Due to a change in the Google login page for Brown, we've received a lot of questions about being prompted to resolve a "conflict account" after logging in. This is normal, and simply means you once accessed a Google product with your Brown email address before we started using Google at Brown.
For your privacy, Google does not automatically move any personal content into your Brown account. For that reason, you are prompted either to move content to your Brown account, or associate it with a new Gmail account or a non-Gmail personal email address. The decision you make is personal and depends on the type of content and what you intend to do with it.
For detailed information and instructions, see our page on resolving conflicting accounts.

The 24-hour hackathon Hack@Brown starts at 4:30pm today (January 24th) with about 300 student participants. For more information, see the press release or the event's website.
Brown is participating in National Data Privacy Month from January 28th-February 28th, 2014. While not as an intensive campaign as we do each October for Cyber Security Month, there are still opportunities to hear from experts, learn how to protect your individual privacy online, and view an intriguing documentary. More on that later.
Privacy is a large concern to many people, and with so much of our lives and actions online, protecting one's privacy is becoming increasingly more difficult. I'm sure that you are all aware of the breach of credit cards and personal information from Target, and maybe even have been directly impacted by it. With more and more information being made available by the company, it is now considered the largest breach in the history of personal data. While we laugh that it is no surprise given the name "target", it is no laughing matter. Many of the victims have had their finances, credit and personal lives negatively impacted. Sadly, attacks such as this will continue, as the value of the data continues to increase.
Maintaining your privacy takes effort, and the ISG is here to help. With webpages offering advice, a national webcast on January 30th by Robert Ellis Smith (the nation's leading privacy advocate), and an ISG brown bag lunch February 24 on "Your Life Online", you have opportunities over the next few weeks to gain insight and knowledge on not only protecting your privacy, but what to do if your information is leaked.
We will also be providing a screening of an intriguing documentary called Terms and Conditions May Apply. Including a Q&A session afterwards with leading members of the Brown community in this area, it will be both an eye-opening and valuable night. I hope that you can attend. Details at brown.edu/go/TACMA.
As always, I welcome your comments and feedback. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com, or the group at email@example.com. Let me know how we are doing, areas of concern you may have, or questions on protecting your identity, privacy or personal computing security. And remember, sec_rity is not complete without U!
Think you may have been part of a security breach affecting Target or other retailers? ISG recommends that, whether or not you might have been a victim, there are a few things you can do to protect your identity as well as financial reputation.
Keep an eye on your bank account statements
Most banking institutions allow you to set alerts for unusual activity, so that information is pushed to you rather than your needing to remember to log into your account everyday. Jay Gatten of The Human Defense suggests having a text sent to you for any transaction (including cash withdrawals) over $100 (or whatever amount you are most comfortable with).
Debit or Credit?
Gatten as well as others also recommend not using your debit card as a debit card, since its PIN could be captured when slid or inserted in a rogue POS (point of sale) device. Instead, use credit cards whenever possible, which allow you to use the bank's money until you pay it back. This is the reason they will take immediate action if there is a chance of credit card fraud. (Watch this recent news story for more on debit versus credit.) Another alternative: use cash whenever possible, such as at gas stations.
Order free credit reports
An amendment to the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act requires each of the three major nationwide consumer reporting companies (Equifax, Experian and Trans Union) to provide you with a free copy of your credit report, at your request, once every 12 months. This means you can track request a report every four months. You can order reports at www.AnnualCreditReport.com.
FTC & Identity Theft
Contact the FTC (www.consumer.gov/idtheft) if you see and suspicious activity. More about identity theft at http://brown.edu/go/identitytheft.
Beware phishing attempts
Some of the expected fallout from the recent breaches is phishy emails, text or even phone calls to those whose personal information was stolen. Because of this, be extra vigilant for anything that doesn't quite seem right. Learn how to spot a phish at www.brown.edu/go/phishing. Unfortunately, the "Important message from Target to our guests" email that was sent mid-January looks a bit phishy. What do you think they could have done better? On the plus side, the letters did contain helpful recommendations, much like what was contained here. But it also included an offer for a free credit report that some have found confusing or are unable to act upon since they don't have email and access to the Internet.
Home networks were relatively simple several years ago, perhaps nothing more than a wireless access point and a computer or two used to surf the Internet or play games online. However, home networks have become increasingly complex. Not only are we connecting more devices to our home networks, but we are doing more things with them. In this edition we will cover some basic steps to creating a more secure home network.
Your Wireless Network
Almost every home network starts with a wireless network (sometimes called a Wi-Fi network). This is what enables you to wirelessly connect any of your devices to the Internet, from laptops and tablets to gaming consoles and televisions. For this to happen, your wireless network needs something called a wireless access point. This is a physical device that connects to your Internet router (or may be built into your Internet router) and sends out a wireless signal that your devices connect to. Once your devices connect to the access point, they can then connect to other devices on your home network and the Internet. As a result, your wireless access point is one of the key parts of your home network. As such, we recommend the following steps to securing it:
- For most wireless access points, the default administrator login and password is well-known and often even posted on the Internet. As such, be sure to change the default administrator login and password to something that only you know. Make sure that it is a unique password and is not used for any of your other accounts.
- Another option you will need to configure is the name of your wireless network (sometimes called your SSID). This is the name your devices will see when they search for local wireless networks. Give your network name something unique so you can easily identify it, but make sure it does not contain any personal information. Also, there is little value in configuring your network as hidden (or non-broadcast). Most wireless scanning tools or any skilled attacker can easily discover the details of a hidden network.
- The next step is ensuring that only people you know and trust can connect to and use your wireless network, and that those connections are encrypted. You want to be sure that neighbors or strangers cannot connect to or monitor your network. You can easily mitigate these risks by enabling strong security on your wireless access point. Currently, the best option is to use the security mechanism WPA2. By simply enabling this, you require a password for people to connect to your home network and, once authenticated, those connections are encrypted. Be sure you do not use older, outdated security methods such as WEP, or no security at all (which is called an open network). An open network allows anyone to connect to your wireless network without any authentication.
- Make sure the password people will use to connect to your wireless network is a strong, hard-to-guess password and that it is different from the administrator password. Remember, you most likely have to enter the password only once for each of your devices, as they will each store and remember the password.
- Many wireless access points support what is called a Guest Network. A Guest Network allows visitors to connect to your wireless access point and access the Internet, but they cannot connect to any of the devices on your home network. If you add a Guest Network, be sure to enable WPA2 and a different password for this network.
- If you can't remember the different passwords then use a password manager to securely store them.
Open DNS
Once you have your wireless network configured, we recommend you configure your home network to use OpenDNS as your DNS servers (or a similar service, such as Norton ConnectSafe for Home). When you type a name into your browser, DNS is how your browser knows which server on the Internet to connect to. Services such as OpenDNS identify known, infected websites and stop any device connected to your home wireless network from accidentally visiting these infected websites. In addition, these services often give you the ability to filter and block objectionable websites. What makes this approach so effective is there is no software to install on your devices, you just make a change to your wireless access point.
Your Devices
The next step involves knowing what is connected to your home network and making sure those devices are secure. This used to be simple, as you only had a few devices connected in the past. Nowadays, however, almost anything can connect to your home network, including TVs, gaming consoles, baby monitors, speakers, your house thermometer and even your car. Once you identify all the devices on your home network, you may be surprised by just how many you have. The best way to keep all of these devices secure is to ensure they are always running the latest version of their operating system. Be sure you have auto-update enabled when possible. If this is not an option, then review and update your devices monthly, if possible. In addition, be sure to visit your Internet service provider's website, as they may provide free tools and services to help you secure your home network.

Keep up with alerts and tips from the Information Security Group by following us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/ISGatBrown and https://twitter.com/CISOatBrownU. Here's a sample of a recent tweet so you can see what you're missing:
ISG @ Brown @ISGatBrown: Do you know your #privacy IQ? 10 quick Q's to find out, brought to you by StaySafeOnline & ZeroKnowledgePrivacy.org: http://myprivacyiq.com/
If you are new to Brown or missed ISG's earlier announcements, we recommend that you install and run Identity Finder, a useful addition to anyone's security toolkit. It allows you to scan your computer for any sensitive information that might be stored on it -- such as social security numbers or passwords -- and then take appropriate measures to either secure or remove it.
The enterprise version is available to all active faculty and staff from CIS's software download pages. In addition, students and home users can install a free version available on the Identity Finder website on their personal computers to perform basic search and remediation. More robust personal versions are also available.
ISG recommends that you install and periodically run Identity Finder to detect and secure sensitive data on your computer, which will help protect you from identity theft. More information is available in the Identity Finder FAQ.
Please note: If you already have Identity Finder installed but haven't used it in awhile, you will be asked to update to version 6.2, which is available for download from CIS' Software Distribution site (downloads for Windows andMacintosh are available). Note you will need to delete your current client before installing the new version.
Is your mobile phone number in MyAccount? Not only is a mobile phone number important for emergency notifications, but it can also be used to reset a forgotten password for your Brown username by following the Forgot Password link on most Brown login pages. Enter your mobile phone number at http://brown.edu/myaccount today, and don't forget to put a password lock on your phone to stay secure.
Maybe you've been meaning to make your password more secure but are afraid you'll forget it. With this new feature, if you forget your strong password, you can always reset it yourself instead of having to visit the Computing Accounts and Passwords office in person. We recommend choosing a 10 character (or longer) password.
This video shows how the new self-service password reset works:

Dave Barnhouse Art Print "The Gathering Place".
The charm of rural Americana is an obvious inspiration for Barnhouse's "The Gathering Place"! Barnhouse says of this scene, "My neighbors, the Amish, have always fascinated me. I admire their strong work ethic, their creativity and their close sense of community. At the weekly auction livestock, quilts and handmade furniture changes hands. Perhaps more importantly neighbors share stories from the previous week."
Dave Barnhouse treasures his country background, and it shows in his distinctive style! Every piece he creates recalls his fond memories of rural and small town America... and makes the viewer feel a sudden, delightful rush of country memories. Dave's art has earned many awards and honors. He has been voted one of America's most popular artists by U.S. ART Magazine, and was twice included in Inform Art's "Top Ten Hottest Artists" list.
He is quoted as saying, "I want my art to make people feel as if they were back home on a Friday evening, so they can experience the warmth of a cozy fire and smell the homemade bread and cookies coming from the oven," he says. You'll agree that it does that and more each time you enjoy it on the wall of your home or cabin! A biography of Dave Barnhouse is included with every Print you order from the Guide. Made in the USA. Measures 17 x 27.

I read!
And I like it.
This is true.
Therefore, it is a hobby.
:satisfied: 21 months ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

OK, I don't do the crossword everyday but I do enjoy it and do it whenever I can, so that makes it a hobby!
I'm going to broaden my crossword reach to crosswords from different newspapers. 2 years ago
I would love to have a hobby, that I would look forward to and that would bring me a joy.
My hobby should:
- be creative;
- make me do some manual work;
- connect me with a people;
- be transferable;
I´ve got a plenty of a short term hobbies since childhood. Most of them are already forgotten, but I´ll try to analyze, what did I like about them and whether I should continue in it again.
My "use-to-have" hobbies:
- playing piano – not a big success,I quit after two years and i still regret that :( Last year I bought a flexible piano, but I do not practice at all and probably I´ve forgotten even how to play Twinkle, twinkle little star…
- aquarium – I used to have aquarium with fish and turtles since childhood. I didn´t have a time for it during the university studies and had to give it away. I started this hobby again one year ago – and it makes me happy;
- collecting whatever – oh, I loved collecting when I was a child! I was collecting postcards, napkins, coins, cards, chewing-gum comics… Now I´m still a collector, but most of all I´m "collecting" books :)
- go fishing – well, my father use to make me go fishing with him when I was a child… I considered it really boring. Now I try to go with him fishing at least once a year and it is a great relax – because all I have to do is sit near the water and relax :)
- crocheting – I use to do this when I was a child, but now, when everything can be bought I just don´t know why to do it…I crocheted some small presents for my friends, but now I have no plan what to do..
- travelling? oh I love that a lot, but is it a hobby?
- watching series and movies? – I do that very often..
- surfing internet? :)
I know… what about cooking? or baking? or stain glassing? 2 years ago
How I did it: I had a lot of time on my hands over a long summer break aand was getting really bored. A friend of a friend was always knitting really cute clothes for her kids so I thought that would be a good thing to try, as my mum can knit so can help me out when i get stuck. So I enlisted her help, we went to a craft shop and bought a pattern, needles and wool. That was 6 weeks ago and I have now made my daughter 2 cardigans and a sweater and am considering making myself something next. Seeing someone wearing something you made is very satisfying and it makes me feel quite proud! Read how I did it… 3 years ago
I use to study art and design years ago..I'm thinking creating a portfolio of drawings. I would like to take art lesson. 3 years ago

Dear Em & Lo,
Five-ish months ago, I broke up with my first boyfriend. Obviously, there were problems, but it was a really significant relationship. And, there were some really great things about it: the sex; the emotional and intellectual chemistry; feeling sexy, attractive, and flirty; etc.
About two months post-break up, I figured it was time to re-enter the dating pool. I didn't want to lose the "I'm sexy, attractive, and flirty" feeling I had in the relationship. But, the more I dated, the more crazy, desperate, and insecure I became. Also, the more I dated, the more I missed the ex. I figured it was in my best interest to stop dating, truly get over the ex, and be alone until I was okay being alone.
I sort of miss the ex from time to time, but that's pretty much over. However, I really hate this being alone stuff. So, my question(s) for you is this: How do you re-enter the dating pool? How do you get out of the I'm-lonely-and-just-want-someone-to-cuddle-with phase and back into the how-many-men-can-I-seduce-tonight mode?

TORONTO -- Kobe Bryant came up one assist shy of a triple-double. He did have one turnover because he couldn't control his dribble with his fractured right index finger, but considering Phil Jackson believes the finger bothers Bryant most on ball-handling and passing, getting nine assists is pretty good.
Bryant -- again -- had to answer a question postgame about the idea of sitting out to heal the finger.
"That should be the last of our concerns," Bryant said.
There was no surprise with Artest, meanwhile, not wanting to talk much about his plantar fasciitis either. It's there, it's getting treated and it's an excuse Artest doesn't want to use. Yes, we get that by now, don't we?
"I don't like excuses," Artest said.
These injuries for Bryant and Artest definitely affect them, but what affects the team much more -- in my opinion -- is a general complacency that is hardly uncommon for a defending champion to work through.

Source: Pediatrics
By: Opel, Douglas J. ; Heritage, John ; Taylor, James A.
Researchers analyzed 111 provider-parent vaccine discussions involving 16 providers from nine practices, half of which involved vaccine-hesitant parents (VHPs). They found that 74 percent of providers used presumptive formats instead of participatory formats to initiate vaccine recommendations. This means providers generally said something like, "Well, we have to do some shots," instead of asking, "What do you want to do about shots?" VHPs accounted for most of the 41 percent of parents who showed resistance to provider initiation. Researchers found that parents were more likely to resist vaccine recommendations when providers used a participatory initiation format. Half of the providers pushed their original recommendation when parents resisted, and 47 percent of parents then accepted the provider's recommendation. The researchers concluded that parental vaccine acceptance is affected by how vaccine recommendations are initiated and pursued by providers.

Visit follows Massachusetts securing more than $450 million in federal funds to improve public education; Governor allocates an additional $5.26 million for Springfield schools
Governor Deval Patrick joins 4,000 Springfield students, teachers, principals and families at their annual summer convocation in preparation for the new school year. (Photo credit: Matt Bennett/Governor's Office)
SPRINGFIELD - Friday, August 27, 2010 - Governor Deval Patrick today celebrated a week of significant education victories for Massachusetts with 4,000 Springfield students, teachers, principals and families at their annual summer convocation in preparation for the new school year.
The Governor's visit followed Tuesday's announcement by the U.S. Department of Education that Massachusetts achieved the highest score in the national Race to the Top competition, securing $250 million in funds to implement landmark education reforms. On Wednesday, Governor Patrick allocated $204 million from the federal Education Jobs Fund to school districts across the state, bringing state support for public education to historic levels. Springfield schools will receive an additional $5.26 million in the upcoming academic year in order to save an estimated 102 teaching positions.
"This has been a momentous week for our students, our teachers and our future," said Governor Patrick. "More than $450 million in federal funds will combine with significant state support for public education to lift up all of our children and finally close the achievement gap. Students and teachers here in Springfield and in communities across the Commonwealth are about to embark on a school year that will be marked by historic reforms and high standards. I wish you all success, and will be standing with you to ensure that every student receives the quality education they deserve."
"The Governor and I have made it clear from day one that it is a top priority of our administration to build an education system that meets the needs of all students and propels them to higher academic achievement," said Lieutenant Governor Timothy Murray. "We have set high goals for our students and are committed to providing increased support to teachers and schools."
Governor Patrick learned on Tuesday that Massachusetts earned the highest score in the nation for the state's Phase 2 Race to the Top proposal and the maximum award of $250 million. The funds will be utilized to build a statewide data system that will allow for better use of student test information to drive improvements in instruction and evaluate teacher and principal effectiveness and to increase the state's efforts in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) education to provide more training for teachers and more opportunities for students, among many other initiatives.
On Wednesday, Governor Patrick announced that he allocated $204 million from the federal Education Jobs Fund to school districts across the Commonwealth, bringing state support for public schools to its highest level in history. A combination of state and federal dollars totaling $4.07 billion will ensure all school districts receive more state aid - at least $25 per student - than they did last year. The new funding will support an estimated 2,700 teaching positions.
The Springfield Public Schools is one of 275 school districts across the state that agreed to participate in the Race to the Top program and will work to adopt many of the policies outlined in the Massachusetts proposal. Springfield and the other school districts are currently working with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (ESE) to build their local adoption plan for Race to the Top.
Additionally, with the Governor's announced allocation of Education Jobs Funds, Springfield will see an increase of $25 per pupil in Fiscal Year 2011, bringing their total state budget to over $273 million. The Governor's direction of Education Jobs Funds to Springfield combined with support through the Chapter 70 state education budget and existing federal stimulus dollars will allow Springfield to fund an additional 102 teaching positions this year.
Springfield Superintendent of Schools Dr. Alan J. Ingram said the announcements, made within two days of each other, made this a "great week" for Springfield. "The fact that Springfield is getting these substantial resources means that we will not only have better leverage for programs already underway that address student achievement, but we will now be able to expand on other strategies that will help us improve our school system for all students. It's a great lead in to the 2010 school year."
The combination of state and federal funding for public education in Springfield was recently bolstered when the Governor and ESE announced that Springfield will receive an additional $2.26 million in School Turnaround Grants to help their planning and implementing of new education reform strategies at the M. Marcus Kiley Middle School.
"We are on the move in Massachusetts and poised to improve on our already high achievement," said Education Secretary Paul Reville, who joined the Governor at the convocation. "We have made decisions based on what we know is best for students and will continue our efforts to support teachers and families in their work to improve education for our students."

- Sometimes life seems hard to bear
Full of sorrow, trouble and woe
It's then we have to remember
That it's in the valley we grow.
If we always stayed on the mountain top
And never experienced pain,
We would never appreciate God's love
And would be living in vain.
We have so much to learn
And our growth is very slow,
Sometimes we need the mountain tops,
But it's in the valley we grow.
We do not always understand
Why things happen as they do,
But I am very sure of one thing
My Lord will see me through.
The little valleys are nothing
When we picture Christ on the cross
He went through the valley of death
His victory was Satan's loss.
Forgive me Lord, for complaining
When I'm feeling so very low.
Just give me a gentle reminder
That it's in the valleys I grow.
Continue to strengthen me, Lord
And use my life each day
To share your love with others
And help them find their way.
Thank you for the valleys, Lord
For this one thing I know
The mountain tops are glorious
But it's in the valleys I grow.

Agave syrup
Agave syrup is the cooked down juice of the agave, a genus of spiny, perennial plants native to Mexico. It is a more reduced, thicker and sweeter version of agave nectar. Agave syrup is moderately sweet, and can be used in place of honey.
Agave nectar is not as sweet as honey, with a delicate, floral-vegetal overtone. It lacks the midpalate breadth that honey has, and has a short finish so that it seems more transparent. It can be substituted easily for simple syrup in most applications.

Franklin County commissioners voted reluctantly Wednesday morning to approve the monthly service charge increase to $62.50 — up from the current charge of $47.
"This was never foreseen to happen this way," Commissioner Don Stottlemire said before making the motion to approve the increase. "I hate that we have to do this, but we have to keep providing the service."
The over-projected growth of Centropolis laid out problems from the beginning, Walrod, county planning and building director, said.
"If there isn't funding available because it was never properly funded initially, there's shortfalls," Walrod said. "It was bound that this was going to happen when we didn't get residential growth projected for the area and a fairly high delinquency rate — close to 10 percent."
Another issue adding complications was the lack of funds budgeted for maintenance and repairs for the Centropolis sewer district when it was first formed, he said.
"There have been no provisions for maintenance or restructuring of the district, so all of these collectively have had an impact," Walrod said. "We're out of money [for Centropolis] and we do not have the capabilities of extending this to the general public under the general fund to support a special district. It's unfortunate."
County commissioners voted recently to replace the two grinder pumps for the sewer system, Walrod said, and there wasn't money in the budget for those improvements.
The increase in monthly service charges will only allow for the budget for the Centropolis sewer district to break even, he said, leaving nothing left over for any unforeseen circumstances.
"It's not going to put in a capital improvement budget," Walrod said. "It will be a bare bones, break-even budget that's going to be sufficient for what the very minimum amount of maintenance will be required, but there will be nothing left over for replacements. So if there's anything like that, we're going to have to look at something differently."
The new service fees won't go into effect until Jan. 1, 2014, he said. Unless the district sees a rise in residential growth and a drop in delinquency tax rates, the operational budget will continue to be overdrawn, he said.
"When this budget comes up every year, [the commission] is going to have to take a look and see where we stand with this budget and that's a must," Walrod said. "We have to track it very carefully so we can avoid getting into the same situation we're currently locked in today."

Hi ladies, I didn't know where to post this... I haven't been posting very reguarly in the TTC threads, just the Baby Chat area, so many of you probably don't know me. I got a BFP! YAY! I am very cautiously optimistic, having had three m/c's before Eliza (DD, almost 3), but still, those two pretty pink lines are sure a sight to see and have made me quite happy already
We hadn't been using any form of BC since AF returned at 2 years PP, but we didn't have good timing (weren't really trying, just NPP then) until the last three or maybe four cycles. I feel so very lucky to be able to get PG again, especially given that Eliza is still nursing like 3 times a day. I had wondered if that would interfere with getting pg again.
My EDD if this one sticks is 5/21/13, which is my mom's birthday! So I'm taking it as a good sign

Attraction Details :
It is situated at Ban Ku, Mu 2, Tambon Sa Khu. Ku Phra Kona comprises three east-facing brick prangs lying in the north – south direction, standing on a single sandstone base. They are surrounded by a boundary wall, with entrance pavilions or Gopuras in four directions; all were made from sandstone.
The central prang was renovated in 1874 by plastering and making the roof into tiers. Each tier has niches of Buddha images in four directions. The front of the central prang was a 'wihan' of the Buddha's footprint, decorated with the original six-headed Naga. The other two prangs were also renovated, but they remain in their usual styles; unlike the central prang which has been considerably changed. The northern prang was covered with a 'sala' building providing shelter for a gable depicting the Ramayana. Meanwhile, the lintel carving that represents the reclining Vishnu remains in situ above the front entrance. The lintel of the western false door was laid on the floor; it depicts the God Vishnu on his mount Garuda. The southern prang still has lintels above the false doors. The one in the north depicts a deity kneeling inside a stylised arch above the Kala face. In front, there is also a fallen lintel depicting the God Siva on his bull. There are also some causeway boundary stones lying over there. It is assumed that Ku Phra Kona formerly had a Naga bridge and causeway lined with boundary stones on both sides from the front entrance pavilion (Gopura) to the lake (Baray), which was located about 300 metres away. All sculptural features suggest that Ku Phra Kona probably dates from the Baphoun period, or the 11th Century.
To get there: It is 60 km. from Mueang district along Highway No. 215, passing Mueang Suang and Suwannaphum districts. Then, take Highway No. 214 for 12 km. Ku Phra Kona will be on the left-hand side. There is a rubber plantation at the entrance and a lot of monkeys residing in the temple.

Free Solar
I found it! An Affordable Solar System.
One of the wealthiest people in America has put together a program offering Zero Down Payment Solar that reduces you monthly electric power bill and locks in your costs while over riding APS rate increases. Why? Because he believes that with today's technology everyone should be able to use solar to power their home regardless of their ability to pay the initial cost. You don't need to pay and wait for the rebates and tax credits. The company does.
Systems are sized to fit your consumption. They are designed specifically for your home. Your monthly power costs go down immediately.
If you are interested in saving money monthly and reducing your carbon footprint, now is the time to act while rebates and tax incentives are still available in Arizona.
We need to get off our dependence on foreign oil and reduce the need to go to war over it once and for all.
We are installing a system on our home and will save thousands over the life of the program. It feels good to know you are doing something that is right for your finances and our planet. At this price there in no reason not to do it. With 300 days of pure sunshine there is no reason not to do it.
Start by calling me to get moving toward energy independence.

JP Morgan Making a Fortune Off of American Poverty
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Earnings and bonus reports are rolling in and the big, bailed-out banks are back in the black. In 2010, total compensation and benefits at publicly traded Wall Street banks and securities firms hit a record of $135 billion -- up almost six percent from 2009 according to the Wall Street Journal. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon may take home the biggest bonus check, an eye-popping $17 million.
While the Wall Street economy is booming, the real economy is in a dead stall. Only 36,000 jobs were created in January 2011. A roundup of recent headlines shines a light on how big banks like JPMorgan Chase make their big bucks.
No Saving Private Ryan
U.S. foreclosure filings are projected to reach 9 million in 2011. An increasing number of the foreclosed are U.S. service members even though they have access to special protections and programs. USA Today reports that foreclosure filings near military bases jumped 32 percent since 2008. More than 20,000 veterans, reservists and active-duty troops lost the homes to foreclosure in 2010, the highest number since 2003. This report comes hard on the heels of an NBC expose showing that JPMorgan Chase illegally overcharged 4,000 active service members for their mortgages improperly foreclosing on a number of them.
Diane Thompson from the National Consumer Law Center points out that big banks and mortgage service firms have perverse financial incentives that spur them to foreclose. "The servicer's expenses, other than the financing costs associated with advances, will be paid first out of the proceeds of a foreclosure. . . Whether and when costs are recovered in a modification is more uncertain."
In other words, big banks and mortgage firms are rushing to kick American families to the curb to pocket more fees. Thanks for the service boys!
Profiting on Poverty
In these hard times, some 43 million American families rely on food stamps. To the surprise of many, JPMorgan Chase is the largest processor of food stamp benefits in the United States. The bank is contracted to provide food stamp debit cards in 26 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
The firm is paid per customer. This means that when the number of food stamp recipients goes up, so do JPMorgan profits. Talk about perverse incentives. JPMorgan is taking its responsibility to keep the U.S. unemployment rate high by offshoring the servicing of many of these contracts to India, according to ABC News.
Michael Snyder of the Seeking Alpha blog put it best: "There are just some things that are a little too creepy to be outsourced to private corporations."
Aiding and Abetting Bernie Madoff
According to documents in a lawsuit made public Thursday, senior executives at JPMorgan Chase expressed doubts about Bernie Madoff's miraculous investment returns more than 18 months before Madoff's Ponzi scheme collapsed, but continued to serve as his primary bank and failed to report him to federal authorities.
The lawsuit was filed against JPMorgan and other firms by the bankruptcy trustee gathering assets for Madoff's victims. The suit alleges that JPMorgan allowed Madoff to move billions of dollars of investors' cash in and out of his bank accounts right until the day of his arrest even though there were an abundance of red flags.
The bank "had only to glance at the bizarre activity" in the Madoff accounts "to realize that Madoff was not operating a legitimate business," the trustee asserts. The unusual activity should have tripped the banks anti-money laundering software. The suit also alleges J.P. Morgan was creating products to leverage off of this relationship with Madoff. JP Morgan denies any wrongdoing.

Most people are suffering from one or the other type of depression, one acute, the other chronic. The condition is so controlling and so painful, and the depressed person so needful, that skilled help is essential. Most counsellors who use "talking out things" as their therapy are used to dealing with depression and anxiety. However, for many people, talk therapy can seem to take forever; and, often, even when the reasons for the depression are known, the depression symptoms remain." What is depression? How does it affect people? Depression is not "the blues." Feeling blue is a temporary condition. Depression seems like it will never end and if not treated can get worse. It can last for weeks or months--even many years. Long-term depression is insidious because it can give rise to other conditions and symptoms, some of which can be very serious even life thrusting.
Chronic depression can lead to loss of memory, loss of appetite (or a ravenous appetite), nutritional deficiencies and physical problems. It can lead to difficulty in thinking ahead, procrastination over even small tasks, feelings of great sadness that never lift and tremendous guilt: "How can I feel this way when I have everything -a good home, a good family, etc."
Depression can lead to daily suicidal thoughts. Depressed people often dislike being with other people, in part because they fear that the serious nature of their depression will be discovered. This can develop into full-blown agoraphobia, where the sufferer cannot stand to be outside at all and therefore becomes more and more isolated. The irony is that a depressed person needs the help of others, badly. Yet, they find it difficult to reach out for the help that could save them. The embarrassment and guilt, plus belief that others don't understand what's happening to them, sends out negative energy that repulses others, and, thus, increases the depressed person's isolation. . Loved ones who must deal with a depressed spouse, parent or friend find themselves very frustrated. If they have never experienced depression themselves, they are inclined to make suggestions about exercising, getting out more, finding things to do, see a doctor, etc.
Sleep is one of the biggest problems for a depressed person. Some sleep all day and others become unable to sleep at all. A visit to the doctor will start will sleeping pills and then move into the taking of depression drugs. The question is when do you deal the tactual problem and how?
Treating depression with hypnotherapy.
More frequently than not, debilitating events, hurts or negative evaluations are absorbed by and buried in the subconscious memory. The victim is totally unaware of the sources of these troubled feelings, fears, self-doubt and depression. Other than temporary "blues," or depression due to being caught in the midst of what seems like an unending problem, the causes of most chronic depression lie hidden. They are like the center of an onion. Layers of denial and other experiences have grown one on top of the other over a period of time, obscuring the root causes of depression. This is where hypnotherapy comes into play and works the best.
To get to the heart of depression, these layers need to be peeled away, one by one, and each successive layer tenderly cared for until it is time to move on to the next. Peeling is healing. Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy can help the "peeling" process move more quickly, and easily, than traditional talk therapy. Through hypnotherapy it is possible to set aside the conscious mind so that a person can seek, locate and uncover detrimental memories that adversely affect their personality. In discovering and understanding such problems, people are freed from the past and are helped to open new doors for opportunity and health. Hypnotherapy can help with many aspects of depression. It is not intended to replace counselling or medication, nor is it a "magic wand" that miraculously causes all symptoms to evaporate. Yet, it can be a very powerful therapy, for many reasons.
Hypnosis can help a person function with less medication or, possibly, do without medication, entirely. It can help speed the healing of physical issues. It can assist a person to find the motivation to take actions and to make decisions. It can change negative talk and cynicism into positive affirmations for a better life.
In summary, hypnosis, along with counselling, can be used, effectively, in releasing a person from acute and long-term depression. Hypnosis can be used to build self-esteem, encourage decisions and actions, and turn a negative life-approach to a positive one. It can help a person deal with fears and phobias, assist their body in becoming stronger, and help them toward building better personal relationships. Hypnotic methods can assist the client to deal with many other symptoms they may have exhibited. Most important of all, releasing the hold of the past over the person's current life allows all of the above to fall into place, far more readily and easily.

Some Ad Agencies Realizing ŌĆśYou DonŌĆÖt Have to Buy Conde NastŌĆÖ
Will publisherŌĆÖs refusal to budge on prices hurt company long-term?
That magazine ad pages are down is not news. That they are down in January is not news either, considering itŌĆÖs always a slow month for ad sales, and many publishers close their January books in October and NovemberŌĆöwhen the reality of the U.S. financial crisis was setting in.
What is news is how a publisher like Cond├® Nast deals with such a decline.
According to the New York Times, AllureŌĆÖs January ŌĆś09 issue saw a decline in ad pages of 41 percent. Cond├® NastŌĆÖs tech title, Wired, took the worst hit of all, down 47 percent from a year ago to 43.6 ad pages, while Architectural Digest fell 46 percent, to 63.2, from 116.8. Vogue and Lucky were both down about 44 percent.
When ads decline this sharply, some publishers resort to price reductions to entice advertisers to commit to buying pages. Not Cond├® Nast.
┬ĀŌĆ£The problem now is that some advertising agencies have come to realize that with the unnegotiability of Cond├® NastŌĆÖs titles,ŌĆØ Steve Greenberger, chief executive of the advertising firm S. R. Greenberger & Associates, told the Times. ŌĆ£And the broader demographic group that are associated with the more mid- and downscale brands, you donŌĆÖt have to buy Cond├® Nast ŌĆ" You can buy WomenŌĆÖs Day, you can buy Parents. You can buy around it.ŌĆØ
While advertisers may be put off by Cond├®ŌĆÖs inability to adapt to the current economic climate, Jack Hanrahan, publisher of the newsletter CircMatters, said that Cond├® Nast had a smart long-term strategy: ŌĆ£[ItŌĆÖs] a fair approach to pricing and not this ŌĆśIŌĆÖll do anything to get a schedule,ŌĆÖ which others do ŌĆö and, I think, have paid for it. ŌĆ" In a negotiation environment, youŌĆÖd be better off taking the hit now with regard to paging, but preserving your well-established, in their case long-term.ŌĆØ
It remains to be seen whether or not Cond├® NastŌĆÖs strategy of┬Ā ŌĆ£taking the hit nowŌĆØ will pay off in the long run. Or will more agencies discover that they can get more (or the same) bang for their buck with Cond├®ŌĆÖs (public) competitors like Time Inc. and American Media?

Mango butter is obtained from the kernels of the mango tree. It has a high content of stearic acid which makes it similar to cocoa butter. Mango butter has good emolliency and lends protection against the sun. It is said to prevent drying of the skin and formation of wrinkles. Mango butter also reduces degeneration of skin cells and restores elasticity. Mango butter's hardness makes it a great butter for stick formulations such as lip balm and lotion bars. It can be used "as is" to provide relief from the dryness of eczema and psoriasis.

A Millionaire with a Super Yacht Is a Larger Strain on Resources Than Hundreds of Peasant Families

It's no coincidence that most of those who are obsessed with population growth are post-reproductive wealthy white men: it's about the only environmental issue for which they can't be blamed. The brilliant earth systems scientist James Lovelock, for example, claimed last month that "those who fail to see that population growth and climate change are two sides of the same coin are either ignorant or hiding from the truth. These two huge environmental problems are inseparable and to discuss one while ignoring the other is irrational." But it's Lovelock who is being ignorant and irrational.
A paper published yesterday in the journal Environment and Urbanization shows that the places where population has been growing fastest are those in which carbon dioxide has been growing most slowly, and vice versa. Between 1980 and 2005, for example, Sub-Saharan Africa produced 18.5% of the world's population growth and just 2.4% of the growth in CO2. North America turned out 4% of the extra people, but 14% of the extra emissions. Sixty-three per cent of the world's population growth happened in places with very low emissions.
Even this does not capture it. The paper points out that around one sixth of the world's population is so poor that it produces no significant emissions at all. This is also the group whose growth rate is likely to be highest. Households in India earning less than 3,000 rupees a month use a fifth of the electricity per head and one seventh of the transport fuel of households earning Rs30,000 or more. Street sleepers use almost nothing. Those who live by processing waste (a large part of the urban underclass) often save more greenhouse gases than they produce.
Many of the emissions for which poorer countries are blamed should in fairness belong to us. Gas flaring by companies exporting oil from Nigeria, for example, has produced more greenhouse gases than all other sources in sub-Saharan Africa put together. Even deforestation in poor countries is driven mostly by commercial operations delivering timber, meat and animal feed to rich consumers. The rural poor do far less harm.
The paper's author, David Satterthwaite, points out that the old formula taught to all students of development -- that total impact equals population times affluence times technology (I=PAT) -- is wrong. Total impact should be measured as I=CAT: consumers times affluence times technology. Many of the world's people use so little that they wouldn't figure in this equation. They are the ones who have most children.
While there's a weak correlation between global warming and population growth, there's a strong correlation between global warming and wealth. I've been taking a look at a few superyachts, as I'll need somewhere to entertain Labour ministers in the style to which they're accustomed. First I went through the plans for Royal Falcon Fleet's RFF135, but when I discovered that it burns only 750 litres of fuel per hour I realised that it wasn't going to impress Lord Mandelson. I might raise half an eyebrow in Brighton with the Overmarine Mangusta 105, which sucks up 850 l/hr. But the raft that's really caught my eye is made by Wally Yachts in Monaco. The WallyPower 118 (which gives total wallies a sensation of power) consumes 3400 l/hr when travelling at 60 knots. That's nearly one litre per second. Another way of putting it is 31 litres per kilometre.
Of course to make a real splash I'll have to shell out on teak and mahogany fittings, carry a few jet skis and a mini-submarine, ferry my guests to the marina by private plane and helicopter, offer them bluefin tuna sushi and beluga caviar and drive the beast so fast that I mash up half the marine life of the Mediterranean. As the owner of one of these yachts I'll do more damage to the biosphere in ten minutes than most Africans inflict in a lifetime. Now we're burning, baby.

The six people killed and 23 wounded across the city in shootings from Friday night through Sunday remind us we can't let up in the struggle for sensible gun laws.
On Monday, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart urged more police departments to take advantage of the federal system to track guns used in crimes. Durbin said he is introducing legislation to give police departments that don't participate in the system, called eTrace, an incentive to do so.
When guns used in crimes are traced to the source, it not only helps track down criminals but also identifies trafficking patterns. Anything that helps police understand how guns get into the hands of criminals makes our streets safer.
Unfortunately, only about 4,700 of the roughly 18,000 law enforcement agencies across the county participate in eTrace. Many of them are smaller departments that don't view tracing firearms as a priority, Durbin said.
In a process that Durbin calls "easy and free," police using eTrace send in the name of the manufacturer, the model and the serial number to the National Tracing Center, which can trace the gun back to the first legal purchaser.
The more that police use eTrace, the better understanding they get of gun traffkicking and the more clues they get about how criminals obtain guns, said Jens Ludwig, director of the University of Chicago Crime Lab.
To get more police departments to sign up, Durbin's bill would give preference for federal grants to police to departments that use eTrace.
"I can't tell you what a valuable tool this is," Dart said Monday. "If you're opposed to this, you are for criminals. It is really that simple."
By itself, Durbin's bill won't close the loopholes that give criminals easy access to guns. But it's a worthwhile effort to keep some guns out of criminals' hands.

Are there supplements that can boost my testosterone level?
- Q: I'm a 34-year-old male with low testosterone. What supplements can I take to boost my levels?
- A: Beside getting a prescription for testosterone replacement therapy, there are a few things that you can try. Getting more zinc in your diet is one way to boost low testosterone levels. Zinc is one of the key components in the chemical makeup of this male hormone. Foods naturally high in zinc include read meats, eggs, and dairy. You can also get more zinc by taking a multivitamin. Ginseng and saw palmetto are two herbs that have been used for centuries to enhance male function. Researchers have found that men who eat monounsaturated fats, such as those found in nuts and olive oil, had naturally higher levels of testosterone. There are also physical fitness methods to increase testosterone and restore male hormone imbalance. One activity is to exercise with weights. Weight lifting and strength training will increase low testosterone levels over time. Eliminating excess body fat also helps improve the testosterone balance. When a person carries too much body fat, it stimulates the production of estrogen, which effectively "cancels out" the effects of testosterone. Limit your intake of alcohol and if you are a smoker, quitting can help as well. For more specific information, consult with your doctor or pharmacist for guidance based on your health status and current medications, particularly before taking any action.

We like traveling in May. The weather is generally good almost anywhere in the world... unless you're looking at wet and dry seasons. When you're planning a trip that's what you need to research.
But Spring and Fall can also be fickle when it comes to weather, so it's good to have a mixed weather packing list.
We went to the Baltic countries a couple of years ago in May. They ARE pretty far north, so we used our mixed weather packing list.
We leave the heavy coats at home unless we really know it's going to be cold... and we just layer.
I'll admit, our first day in Riga, Latvia, it was sooo cold I thought I was going to have to buy a coat.
Notice the coat, scarf, gloves.... and the runny nose in this picture!
Most of the trip was somewhere in between, but it sure was nice being able to layer as needed. That's what a mixed weather packing list let you do. Modify our to make it your own.
You can look up average temperatures and the long term forecast on weather.com or similar website, but you know how often weathermen are right (or wrong!).
When we went to Scotland a couple of years ago, the 10 day forecast was for a week of rain. That sounded normal. What we got was a week of sunny, glorious weather!
When we looked up China and Bhutan on different web sites for that other trip, the projected temperatures varied by 10-20 degrees F (about 5-10 C) from site to site. So we left the parkas at home, but packed layers for potential cold too.
You can take shorts and tank tops, but think about where you're going.... Shorts may not be acceptable everywhere. When we visited Dzongs and Temples in Bhutan, long pants and collared shirts were required for men, and women couldn't wear sleeveless tops. It always pays to check on the customs of the country you're going to.
The main thing is to have everything mix and match. That cold day in Riga I had on every layer I took! It may sound difficult, but with a little planning, you can pack well for hot and cold weather and still carry it all on.
So... Our Mixed Weather Packing List....
Judy's clothes for that Mixed Weather Packing List:
2-3 short sleeve blouses or t-shirts (t-shirts layer too!)
1-2 pairs of light weight, colored jeans (I like black or brown)
1 pair khaki slacks
1 pair black slacks and matching top
(to dress up or down; and wear on the plane)
1 light knit cardigan... to dress up or down; I pack this
1 heavier sweater/blazer/jacket to wear on plane
1 pair light weight walking shoes (I wore these on the plane)
1 pair sandals or a second pair of comfortable shoes
underwear -- 6 panties and 2 bras
3 pairs of socks and 3 pairs of Peds
1 silk long john top
1 turtle neck
1-2 light weight pull-over sweaters to layer
1 wool pull-over sweater
swim suit (I always take one... could be hot or an indoor spa)
1 scarf and gloves
1 hat
Mark's clothes:
2 pairs of denim slacks or jeans
1 long sleeve shirt
5 short sleeve shirts (Mark is almost never cold)
1-2 t-shirts (to sleep in or layer if needed)
1 swim suit that doubles as sleep wear
1 pair walking shoes for the plane and cities
1 pair tennis shoes
6 pairs socks (4 white, 2 black)
6 undies (laundry service was cheap)
1 pull over sweater
1 turtle neck
1 bandana or scarf and maybe gloves
1 hat
1 light jacket
Amenities Are Mostly The Same For Any Packing List:
razor (dual voltage)
adaptors for those funny foreign plugs
shampoo and rinse (pack in plastic bags to prevent spills)
small containers of cosmetics
travel alarm clock
camera and plenty of memory chips
Digital video camera and charger
laptop or tablet (sometimes we do, sometimes we don't)
1-2 umbrellas and/or maybe raincoats or rain ponchos
prescription glasses ( and your prescription if you can)
contact lenses, eye drops and solutions
toothbrush, toothpaste and dental floss
plastic bags (in case your laundry or bathing suits don't dry)
insect repellant if needed
sun screen
2 small flashlights (one for each of us)
1 day pack
Inflatable contour travel pillow
A light weight "expandable" bag.... (folds to about 4x6 inches, expands to a respectable size carry on.)
Miscellaneous Papers.....
Small first aid kit....
And If You Forget Something
Even in far flung corners of the world you can buy most of what you might need. Umbrellas, t-shirts and sweatshirts may be cheaper than at home. Pharmacies have an amazing number of recognizable brands and pharmacists are more that willing to help you find what you need.
Remember that we advocate carry-on size luggage... even if you might run into heat or cold... with this mixed weather packing list, you can do it.
However you end up packing, remember, try not to check anything you can't afford to lose....... cameras, computers, medications. (Security alerts will influence what you can and can't take on the plane.) If you do a lot of shopping or you find that your clothes expand as you travel (they do.... I don't know how!) you can use the day pack and expandable bag for extra space.
Happy travels... even if you don't travel the world... just remember that life is a journey... embrace and enjoy it! Judy and Mark

Hello again Doctor. I just got off the phone with my primary care doctor's triage nurse. They have approved the Valacyclovir prescription for me, however my doctor prescribed the 1000 mg as opposed to the 500 mg pills I asked for. He says I should take 1000 mg per day instead of the 500 mg you recommended, but I trust your expertise on this much more. I suppose I will just have to purchase the 1000 mg and break them in half.

and oral herpes usually isn't associated with the psychological/social stress of genital, so people's thresholds for effectiveness,

But is it really all that big a deal? You probably could get effective suppression for under $1.00 per day, probably less (e.g., generic acyclovir).

This latest Hitcher--the 1986 version featured Rutger Hauer while a 2002 sequel went directly to video--is helmed by Dave Meyers, whose background includes both commercials and award-winning music-videos. Of the three films this is the most blatantly brutal, a take-no-prisoners thriller that leaves few people standing. Ambiguous motives contribute to what mystery there is, as Meyers splashes his gore on the screen abruptly, like a summer storm, and then quickly moves on. At the same time, cinematographer James Hawkinson makes watching vehicles roll over and over almost compensate for the absence of psychological perception. Together, they manage to make a body riddled with shotgun pellets aesthetically interesting. Alan Rankin's sound design adds to the movie's crisp effectiveness. This is not a thinking-man's thriller, but it has the shock appeal of a severed head on a davenport.
Visual style is key to The Hitcher's chilling moments of death and brutality. From the opening sequence during which a rabbit is fatally surprised on a highway (best to remind yourself that the hare is strictly CGI) to the last-woman-standing finale, we can time the thrills in five-minute intervals, and during sequences where no one is being dispatched, there is the requisite amount of fear and tension, another tribute to Meyers' skill.
The Hitcher burns rubber from its opening shots, in which sleek and sensible Grace Andrews (Sophia Bush) and her grungy but good-hearted boyfriend Jim Halsey (Zachary Knighton) spin off down the interstate to meet her family during school break. Everything is tranquil exposition for about five minutes. But before you can say "John Ryder is the perfect name for a hitchhiker," they almost run over the title character with Jim's Olds, a vehicle fitted with every device known to modern car builders except a muffler.
Will Ryder (Sean Bean) get revenge? Is the Pope Catholic? No matter what the genre of film, a thriller is only as good as its villain, and to this task Bean is a match for the original hitcher, Rutger Hauer. With a vaguely European voice of authority, he relishes every moment of pain he can inflict upon the innocent young couple. And this is a man whose smile is far more sinister than his sneer. Still, The Hitcher quickly reaches a point when we wonder why he finds them worthy of his sadism. That question is never answered.
Those jaded enough or callow enough who love a cinematic battering with no holds barred--and you know who you are--will not be disappointed by this bit of Grand Guignol, which ought to discourage anyone from picking up a hitcher under the age of 80.
