously about dissenting, which would have defeated the rules, but said: "[I]t became ever more clear to me that without some action today, the wheels of network neutrality would grind to a screeching halt for at least the next two years." He also noted that the title II reclassification docket remains open.
Senior FCC officials have said that they are not using Title II to support the rules, but have not ruled out that as a fallback position if this approach runs into legal troubles, as did the FCC's previous effort to support its broadband authority in the BitTorrent case.
The original draft was changed during edits among the Democrats to address some of Copps's concerns, but left some of those concerns intact. "I would have preferred a general ban to discourage broadband providers from engaging in "pay for priority"-prioritizing the traffic of those with deep pockets while consigning the rest of us to a slower, second-class Internet," he said.
nondiscrimination rule, keeping "reasonable network management" within bounds, and the substitution of monitoring for the certainty of enforcement in too many areas."
Citing Shakespeare, McDowell said past is prologue, and that the court decision in BitTorrent was the prologue to this attempt to circumvent the will of Congress by exceeding the FCC's its legal authority. "We cannot make laws, he said. he said the majority was ignoring calls from the Hill and appearing to be a "regulatory vigilante."
He said the FCC was on a collision course with the courts, and complained that the commission had dumped 3,000 pages into the docket only days before the public comment period ended, all in a "misguided" attempt to deliver on President Barack Obama's campaign promise. He also pointed out that his staff was still vetting the order since they did not see it until almost midnight the night before the vote.
Not only was Dec. 21 the darkest day of the year (the winter solstice), but one of the darkest days in recent FCC history, McDowell said.
Baker said that not getting the order until 11:30 p.m. was "inexcusable," and told the chairman he had not lived up to his transparency pledge.
The chairman said those criticisms had been "trotted out" before, and said he, would instead deal with fact, not fiction. To the suggestion nothing was wrong, he said that the lack of basic rules of the road was hampering innovation and growth, a point made to him by top technology CEOs. He said tech leaders recognize, as he does, investment in infrastructure. He said they had pointed out that networks will have incentive to deviate from open practices.
Genachowski pointed to the potentially irreversible nature of some practices as supporting the rule of the FCC as the cop on the Internet beat. He said the rules had a "strong and sound" legal footing.

NEW: SilverStripe Job Board
29 November 2009 at 10:05pm
Hey All,
I've noticed a few people posting jobs on the forum I thought it would be more useful if there was a dedicated SilverStripe Job Board so I had a bit of a play and launched this http://jobs.silverstripehq.com/.
As a note this is *not* affiliated with SilverStripe Ltd but its a little side project of mine that's hopefully going to be useful for people looking for developers and even developers looking for work!. So your logins from the forum / wiki will not work over there.
Would love to hear your feedback and if you think it will be useful!. The code powering the job board will be released as a jobboard module accordingly as well
Re: NEW: SilverStripe Job Board
30 November 2009 at 6:30am Last edited: 30 November 2009 6:33am
Very good idea and very nice work.
Do you have a testing / sandbox area (subdomain) for your jobs posting mod / site? How does your module look with thousands of job postings? I am curious to see how it would all look, full-blown.
Re: NEW: SilverStripe Job Board
30 November 2009 at 8:57am
Hey Yakiv, no live testing / sandbox currently. The functionality for the job board is still lacking for one of that scale - it currently has no searching ability, no filtering by type etc which would make having more then 10 jobs at a time a bit of a pain. I'll add searching / filtering when it becomes an issue!.
Re: NEW: SilverStripe Job Board
25 January 2010 at 9:54pm
Hi Will,
just stepped by to see the Jobboard. Nice. Only missing the date of each post. I think it would be good to see the age of the posts.
Anyway, hope it will be used frequently...mathiasmex

Thanks mathiasmex,
I'll add space for that information when I next update the site.
EDIT: @mathiasmex Site updated. Now includes the age of the listing.
Re: NEW: SilverStripe Job Board
10 February 2011 at 4:11am
Willr, any change that the Job Board will make it into a module anytime soon. It's exactly what I need...
Re: NEW: SilverStripe Job Board
10 February 2011 at 8:38pm
klikhier - send me an email: firstname.lastname@example.com with your email address and I'll send through the code as it is. The site's been a little neglected so happy to share the code!

The term "Cloud computing" is generally used to refer to applications that take advantage of the capabilities of the Internet, distributed computing, and huge (practically unlimited) amounts of online storage and computing power to perform functions that have traditionally been done by installable desktop applications. Instead of license fees, cloud-based applications are usually paid for with a subscription or per-use fee. This pricing model gives users the flexibility to purchase as much or as little of the service as they need.
In the not-too-distant past, most computer applications were "native" apps that required you to install software on a desktop or laptop computer and to be at your computer to use them. To share data between computers, you needed to burn CDs or specifically save files to a shared drive or file server. To run the same application on two computers, you had to buy two licenses and install the application on each computer. Performing backups, software updates, and hardware maintenance was up to you. Worst of all, you paid for a full software license even if you only used the application occasionally.
All of this is changing as cloud computing is taking hold. Just about every type of common business software is now available as a cloud-based service. With the recent explosions in smart phone and tablet usage and capabilities, mobile apps are also starting to shift away from the native and installable model of software distribution. In the future, most computing will be done "in the cloud."
Some examples of cloud computing applications include: email clients, cloud-based storage and backup, office applications (such as spreadsheets and word processors), sophisticated database management systems, and even photo and video editing.
Cloud computing also enables integration of your data between applications in ways that were previously impossible.
In future posts, we'll talk about some of the capabilities, especially with regard to data integration, that are made possible by cloud computing. We'll also give you concrete examples of how you can take advantage of "the cloud" right now to cut costs, improve efficiency, and make your operation work better.

King Barry is trying to squeeze out the most pain for the Republicans out of the latest crisis by even having Cabinet members out threatening to shut down essential services. Almost milked this one to the max - now on to the next manufactured crisis late in March. No time to "govern" but these crises require more vacation time and more campaign styles rallies. Nikki Haley said it best though "...my kids could find enough cuts in this budget..." But don´t forget - he has not handed us a budget yet - late again - and probably won´t.

I for one wish the sequester would happen. The market is oversold and needs to correct.

Here´s an eye/opener...Think about saving 2 cents on a dollar.

And, #4, it´s not about cutting 2 cents on the dollar, it´s about not increasing spending by yet another dollar, but rather only 98 cents. Actually cutting spending has nothing to do with it. Washington is totally out of touch with reality. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
The Republican message should be aggressive, loud and clear.1. The sequester was Obama´s idea.2. Obama will be the one who decides what is cut.3. Obama will see to it that his own salary isn´t touched.A Lo-Fo message that even Joy Behar can understand. This is about 2014 and these will be campaign issues we can use when Obama obfuscates.

What most lo-fo votes don´t know is that in Washingtonspeak, budget cuts are NOT cuts at all. It´s a reduction of proposed spending INCREASES. And that is because of this "base line budgeting". And that is the amount each federal program is to be icreased each year. It´s not based on what was spent last year, but what is thought to be "needed" the next year. As I understand it, this came into being sometime in the 1970´s. There should someone in Congress bring this up and make a concerted effort to get rid of the kind of madness. I ask you. Do you approach your personal budget in that manner? I shure as he$$ don´t! Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
To paraphrase Nancy Pelosi, we need to let the Sequester happen to find out what's in it, away from the fog of controversy.When you consider that this is not a real reduction in spend, but only a slightly lower increase in spending, it should be a non-event. However, trust the President to do everything possible to maximize the pain. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
Bingo. Let the sequestration begin. Boehner, McCain, and Graham: stay out of the way.The proper GOP response is to attack the Emperor´s (mis)management of the situation.

I wish some pundit would add up all the BO predictions on what will happen (furlows cuts to schools, cuts to roads etc) and see if this equals the amount of the sequesters cuts? If we had these programs now and we are just cutting increases how do all thes programs (air traffic, boder agents, FBI etc) dissappear? Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.

The entire Washington mess is Diane Sawyer's fault (yeah, include your favorite TV liars, too). Analyze the Alcoholics Anonymous way: there's the addict, there's the enabler. All Washington greed addicted in denial of their rotten addiction. All lamestream media the enabler, protecting the addict, led by spousal, lovely Diane, ideal enabler who protects addicts exposure to the world. Millions plead with addicts to quit their addiction. Nothing. No way Zero. Here´s the plan: go to the enabler and have intervention.They are either less addicted or just plain communist. All America´s complaints go to the Sawyers, Pelleys, Williams, Goldbergs, Lettermans, all TV, press personalities covering up for this fiscal disaster. No more time wasting confronting Congressional Constitution blasting, addicts. The whole enabler attack is to focus daily on the charade of dishonest, media leaders allowing this fiscal robbery to take place. Citizens, stop protesting Obama or Congress. Go direct to the Dianes at work, picket their magnificent New York co-ops, their country hideaways, favorite bars, restaurants, limo drivers, plague them to tell the truth. Breitbart will lead with Breitbartian inspired cameras everywhere ! 24/7 Expose these lying enablers on Breitbart, other blogs, You Tube.

I purchased this as a new baby gift filled with special items on the seat for the new baby. It is small, but suitable for a three or four year old. My granddaughter is a tall three and she sat in it perfectly. It is brightly colored, well constructed, and absolutely darling!! Love it!!

We were very impressed when we took each chair part out of the box. The parts are so solid, the paint done so well. There is nothing flimsy about this childs chair. I can't wait for him to open it on Christmas.

I bought this chair for my great-grandson for his 1st. brithday. It is fabulous. So colorful and cheery. The 4x6 photo frame holder looks so cute with his photo in it. He loves rocking and sitting in it. It is the perfect size, not only can he sit and rock in it. He is able to push it around the living room. Being a beginning walker he finds this great fun. I would recommend to anyone looking for a great toddler gift. The poem on the seat bottom makes this an heirloom for generations to come. Thank you.
