Mobile Security
Amid the push toward a more mobile federal workforce and initiatives to encourage BYOD, one research-and-development facility with ties to the Energy Department is working toward better mobile security by studying large networks of smartphones.
Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories -- operated by Lockheed Martin subsidiary Sandia Corporation on behalf of the National Nuclear Security Administration -- have built a self-contained Android-based network of 300,000 virtual mobile devices to study cyber disruptions in hopes of making devices more secure.
Dubbed MegaDroid, the project is expected to result in a software tool that will enable cyber researchers to model similar environments and examine the behaviors of smartphone networks. The ultimate goal, however, is overall better mobile security.
"Smartphones are now ubiquitous and used as general-purpose computing devices as much as desktop or laptop computers," said Sandia's David Fritz (pictured). "But even though they are easy targets, no one appears to be studying them at the scale we're attempting."
Megadroid represents an important step in understanding and limiting the damage from network disruptions due to glitches in software or protocols, natural disasters, acts of terrorism, or other causes, according to the researchers.
"You can't defend against something you don't understand," said John Floren, a computer scientist at Sandia. The larger the scale, the better, he said, because more computer nodes will provide researchers with more data to study.
MegaDroid will mainly be useful to flush out problems that manifest themselves when large numbers of smartphones interact, said Keith Vanderveen, manager of Sandia's Scalable and Secure Systems Research department.
"You could also extend the technology to other platforms besides Android," he said. "Apple's iOS, for instance, could take advantage of our body of knowledge and the toolkit we're developing."
MegaDroid will also be used to explore issues around data protection and data leakage, which Vanderveen said concern agencies such as the departments of Defense and Homeland Security.

Yankees struggling farm system will hurt them in 2014
It's no secret that the Yankees are looking to cut payroll down to $189 million next season. All along the way they have insisted that they would continue to field a "championship caliber" team though and they would need a lot of young players to step up to achieve that goal. Well let me tell you, ...

Instructor Workshop 2014
Registration is now closed for the April 2014 Instructor Workshop. We anticipate holding another workshop in late 2014/early 2015. Please contact us with any questions and find out more about the format in the example below.
2014 UC California Naturalist Program Instructor Workshop
April 29-30, 2014; at UC's Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Parlier, CA
You are invited to participate in a workshop focused on how to create and teach the UC California Naturalist Program. These workshops are for organizations interested in partnering with University of California ANR to offer the California Naturalist Program to their community, volunteers, or staff. There is an application process to becoming a partner program, and attending the workshop is one step in the process, but does not guarantee that we will be able to partner with your organization. We assume workshop participants are aware of this UC program, have discussed the program internally among staff and leadership, and are interested in learning more about moving forward toward a partnership to offer the CA Naturalist course locally. Download the draft agenda here.
Workshop agenda will include:
- Instructor and participant expectations
- Course tools, structure, syllabi, and customization
- Financial information, marketing and promotion
- Program evaluation
- Experiential learning and citizen science
- Working with adult audiences
- Managing volunteers
- Facilitated discussions
Each participant will receive a complete training manual and teaching tools. Prior to the workshop, we recommend participants have seen the UC California Naturalist Handbook that serves as the textbook for the program. Lunch, beverages and snacks will be provided both days. Please bring your own water bottle.
Training Team Includes: California Naturalist Program Directors and staff and UC ANR colleagues
Day 1 will cover the above agenda items and Day 2 will include a field trip and Naturalist activities, plus discussions. Day 1 is not optional. Day 2 is optional, but encouraged.
Time: 10:00AM-5PM Day 1; 9:00AM-2PM Day 2 (Day 2 optional but encouraged)
Place: Day 1 at Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Parlier, CA (approximately 30 minutes from the Fresno Airport). Day 2 at Sierra Foothills Conservancy's McKenzie Preserve.
Cost: $80/both days; $65 Day 1 (includes lunch both days, training manual)
FYI: Because we will provide in-depth training regarding the logistics and details of the program, participants must have attended the May 30, 2013 Outreach Webinar, or viewed the slides and listened to the audio (links on this page). These webinar materials provide a broad overview of the program and cover many frequently asked questions. Workshop space is limited, so please send only core program staff.
Accommodations: Most of us will stay at the Edgewater Inn in Reedley. It is both economic (~$65, double occupancy) and conveniently located 30 minutes from the Fresno Airport, 5 minutes from the Kearney Agriculture and Extension Center (Day 1), and the carpool meeting spot for traveling together to the Sierra Foothills Conservancy's McKenzie Preserve (Day 2). If you are traveling alone and would like to share the expense of a room, we'd be happy to try to pair you with someone else in the workshop.
Alternatively, there is camping very close to the Edgewater Inn at Kelly's Beach on the Kings River.
(Registration is now closed for the April 2014 Instructor Workshop, please contact us with any questions!)
Thanks to UC ANR staff, Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center, and Sierra Foothills Conservancy for co-hosting this workshop.

MARRS (stylised M|A|R|R|S on logo) was a 1987 one-off recording act formed by the groups A.R. Kane and Colourbox. It became "a one-hit wonder of rare influence" due to their international hit "Pump Up the Volume", considered the first UK number one to contain samples from other songs, and nominated for a Grammy Award in 1989.
MARRS started in 1987 as a collaboration between the groups A.R. Kane and Colourbox, with additional input from DJs Chris "C.J." Mackintosh and Dave Dorrell. However, the collaboration did not go entirely according to plan. Once in the studio, the groups' different working methods and personalities failed to gel. Producer Jon Fryer found himself in the middle and unable to resolve the conflict between the two camps. The result was that instead of working together, the two groups ended up recording a track each, then turning it over to the other for additional input.
Of the two pieces completed, one, "Anitina" was an A.R. Kane track with drum programming by Colourbox's Steve Young. The other, "Pump Up the Volume", was a propulsive Martyn Young track constructed largely of samples, including one of A.R. Kane's guitars.
The record was released under the alias MARRS, an acronym derived from the forenames of the five 4AD artists involved in the project: Martyn, Alex Ayuli, and Rudi Tambala (from A.R. Kane); Russell Smith (an associate A.R. Kane member); and Steve (from Colourbox).
MARRS's sole release was the double A-sided single "Pump Up the Volume" / "Anitina", released on 4AD in the UK. Only "Pump Up the Volume" gained significant attention and airplay and went on to be a number one hit in the United Kingdom. It was also released on 4th & B'way Records/Island Records in the U.S. "Pump Up the Volume" is considered to have been the first UK number one to contain samples from other songs. The performance was nominated for the 1989 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance but lost out to "Close-Up" by David Sanborn. Plans for any follow-up material never materialized, and creative differences split up the group.

Unacceptable Attitude !!! Resently I found A HOF member copying answers of my friend and submitting it to my questions.The copied answers were of my of a friend of mine who had wriiten with her knowledge and brilliance and not copied from any Net sources.The HOF member has more than 2 lac points in his account and above 370 BAs in his credit.Why he has to copy someone's answer from word to word .What could be his motivation to do such an unethical act.I have gnored it but I find difficult to accept this attitude of an educated person .Please help me with your views regarding this issue....
Answers (16)
Being an HOF member has no halo about it at all. It is just that they were here earlier than you and thus posted more answers or it is they wrote one word or one line answers at a furious pace to land up there and be seen. No great achievement at all for any one to feel on top of the world. Even with the same style of answering, I had reached 2,25,000 pts flat by 15 Nov 2007, within a span of four and half months only because I was taking a break and had nothing better to do as I kept waiting for a breakthrough to come through and since then have moved at snails' pace to be where I am. Sorry, I am dwelling on this to emphasise that, there is nothing great about being in HOF. Many have come later and who are not in the HOF but much better than any one of us in the HOF for their standard of answering, depth of knowledge and sincerity in answering.
For any one to do copy and paste of another member's answer re ...more
Sometimes, people are SO obsessed w/ "marks" its ridiculous. Sort-a makes me glad I scored low marks in school lol. Why can't people just look @ this site like a chai shop & learn to have fun & get some info at least.
So being in "HoF" or being an "Expert" isin't gonna make Manmohan SIngh rush to my house to hear my latest inputs on the Indian economy & society, so why do ppl go so gung-ho crazy over "points" and "titles" ? ? ?
So many unethical activities are going on here due to laxity of rediff management. When unruly rogues know that the hand of law is weak they come and bring with them their own caste & creed as well but when they realise that the hand of law is efficient and swift they just run away.
May be there is a "serious" race among some ppl in the HOF- may be they think QNA point is oxygen.
But why bother; let all games be played in this virtual arena, as long as they don't personally offend others.
So let go.

main index
Usually takes the form "Of course I know [famous person]. We grew up/went to school/served in the military/shared a cell in a Turkish prison together. I can certainly get tickets/backstage passes/an interview/other difficult or impossible favor for you, no problem." Of course, the person making the claim has no such connection to the celebrity in question, and sometimes may not even have a clue of who the celebrity is. The promise is made either in an attempt to look more important than he really is, or out of misplaced sympathy for a friend, a child, or some other "unfortunate" who has failed at the task. The resulting mad scramble to make good on the foolish promise drives at least a subplot (if not the main plot) for an entire episode. It usually ends up with apparent failure (and thus disgrace to the one who uttered The Celebrity Lie) suddenly rescued at the last minute by the celebrity in question, who sometimes goes so far as to help maintain the liar's deception. Usually requires a Special Guest or a Celebrity Star, although fictional celebrities are sometimes employed with sufficient exposition for the audience (see The Weekenders, "Band"). Virtually every 1970s sitcom had at least one of these episodes, and the plot continues to be used today. This device is often employed when the writers feel the need to enact An Aesop about honesty, without actually requiring the characters to be honest. Not to be confused with Celebrity Is Overrated.

SLIDELL, La. (AP) - Slidell Mayor Freddy Drennan has warned city workers about possible layoffs beginning in January because of an unexpected slump in city sales tax revenues.
Drennan says he met with many of the city's 300 employees on Tuesday and notified them that jobs may be cut if the revenue decline continues.
For the current fiscal year, the city has a $43 million budget, including $17.9 million in budgeted sales tax revenues. Sales tax revenues are now hovering between 4 and 5 percent below what was expected, creating a possible $1 million shortfall.
Drennan said he hopes to avoid layoffs by not filling positions vacated voluntarily or through retirements. He said he knows of several people who do plan to retire soon, but layoffs remain on the table.

Reviews for Solve My Mystery LyricsPerformed by Oasis
Add Your New Review About The Song
Great song. | Reviewer: JT QLD | 2/5/14
WOW. Another great song from one of the best bands to ever walk the planet. Makes you feel good and bad at the same time, yet victory is yours in the end.Noel Gallaghers song writing ability is just incredible,and is once again shown here.
How Was This Never Even a B-Side? | Reviewer: Mav | 11/30/10
Yet another quality unreleased Oasis track. It's not as great as Acquiesce or Fade Away, but it's a likeable song nonetheless. It speaks to how talented a band Oasis really were in that they threw away dozens and dozens of great songs as B-sides, tracks that stack up favorably to the hits of other bands.
Another good B-Side | Reviewer: firstname.lastname@example.com | 1/14/06
SOLVE MY MYSTERY is a very powerful song, and it does make one wonder why it has not been made an a-side as of yet. It is testament to the undying quality of every Oasis song, with a strong message, and a great mix of musiv and lyrics to capture so many moods and various states of mind. This song may be released on a new Oasis compilation album in 2006. It is the perfect song for anyone who is feeling slightly ill at ease, or is going through a tough experience in life, and is a triumph to conquer blues.

Letters to the Editor
Date: October 18, 2012
by: Observer Staff
+ Thank you for your recommendations
Dear Editor:
As you may know, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune will no longer publish recommendations for local elections. This has been valuable information in the past because choosing between two or more local politicians is difficult unless you have access to a non-biased recommendation.
I enjoy receiving The Observer and congratulate you and your staff on a job well done.
John C. Walton
+ Vote 'yes' to Amendment 6
Dear Editor:
A yes vote on Amendment 6 will fix a dysfunctional aspect of our current Sarasota government that divides responsibilities between the city auditor/clerk and the city manager. CEOs and business leaders of corporations and businesses would not tolerate this division of senior level responsibilities in their own operations. They would recognize that if it creates a dysfunctional management structure.
In my experience as a senior level public administrator, you cannot share critical responsibilities with other people. It is a recipe for strife, power struggles, inefficiencies and conspiracies. The city manager needs to be given the authority over operations that allows for effective and efficient governance with advice, consent, and oversight from the elected city commissioners. This amendment accomplishes that task.
This amendment makes the city auditor a charter official and provides for a professional auditor to maintain the checks, balances and oversight that Sarasota needs. The position must be professionalized and be independent of city management. This charter amendment accomplishes that task.
This amendment makes a lot of sense. It provides an organizational framework that would improve the operations and management of the city's affairs.

Biologic pathways with significant genetic conservation across human populations have been implicated in the pathogenesis of primary graft dysfunction (PGD). The evaluation of the role of recipient genetic variation in PGD has thus far been limited to single, candidate gene analyses.We sought to identify genetic variants in lung transplant recipients that are responsible for increased risk of PGD using a two-phase large-scale genotyping approach.Phase 1 was a large-scale candidate gene association study of the multicenter, prospective Lung Transplant Outcomes Group cohort. Phase 2 included functional evaluation of selected variants and a bioinformatics screening of variants identified in phase 1.After genetic data quality control, 680 lung transplant recipients were included in the analysis. In phase 1, a total of 17 variants were significantly associated with PGD, four of which were in the prostaglandin E2 family of genes. Among these were a coding variant in the gene encoding prostaglandin E2 synthase (PTGES2; P = 9.3 × 10(-5)) resulting in an arginine to histidine substitution at amino acid position 298, and three variants in a block containing the 5' promoter and first intron of the PTGER4 gene (encoding prostaglandin E2 receptor subtype 4; all P < 5 × 10(-5)). Functional evaluation in regulatory T cells identified that rs4434423A in the PTGER4 gene was associated with differential suppressive function of regulatory T cells.Further research aimed at replication and additional functional insight into the role played by genetic variation in prostaglandin E2 synthetic and signaling pathways in PGD is warranted.

Inside Long Island Business
Get the latest news and trends on Long Island companies and the people behind them.
Poll: Are tax breaks for companies worth it?
On Long Island, it's a frequent scenario: A private company threatens to move, or says it can't expand without government help. So a county or town Industrial Development Agency grants breaks on property taxes and/or sales taxes to convince the company to stay or expand, thereby preserving or creating jobs on the Island.
Do you think the tax benefits are worth the cost? Vote and leave a comment. Results and a selection of comments will be published in next Sunday's business section.

IBM Vt layoffs estimated at more than 300July 04,2013IBMs layoffs put
at more than 300
MONTPELIER The states labor commissioner estimated that IBM laid off more than 300 Vermont workers in its recent round of job cuts, but a firmer total should be known by the end of next week.
Annie Noonan said IBM is required to notify the Labor Department within 24 hours of job separations becoming final, which is set to happen July 12.
She said by then the state should have a reliable figure of the total job cuts made public last month.
IBM has a policy of not releasing layoff totals.
Noonan said her estimate of about 310 layoffs is based on the number of IBM employees who have been showing up at state-run seminars on seeking new work.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER The state auditor questioned Vermonts role in the liquor business in a new report...

Save Ofcom! Telcos and consumer groups call for end to legal disputes
Consumer groups and two telcos have written to the government in support of Ofcom's attempts to revamp its appeals process and stop legal challenges from obstructing its rulings. Which?, Consumer Futures, Three and TalkTalk have all signed a letter to culture secretary Maria Miller and business secretary Vince Cable that says …
A stitch in time
> Ofcom has nearly every new regulation challenged, often on legal technicalities
Doesn't that just mean that Ofcom employs crap lawyers - who don't know how to draft regulations that are actually legal?
Instead of Ofcom bleating about the naughty telcos who spot the holes, which they should have spotted earlier and then use those flaws to delay the introduction of new rules that would benefit the public to the telcos' detriment (I bet they don't challenge anything that is good for them), why not actually get someone competent to look over the proposed rules before they are enacted?
Re: A stitch in time
Doesn't that just mean that Ofcom employs crap lawyers - who don't know how to draft regulations that are actually legal?
I suspect it means that the legal money pot at Vodafone, O2, EE, etc is *much* bigger than the legal pot at OFCOM. If you're a multi billion pound company, spending a few hundred thousand pounds on lawyers to delay, or trivially amend a rule, might make business sense.
I've seen it mentioned several times that the private sector has deeper pockets for legal costs than the public sector.
Re: A stitch in time
Sorry but that is unjustified criticism of the situation.
What is happening is that the large telcos are reviewing the regulations that are being presented and challengine minor technical points of law. Like everything in this world that has to do with judgements there will always be differences of opinion between parties as to the meaning of certain terms, phrases or sentences and in terms of regulations, those disputes must be resolved in a legal environment (i.e. tribunals in this instant).
I work with legal contracts everyday and spend a lot of my time agreeing with customers the meaning of specific clauses in order to ensure that both parties have a common understanding of the "intent" of the clause in order to avoid disputes later down the line. When those contracts deal with complex issues there will often be much discussion about the intent of both parties in the wording that is being proposed.
With respect to OFCOM I suggest that they add the traditional statement, that the regulations apply until or unless found to be illegal or void by a competent court or tribunal. That would put the rules in place first and any challenge would only be effective if it was found to be valid by the courts. Many of the current challenges are often lost by the telcos but the delays the claim introduces is of benefit to them. Remove the benefit and it may well prove it also gets rid of many of the claims.
Re: A stitch in time
Partly true. But also there is a problem with the system.
I have sympathy with this even though I think Three arn't fit to do other that resell services from a competent wholesale operator (for ENTIRE UK Mobile Spectrum or even entire EU Mobile Spectrum) and I think Ofcom need abolished or reformed as the Country's Infrastructure, spectrum protection and Consumers are low on priority but raising money for Treasury and keeping major Mobile & Telco & Tat manufacturers happy is high on agenda.
Re: A stitch in time
" Many of the current challenges are often lost by the telcos but the delays the claim introduces is of benefit to them. Remove the benefit and it may well prove it also gets rid of many of the claims."
Getting the challenges deemed vexatious would help too.
Re: A stitch in time
"That would put the rules in place first and any challenge would only be effective if it was found to be valid by the courts"
A good start, but I think they should go further: Simply make OFCOM (in law) the arbiter of its own rules. So they set the rules, they decide what they mean, telcos that don't like it can go play in other markets they like better.
What's the point of a supposed regulator that can't set regulations without somebody else deciding what they mean? As OFCOM are appointed and overseen by government there's no big deal to allowing them to say how their own rules should be interpreted (in fact this is largely what happens in other regulated sectors).
Re: A stitch in time
Making OFCOM it's own arbiter could go very wrong, very quickly. A couple of large white envelopes from the telcos to impressionable people on the right committees and the public could be in a world of hurt.
Re: A stitch in time
Ofcom are judge, jury, and gaoler for many aspects of policy in the UK. They are only too keen to cry that the EU told them to do something (PLT), but drag their feet over other EU recommendations (SSB on CB), whilst ignoring laws on statute (EMC). Scrapping them and splitting off their functions to other bodies should be a priority for the government!
Re: A stitch in time
"Scrapping them and splitting off their functions to other bodies should be a priority for the government!"
I work in a sector where the current regulator OFGEM is slated for closure and replacement by the probably inevitable next (Labour) government. In practice this means that we have a lame duck regulator who's going to do nothing for the next two years, and then a further two years (minimum) to design, legislate for the new regulator, and then recruit and get up to speed.
I believe OFCOM are a crummy and ineffectual regulator, but simply moving responsibilities to new bodies won't necessarily make those new bodies any better. Far better in my view to sack Tony Blair's placeman chief executive, and make the existing organisation work.
Re: A stitch in time
"Making OFCOM it's own arbiter could go very wrong, very quickly"
But that's where we are already, that regulation is toothless and beneficial to the telecoms industry.
As a general rule the civil service are not very open to bribery, so I don't see the "envelope" argument as a big challenge (they're brown, not white, by the way). And you could say that the current system is open to financial persuasion in excatly the same way, you simply bribe different people.
Re: A stitch in time
> I've seen it mentioned several times that the private sector has deeper pockets for legal costs than the public sector.
Yes, that's my understanding, too. A corollary being that they can afford to employ better (and more) legal counsel.
"...Tony Blair's placeman chief executive..."
You'd probably have to swing the axe a bit more widely than the chief exec. Peruse the list of Ofcoms top tier and the likes of their advisory committee and dig into the history, and you quickly see how far the deck is stacked against the consumer.
Ofcom's decisions can be derailed too easily, through technical challenges that ignore the substance of the regulator's judgments
Well of course we wouldn't want technical information to interfere with the running of our telecoms industry, would we?
Don't worry Ofcom we wub you weally.
A little more careful reading would help realise that "technical" here isn't referring to engineering issues, but to trivial points of law.

Haha, digidraw! good one
I always make my wallpapers with Photoshop 7, it's the only program like that which I've gotten my hands on, I hear it's the best from some people, so I'm not complaining.
Fotoshop is the most perfectfor me.
Paint Shop Pro 8, i have a love/hate relationship with it. But all the headaches it's caused me over time, i guess im attatched to it now. And i hear that Paint shop pro 9 is chock full of glitches & bugs so it looks like i'll be sticking with 8.
I use Image Ready 7.0 and Photoshop 7.0. Nice ones. Well I don't make wallpapers though, only sigs.
And I thought my Rainbow Art Kit was getting the job done well. I NEED DIGIDRAW.Originally Posted by Zui Quan

All clear given after suspicious package found at Birch Run outlet mall
Updated On: Apr 21 2013 05:03:51 PM EDT
Police responded to the Birch Run Premium Outlet mall, located off of I-75, after a suspicious package was found on Sunday.
The all clear was given at 3: 30 p.m., after packages were noticed in a store trash can by a worker who then contacted mall security.
Security took no risk and the state police were called.
Shoppers were evacuated from a section of the mall while the Michigan State Police bomb squad and K-9 units investigated.
Police roped off a section near the Loft Outlet store and approximately 15 stores in total were effected by the evacuation.
Police declined to name the store where the packages were found, but say they were merely someone's trash and posed no threat.
In Detroit, a suspicious package was found outside of the 6th police precinct that promoted officers to evacuate Sunday morning.
The all clear was given in this case and police were able to reenter the building just before 9 a.m.

Review this movie
Jul 22, 2013I'd recommend this film to anyone interested in the gray areas of modern democracies. It's not just about the Shin Bet, or Israel, or the Middle Eastern situation. Ultimately, it's about any country that has to straddle the line between transparency and human rights on the one hand, and the safety of its citizens on the other. The real strength of the film and its main selling point is that Moreh mostly lets these men talk, and the interviews offer brutally honest confessions and profound questions that you just won't get from someone who hasn't spent years steeped in the conflict.… Expand
Jul 19, 2013Dramatic documentary about colonial occupation and murder of indigenous inhabitants told without remorse. Its a movie one would expect in a parallel universe where the bad guys won but horrifying it exists in ours.
Jul 18, 2013This is a fascinating movie no doubt. It is also depressing in the extreme, be sure to take a double dose of your favorite anti-depressant before and after you go. This movie gives credence to the adage that power corrupts. The power of the Israeli intelligence agency has been and continues to be a terrible thing. I left the movie feeling so sad not just for the Palestinians, but for the Israeli citizens, who have had to endure 60 plus years of strife. What a shame.… Expand
Apr 16, 2013A fascinating and interesting documentary about the Shin Bet, Israel's security agency. The film expertly mixes archive footage with six talking heads, who were former leaders of the organisation, to present a disturbing portrait from all sides. As one former leader says 'One man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter'. The film does get a bit bogged down with less interesting asides, but generally it's on the money. It also lends credence to the famous quote 'What's the definition of hell on earth'? Answer Other People! After watching this I can only agree.… Collapse
Mar 16, 2013An absolute must for anyone who has followed the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, but from the mouth of one side looking back on history, and from people who should know, and who are amazingly frank and self reflective. Former leaders of Shin Bet, the Israeli secret service, are interviewed and are surprisingly candid, wise, philosophic and even rueful about their business. A cautionary tale indeed and quite appropriate in this day of occupation,drones and special ops. Now if we could only get something similar from the other side!… Expand
Mar 2, 2013Outstanding documentary. Essential viewing for those who care about the future of Israel (as opposed to those who prefer to score cheap points by taking an easy position on Israel-Palestine). Compelling, frightening, and very insightful. One of the most memorable films I've seen in years. The humanity and the internal conflict of the interviewees shines through.
Feb 4, 2013Still, for all the exploits and moments of success, the prevailing tone at the end is one of near-despair over the future of Israel on the part of knowledgeable patriots who have spent their lives manning the ramparts. The climactic comments of all six participants lament weak-willed leadership, an Israel that's become a "police state," and a point at which "We've become...cruel."
Feb 4, 2013I thought that I knew a little something about the internal politics of Israel. Obviously not enough. This is an incredibly interesting look into an organization from the men who ran it during very difficult periods of recent history. Shockingly candid accounts with at least some perspective on and temporal distance from the events. This may strike many as minor, but the only aspect of the film that rubs me the wrong way is the way the filmmakers use what looks like video-game graphics to fill-in or connect the very famous photographs from these conflicts. For such an austere conversation, it pulls me out of the moment.… Expand
Insightful, revelatory and profound, Moreh's Oscar-nominated documentary combines riveting interviews, archive footage and - yes - state-of-the-art photographic effects to offer a unique perspective on the Israel-Palestine issue.
Although The Gatekeepers lacks the stylistic inventiveness of "Fog," it is nonetheless a compelling account of what can go wrong when power is unrestrained.
Using the interviews along with news footage and occasional re-enactments, Moreh conducts a kind of primer in the organization's history, which is, in its own way, a history of modern Israel. It's fascinating.

Getting Back on Track
Since I finished my thesis, I have found my writing voice silenced. I can barely write. It's not like the creative juices can only be found here and there, right? Gah. I am determined, however, to find it again. After all, a silenced teacher won't get far, right? And so here I am again, trying to find it. Anything you want to hear from me? Just holler and let us see if I can get this ball rolling.

Summer Fun Programs
As the school year draws to a close, there are a whole bunch of summer fun programs opening up to keep the kids busy and active during the next few months. I am surely looking forward to leading a Kids Yoga program at Appleseed Montessori, a preschool in Makati. A friend of mine is doing an arts and crafts program in Alabang, so do check them out on Facebook (Artsy Fartsy Alabang). A fellow Radiant Child Yoga teacher friend of mine is doing a yoga and social skills workshop in Pampanga and the list is endless!
These programs will definitely be a good way to engage the children over the summer and explore their potentials outside of the academic realm. To all teachers, schools, program heads, and the like, please feel free to leave a comment on this post and include your Facebook link or webiste Don't you love how Social Media and the Internet can help save on wholesale brochure printing costs?

When Students Succeed
In the midst of all the excitement of the Sochi Olympics, the presence of the lone Filipino skater surely got the attention of the nation. Then one day, while browsing Facebook, I saw a post from one of my former teachers who said that the skater was actually from our school. I took a look and then realized he used to be my student! Woah
It is such a thrill to see my students from preschool make something of themselves. I know it had very little to none of my doing, but it definitely made me smile.
So…I've taught an Olympic skater and I also have a former student who is the first Filipino astronaut. I'd like to think I've been a blessed teacher, yes?Read More

An upside to having waited so long for this upgrade: got my Pages, Numbers and Keynote ABSOLUTELY FREE!!! Woohooooo.Read More

Just Around the Corner
It's amazing how fast time flies. Once again, Christmas is right around the corner. While many of us may not feel the Christmas spirit, due to all the disasters our world has faced these past few months, it is important to pause and be grateful for all the good that has happened, EVEN IF. I take inspiration from all those who survived and made it through difficult times. I see them still smile on news reports and photos despite the horrific things they have encountered. And so as the news feeds change on my Facebook timeline and people start putting up their Christmas trees and setting up their miniature Christmas villages (speaking of which, click here for lemax Christmas village accessories), I pause with gratitude for what 2013 has brought.Read More

Why Kids Should Play Music
I am currently halfway through my latest teacher training program and there is a big emphasis on the role of sound currents in this particular program. Coming from a Kundalini yoga background, this course has shown me the importance of not just chanting, but also listening to the vibrations around us, such as that of beating on a drum, blowing on a horn, or even just deepening the breath. I have always known kids learn a lot from music, but I always saw it from a one-dimensional aspect. It was what they do, after all. Also, because I was never interested in musical instruments and would never in my wildest dreams think of asking for one of those Pintech electronic drums or what not, I didn't give it much value.
Today I realized, however, that 5 things music does are:
1. It can help one learn to regulate breathing.
2. It brings awareness to the body and sensations of the body.
3. It allows for better coordination (this I kinda new already).
4. It builds confidence.
5. It brings people together.
So yes, if only for these five reasons, kids should always be allowed to play music, and not just during music class.Read More

Wishing for Summer….
Gosh, it's only July and already I'm wishing for summer. While I do acknowledge that this year has gone by so quickly, I am anticipating summer break like anything. Well, I guess it's not just summer break, but a break in general. I want to just veg in front of the television and not think about anything, if that is okay. I wanna flip through the random cable channels and relax. Since I've been watching shows on my laptop more than anything, maybe I should check out those direct TV and online streaming packages such as the one sky offers. So yes, getting back to the point, I am so wishing for my summer holiday so I can just do that…
Don't get me wrong: I love my job. Or Jobs, should I say. I love doing what I do, especially at the university, however, it can get really, really exhausting. It's not the amount of work, I think, because it's still the same as before. I think it's more of the way I am expending my energy. Being a highly introverted person, I relish my alone time and need that to recharge. This does not mean I don't want to be around others, mind you, but when I don't have time to just check in and settle into myself, it gets overwhelming. Add to this, the cold, damp and rainy weather is getting to me. Boo.
However since I cannot be on a summer break now, I have decided to take a break from my busy schedule and just watch you tube all day long today. See you tomorrow. Haha.

Missing Divi!
My cousin posted a photo the other day of party favors that she had gotten for her daughter's birthday party at Manila's budget shopping haven, Divisoria and I suddenly missed going there!!! Sure, it's not the prettiest of places and it is like one big giant marketplace, but the prices sure make the trip worthwhile! When I was still teaching, I'd get birthday presents, moving up day tokens and even ballet recital gifts there at amazingly affordable prices! The best part of it all: the students would always love them! Of course, as with anything, careful caution must be observed as sometimes the stuff is not the best quality materials, teehee.Read More

Modern Day Classroom Presentations
Earlier in the trimester I encountered my first technology glitch. Let me backtrack a bit…I am one of those teachers who rely heavily on modern technology. Whether it is a powerpoint presentation, a video montage or what not, I like to use these gadgets because it serves me well. Heck, if I could use those Web To Print Workflow programs, I would create infographics and the like for notes! However, for some reason, the internet decided to fail on me in the middle of class and I could not access my dropbox account hence my presentation was lost in cyberspace! GAAAH!
But yes: modern technology almost saved me too. I borrowed a document reader, hooked it up to a projector and it was my intention to place my iphone underneath it and project it to the screen! Lucky for me, at the last minute, things fell into place! I didn't need plan B, but I sure should give it a try soon!Read More

On Picking Deals
In the past month, one of my biggest problems was my erratic internet connection. I was always a big fan of my service provider, however, as the subscribers grew, the service was not as awesome. I realized that sometimes, falling for super amazing discounts are not always the best thing. At times, a slightly more pricey yet stable offer such as those sky tv and broadband plans may be better. However, there is no guarantee all the time. What I have learned, however, is that when you pick a deal or package, it is important to ask the following questions:
1. What can you guarantee me? Sure, it may not be 100%, but up to what can I expect?
2. Should you fail to meet your commitments, how can I, the consumer, be protected?
3. When needed, am I entitled to rebates?
4. Can I opt out of contract if YOU, the provider fails me?
5. What are the means by which I can contact you?
If these questions are answered in a satisfactory manner, then this should be an indicator that this may be a risk worth taking. However, if you do not receive any reply or if the customer service as early as this part of the deal does not meet your expectations, don't bother. When I got my phone plan, I did encounter some problems but because of the customer service response, I stayed anyway. As for my internet provider, well, that's a whole other story. Har.Read More

You Tube Discoveries
My oh my. I never knew You Tube could be so informative! I always used it for just music, but these past few weeks, I've discovered a treasure trove of documentaries, learning videos and informative material. This is definitely a wonderful addition to any techie teacher's resources! I found a couple of videos that I can use for my psychology classes. Lucky for me, our classrooms have wifi that can stream the videos on demand! Woohoo.Read More

ALVA, Fla. - Lee County Firefighters say an unknown source caused a garage to catch on firem destroying a car and two golf carts inside it.
The fire broke out around 12:45 Wednesday morning. Firefighters from Fort Myers Shore, Alva and Lehigh Acres responded to the scene.
No one was injured. The family says they wouldn't be alive if not for their neighbors, who reportedly woke them, telling them to get out.
The homeowners' family is in town for a reunion, and was there to help them through the difficult sight this morning.
"It was not really easy to describe it. For one thing I was concerned for my family and their animals of course. How they were going to survive all of this. We are a pretty close family, pretty earth shattering for all of us to see it," said Karen Percha, the homeowner's sister.
A dog, two kittens, and a bird made it out alive as well.
The couple cannot stay in the home for now, according to fire officials.

text: Graham Willing to Send US Troops to Syria to Secure Chemical Weapons Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 20 Mar 2013 post a comment Amid reports that chemical weapons may have been used in Syria, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is calling for the U.S. to do whatever is necessary to secure remaining chemical weapons in that country--even if that means putting boots on the ground. Graham said he is deeply concerned that chemical weapons will used by the Assad administration or will fall into the hands "of extremists" mingled in with the Syrian opposition. He said "America needs to lead" on this. Graham made it clear that the U.S. needs to try to work with her partners to get the weapons secured. But he said that if no progress can be had through diplomacy then the U.S. must go it alone. The White House said that while it is concerned Assad could use weapons against his own people in desperation, they are still trying to evaluate whether chemical weapons were in fact used as reported. Speaking from Israel, President Obama said that for right now, "we have to make sure we know exactly what happened."

take steps towards a cure

Help Us Reach Our Goal!
On August 2nd, 2014, our family will participate in the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes in East Lansing, MI. We are asking for your help in reaching our fundraising goal - no donation is too small. All of the proceeds from our walk will help/be donated to finding a cure for Juvenile Diabetes. This disease/condition/situation affects us personally because Cody and Austin both have Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes.
Our Story
We walk for Cody (7) and Austin (9). If you see them in person, you would think they are normal, healthy kids. Both of them love playing at the beach, the playground, soccer, archery, flag football, tae kwon do, 4 wheeling, camping and bonfires and so much more. But there is more planning behind the scenes for them to do all of these activities than just fitting them in the calendar.
On November 13, 2006, two weeks before Austin's 2nd birthday, Austin went to the emergency room and found out he has Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes. On March 24, 2011, little brother Cody was also diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes after a trip to the emergency room. The results with both boys were the same: they are insulin dependent for the rest of their lives and although they look like normal, healthy kids, their lives are far from normal.
Austin and Cody are very aware of their diabetes. They will explain and talk openly about their situation. They don't fully understand what all of this means because sometimes they have to eat when they don't want to, sometimes they cannot eat when they are hungry, and before they eat anything they must check their glucose, count carbohydrates and deliver insulin to themselves - which is a challenge to them every day.
Austin and Cody monitor their blood sugar 6-10 times a day. The poke in their finger feels like a fresh paper cut every time. They each wear an insulin pump that delivers a continuous drip of insulin to them every day. Without this pump, they would each receive 18 shots in the course of 3 days.
Our Future
Cody and Austin will be insulin dependent for the rest of their lives unless we find a cure. Both boys want to live like other kids. They often say, "Diabetes is yucky and I don't want to have it!" Every day they struggle doing things they don't want to do. Every day as parents, we worry the boys may develop complications such as kidney disease, blindness, heart disease, stroke and nerve damage leading to amputation, no matter how careful they are at following their regimen. Statistically they are likely to live 15 years less than the average person.
Our only hope is a cure and your donation is where we begin!

Holiday fireworks took to the air across the metro on the 4th of July. But the preparation and set-up for most of them took hours of work, work that began in January.
"What do they got left out here to wire?" Ted Kalhoff, Regional VP of J&M Displays said.
Kalhoff was walking on the YMCA Soccer Fields in Council Bluffs, helping crews finish the set-up for Wednesday's fireworks display.
"We are swamped this time of year. Today alone we have shows going here at Harrah's, out at Champions Golf Course, Tiburon Golf Course, the City of Ralston. J&M, we have most of the big shows," said Kalhoff.
And the big shows aren't easy to set-up. He says they take 2-3 days, a lot of time and sweat, sometimes 16-17 hours days. The process involved putting explosives into tubes, then placing those tubes on wooden crates and connecting them to a cable.
"All these cables come in to one main cable that goes back to that. And that one main cable we can shoot the signals to every shell separately," said Kalhoff.
He says the process starts in January or February.
"We pick out the music. It all runs through the computer. To see what would be the best spots to put real good accents in the music. We then tie it all together in the computer," said Kalhoff.
He says he takes a lot of pride in creating a light show in the sky and sharing his love of fireworks with thousands of people.
"I think it's a lot better for the families to come to something like this. You know the household fireworks, I did them when I was a kid. But it's getting more and more dangerous," said Kalhoff.
J&M has also done all the set-up in the heat. Kalhoff says they have gone through 65 cases of water in the last two weeks. They're not finished after the 4th of July. July 5th they'll set up for the Field Club Fireworks and have the rest of baseball season to help at Werner Park.

The "Usual Suspects" That Inhibit Application Scalability
There are many "Usual suspects" to tackle when designing applications that scale well on SQL Server, including join depth and schema design, "Chatty-ness" between tiers, recompiles, latching and locking and the use of genuine set based logic, to name but a few. Moreover these issues need to be addressed in a certain order, otherwise this can result in performance glass ceilings being built into an application from day one. This information is presented in ten points in the order in which they should be addressed during an application's design and development life cycle. The points covered are more oriented towards OLTP style applications than OLAP applications.

I love all of the influence Alice in Wonderland is having lately! I've always been inspired by the style in the story. Some of the pieces in that collection are super cute. I especially love the accessories and the pops of color in each look. And most especially, those fingerless lace gloves! So pretty!

Aeterna Zentaris Inc (NASDAQ:AEZS)
A growing global biopharmaceutical company focused on endrocrine therapy and oncology, in drug discovery, development and commercialization.
I've covered the Jeremy Richards issue in my pitch on Keryx here: http://caps.fool.com/Pitch/KERX/6239054/so-far-its-been-quite-a-week-f.aspx
Both Aeterna Zentaris and Keryx have had high-profile failures in the last few years prior to the emergence of perifosine. For Aeterna is was cetrorelix and for Keryx it was Sulonex. Both companies were essentially declared non-viable by the market in early 2009 yet roared back to life. Three years later, their share prices would be decimated by the failure of perifosine but it is worthwhile to remember that each company has another pipeline candidate in the shadows waiting to assume primacy. I won't be betting on the outcome of the perifosine phase III trial, but I will look closely for an overreaction to negative perifosine news. These companies have shown an amazing ability to return from the brink of disaster.
