Well... You certainly answered my question! It most definitely appears that the American populous at large will be forced to vote, once again, for the lesser of two evils... Such a shame...January 31, 2008 at 9:25 a.m.
When did the Presidency of this great nation become all about power, control, and attempts at world domination? Personally, I would love to see a candidate with nothing to gain and nothing to lose run for office. Someone who doesn't care about the power or the prestige, but who is genuinely honest, loyal, and good. Someone who wants to give back to this country in humble thanks for all that this country has given him or her. I know I am being far too idealistic and, perhaps, naive and that a candidate such as this only exists in the dreams of an innocent child. I really do believe, however, that our founding fathers are watching over us with their heads hung down in shame over what we have allowed this country to become: a playground for power hungry idiots and evil geniuses who are only looking out for number one because they are certainly NOT looking out for me, the single-mother of three working two jobs just to survive
Thanks for allowing me to get on my soapbox for a bit... I appreciate the opportunity to speak to what is in my heart to someone who might be able to respect and understand where I am coming from... You guys are awesome like that!

A man who suffered severe brain damage after being given the MMR vaccine as a baby has been awarded £90,000 in a landmark ruling expected to pave the way for thousands of similar compensation claims.
Robert Fletcher, 18, was a healthy 13-month-old baby when he was given the combined measles, mumps and rubella vaccine. He now suffers from frequent epileptic fits, is doubly incontinent and is unable to stand, talk or feed himself.
Obviously this is tragic for Mr Fletcher and his family but…
The Department of Health denied any link between his disabilities and the controversial jab, but a medical assessment panel ruled last week that Mr Fletcher became severely disabled as a direct result of the MMR.
That is a hell of claim. My understanding is that no serious study has shown MMR to be dangerous. I am now thinking of Arthur Eddington, the great astrophysicist. He had a dictum that one should never believe experimental results until they are backed by theory. He was right. Unless you have a physically viable mechanism you are merely correlating and correlation is not causation.
It is thought to be the first compensation award in an MMR case since the vaccine became a focus for controversy in 1998, when the now discredited Dr Andrew Wakefield claimed it could be linked to autism.
To call Wakefield "discredited" is somewhat of an understatement and to suggest that Mr Fletcher's problems have anything to do with autism are totally irrelevant so what the now ex-Dr Wakefield's work has to do with this is beyond me.
Medical legal experts said last night that the ruling could open the floodgates to thousands of similar claims by families who believe their children have been adversely affected by the jab.
The vultures are circling…
Dr Robin Moffat, president of the Medico-Legal Society, said: "I would have thought there will be a surge of actions as a result of this".
"Today, everyone is money-conscious, and if a doctor makes a mistake they are all looking for compensation, and many of them get it."
The vultures have landed…
Dr Malcolm VandenBurg, a medical legal expert, said: "One case like this makes other people think that they will be able to get a similar ruling. In the past, when there has been a first ruling of this kind, it has opened the door to others."
… and are feeding.
Nadine Dorries, a Conservative MP who sits on the Commons Health Committee, said: "If an independent panel has reached the conclusion that there has been a link between the MMR vaccine and the brain damage suffered by this boy in this case, then it is fair to assume that there could be as many as thousands of children and parents in the same position."
Enter stage left "Mad" Nad just to put the cherry on the top.
Mr Fletcher, from Warrington, Cheshire, requires round-the-clock care from his parents, who have been battling for compensation for 13 years.
His mother, Jackie, dismissed the £90,000 award as "derisory", but said she was pleased to have been vindicated.
Mrs Fletcher set up and runs the pressure group JABS which is helping around 2,000 families who claim their children were harmed by the MMR with their struggles to win compensation.
Her first application for compensation under the Government's Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme was rejected in 1997 on the grounds that it was impossible to prove what had caused Robert's illness.
"Round the clock care" and 90 grand. That's a pay-off. That in no way represents the cost of this man's care. I shall not even dignify the "vindicated" here because there is too much of the scientist to me.
But her appeal was upheld last week. In a six-page judgement, the medical assessment panel wrote: "Robert was a more or less fit boy who, within the period usually considered relevant to immunisation, developed a severe convulsion… and he then went on to be epileptic and severely retarded.
"The seizure occurred ten days after the vaccination. In our view, this cannot be put down to coincidence."
If not coincidence (and such things do happen) then what? Have we a mechanism here?
If not then the best bet is that it is coincidence. I hope to Hell this doesn't re-ignite the whole MMR debate which should have been put out to grass years ago.
Put it this way. If I had kids I'd have them have the MMR vaccination. That. Simple.

RequireJS 2.1.14 is available.
A couple more regression fixes for 2.1.12. One to fix nested plugin ID normalization, like "pluginA!pluginbB!resource", and one for the optimizer incorrectly detecting UMD wrapped code.
RequireJS 2.1.13 is available.
Version 2.1.12 regressed around ID normalization. 2.1.13 fixes that regression. It is recommended that you do not use 2.1.12, but use 2.1.13 instead.
RequireJS 2.1.12 is available.
Just a bug fix/maintenance release. Full list of changes:
RequireJS 2.1.11 is available.
Some bug fixes, with the most notable addition is an optimizer option,
wrapShim. This will wrap shimmed dependencies in a define() call so that they work better after a build when their upstream dependencies are also AMD modules with dependencies.
The most notable case is probably when using an AMD-aware version of Backbone, but using shim config for scripts that depend on Backbone. If this is your use case, then setting
wrapShim: true in the optimizer config will likely fix any post-build problem you might see. More details in the bug ticket.
Full list of changes:
RequireJS 2.1.10 is available.
Mainly a maintenance release, and improves some cases when reusing code that was installed via npm. There are two new config options for the loader too:
example.js and
example interchangeably. Setting this config option to true will accommodate that style. almond 0.2.9+ also supports this option.
And for the optimizer, the mainConfigFile option can now take an array of file paths that have configs in them. Later values take precedent over earlier values.

My parents retired & moved from Queensland fairly recently. So with that in mind, they're currently into money saving 'bargains' and ways to learn more about our fair city – Miss Melbourne! So we agreed to join them for a fun night out courtesy of their Groupon voucher they purchased for $75 for a 9 Course Korean Banquet for Four valued at $236.
This is what we were served…
Appetiser platter to share (x2)
Shared Entrees
The BBQ meats followed:
There was also a soup..
For dessert, the four of us were able to choose from two desserts to share. The menu consisted of:
- Orange Panna Cotta
- Passion Fruits Mousse
- Raspberry cheesecake - their 'signature dish' but out of stock this evening
- Chocolate Mud cups
- Green Tea Ice Cream
- Black Sesame Ice Cream
- Cafe di Brazil
- Vanilla Ice Cream
- Very Raspberry Sorbet.
We were instructed to order our desserts at the start of the evening…
All in all, an enjoyable evening with the old folks, hubby and lil' E. The company was awesome, the food as expected, but the 'real' price of $236 being really quite alarming. If you're keen to spend that much, we recommend trying out Hwaro on Little Bourke Street down near King Street. They have attentive staff, marinade all of their meats and you don't smell any (street) sewerage from any of their seats.

After reading all the good reviews about this product I decided to give it a go. The sales assistant recommended shade Nude, which did look a good match for my skin tone. Whe I first tried it alone, it didn't moisturise my dry skin at all, so I had to apply it over my usual moisturiser (which defeats the object really). Using it this way, it gave my skin a soft dewy look and was a great colour match at first. However, it soon oxidised and the colour changed and didn't match my skin tone at all. I took it back and the sales assistant reluctantly swapped it for the Porcelain shade which is a little on the light side but a fairly good match. I wouldn't recommend this as a use alone product for anyone with dry skin, I found it to be more of a light/medium coverage foundation. The packaging is also quite messy, you tend to find more cream in the lid than in the tube!

Just to give you some background about my skin type - I have normal-combination skin, with an oily t-zone (forehead & nose) with occasionally some dry spots on my cheeks, with occasional breakouts (nothing major). I have a love/hate relationship with the product. I used Bisque in the normal line (light pink bottle). It made me breakout so maybe if I used the oil-free line that would have been better. LM has a great selection of colours and bisque matched perfectly to my skin. I was looking for more coverage and I found that this TM is build-able and easy for everyday wear.

At first, I was like "what the hype is all about ?" But then I found that this is what I keep reaching for, I have a very dry skin that alot of times I cannot use any foundation, I repurchased this several times, the coverage is better than any drugstore tinted moisturizer but still not a foundation, i think the smashbox BB cream has more coverage but is heavier than this TM, so this is my go to product in winter

Do not buy this unless you have skin drier than the sahara desert!
On my quest to find the perfect tinted moisturser I visited the laura mercier counter and parted with £33 for the pleasure of making my face look like I had smeared it with chip fat.
I have skin that can get oily quickly but if I use products designed for oily skin it gets really dry and tight. I also suffer breakouts of cystic acne around my jawline which I believe to be hormonal rather than product related. Im around nc20 colour wise.
The lady on the counter assured me if I used this with the matching primer I would not get oily and the make up would last all day. None of the shades looked particularly yellow toned to me (I hate pink toned make up on my skin it doesnt match at all) but again I was assured that 'nude' would be perfect for me. To be fair the shade wasnt bad, more pink and pale than I would have liked but I persisted with it and I had heard such good things about the product.
I didnt use any moisturiser before using the product, then applied primer and this on top followed by powder and bronzer. Literally 5 minutes later my face looked greasy, the product was bunching in facial lines and by the end of a shift at work I had no make up left! Plus to top it off I started breaking out in places of my face where I never get spots such as my forehead and cheeks! I kept using it for a few days as I had paid so much money for it but I looked so awful I had to stop.
I ended up giving this to a friend who has very dry skin and she seems to quite like it.

I got a generous sample of this, and used it for a week or so. I liked it, but it caused me to break out. On the upside, the coverage was better than most tinted moisturizers I've tried, and it left my skin feeling nice.

I've been using this for several months. I prefer a light coverage and this is exactly what that does. I either use my fingers to apply or RT expert face brush. I sometimes put an extra layer on red areas for more coverage. This doesn't cake. It evens my skin out. I still need to spot conceal tho. There are some other brands (Nars, Sonia Kashuk) that I'd like to try but until then -- this is perfect for me. I use Nude and it is perfect for my light complexion.

I got a free sample mini-tube, and I honestly don't understand the point of this product. It is not very pigmented, so you wouldn't use it as a foundation. I suppose it may even out skin tone a bit, and it gives a decent dewy finish for a while, but coverage isn't heavy enough to hide any redness or under-eye shadows. At the same time, if it's only a facial moisturiser with SPF 20 sunscreen, then you can get products just as good or better for a tiny fraction of the price at the supermarket! Also, it smells absolutely terrible, like cheap sunscreen and chemicals. I don't understand how they can justify putting a massive pricetag on a nasty-smelling plain old moisturiser that doesn't really do anything special.

This tinted mosturizer feels very light and it has a really light weight coverage. Its good for those people who doesnt have many blemishes which need to be covered. it doesnt stay for a long time and need to be re applied after around 3 hours. its a great tinted mosturizer overall tho

I am a NC30 with dry/combo skin. The colour sand is perfect for me. Overall this is a very lightweight tinted moisturiser that I believe would be great for those with oily or combination skin like me.
The price is a little high in my opinion for something so lightweight, meaning the coverage is very minimal. I believe this is best for those who want an extreme natural look and already have pretty good skin. I have decent skin but felt this did not really make a difference except slightly evening my skintone out. It definitely does not cover blemishes and is not buildable. At $43, I'm a little torn at whether or not it is worth it because I like how it does not make me oily after a long day AND works amazing with my skin, but the coverage is too little (I prefer light to medium coverage).
- Did not break me out... I have sensitive skin
- Did not make me oily after 8+ hours of wear
- My face looked more radiant after putting it on
- SPF included
- Did not emphasise my dry patches but also did not make me super oily... this is quite perfect in terms of staying power, oil control, etc.
- Loose powder helps it stay, but I find I do not need it and do not need touch ups throughout my 8-hour workdays! Amazing.
- The price
- Coverage is TOO light... made for someone with already great skin
- Not buildable
In the end, I suppose if I can't find another TM with SPF in it, I will be repurchasing it. For now I will be on a hunt for a slightly heavier coverage that reacts the same to my face in terms of oil control and staying power.

This product is overpriced. It is okay and nothing more. It gives a very sheer look which I can appreciate but it feels cheap and I don't like that it contains parabens. It also makes my pores look a lot bigger, which I then have to correct. That's not good of course. Also no coverage at all unless you put a lot of layers on. I expected light coverage. This tm only illuminates really.
I regret paying this much and will only use it as a highlighter.
If I tested this blind I would probably guess this to be a very cheap BB cream. It reminds me of that horrible BB cream from Garnier.

Content Guidelines
Restaurant & Product Review Guidelines
Stuffed Pepper welcomes submissions from anyone, but your recipes must meet certain criteria to be accepted. Outlined below are our basic guidelines for submitting recipes to Stuffed Pepper.
1) Your recipe must be gluten-free. Duh! But seriously, there are many chefs who create gluten-free recipes who are not strictly gluten-free themselves. We don't have a problem with this, but Stuffed Pepper is strictly gluten-free, so all recipes submitted must be gluten-free.
2) Please, no oats. While the FDA has ruled that oats are considered gluten-free, we don't believe it. We know many people who react to oats, even the certified gluten-free kind.
3) In addition to gluten-free, we prefer soy-free. You can use fermented soy-sauce, but it should be easily replaceable with soy-sauce alternatives (e.g. coconut aminos). Please no raw soy protein, soy flour, soybean oil, etc.
4) Everyone likes a sweet treat, now again. But we prefer, low-sugar, or sugar alternatives (e.g. honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, agave).
5) We don't mind a little dairy, but many people on this site are dairy-sensitive. So dairy should be easily replaceable with a substitute, without degrading the integrity of the recipe. Or easily omitted. Goat's cheese and milk may also be considered as alternatives.
6) We want recipes that are grain-free, low-carb and legume-free as well. You will do best if your recipe is naturally gluten-free, and/or paleo.
7) We also love recipes that can help fill out a meal plan. That is, if your recipe is a weeknight favorite in your house, we'd like to make it one in ours, too! Or a breakfast that it is satisfying, nutritious and gets everyone out of the house on time…. please share!
8) We would love your recipe to be accompanied with an appropriate photograph. But we only want photographs that make the food look good. See food photography guidelines below. If you're unsure, you can leave the photograph out.
9) Your recipe should be created or adapted by you. If it was inspired by Bobby Flay or Julia Child, that's ok and you can say so, but don't copy a recipe exactly, without the express permission of the author of the recipe. If you use a recipe from a cookbook or magazine, adapting it to be gluten-free/paleo, please cite the source of the original recipe. A list of ingredients is not copyright-able, only the writing of the recipe itself. So if you are the original author of a recipe with a common list of ingredients, than the copyright belongs to you. For more information on our copyright infringement policy, please click here.
10) Please be sure to add one ingredient per ingredient field. This makes it easier for the recipe to be found when searching the database for specific ingredients.
11) Remember to check off any recipe categories or allergen information related to your recipe, so that users searching the site for specific needs can find your recipe. Also, add any tags that you wish, if you think they are important, for instance "easy" or "raw." Try to stick to 5 or less tags. Readers can search for recipes by ingredient, so you don't need to add that to your tags.
12) Check your work. Please do not submit a recipe with spelling errors, grammar or unclear instructions.
13) By submitting a recipe to this site, you grant us the right to publish it throughout the Stuffed Pepper website and in any other capacity related to Stuffed Pepper. You retain the copyright.
14) We reserve the right to reject a recipe for any reason.
Stuffed Pepper strives to present mouth watering, gluten-free/paleo food images. This is due in part to our talented Star Chefs who are also talented food photographers. This is also due to the belief that if our food doesn't look good, whose going to want to eat it? Follow these basic guidelines for creating food images good enough to eat. Photos must fit minimum criteria in order to be published. Here is a great primer on the importance of food photography with stunning photos, by Jenn Oliver of Jenn Cuisine.
1) Make sure the picture is in focus! If you are working under low-light conditions, please use a tripod to avoid camera shake.
2) Make sure the image is well-lit. If you are working with natural light conditions and there is not adequate light, use a tripod. Please do not use auto flash resulting in front-lighting of the image. Unless you know how to use fill-flash or how to use studio strobes, please stick to natural or available light. Please see Jenn's article for some tips on lighting. Lighting from the side, or from above and behind are your two best options.
3) Make sure the color is correct. Please select the appropriate option for your light conditions (i.e. incandescent for indoor lights, shade for outdoors in the shade, etc.). Sometimes the Auto function can work well for different lighting conditions, but if your food is looking too blue or too yellow, then you need to adjust the settings.
4) "Fill the Frame." A common photography tip, this means to check the entire frame of your image, and remove any distracting elements, either by moving closer to your subject or cropping later. Check every element in the frame and make sure it either adds to the image, or at least does not detract.
5) Strive to stylize. While there are professional food-stylists whose sole business is to style food for photographers, you can do a lot by paying some attention to way the food is presented on the plate. Add a fresh sprig of an herb, clean off a couple of pearl onions, make sure the plate does not have splotches (unless they are done artfully and meant to add to the appeal!), etc.
6) Any photograph you submit must be yours, or you must have the permission of the photographer to use the photograph on this site. For more information on our copyright infringement policy, please click here.
7) Please do not purchase stock photos to "represent" your recipe. Most likely those photos have gluten ingredients, so it would be false advertising.
8) By submitting the photograph to this site, you grant us the rights to publish it throughout the Stuffed Pepper website and in any other capacity related to Stuffed Pepper. You retain the copyright.
9) We reserve the right to reject a photograph for any reason.
Blog Post Submission Guidelines
Stuffed Pepper wants to hear from you! As a community site, we value your opinions on gluten-free and paleo living. Whether you have medical knowledge, coaching experience, can provide inspiration to those just starting, or maybe just feel like going on a rant, you are welcome to submit your post. Just follow these guidelines:
1) While we do accept some work that has been previously published somewhere on the internet, we prefer not to duplicate content too much. Google says that 30% of the internet is duplicated content, and does not consider this a problem unless we are maliciously trying to manipulate search results. Still, to be on the safe side, we would prefer an original piece of work, or one that has been re-written or re-purposed for Stuffed Pepper. If you want to submit a post and would like to discuss content further, please email us through the contact form, and we'll be happy to talk about it with you.
2) Any post you submit must be your original work and must not be copied from another source. You may however quote other sources, provided you give the proper citation. For more information on our copyright infringement policy, please click here.
3) When making medical, nutritional or scientific claims, please back up your statements as much as possible with references.
4) By submitting a post to this site, you grant us the rights to publish it throughout the Stuffed Pepper website and in any other capacity related to Stuffed Pepper. You retain the copyright.
5) Please refrain from using rude, profane or obscene language.
6) We reserve the right to reject a post for any reason.
Restaurant & Product Review Submissions
Want to share an experience with gluten-free/paleo restaurants and products? Sure! We just offer a few guidelines on how to write your reviews.
1) Please only submit new listings for restaurants that have a gluten-free menu, or whose staff are accommodating in serving your gluten-free and food-allergy needs. Please don't list a restaurant to complain that they don't have what we're looking for. We just want to know where we can go to eat. But you are free to write an unfavorable review if a restaurant offers gluten-free options, but they don't taste good, weren't actually gluten-free, made you sick, or anything else you want to express.
2) Please only provide reviews on products that are naturally gluten-free and/or paleo. We aren't interested in highly processed foods, with lots of chemicals, preservatives and food additives, gluten-free or not.
3) We love favorable reviews, because it makes everyone happy. So if you have been pleased with a product or restaurant, please take the time to let others know. When writing a positive review, please be as descriptive as possible about a product's taste, texture, price, etc. When writing a restaurant review, in addition to being as descriptive as possible about the meal itself, please also take a moment to describe the ambiance, clientele, and service of the restaurant.
4) Unfavorable reviews are also important, because gluten-free/paleo food is more expensive than its gluten-containing counterparts, and nobody wants to waste their money on food that just wasn't worth it. When writing a negative review, again, please be as descriptive as possible. Tell us why you didn't like the product, or the restaurant. Please refrain from spiteful, distasteful and/or hurtful language.
5) Even if you had a so-so experience with a gluten-free/paleo product or restaurant, this is still helpful information. One might dine-out at a cheaper "so-so" restaurant over a more expensive "5 star" restaurant, if they know that at least their experience won't be bad.
6) Please do not use rude, profane or obscene language.
8) We reserve the right to reject a review for any reason.
We love gluten-free TV!! Whether you vlog regularly about the gluten-free/paleo lifestyle, or you had an appearance on a show about how to cook gluten-free/paleo, you can embed your YouTube or other video on the Stuffed Pepper site. Please follow these guidelines when submitting, or embedding a video.
1) Your video should have some informative or entertaining value related to the gluten-free/paleo diet and lifestyle. Examples include an honest review of a product, or a cooking tip.
2) Please no commercials. If you would like to promote your gluten-free/paleo product or restaurant, please contact us for more information on how to do that.
3) Videos should not be blurry, and the sound should be audible.
4) Please try to keep the video around 5 to 8 minutes or even less.
5) Please pay some attention to the way you look.

British witness: Boston is 'such a soft target'
Runner Darren Foy, 40, from Southampton and his wife Sandra and their two children missed the explosions by just 30 minutes after he finished the marathon in three and half hours.
Speaking from the city, the chartered surveyor said:
We were on our way home when we heard something had happened and I was getting messages like 'are you Ok?' which I never get. It's all quite shocking really.
We got home and we looked at the BBC online and saw there had been explosions but we are OK because I finished in three and a half hours and we were on the bus when it happened.
We are staying five miles outside and I'm not intending to go back into the city for a few days.
It's such a soft target. There are hundreds of thousands spectators on the streets and 27,000 runners, so we got off lightly.

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - Check out this picture sent in by one of our viewers taken over Mooresville Sunday morning. What you're looking at is called a Sundog. These Sundogs, also called mock suns or parhelia, appear as a colored patch of light to the left or right of the sun. They always appear at the same elevation as the sun, and can be reminiscent of a oval, compact rainbow, with the red color nearest to the sun.Sundogs form when light is refracted at a 22° angle off of plate-shaped hexagonal ice crystals in high level cirrus clouds. Clouds made of liquid water will not produce this effect. You're most likely to see one when the sun is low. As the sun gets higher in the sky, the rays pass through the ice crystals at a larger angle, and the sundogs move farther from the sun. Sundogs will form if the hexagonal ice crystals are oriented with the flat faces horizontally. If the crystals are skewed, a halo will form around the sun instead.

This post contains minor spoilers.
I already mentioned it briefly in my post about January movies earlier this morning, but I want to show a little more love to "Mama," an uncommonly intelligent and spooky horror film marred only by some occasionally janky creature special effects. It's not just "good by the standards of January movies." It's good by any standard.
Jessica Chastain stars as Annabel, a goth rock band bassist who lives a happily irresponsible life with her artist boyfriend Lucas ("Game of Thrones"' Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). Their lazy bliss is shattered by a shocking discovery: Lucas' two young nieces, who'd gone missing five years earlier when his brother, driven mad by the collapse of his business, killed his wife and kidnapped his kids. After skidding off a mountain road, the father took the girls, Victoria and Lily, to an abandoned cabin in the woods. In despair, he nearly murders his own children when they're saved by... something. Now, after a half-decade search, Victoria and Lilly, ages 8 and 6, are found, living alone in the same cabin like feral savages. Lucas and Annabel get custody of them, which makes their previous protector, a strange spirit the girls call "Mama," a wee bit jealous.
Chastain is outstanding as Annabel, a no-nonsense independent woman with little interest in motherhood (she's introduced celebrating a negative pregnancy test). And she builds an impressively complicated relationship with Victoria and Lilly, who are played by a pair of very talented (and, at times, very creepy) young actresses named Megan Charpentier and Isabelle Nelisse. Co-writer/director Andres Muschietti, expanding his own 2008 short film, plays with all sorts of preconceptions about parenting and motherhood. And he enhances his scares with playful shot selection and dry humor, both of which are exhibited in the terrifying and hilarious scene where Chastain, positioned in extreme background on the left, obliviously does household chores while down the hallway the girls, positioned in the extreme foreground on the right, play with Mama in their bedroom.
"Mama" is scary, but it's got a lot more going for it than just horror. It's funny and perceptive and it's got a shockingly dark ending. Unlike most modern horror movies, which treat its characters like talking cattle waiting for the slaughter, "Mama" is about real people who are just as memorable as the fright scenes or the trick photography. A post by Jed Mayer on Press Play illuminates some of its classical fairy tale constructions, like its use of forests as a place of "danger" and "magic:"
"'Mama' is at its best when it lets the story brood on such elements. The most effective visual effects are those half-seen, barely glimpsed, and shadowy. Mama's presence is signaled by moths, sometimes singly, other times in ominous swarms. She travels by way of mold and mildew, which spreads from dark corners into the center of walls. These dark spots congeal and darken to become wound-like holes from which slimy claws emerge. The domestic becomes wild, and the children are at once the victims and the bearers of this dark forest magic. Their would-be adopted mother jokes at one point that the girls are 'outdoorsy.' Their faces are always dirty, marked by the rot and filth of their earthy mother. Mama is real because she is dirty."
Mayer says "Mama" starts to falter when the character of Mama becomes a more visible component of the onscreen drama. It's true that Mama isn't the most dynamic visual creation (it's also true that her powers are left largely unexplained, and change as is convenient for the plot). On the other hand, there's a certain softness to Mama that I liked -- she raised these children for five years, and her looks are just strange enough to accept that a child would find her beautiful and not upsetting. Plus it's sort of refreshing to find a horror movie where the creature isn't the biggest selling point. "Mama"'s got a lot going for it. You gotta see it.

Arch | January 23, 2013 2:26 PM
Somehow I expected a clearer consensus around this movie. I haven't checked all the reviews but if it's very good for Shock Till you drop (7/10), it's OK for Fangoria (2.5/4) and mediocre for Bloody Disgusting (2.5/5; NB: not a fan of this site). It even has a bad D+ on The Playlist (NB: not from frequent horror reviewer Drew Taylor).
More interesting is the fact that, as it happens every once in a while, it's a movie that seems to draw attention beyond specialized press (it's safe to say that Del Toro's name is a key factor here, maybe even more that Chastain's or it's BO success).
On a side note I do like some of Jed Mayer's essays on Press Play (his last "Raised in fear" was great), and his piece on Mama is interesting sometimes, but I still think it fails to really take into account the evolution of the genre the last decade or so (maybe even it's genesis).

Talk:Runes of Magic Wiki
Front page has been protected.
Any proposed changes can be posted here.
[edit] Wiki Ideas
One of the biggest thing this wiki is missing is an auto complete feature in the search bar that searches for pages. This is an absolute must on this kind of wiki though it may be a limitation of the host idk but it realy needs to be there.
ok after a quite a bit of research (and dling wikimedia) i found the fix! you must add the fallowing to LocalSettings.php
$wgEnableMWSuggest = true;
[edit] Guild section?
Don't we need a general section to Guilds? about how to lvl up guilds how to obtain a guild house. Ditto castle etc.?
I think there should be a guild category. I'd like to see which building needs what to be built...
[edit] Planting
The planting section barely has any information on it at all. I've never edited a wiki article before but I really enjoy planting in Runes of Magic and I've achieved level 25 as of today 9/25/09. I think I know enough about the planting system that I wanted to add to it.
-Belthasar : Reni
[edit] Sets
There should be a section on sets (like the Logar set)--A.J.Tagena 15:42, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
This place seriously needs some work. Many pages have little or no information, some pages are broken and many pages also are displaying news that happened several months ago. --A.J.Tagena 15:48, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
Okay, here's a contribution of mine. I have templates for Zones, Areas, Towns and Landmarks
[edit] Name of Zone
(i.e.: Howling Mountains)
[edit] Towns
Towns in region
(Logar, Reifort Camp etc.)
[edit] Areas
(Parts of a region that are not a town)
Areas in region (Moongorge, Scar of Despair, Barren Caves etc.)
[edit] Landmarks
(Places that are too small to be a region or a town. When its iffy, if there are people such as crafters and an enemy cannot chase you through the area, it's a town. If its just quest givers, it's a landmark)
Landmarks in region (Helen's Farm etc.)
[edit] NPC's
All NPC's not tied to another place, if applicable
[edit] Quests
Any quests, if applicable
[edit] Enemies
Any enemies that are not part of another area, if applicable
[edit] Name of Town
[edit] Services
Services (Armorsmith, Merchant)
[edit] NPC's
All friendly NPC's

[edit] Name of Area
[edit] NPC's
[edit] Quests
[edit] Enemies
[edit] Instances
[edit] Name of Landmark
[edit] NPC's
[edit] Quests
[edit] Enemies
In the case of Varanas and The Obsidian Bastion, they are both Zones within Zones, and their individual areas are Towns. Any feedback?
[edit] Cannot create new account
I get a server error :(
Info I wanted to add:
For the quest "Refining Yellow Juice", there is in fact willow in Sascilia @ 29.4, 24.1
- I will look into the account creation problem. -- Wynthyst talk 20:00, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Cookies
Hi, i know it is bad site to report this problem, but mayby you have idea?
Since yesterday my cookies ( Google Chrome ) bad working - e.g. i change article and if i look to recent changes i don't see this edit.
The same is true when I look at this edited article. On other sites i don't have this problem, only on theromwiki.
Any idea?
-- Rycerzodie
[edit] Menu, statistics and skins
I have an idea to menu - it can be in user language if it is available e.g. Polish site has been some articles
Runes of Magic Wiki/pl
This is easier to quickly move between pages.
I can add links to other sites e.g. Community Portal
Mayby you can add separate statistics to e.g. Polish sites?
Why you off options with select ready skins?
You can add it?
From e.g. galery on MediaWiki site
Rycerzodie 22:46, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
- I already told you that if you wish a polish subdomain, you need to tag all the polish pages as part of a translation project. Once there are enough completed, we will create a subdomain and move all the polish pages there. Then you get your own statistics, etc. and no, we will not be enabling any alternative skins. Can you please sign your talk page posts with 4 tildes (~~~~)? Thanks! -- Wynthyst talk 21:14, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Wiki update
Mayby good idea is update wiki to 1.20.2?

Heritage Square became a winter wonderland Saturday. It was their 7th Annual Ice Carving Festival. About 12 sculptures were judged and several more now fill Heritage Square in front of the shops. Organizers say it's a great family activity. "Most of the carvers are super interactive with the kids and the families just showing them techniques and tools that they use. A lot of the kids like the blow torches," said Kahli Anthony with Heritage Square.
Meteorologist John Fischer was a judge for the competition part of the festival. Mike Evans won the hearts of both the celebrity judges and the crowd. His flying heron sculpture won 1st place and the people's choice award. The money from the festival goes to Martin's heat for homes.

I was just curious if you guys knew the dimensions of this tank. I have a stand I want to use but I need to make sure it will fit before I buy it. Thanks!!
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Marc,
I happen to have one running on my desk so its easy to measure :-) Its just shy of 2ft wide, its a foot deep, and not including the acrylic stand or lights its 13" tall.
by David on April 25, 2014, @3:52 AM
The specifications state 211 GPH Pump Flow, does this setup include a 211 GPH pump or is it just stating that it is capable of that much flow and we have to buy a pump?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi David,
The pump is included :-)

Are the led on the tank powerful enough to grow softies and lps?
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Jacob,
They will have no problem with softies and most LPS do fine with them.

I wanted to know if this tank is the black or the white because it doesn't say when you go to purchase it. I would like to order the black.
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Matthew,
We only care the black ones here. The white are about impossible to keep clean :-)

My question is...which stands from Nuvo or any other Manufacturer are compatible with both the 16 or the 24?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Jay,
Innovative themselves doesn't actually make a stand for these. There small enough that they do just fine sitting on a piece of sturdy furniture, so most folks (including all of us at the office) just set them on our desks :-) Most aquarium stands unfortunately won't work as they are usually just support the perimeter of the tank and don't actually have a piece across the top (though it doesn't mean you couldn't add a piece of MDF board or something).

Salford scientist Dr Sean Barrett killed in Australiaby Andy Bonner
A quantum physicist from Salford who was at the "top of his career" has died in a car crash in Australia.
Dr Sean Barrett had been in the country for less than an hour when his taxi was hit by a stolen Toyota Landcruiser which police said was speeding and had ignored a red light.
The driver, who was arrested and charged with manslaughter, was taken to hospital.
36 year old Dr Barrett was in a relationship. His mother is said to be devastated.
– Family statement
Sean was a brilliant mind, and a brilliant man. Anyone who had the pleasure to meet him in physics and beyond would tell you that. He was a charismatic man who had the rare gift to light up any room. He is a loss to science, and to life. He was cut short in his prime. Rightly, his family, friends and his colleagues whom he leaves behind are devastated.
Dr Barrett was due to visit his close friend Dr Dee Chohan in Sydney for her birthday next week.
They met at the University of Cambridge 16 years ago.
– Dr Dee Chohan
Sean was in a different league. He was like my rock and he'd always say I'm his little kid sister. He would come and stay every single year. I miss him so much.
Dr Barrett, who could not drive, was killed alongside his taxi driver. He was named locally as Kuldeep Singh.
They were making their way from the airport in Perth, Western Australia, at around 2am on Friday when the crash happened.
Assistant Police Commissioner Gary Budge said the driver of the stolen car "proceeded through a red light at speed".
He said the vehicle had been stolen days earlier and the occupants were wanted in connection with a series of offences.
A police helicopter was in pursuit of the 4x4 but stood down when the driver turned off its lights.
Mr Budge said there was no evidence to suggest the car was being chased when it crashed.
Dr Barrett had travelled to Australia to speak at a conference on quantum physics being jointly organised by the University of Western Australia and the University of Queensland.
The event will now be dedicated to the memory of Sean with colleagues revisting his work and remembering his life.
– The Universities of Western Australia and Queensland
He was making significant impacts in the research field for which he had so much enthusiasm and passion. Sean's strength of character and insight drew colleagues and friends to him throughout his life. He was at the height of his career and leaves behind an outstanding research record. His tragic and sudden death is a profound loss to the research community.
A graduate of Churchill College at Cambridge, where he also completed his PhD, Dr Barrett went on to hold prestigious research positions at Hewlett-Packard Labs in Bristol and Macquarie University, New South Wales.
He was funded by a Royal Society Fellowship at Imperial College, London.
His research looked at theories into building scalable and robust quantum computers.
– Imperial College London
It is with great sadness the we have learnt of the death of Dr Sean Barrett. Sean was an outstanding physicist, whose research was furthering our understanding of quantum physics and quantum computing. His loss will be greatly felt by the scientific community. Our thoughts and condolences are with Dr Barrett's family, friends and colleagues at this tragic time.


text: Quick test finds signs of diarrheal disease caused by cryptosporidiosis Infection Control Today February 6, 2014 Bioengineers at Rice University and UTMB have developed a simple, highly sensitive and efficient test for the diarrheal disease cryptosporidiosis that could have great impact on global health. Results from the diagnostic developed by the lab of Rice bioengineer Rebecca Richards-Kortum are read from a paper strip that resembles a pregnancy test. Lines on the strip tell whether samples taken from the stool of a patient contain genetic DNA from the parasite that causes the disease. A. Clinton White, director of the infectious disease division at UTMB, asked Richards-Kortum to help develop a diagnostic test for the parasite. "I've been working with cryptosporidium for more than 20 years, so I wanted to combine her expertise in diagnosis with our clinical interest," he says. "Recent studies in Africa and South Asia by people using sophisticated techniques show this organism is a very common, underappreciated cause of diarrheal disease in underresourced countries." The news also appears in the Houston Chronicle and Science Codex. « Back | The Newsroom »

At his blog, veteran comedian & actor Larry Miller put up an awesome post about his experiences with pro wrestling, from watching it on TV as a kid, going to Madison Square Garden with Jerry Seinfeld and George Wallace in the '70s and '80s, co-starring with Hulk Hogan in "Suburban Commando," and taking his kids to more recent shows.
Is opera real? The fat man doesn't really love the fat woman, and she doesn't really have tuberculosis, and they're not even looking at each other as they sing facing the audience (and desperately trying to get their short arms around each other.
I love opera, by the way — You can't sleep like that at home — But think of the kind of acting you see in opera, the back of the hand melodramatically held to the forehead, the shoulders heaving with tears. It doesn't move us because it's "true" or "real" or looks like everyday life.
Well, wrestling is opera mixed with McDonald's. Wrestling is opera for people who go to McDonald's.
And you know what? I go to McDonald's. So do you. Not all the time, but you "get" McDonald's", and so do I, and you go when you feel like it, and sometimes, when walking through an airport, only McDonald's will do.
Folks, that wrestling was so much fun. My younger son loves it, and I love it with him, and we've seen some of the network stuff, and some pay-per-view things, and we have the best time together.
There's plenty of other good stuff in the original post, especially the story about George Wallace yelling at Fabulous Moolah.

Becoming a Stephen Minister
…to prepare God's people for works of service. -- Ephesians 4:12
Stephen Ministers are a small group of dedicated lay persons, having the gift of compassion, and believing as we "carry each other's burdens, in this way we fulfill the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2)Their mission is to provide personal, confidential, caring Christian support to those experiencing a difficult time in life.
As a volunteer for Stephen Ministry you will receive 50 hours of training and monthly continuing education with a Stephen Leader. The training embraces skills of compassionate listening by a friend who can provide helpful resources, care and support for a wide variety of life issues - where there is illness, where there are work-related problems, where there is personal or family changes, to the elderly and/or their children.
Acceptance into the Stephen Ministry program involves a willingness to serve at least two years, commit to seeing your care receiver at least one-hour per week, in addition to the initial training and continuing skill enrichment.
The Caregiver's Compass expresses the right direction for a Stephen Minister on their care-giving journey. The symbol of Jesus Christ at the center of the compass reminds us of the source and power for a caring ministry. The four points of the compass remind Stephen Ministers to be caregivers who are:
- Compassionate - able to share the suffering of their care receiver.
- Full of Faith - relying on God to be the one who heals all wounds.
- Skilled - knowing how to listen, understand and empathize.
- Trustworthy - maintaining confidentiality, visiting care receivers regularly, and maintaining committed to their ministry.

The Rewards of Ministry
In all my spiritual life I can not think of anything that has a deeper impact on me than Stephen ministry. From the first time I read about it in the parish newsletter I knew I was called to this Ministry. Since that time I have found a closer relationship with God in three persons than I ever experienced before in my life.
I have encountered and established a closer relationship with many outstanding members of our congregation. Most important, I have seen God at work in my life. I know not everyone is called to Stephen Ministry as I was. However, I urge you to prayerfully consider answering the call to serve both our church and the Lord as a Stephen Minister. --J. Hopper

To meet the character limit, here's Wikipedia on string theory: String theory is a model of fundamental physics whose building blocks are one-dimensional extended objects called strings, rather than the zero-dimensional point particles that form the basis for the Standard Model of particle physics. The phrase is often used as shorthand for Superstring theory. String theorists are attempting to adjust the Standard Model by removing the assumption in quantum mechanics that particles are point-like.

Reviews for
Inventor and the Tycoon : A Gilded Age Murder and the Birth of Moving Pictures
AudioFile Reviews 2013 May
Early on, Ball piques listeners' interest by letting us in on wealthy Leland Stanford's friendship with a murderer. Stanford's fascination with horses and how they move led Edward Muybridge, who killed his wife's lover, to invent the first motion pictures. John Mayer's narration isn't showy or sensational--and despite the opening volley, neither is Bell's writing. But Mayer's delivery will keep listeners mesmerized as they learn about the life of an unusual inventor. The historical account also offers a poetic meditation on "the visual age," as well as depictions of life in a wild San Francisco of the late 1800s. Few biographies capture lives as colorful as Muybridge's, and Mayer tells the story well. J.A.S. (c) AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine

It sounds like DJ White is still not cleared to play because of Chinese league paperwork (can someone outsource their contracts dept. to the U.S. please?).
#Celticstalk: #Celtics still awaiting clearance papers on D.J. White. Might not be signed until date closer to their next game on Friday.— A. Sherrod Blakely (@SherrodbCSN) February 26, 2013
But have no fear, Chris Forsberg has a primer on what to expect from our soon-to-be big man.
The good news: He has a decent spot up jumper and can finish on the break and when he gets an offensive board, he's really good at putting it back up and in. The bad (and so-so) news...
What can White do for you? - Boston Celtics Blog - ESPN Boston
If there's something that's held White back in his pro career, it's his defense. During his final season in Charlotte, he allowed 0.905 points per play, which ranked him in the 26th percentile among all players. Playing for the Bobcats won't help your defensive numbers, but White owns a career defensive rating (points per 100 possessions) of 109. He's OK on the glass with a career defensive rebound rate of 18.2 percent (by comparison, Chris Wilcox is at a disappointing 15.3 percent this season; Paul Pierce grabs 19.6 percent of available defensive caroms). Even still, his career total rebound rate (12.2 percent) would make him the second best available rebounder on the 2012-13 Celtics (with Jared Sullinger injured, only Kevin Garnett owns a better number).
Hmm, sounds like a cross between Bass and Wilcox with better rebounding. I think I just talked myself into him being the best big after Garnett. Probably not, but he's probably more NBA ready than Melo at this point, so every little bit helps.

Spring Break is one of the biggest highlights of most college student's year. Most of us start the countdown as soon as school starts in January! The week before normally includes mid-terms and papers so pinning down a few Spring Break essentials is important to do now.
I know you won't forget your bathing suit, but don't forget a cover up. Victoria's Secret has a few great cover-ups that could also double as a day dress for shopping or sightseeing.
Of course, sunglasses are a huge essential, but I suggest not bringing your favorite pair or designer shades. Sunglasses can easily be broken or misplaced when you're on a crowded beach. Head to Forever 21 and pick up a cheap pair and maybe a backup pair too! (I suggest Aviators for a classic beach look)
Remember it can get chilly at night. There is no need to pack 5 sweater options and 2 blazers. Pick out your favorite black boyfriend blazer and make it your go to for chilly nights. You can always pack a belt to wrap around the blazer to vary your look.
Bring a big, straw beach hat. Take a day to look chic on the beach and wear your big hat and sunglasses. You'll show off your style and get some shade.
These are just a few items that will help make your Spring Break the best ever! Have fun!!

Canonical Now Hiring Designers and Usability Visionaries
Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, wants a more elegant and user-friendly Linux-Desktop for it's users. In a full blown statement at this year's OSCON, Ubuntu grounder Mark Shuttleworth proclaimed: ''The great task in front of us over the next two years is to lift the experience of the Linux desktop from something that is stable and robust and not so pretty, into something that is art''.
How exactly he hopes to achieve this is explained on his blog: ''We're hiring designers, user experience champions and interaction design visionaries'' and he adds, ''With help from the experts, we'll make a unified desktop- experience happen.''
In effect he wants a team of X, OpenGL, Gtk, Qt, GNOME and KDE specialists to work on the project. The new team will work closely with the Upstream software developers but will be totally independent from Ubuntu's regular team, who will concentrate on the core business of integration and distribution of Ubuntu's software.
Shuttleworth admits it'll be difficult to get everyone together on this. Too many aims and objectives are colliding. He agrees it will be a process of trial and error, but he's sure the challenge can, and will, be met.

IF ODU wins on Saturday, I think we're in. If DU makes it to the finals, I think they're in. It IS still possible to get in three, if VCU or HU wins the tourney.
My guess is ODU/DU in the finals, with both getting in.
ODU, the CAA's flagship.
The most NCAA and NIT appearances in the CAA.
You may be in our conference, but you're not in our league.
It was on the 6 oclock sportscenter.
Here's the way I see it:Originally Posted by Mr. Jablomi
2 teams are eligable for at larges. ODU and Drexel. Drexel will only get it if they make it to the finals. ODU might still get it if they lose in the semis. Hence the only 3 bid scenerio (and I STILL don't think it would happen even if this played out) would be:
ODU losing in the semis to hofstra, drexel losing in the finals to hofstra.
3 bids is about a 1% shot at this point, but I put two bids at about 60%...
Follow the Dragons all season long, http://dragonsspeak.blogspot.com Thanks for the support!
Follow the blog on twitter @DragonsSpeak
I've got a really good feeling about ODU getting a bid and I hope that Drexel will also get a bid too. VCU has to win the CAA title and are plenty capable of doing just that....same with Hofstra. Four good teams at the top with ODU and Drexel deserving the most love because they were able to get the big OOC wins. Go CAA!!
A decade of excellence...

I'd put it higher than 1%, probably about 15-20.Originally Posted by MetSox
A very outside possibility is Drexel losing to VCU in the semi's and VCU beating ODU in the finals. VCU gets the auto, ODU and Drexel get at-larges. Drexel is a longshot in that scenario, but not a 1% longshot, especially considering the recent collapse of quite a few other bubble teams. We will see how big that late season win AT Creighton is to the selection comittee.
A similar win put Mason over the top last year.
I'm here because your mother isn't available!
The only way we get three bids are for bubble teams to lose the first games their tournaments.
That gives us a better chance of two teams but it would be amazing to get 3 like some mid majors have done in the past.
Wow - 2 at-large bids in 20 years and some of you think we will get 3 in. It would take a lot of things falling the right way - no upsets in mids tourneys (including our own) and all the bubble teams getting beat early in their tournaments. If VCU wins, I think we get maybe ODU in as an at-large if they make the finals. That would be two at-large in consecutive years (pretty good for the CAA). If VCU loses (assuming ODU wins it all if VCU doesn't), we get 0 at-large without the other scenarios playing out. VCU gave the committee the excuse it needed for exclusion (Bradley loss) and everybody else finishing behind VCU is good enough reason to exclude if you're excluding VCU.

Comparison of techniques for handling missing covariate data within prognostic modelling studies: a simulation study
Marshall, A. (Andrea), Altman, Douglas G., Royston, Patrick and Holder, Roger L.. (2010) Comparison of techniques for handling missing covariate data within prognostic modelling studies: a simulation study. BMC Medical Research Methodology, Vol.10 (Article 7). ISSN 1471-2288

Background: There is no consensus on the most appropriate approach to handle missing covariate data within prognostic modelling studies. Therefore a simulation study was performed to assess the effects of different missing data techniques on the performance of a prognostic model. Methods: Datasets were generated to resemble the skewed distributions seen in a motivating breast cancer example. Multivariate missing data were imposed on four covariates using four different mechanisms; missing completely at random (MCAR), missing at random (MAR), missing not at random (MNAR) and a combination of all three mechanisms. Five amounts of incomplete cases from 5% to 75% were considered. Complete case analysis (CC), single imputation (SI) and five multiple imputation (MI) techniques available within the R statistical software were investigated: a) data augmentation (DA) approach assuming a multivariate normal distribution, b) DA assuming a general location model, c) regression switching imputation, d) regression switching with predictive mean matching (MICE-PMM) and e) flexible additive imputation models. A Cox proportional hazards model was fitted and appropriate estimates for the regression coefficients and model performance measures were obtained. Results: Performing a CC analysis produced unbiased regression estimates, but inflated standard errors, which affected the significance of the covariates in the model with 25% or more missingness. Using SI, underestimated the variability; resulting in poor coverage even with 10% missingness. Of the MI approaches, applying MICE-PMM produced, in general, the least biased estimates and better coverage for the incomplete covariates and better model performance for all mechanisms. However, this MI approach still produced biased regression coefficient estimates for the incomplete skewed continuous covariates when 50% or more cases had missing data imposed with a MCAR, MAR or combined mechanism. When the missingness depended on the incomplete covariates, i.e. MNAR, estimates were biased with more than 10% incomplete cases for all MI approaches. Conclusion: The results from this simulation study suggest that performing MICE-PMM may be the preferred MI approach provided that less than 50% of the cases have missing data and the missing data are not MNAR.

Couple questioned over hit-and-run death
A 27-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man are helping police with their enquiries after a fatal hit-and-run collision near Sittingbourne last night at about 9.15pm.
A grey Fiat Bravo, believed to have been involved, has also been recovered close to the scene of the incident.
A 14-year-old boy was riding his silver bicycle on the A2 London Road near Bapchild Cricket Club, towards Faversham, when he was hit from behind by the car. It is understood that the car continued to travel in the direction of Teynham.
The boy sustained serious injuries and was treated by paramedics but pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers investigating the fatal collision are particularly keen to speak with anyone who saw a grey Fiat Bravo in the area at the time of the collision.

Employees are the lifeblood of any organization and can often make the difference between a company being successful and secure or inefficient and compromised. If decision-makers want the former, they need to implement advanced IT training programs that educate users on the sophisticated cybersecurity landscape and how individuals can make a difference in safeguarding mission-critical assets.
Insiders can be just as serious of a security threat as hackers and cybercriminals, as negligent or malicious employees can easily sabotage an organization's security strategy - whether on purpose or on accident. This was highlighted in a recent report by Dark Reading, which said executives can take initiative and change how much of a risk their workers pose.
"A determined attacker is going to get into your network. Who is going to report it, how are they going to respond - those are the questions that you need to ask," said Jayson Street, a penetration tester for Stratagem 1 Solutions, according to Dark Reading. "It's time to think of your employees as the biggest human intrusion-detection system."
Establishing an effective strategy to educate these individuals, however, is all in the approach.
Changing user behavior is a necessity
The only real way to ensure employees transition from a threat to an asset is to change their fundamentals, Dark Reading noted.
A separate study conducted by the Ponemon Institute and Symantec revealed that insiders continue to pose a serious risk to organizations, especially as more companies adopt cloud computing and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) programs. The survey found that negligent insiders were responsible for 39 percent of data breaches.
"The status quo doesn't work," said Aaron Cohen, managing director at security training firm MAD Security, according to Dark Reading. "People look at buying hundreds of firewalls but not spending the appropriate amount of money training their employees or making sure their employees know how to protect their assets."
Learn lessons from mistakes
As is the case with everything, practice makes perfect. In other words, companies of all sizes are bound to experience data breaches, especially as the cyberthreat landscape evolves and becomes more menacing. For this reason, decision-makers should accept the inevitable and use breaches as a training tool to educate individuals as to which security-related IT services could prevent similar situations from happening in the future, Dark Reading noted.
With the right training, employees can react to an incident faster and more effectively, reducing the damage a breach can incur.
"We've seen companies where it's a three-month cycle to detect an attack through technology, where a properly trained employee who voices [his] suspicions can lead to detection in about 10 minutes," said Scott Greaux, vice president of product management for PhishMe, according to the news source.
While there is no longer any doubt that the digital landscape is becoming more dangerous, especially with the consumerization of IT in full swing, this does not mean companies should simply keel over and accept that an inevitable breach will run them dry. With the right mindset and IT training programs, employees can become true security assets to an organization, rather than ongoing threats decision-makers need to constantly worry about.
In the coming years, executives will need to deploy innovative techniques to stay competitive with rival firms without adopting technologies that could inadvertently expose confidential resources. Educated employees can be the fundamental difference between a secure firm and a vulnerable organization. What are some steps your company has taken to minimize insider threats?

Seen a few games but never seriously followed the Penguins until just after Mario's 2001 comeback. I remember where I was when it was announced that the Penguins had won the entry draft lottery in 2005 and I watch Game 7 of the 2009 Stanley Cup Finals against Detroit whenever I am depressed.
Chicago Bulls
Started watching just before Jordan's second comeback. Pippen's still my favorite former Bulls player today. I have fond memories of Rodzilla & the flu game. Like most other Bulls fans now, I'm getting increasingly jaded by our management but still hopefully optimistic for our future with Derrick Rose & Joakim Noah. I'll keep the Hinrich Hope alive!
Manchester United
I've stopped watching soccer seriously for a while after the 2002 World Cup. The first year I watched this team, we lost the premiership to Arsenal. The year later, I was sitting in the living room 2 days after my 10th birthday with some old classmates watching Sheringham and old supersub, Solskjear, spark one of the greatest comebacks in soccer history, winning the magnificent treble. Since then, it's been awhile since I kept up with team news and it was a rude shock when I found out recently that not only has Keano retired, he's even been transferred. The friends that I watched the 1999 UEFA Champions League Final with I have lost contact with but my 3 favorite players, Giggs, Scholes & Gary Neville, are still there.
