For example, there are organizations which provide privileged access to all users and have no Web filtering, yet they are asking about high end data leakage protection (DLP) products. Companies may have no patch management and no validation of their anti-virus, yet they want to discuss high end log review security information and event management (SIEM) products. Many companies are not doing intrusion detection at all, doing it in baffling ways, or outsourcing it to providers who aren't actually monitoring anything. In most cases all of these things should be part of a strategy, but more complex projects will only be successful if built on a foundation of getting the basics right.

Comments about 5/8 in. SDS Plus 5.5 Amp Rotary Hammer Kit:
This is a great drill for most mason style drilling applications. It is much nicer than the old pistol style that I have used for years. Saved a bunch of money buying reconditioned and after my first job they would each look the same.

The power is amazing for such a small tool.
It"s the best small rotary hammer on the market.

Comments about 5/8 in. SDS Plus 5.5 Amp Rotary Hammer Kit:
Compared to some of the older small hammers I have this one is "like butter" in comparison. Good power and good solid grip. Value for cost plus easy to get bits I rated it a 5. Paid for its self in productivity in 1 day.

Comments about Milwaukee 5/8 in. SDS Plus 5.5 Amp Rotary Hammer Kit:
Now I may sound like a Milwaukee sales rep but I am not affiliated or sponsored by them in any way.
I use this machine daily for overhead and general drilling of 6-8mm (1/4"-3/8") holes in high quality concrete on a major hospital construction site site. We picked this model after a sales rep let us test it alongside other larger Milwaukee models. We where surprised of the drilling efficiency of this small, low weight model. The actuall model we have is the 230V equivalent, the PLH 20.
We drill mostly in concrete hollow beams with a wall thickness of around 2" and with 6mm and 8mm drill bits. As it turns out, this aggressive little machine is faster than the other machines we have compared with so far, mains driven and rechargeable, new and old, including significantly larger machines from DeWalt, Hilti, Bosch, Makita etc. The small Milwaukee breaks through in about 3-5 seconds while others typically need 6-12 seconds!
The only negative thing I have to say is not about the machine itself, but the lack of an available integrated dust removal, preferably one that builds on the strengths of this machine; its small size and low weight.

Comments about Milwaukee 5/8 in. SDS Plus 5.5 Amp Rotary Hammer Kit:
I'm getting A LOT of bit wobble with this drill. I just bought it and have tried three different brand new bits and I'm getting very inconsistent performance. The 6" bits all wobble about an 1/8" in all directions.
I bought one from Home Depot and exchanged for another, both have the same issue. How much bit wobble should be expected?

Posts regarding layoffs at Vanguard Health Systems
Obamacare will certainly impact Vanguard as well as all other health providers.
Medicare is soon to be overwhelmed, reimbursements squeezed harder, with end result being admin staff cuts.
Vanguard's admin redundancy with recent buyout will more than double "non-essential" staff...ie those who don't generate $$ through patient care
How is obamacare affecting vanguard?
Any news for Detroit?
We have let go over 100 folks back in late 2011 - this was massive and the cuts were noticeable. Many good folks let go and I really do not know what criteria was used. After that, around 50 folks were let go in mid-2012 and I am not aware of any additional layoffs we had. I heard that 2013 and 2014 may bring additional layoffs as the owners are concerned with profits and costs. There is an interview with Olga Solares, RVP of Marketing for VH Chicago - she notes that mid-2012 layoffs were less than 2% of the workforce in Chicago - now granted that 6000 people work for Vanguard in Chicago, you do the math - it's significant...Some of the resons she is noting are decreased reimpusments and patient volumes and this is apparently affecting everyone and not only us. As always, Medicaid is to blame. This particular case was focusing on Weiss memorial Hospital, West Suburban Med Center, Oak Park and the main office. No mention of MacNeal Hostpital in Berwyn and Westlake Hospital in Melrose park here...
Vanguard is laying people off again - 2013 will be an interesting year
I hear that the facilities and hopitals in Massachusetts and Michigan are not doing good at all. I guess Blackstone is not going to be happy and that we can see some layoffs in Nashville very soon (We can start with Martin and Wallace)...

How to debug data binding problems on Windows Phone
Delete instructional text in italic
This article explains how to ... Replace the abstract text with a short paragraph (or sentence) describing what the topic covers.
Enter article metadata as described below. Note that this template can be placed anywhere in the article. Do not remove parameters that you do not use
If you use data binding in your Windows Phone application, during development you'll come to the point where you have linked everything together but data doesn't display in your control or the wrong data appears.
What can you do? You can use an IValueConverter and set a breakpoint there. This way you can see what data arrives at your element and check the available properties.
Say you have a ListBox like this:
<ListBox x:Name="MainListBox" Margin="0,0,-12,0" ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" SelectionChanged="MainListBox_SelectionChanged"> <ListBox.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <StackPanel Margin="0,0,0,17" Width="432" Height="78"> <TextBlock Text="{Binding LineOne}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextExtraLargeStyle}"/> <TextBlock Text="{Binding LineTwo}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Margin="12,-6,12,0" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextSubtleStyle}"/> </StackPanel> </DataTemplate> </ListBox.ItemTemplate> </ListBox>
You can add a converter that gets called when the data from the binding source arrives and before it gets delivered to the control. Here we have one condition when this debugging technique can't help: if the binding fails earlier, the converter doesn't get calledt
To implement the converter you have to derive a class from IValueConverter and implement it's methods:
public class DatabindingDebugConverter : IValueConverter { public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, string language) { return value; }
public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, string language) { return value; } }
Then you have to declare the converter as a static resource in your page's xaml:
<phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources> <local:DataBindingDebugConverter x:Key="DatabindingDebugConverter"/> </phone:PhoneApplicationPage.Resources>
assuming you have declared the local namespace
in the page tag and call it in the data binding statement:
<TextBlock Text="{Binding LineOne, Converter={StaticResource DataBindingDebugConverter}}" TextWrapping="Wrap" Style="{StaticResource
Next you set a breakpoint in the Convert method and voilà, you can see the values that arrive from binding, if any.
A sample project is in the works, please call again later...

After months of waiting, Domtar's A-line pulp machine will shut down at the end of the work day Monday, union and corporate officials have confirmed.
By the time the dust completely settles later this spring, the number of layoffs will be the biggest in the Kamloops operation's history, said Doug Cumming of Local 10B of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union.
In the past, downsizing has been achieved through retirements and attrition, he said.
Some employees have already been phased out. Cumming said the next batch of layoffs take place April 22. He doesn't know how many people will be without work at that time.
"The whole process has been fairly frustrating, but we have worked through it," Cumming said Friday. "I don't think anybody gets good at shutting things down."
The company maintains that 125 jobs will be lost by the time the phase-out concludes later in the spring. Spokeswoman Bonny Skene said 30 jobs have already been cut.
Employees with the most seniority will bid into jobs at the mill's B-line operation and elsewhere on site, said Skene. The more junior employees will loose their jobs.
"They will end up leaving Domtar," she said. "It's going to take us weeks, likely months to do that."
Domtar announced in December it will close down its A-line pulp machine and lay off 125 workers. The company and union met regularly to come up with a transition plan, which the union rejected in a vote earlier this year.
Cumming said the union has worked hard to make the transition as smooth as possible. Some members will be asked to stay on and train people as others move into their job.
"Nobody will have to stay. There is no condition that says you have to stay," he said. "People being laid off are being laid off as of April 22."
A number of employees have found other jobs, but most of the work is not in Kamloops, said Cumming.
"They are finding work elsewhere," he said.

Free 6 months Kaspersky AntiVirus 2009!
Posted By Ashraf On February 4, 2009 @ 12:54 PM In Freebies | 16 Comments
Update: This offer seems to be invalid now. For everyone who did not get Kaspersky, I suggest you read my list of 6 free security applications [1] and grab the excellent antivirus/antispyware mentioned there (i.e. Avira Free 9).
However I would like to say one thing: below there is a link to a post on Raymond.cc which has directions on how to turn this Chinese Kaspersky into English. However a dotTech reader, jumbi, has personal experience with doing that. His warning is as follows:
Warning to readers who follow Raymond advise to use english version with chinese key:
Today after almost a month that I had installed Kaspersky with this method, an alert appeared that the program is not activated now!
(Of course it was activated before).I suppose, somehow (probably with an update), Kaspersky Labs found out that the key is for Chinese version…
Now I am bored to do the procedure once again, since I know it WILL APPEAR again in the next month or so.
The same happened also to another computer I had it installed.
Unless there is a solution to this, I suggest to your readers to avoid this method.
The website where you can attain this offer is in Chinese so don't freak out. Also note that the text you see on that webpage will depend on which encoding is enabled for your browser. Regardless of the text you see, the procedures that are shown in this post still work; just follow the pictures!
You can also view an English version of this page via Google Translate [4], but once you submit your email, it will turn into Chinese anyway, so what is the point.
Don't worry – according to the Kaspersky forums, pressing Shift + F12 will change the interface from Chinese to English and Shift + F5 will change it back to Chinese. So Install the Chinese version just as you would install the English version but when you actually run Kaspersky, press Shift + F12 to change it to English.
Update3: People are reporting that Shift + F12 is not working.
Update4: Raymond details on how to turn the Chinese version into English here [13]. I have not tested this myself.
That is it. Just three things to remember:
This does not include a firewall, or any other security essentials. To learn more about essential programs that you can get to compliment Kaspersky, visit top 6 programs that will provide the best security for you and your computer – for free. [14]

Note: Don't reply to this message or anything like it. It's a scam!
April 19, 2011
Hello Friend, I hope my e-mail meets you well. I am in need of your assistance. My names are Col. Brian Dennison Kent of the Engineering Unit of US Military here in Ba'qubah in Iraq; we have about $10 Million that we want to move out of the country. This money was found in boxes some time ago during our routine raid around the base. My partners and I need a good partner out there, someone we can trust to receive the funds on our behalf. It is oil money and legal. The most important thing is; "Can We Trust you"? Once the funds get to you, simply take out 20% as your share and keep the remaining 80% for us. Your own part of this deal is to find a safe place where the funds can be sent to, ours is sending it to you safely. Also you can view this Link for proper verification http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm If you are interested I will furnish you with more details upon receipt of your response and contact details. But I can assure you the whole process is simple and we must keep a low profile at all times. I look forward to your reply and co-operation.We have kept this money for so long but right now the US President, Barack Obama said he is pulling us out so I must have this cash out immediately. Reply me at email@example.com Regards, Col. Brian Kent

LIke others have said i LOVE the time to myself when they are doing stuff with their dad.
I am not very girly and love to play soccer, wrestling, races all that physical play that boys often love to do so i never feel left out.
The only time i get annoyed is when they are watching sports on TV because that is deathly boring to me, but i solved that by getting a TV in my bedroom and now i use that time to watch movies or Oprah.

More About:
Producers who keep their heads in the game can help their pastures compete with drought and its aftereffects, says John Jennings. This University of Arkansas Extension forage specialist, whose entire state is in drought, offers winning strategies for dealing with and recovering from it.
"If you have any grass left at all, use rotational or controlled-access grazing as much as possible to extend grazing," he says. "Feed it like it's standing hay; use existing gates and fences or temporary electric fence to ration the grass out."
Leave top growth wherever possible to help pastures recover faster. That helps keep soil temperatures down, he learned from an Oklahoma colleague in much the same drought situation last year.
"Where they had bare, overgrazed pasture, their soil temperatures reached as much as 150°F. So if we can keep some residue on there to shade that surface, it keeps temperatures down somewhat and forages are in a little better shape to recover."
If renting land that hasn't been grazed in a while, or moving cattle to another farm, scout for toxic weeds such as perilla mint and wilted johnsongrass, Jennings stresses. "We've had several cases of cattle deaths from prussic-acid poisoning from johnsongrass this summer already."
To bolster forage supplies, farmers with freshly harvested corn ground and irrigation could plant summer annuals such as sorghum-sudangrass or pearl millet. But for any crop planted after the first week of August, "it's getting iffy on how long the nighttime temperatures will stay warm enough for that summer crop to grow."
Invest in insecticide as needed, urges Jennings, who notes that armyworms and grasshoppers are devouring his area's green forage. "If they can protect what they have and keep it growing, they'll probably make more forage than what they could buy for hay." And it will be better quality than what will be available, he says.
Producers buying hay but have little storage should consider making their own, Jennings adds. Stack bales on pallets or a crushed-rock base and cover with good-quality hay tarps – not inexpensive blue tarps.
Feed beef cattle only what they need to avoid waste. Research has shown that limit-feeding good-quality hay about five to six hours per day will cut down on waste and maintain body condition. But try that with poor-quality hay and the cattle won't get enough nutrients, he cautions.
Before feeding crop residues, have nitrate levels tested to avoid toxicity problems. "They also need to check the history of the chemicals used on those crops, because some of them prohibit the use of treated material for animal feeding."
Wean and sell calves early – don't wait for fall – to reduce the nutritional demand on cows as well as the competition for forages. As conditions recover, one option may be to keep cow numbers low and retain ownership on calves at weaning. If drought reoccurs, the calves can be sold.
"It may be a way they could increase their returns with fewer head by being able to optimize the use of their forage at excess times of the year."
When rains return, be ready with a drought recovery plan, he says.
"We're telling producers they really need to evaluate their pastures and figure out which ones they think will fully recover, which ones are going to have to be overseeded and which ones need complete renovation."
Scout pastures for problem weeds that cattle haven't grazed and concentrate grazing pressure or a herbicide, or a mix of the two, so weeds aren't the only plants to recover.
Then fertilize. If you have to prioritize, pick the best pastures to apply nitrogen to speed up grass growth and phosphorus to stimulate root development, he says.
Once pastures green up, hold off grazing so plants can get established – or re-established.
If stop-gap forage is needed, plant winter annuals like wheat, rye, oats, triticale and ryegrass as early as conditions allow. Or plant brassicas, such as turnips. "We had good luck with those last year. We planted them in late August and by the first of November we had some really nice, grazable forage," Jennings says.

Iran's prickly history with the IAEA
Iran and the IAEA have had a prickly relationship since 2002, when a dissident group – believed to have been fed information from Israeli intelligence – revealed that Iran had been secretly working for years to build a 50,000-centrifuge uranium enrichment plant.
Technically, Iran was not required to declare that Natanz site until six months before nuclear material was introduced. But the IAEA in late 2004 derided Iran's "policy of concealment" and "many breaches" of its NPT Safeguard Agreement, which spells out terms under which nuclear work and material is monitored and controlled.
Iran agreed to a 2003 update that requires it to declare any new nuclear facility from the moment building is authorized.
Still, it was only after years of work that Iran declared the 3,000-centrifuge Fordow site near Qom in September 2009. IAEA inspectors found it in "an advanced state of construction." That prompted the IAEA Board of Governors, in a rare direct censure, to vote 26 to 3 against Iran in November.
That IAEA resolution noted "serious concern" that Iran "continues to defy the requirements and obligations" of IAEA and UN Security Council resolutions – three of which impose sanctions and require Iran to halt uranium enrichment.
While the NPT grants every nation the right to enrich uranium to produce nuclear energy, the UN Security Council – which in Iran's case is the enforcement mechanism for the NPT – has suspended that right until Iran resolves IAEA concerns about possible weapons efforts.
Even in censure, IAEA doesn't say Iran 'violated' NPT
The November censure also said that Iran's new plant was "in breach" of Iran's "obligation to suspend all enrichment activities," and the tardy declaration "inconsistent with its obligations" under Iran's updated NPT Safeguard Agreement.

I love the color of this duvet cover however it doesn't keep the duvet in place well. The fabric is to slick, and the duvet slides down into a bunch at the bottom.
I got the pink one for my daughter's room, as it was a way less expensive option than buying a new comforter. The color matches the website very well. It is a bit "slippery" as some other reviewers have suggested, but not annoyingly so. I have not washed it yet, so I can't speak to its durability. It has been on her bed for several months now and looks to be holding up fine with no pilling or stitching coming loose. I do wish it had some tabs in the corners to tie the comforter in, I ended up having to sew them in myself. Also, I used it to cover a comforter with a dark pattern on it, and you can actually see the pattern through the fabric a bit. I would say this is good for a kid's or teenagers room.
The material is really soft and the item was delivered on time. The duvet did have damage on it and fraying at the edges. I got it for my daughter's twin bed, and she really likes it. For the price it is not too bad.
Great deal, but would not buy a microfiber duvet again..too slippery of material. Do not care for the hand of this fabric. Otherwise, construction is decent and fit is fine.
The price was right, the color is beautiful but, I am not a fan of microfiber for sheets and bedding. I bought this for my daughters room and because it is so flimsy, the comforter slides all around. It is difficult for her to make her bed because it needs a hefty shake to reorganize the comforter.
Love how bright the color is and very happy with the soft hand feel of this duvet cover. It is a bit on the roomy side with my queen duvet, so it looks a bit messy on the bed, but I have a light blanket over the entire bed, so its not a big issue.
I was so very much excited to have found a similar bedding set for my teen daughter's room that would mimic a similar Pottery Barn Teen set and I thought I hit the jackpot when I saw these on Overstock. I cannot tell you how disappointed I was when I received the set and opened the packet. The color is true to the picture however, the quality is not the best and it was poorly made....I mean, POORLY made. The down comforter swims in the duvet cover as there are no ties on each end and the duvet is just too big for the comforter and we have a too big down comforter. The duvet looks messy and ill-fitted when on the comforter and unfortunately, it was one of those �too-good-to-be-true� purchases. Am usually pleased with Overstock purchases but this one was my worst purchase yet from O. If like me, you were hoping to get a Pottery Barn knock-off from this duvet set, I would look elsewhere or just splurge on the Pottery Barn set. I don�t anticipate this bedding to last through normal wear and tear let alone several washings on the delicate cycle.
Looks great in my daughter's bedroom. Very stylish mixed with black and white accents. Very soft and quality is good. A fraction of what similar item cost elsewhere.
Got the lavender for my daughters room. Very soft -she doesn't even use a flat sheet with it.

Will This Upgrade Help Jack In The Box (JACK) Today? (Update)
Update (10:00 a.m.): Updated with Wednesday market open information.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Jefferies raised its target price on Jack In The Box (JACK - Get Report) to $62 and set a "buy" rating. The firm noted that accelerating sales and margin, combined with cost synergies, should increase operating results.
"We believe JACK can be worth $100 in 3-4 yrs as it realizes above-trend EPS growth via continued momentum at JIB; remaining cost synergies; and importantly, accelerating sales & margins at Qdoba, which we think is being underappreciated at its current implied valuation of 5.5x C14E EBITDA," Jefferies wrote in a research note. "As operating results improve, Qdoba will become a larger portion of the enterprise & should garner a higher multiple (Fast Casual avg 14-15x)."
The stock was rising 1.84% to $53.67 shortly after the market opened on Wednesday.
Must Read: Jack In The Box (JACK) Reaches New Lifetime High Today ---------- Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates JACK IN THE BOX INC as a "buy" with a ratings score of A-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate JACK IN THE BOX INC (JACK) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, impressive record of earnings per share growth, increase in net income, notable return on equity and reasonable valuation levels. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had generally high debt management risk by most measures that we evaluated." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- Powered by its strong earnings growth of 25.58% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 75.55% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, JACK should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- JACK IN THE BOX INC has improved earnings per share by 25.6% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, JACK IN THE BOX INC increased its bottom line by earning $1.84 versus $1.52 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($2.25 versus $1.84).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Hotels, Restaurants & Leisure industry. The net income increased by 83.0% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $12.48 million to $22.83 million.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Hotels, Restaurants & Leisure industry and the overall market, JACK IN THE BOX INC's return on equity exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Just a short note to say hello and give a thank you to my friend, First Sgt, who referred me. He and I were in the military together, fighting the Commies from England during the Cold War. (And thank you to the English gals who made the Cold War a bit warmer! :)
My girlfriend and I own a ranch near Kerrville, TX where we host Getaway weekends, primarily for women. We call the program "Botox & Bullets"(sm). During the weekend 4-8 women can take their Texas Concealed Handgun License course, or just get an introduction to guns and do some shooting. They will also enjoy the upscale lodge with pool/spa, and have an array of spa services...AND great food and adult beverages! It's a great Getaway, and an excellent way to introduce women to handguns. The classes are taught by Kathy (the Ranch Goddess) who is a world-class hunter, RN, MedSpa owner, and Home Health Care Agency owner...and a fabulous cook!
We find that in such a relaxed and friendly environment, women are more receptive to learning about handguns. Some go from thinking the gun on the table is a snake about to bite them, to begging for more range time so they can smell the smell and feel the kick (women have different sensory perceptions, ya know?). It's a thrill for us to see the transformation right before our eyes.
Of course, we only offer the introduction. We hammer home the point that there is MUCH more involved, through training and practice, to responsibly carry a concealed handgun. We try to make sure everyone fully understands the mental and emotional aspects to carrying a gun...and will you REALLY use it to kill someone? When we ask that question, the room goes silent. It is THE most important question, in my book.
So..here I am. Looking forward to sharing and learning from this forum.
If you like, we have a Facebook page at Botox and Bullets
And thanks again First Sgt!

The Book of Zope
Zope, an open-source application server, has become an increasingly popular choice for web development in the last few years. Zope Corporation, formerly known as Digital Creations, has gone to great lengths to prove their commitment to the Open Source community and has encouraged Python and Zope developers around the world to spread the Zope gospel. The fact that Zope is written mainly in Python has given a boost to the worldwide Python community, providing what may indeed be the "killer app" that brings new people into the Python fold.
While Zope is an extremely powerful system for creating web applications, it also can be daunting to new users. Its paradigms are quite different from other web development systems, in no small part because of its heavy reliance on objects. If you are not comfortable with classes, instances, instance variables, class methods and instance methods, the learning curve for Zope is even steeper than otherwise would be the case.
While the Zope documentation has improved considerably over the last few years, and while many zope.org members have contributed their own documentation, tips, code and tutorials, there is still a need for solid introductory texts for learning Zope.
The Book of Zope aims to fill this niche. It was written by a number of programmers at Beehive, a web development company with offices in Berlin and Washington, DC. The book is an English translation of the original German version and reads better than I expected for a translation.
The Book of Zope covers most of what a beginning Zope developer will need to know. (While some of the chapters may be useful for designers and other nontechnical people, nonprogrammers probably will have a difficult time understanding many of the items in it.) Initial chapters describe how to navigate Zope's management screens, DTML (the server-side programming language that can be used to implement functionality without having to write Python programs) and permissions with users and roles.
The book then begins to cover more complex ground, describing ZClasses, SQL connectivity and Python scripts. There is even a chapter on Zope products, introducing the notion of a product and how to write one of your own in Python.
The Book of Zope covers everything that you might expect in a book of this type and does so thoroughly. But as I was reading it, I felt that something was missing: a sense of perspective, helping the fledgling Zope programmer to get "Zope Zen", an intuitive sense for how Zope works. The book's text was informative, and its numerous examples were clear, but I wish that there had been more pauses to explain where each technology fits into the scheme of things, rather than simply introducing them.
The Book of Zope is a good complement to on-line Zope documentation and probably will be most useful to programmers who want more direction after experimenting with Zope on their own. Someone who is completely new to Zope might benefit from this book, but they may find themselves confused and frustrated.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Prison Break
When it comes to TV Shows, I am a late bloomer. I always watch TV shows that has been ended for years. I remember my friends telling me how good the Prison Break was many many years back but I never got into it until recently as I found full 80 episodes on $NFLX!
Primary reason I don't like to watch TV shows while its airing is because I don't like waiting for the next episode. You know how it always ends with the BIG QUESTION. What's going to happen next??? and then you are kind of dumbfounded like a deer on a bright headlight knowing that you won't find out until next week. I guess I hate that. Anyway, I got into Prison Break last few weeks and I really like the story line and the characters.
So the BIG QUESTION for the next week is…
Is $CMG going to have Break-Out plan next week?
I don't trade $CMG or $NFLX on a regular basis but I do like to trade them for Break-Outs. They tend to have huge moves up or down when they break out and I like to ride that volatility.
So here you can see that we have been forming this symmetrical triangle pattern here. This is great pattern for a break-out play because as you can see the volume is evaporating, the trading range is getting tighter and tighter. And you know what? Bollinger Bands are SQUEEZING. When they are squeezing, you know the pressure is getting HOT.
Take a look at that. It's going to stay flat as it's going to come up with break-out plan as Scofield did for his brother on Prison Break. And when it breaks, I want to make sure I am there to go along with a ride. Maybe lots of money is there waiting for me outside world.
Reconfirming possible break-out, this is how. You see all these Oscillators are at a neutral? They are moving sideways and that's how you see momentum isn't in any direction because $CMG is digging the hole. When it breaks-out, you will see these Oscillators moving in one direction WILDLY.
12.12.12 Wednesday
Taking A Detour?
Looks like $280 has been acting as strong resistance last two days. Today and yesterday, we closed with Doji with not much price action. I do think if we break above $280, It probably will move pretty wildly. BBands still squeezing very tightly and the stock is just very slowly moving sideways. Break-out plan is still intact but possibly needs some more time to re-evaluate things. However it's possible we might consolidate more days before it breaks out.
Last 9/6/12, when this stock broke out very aggressively to the upside, it was the day when Dow Jones Index broke out to the upside as well. So I am wondering if it's waiting on Dow Index to make a move first so it can follow it. The similar aspect of $CMG and $DJIA today is that, both are at it's very pivotal point. If Dow starts to tank this week, I think possibly $CMG will follow but conversely if Dow breaks to the upside, $CMG likely to follow looking at the sentiment of how it broke out last September.
12.17.12 Monday
They Are Breaking Out!
(Entered bearish @ $285.75)
I entered bullish just about 30mins before close today. And looks like they are finally breaking out and good timing as the market soars, $CMG also soars. We also have confirmation through Bollinger Bands break (see arrows).
Be cautious because we are trading just below 100SMA and also volume is weak (compare to its move today). We would really need some good volume spike to confirm the continuation tomorrow.
My target is around $330-$340 area. Overall looking good for tomorrow.
12.18.12 Tuesday
Going As Planned But We Need…
We do have a rising volume (yellow shaded) which is a good sign and that was one of the reason why I am still holding my Call Options here despite the fact that we are running into short-term resistance (yellow dotted line).
This is what needs to happen tomorrow. A HUGE spike of volume like you see on that red arrow on early September. We don't get that tomorrow, we probably looking at some sharp pull back of some kind and since I am not trend trading but a break out trading, I will not want to hold through a pull back.
I will be watching very closely tomorrow and see how it behaves and if can get some more buyers through that short-term resistance area, I am willing to hold. Otherwise I will be out quick with my gains.
If however, we can get good spike of volume with price action to the upside, I am pretty confident that we could see $340 area and that area is going to be a major pivot. 200SMA is also residing in that vicinity so that would be my ultimate target.
Bollinger-Bands Trending
BBands continue to trumpeting out and $CMG is trading outside of the Bollinger-Bands. This is good indication of Bollinger Bands break-out trend trading. What we want to see next few days is for the bands to continue to separate and continue to develop trumpet formation (bands separating). When the bands starts to come together, that's when trend is dying and the momentum is shifting. Anyhow looking at this BBands, looks like the trend is going to continue tomorrow.
DMI also shows great strength really liking this move. DMI is one of my favorite indicator I use when I want to check the strength of it's recent move and as you can see DMI really likes this move.
12.19.12 Wednesday
Losing Momentum, I Am Out
(Closed out @ $291.64)
What a drag… Possibly we could continue but I think we are losing momentum in this break-out play. I wasn't interested in trend trading on this one so I am out as I can see that the momentum has starting to decay.

Another week, another headline about English universities charging students over the odds: "University fees: Half opting for top fees".
The BBC has carried out a survey of 54 English universities and found that over half of them have already decided to charge their students the top-level fee of £9,000 per year for all their courses.
The fact that many universities decided to charge the maximum amount wasn't a big surprise – after all, they have all had to re-align their funding as a result of government cuts. But what really surprised me was to find out that so many of them were going to do so on ALL of their courses. I really struggle to see how any of them can justify doing so. What exactly are they doing to improve the courses in such way that they can justify putting the prices up for all of them? I can understand how a highly technical or scientific course may require a huge investment in order to remain current, competitive and at the top of its field, but I can't see how for instance a course in languages or literature could justify such a hike in price.
The real question that prospective students need to ask universities is: "what am I getting for this money"?
We talk to many students who have taken university courses in 3D or animation and invariably, what we hear from all of them is that they hardly ever got any time in 'labs' learning the technical skills they need to get a job. On average, students in these courses get around 2 hours per week in labs. A lucky few will get up to 6 to 8 hours per week during a short period of time when preparing projects, but even so, time allocated in labs is pretty low. It's easy to understand why: universities have to deal with much larger number of students than we do.
In our own classroom courses, which are entirely geared towards learning technical skills, students are in labs all day, every day. It means that for a typical 12-week course with us, you get 360 hours of lab time. This time is spent in classes of 12 students with a highly skilled professional tutor and a classroom assistant – in an environment where we give as much personal attention to all students as is required.
Now, I want to be fair to universities. I do know that the tuition that they offer is geared differently to ours. They deliver sound and thorough theoretical education over a much longer period of time, whereas we focus entirely on getting very hands-on technical skills over a short period of time.
What you have to ask yourself is what exactly do you want from your education. If you are after a job in VFX or Character Animation and want to go straight into a junior level job after university, then ask your university how many hours you will spend learning hands-on skills in labs with an instructor. If the response is only 2 or 3 hours a week, then it's highly unlikely you will have developed the skills needed to get that junior job. This is why people come to us.

Brody Jenner is back in the spotlight, but this time it's for what he said about his parents, Bruce and Kris. The former reality star, best known for appearing on The Hills and Laguna Beach, confirmed that Bruce and Kris are now living separately in California, leading to rumors that hiss parents are headed for a bitter divorce. Brody confirmed his parents are living separately during an interview with the British version of Now magazine, while previous reports claimed that Bruce and Kris hadn't stayed in the same bedroom for years.

Speaking to the gossip magazine, Brody also confirmed that a divorce is not taking place between Bruce and Kris. "I stay out of their business, but as far as I'm concerned, they haven't split up," he said. "Dad's been in Malibu. He grew up out here and the press has made a big deal of it. It's nothing to do with them breaking up.
SEE ALSO: Bruce Jenner Races Lamborghini!
His interview came on the heels of Kris' sister, Karen Houghton, reporting last week that Bruce and Kris actually did split up. She also said that Bruce has "sought out a lawyer" since the couple separated. "I've heard she flirts with Scott [Disick] and Lamar [Odom] when she's drunk, said Houghton to In Touch magazine. She also told the publication that Kris is "generous and giving," but also "crazy and controlling."
Brody and Kris have long had a strained relationship, and sources claim that he has been pushing for Bruce to divorce her for years now. "Brody... holds Kris responsible for Bruce not being a bigger part of his life when he was a child," said a source. "Brody wants to be closer to his dad, but it's very hard with Kris in the picture, because she always has to make everything about her. He wishes his dad would just divorce Kris."

Mailing business checks can be daily routine for companies dealing with several invoices or numerous employee payments. You want to make sure that your business check is addressed properly so that it will make it to the intended recipient on time. However, if you deal with hundreds of these checks each day, it may become a bit overwhelming if you don't have a system. Luckily, we've put together a few tips to help you through the process.
Purchase Business Envelopes: The first thing you will want to do is purchase business envelopes with your company's name and logo on the front. Not only will this make the letter more professional, but it will help your recipients know they are receiving mail from your company.
Buy Stamps in Bulk: Instead of spending an outrageous amount on stamps each week, purchase your stamps in bulk and save your company a bit of money. You can easily find stamps in bulk at the USPS store online. Just make sure that the stamps you purchase will work for the mail you have to send out.
Clearly Mark Addresses: Instead of spending minutes out of your day carefully writing out each recipient's address, print out the addresses on sticky paper instead. This will look more formal and will help prevent any mistakes that you may make in your handwriting.

In November, the Vatican published a book entitled Interreligious Dialogue in the Official Teaching of the Catholic Church (1963-2013). While the book is not likely to become a bestseller, its publication is a significant event.
Read the rest of entry »
During the period prior to the start of the Second Vatican Council, there was no pressure for or interest in issuing a conciliar statement on relations between Christians and Jews.
Cardinal Augustin Bea, a German Jesuit Scripture scholar who served as the first head of the Vatican's Secretariat for Christian Unity, must go down as one of the great heroes of the Second Vatican Council.
The closest vote at the Second Vatican Council was over whether to discuss the Virgin Mary in a separate document or to include that discussion as part of its document on the Church.
In the preparations for the Second Vatican Council, Blessed John XXIII asked that a document be prepared on the veneration of the saints.
When the Second Vatican Council spoke of the universal call to holiness, it raised another issue. If, because of our baptismal consecration, we are called and empowered to be holy, where do religious orders fit into the picture?
The role of the laity was one of the least-debated topics at the Second Vatican Council. Popes Pius XI and Pius XII had already laid out a vision of the laity as serving on the front lines of the Church – those who take the Church's teaching and apply it in the secular sphere.
One consequence of the Second Vatican Council was that it seemed to make everybody busier. More people became involved in more ministries, and the number of meetings exploded. Where the Church had previously been disengaged from the issues of contemporary society, it now seemed to have an opinion about everything.
The Second Vatican Council, at least in the Western world, was followed by decades of dissension from authoritative Catholic teaching, a phenomena that did much to weaken the Church's evangelizing mission.
Last week's article focused on bishops as members of a sacred college, a college that has responsibility for the governance of the whole Church and its evangelizing mission throughout the world.

A recent discovery of buried treasure in a Hindu temple in the south of India is causing quite a stir. The incredible stash of gold coins, gold statues, diamonds and precious stones is still being inventoried, but reports are that the final tally of this treasure's value will easily be in the tens of billions of dollars.
Now the question becomes: What's to be done with all that wealth? In a country where half a billion people live in devastating poverty and millions more are just on the edge of sliding in, the knee jerk reaction is that the new-found riches should be used to help the poor.
But many people are wary of allowing the government to have control over this huge stash. Given the level of corruption in India's government and the propensity of governments in general to mismanage just about everything, that seems a legitimate concern.
Let's hope and pray that somehow this treasure will be used to bring long term solutions for the poor and to make India a better place for everyone.
Jesus said, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:19-21)
