Apple TV reviewed
PUBLISHED: 26 Mar 2012 09:19:33 | UPDATED: 26 Mar 2012 09:44:14PRINT EDITION: 26 Mar 2012John DAVIDSON
It's been less than two weeks since Apple released the new version of the Apple TV, and already I'm getting impatient for the hackers to do their thing to it.
In case you missed it amidst all the fanfare about that other gadget, the new, 1080p version of Apple TV went on sale March 16, for $109. I doubt anyone lined up for it (unless they happened to get caught in the queue for that other gadget) but it's a fairly major overhaul of the Apple TV set-top-box-type-thingo that's been around for a few years now, that has never really set the world of fire.
The latest Apple TV, like the one before it, is too small to set the world on fire. Literally, I mean. It's got to be the smallest set-top-box-type-thingo on the market, just 10 cms wide, 10 cms deep and 2 cms high (in round numbers). It's just 272 grams, which is actually too light. When you plug an HDMI cable to it, to connect it to your TV, the device just gets dragged around by the cable and dumped where-ever the cable sees fit. We had to sit a hefty novel on ours, to keep it pointed towards the front so the infrared remote would work properly. But, no big deal. The point is, it's very small, and if you can't find room for it beneath your TV, then you probably have some serious ventilation problems. Any problems with the Apple TV will be the least of your concerns.
Not that there are many problems with the Apple TV. It's a nice little refresh on the device, adding 1080p resolution (the previous version was 720p), support for iCloud, and rejigging the user interface so it looks more like an iPad or an iPhone.
That last new feature is because the Apple TV is essentially just an extension of the iPad/iPhone/iTunes franchise, rather than a complete product in itself (as I'll get into in a moment). We're not huge fans of the new interface here in the Digital Life Labs, as it happens: it's a little too grid like, a little too unimaginative for our tastes. We much prefer the interface on other set-top-box-type-thingos, such as XBMC, Hulu or even Telstra's T-Box.
And we're not the only one to think that the new UI is a little boxy. Over the weekend, a former Apple employee, Michael Margolis, had this to say on his Twitter feed: "I implemented much of the AppleTV 2.0 UI years ago. The new home page UI makes me cry."
And he's not crying for joy, either. Margolis tweeted that the design the Apple TV now has, which slavishly follows the iPad and iPhone design, was rejected by Steve Jobs years ago.
Still, Apple isn't wrong in making Apple TV look like the iPad, because it's really designed to be used in conjunction with an iPad (or, to a lesser extent, an iPhone) rather than on its own.
One of the features, YouTube, is hopeless if you just use the Apple TV and nothing else, for instance. The device's infrared remote has only three or seven buttons (depending on how you count them), so you can't just type in YouTube search terms by tapping them out mobile-phone style, on a keypad. You have to laboriously arrow up, down, left and right from letter to letter, so that by the time you've entered a search term, you're no longer even interested in that search.
Much better is when you sync the Apple TV screen with the screen of your iPad, which is achieved effortlessly, simply by putting both devices on the same Apple ID account, which you would do anyway so you can purchase content from the Apple TV.
When they two devices are linked, you can set the iPad so that any YouTube videos you call up using the iPad's much-better on-screen keyboard, automagically pop up on your Apple TV screen. You can play other video apps on your iPad, too, such as Ted, and have the screen mirrored on your TV. It's easy and much better than using the Apple TV remote alone.
The Apple TV set-top-box-type-thingo also ties in tightly with iTunes, so that any videos you have loaded into iTunes on a PC on your network can effortlessly be played on your TV screen.
Of course, all of this means that if you haven't already bought into the whole Apple ecosystem, Apple TV is not a good way to start. You already need to have the other stuff before you can get the most out of an Apple TV thingo.
And even when you have all the other stuff, you still can't get the most of the Apple TV without the help of hackers.
Like the iPad and iPhone, Apple TV is fairly locked down device, that's capable of much more than Apple will allow it to do. Let's say, for instance, you have a nice collection of mkv high-definition video files, which you have copied from your Blu-ray disks (or obtained through other, more nefarious means), and you are itching to play them on through Apple TV's new 1080p output. Well, you can't. iTunes won't accept mkv files, which means Apple TV (a mere conduit for iTunes) won't accept them either.
But of course XBMC, an open source app for Apple TV, with a user interface much, much nicer than the new boxy Apple TV interface, will play mkv files, and pretty well any other files you have anywhere on your network. XBMC running on Apple TV doesn't need iTunes to send videos to it: it can access hard disks on your network directly, as long as you have turned on file sharing on any PCs that have the files your want to play.
Sadly, XBMC won't work on the new Apple TV, however. XBMC only works on Apple TVs that have been "jailbroken" (had their software restrictions removed) and the new Apple TV has yet to be jailbroken, as far as we can tell.
And for XBMC to really work well on the Apple TV, you want your iPad jailbroken, too. That would allow you to run the XBMC helper app on the iPad, and use it as the greatest TV remote control known to humanity. But, alas, jailbreaks for the new iPads have yet to be released publicly, so you're out of luck there, too.
It's rare that we're impatient for hackers to do their stuff, but this is one of those times. Hurry up, hackers, and do your worst!

The Lyons and Fitzpatrick Family TreeUpdated October 27, 2008 |
This family tree includes members of the Lyons, Fitzpatrick, O'Connor, Hogan, Dooley, Moss and Finn families originating in Ireland and settling in and around the New York City area. The tree includes approximately 270 surnames and 750 individuals. I am researching: - Michael Lyons' ancestors. Michael, son of Michael and Bridget, and his wife Ann Donohue (Donohoe) arrived in the United States and settled in Providence, Rhode Island about 1850. They had nine children. Michael and three children died in RI and Ann and six children moved to New York City about 1890. I would like to know into what US port Michael and Ann sailed and from what county in Ireland they originated. - The Finn, Fitzpatrick, Dooley and Moss families from Newfoundland. Their ancestors arrived in Newfoundland from Ireland about 1780 - 1830. - The O'Connors from Kanturk and Fremont County Cork. |

WEDNESDAY, March 12, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- A new vaginal gel has the potential to protect women from HIV, even if it is applied several hours after sex, animal research suggests.
The antimicrobial gel protected five out of six monkeys from a hybrid simian/human AIDS virus when it was used three hours after exposure to the AIDS-causing virus, said lead author Walid Heneine, a researcher in HIV/AIDS prevention for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The same gel also protected two out of three monkeys when applied a half-hour before HIV exposure, according to the study, published March 12 in Science Translational Medicine.
Such a gel could be extremely useful in protecting women from HIV, because it can provide protection either before or after sexual activity, said Rowena Johnston, vice president of research for amfAR, the Foundation for AIDS Research.
"If you're having sex that's in any way not anticipated, you might not have an opportunity to apply the microbicide before the sex happens," Johnston said. "In the heat of the moment, you might not always have time to say 'Stop, put everything on hold while I put this product in.'"
Don't expect the gel to be on the market anytime soon, however. Researchers are a few years away from human clinical trials, Heneine said, because they are working on improving the gel's effectiveness. And results of animal trials aren't necessarily replicated in humans.
The gel contains a 1-percent solution of the anti-HIV drug raltegravir (Isentress), and works by blocking the ability of the virus to integrate its DNA into the DNA of animal cells.
DNA integration is a crucial step in HIV infection but comes late in the infection process, typically more than six hours after exposure, the researchers found. Focusing preventive treatment on that specific step provides an hours-long window when people can take steps to protect themselves after exposure to HIV.
"It's really a very interesting leap," Johnston said. "If you do want something that would protect against HIV after exposure, then you want a drug that acts later on in the virus' life cycle."
Once the gel is applied, the HIV cannot transmit its DNA into cells, the researchers say.
"The DNA degrades and the cell does not become affected," Heneine said. Raltegravir has "been very effective in HIV treatment, and now we're looking at it in prevention," he added.
In the United States, the AIDS virus is mainly spread by having unprotected sex (sex without a condom) with someone infected with HIV, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Researchers first tested the gel's effectiveness pre-contact, by applying it to three monkeys who were exposed to HIV twice a week for seven weeks. By the end, two of the three remained HIV-free, compared with just one out of 10 monkeys in a group that received an inactive placebo gel.
The team then tested whether the gel could protect against HIV infection after exposure, using six monkeys exposed to HIV twice a week for two and a half months. By applying the gel three hours after exposure, researchers were able to protect five of the six monkeys from HIV infection. All four monkeys in the placebo group contracted HIV.
Such a gel, once through its clinical trials and approved, could become as widely used as birth control devices such as condoms and spermicidal gels, Johnston said.
"You can imagine this to be a useful product to have, if it were something you could buy over the counter and have at home just in case," she said.

Coping With a Child's Type 1 Diabetes Diagnosis
Did you know that kids who learn a lot about the risks of drugs from their parents are up to 50% less likely to use drugs?
Surveys of teens prove that our children are listening and that what we as parents say matters to them.
Having trouble talking to your kids about drugs? While it may seem difficult or be somewhat awkward, it's important that you have the conversation with them and keep the lines of communication open.
exist to help you get started. What follows is information and advice from experts from the
Partnership for a Drug Free America
about doing just that.
Getting started talking
This is the hard part: Broaching the subject.
Starting a conversation about alcohol, tobacco and other drugs with your kids is never easy – but it's also not as difficult as you may think.
Your teens may be pressing for independence, but the truth is they need to hear from you.
Use blocks of time such as after dinner, before bedtime, before school or on the drive to or from school and extracurricular activities to talk about drugs and why they're harmful.
Take advantage of everyday "teachable moments" and, in no time at all, you'll have developed a continuing dialogue with your child. Teachable moments refer to using everyday events in your life to point out things you'd like your child to know about.
Use the following "teachable moments" as a starting point, but develop others based on your own life:
Point out alcohol, tobacco and drug-related situations going on in your own neighborhood.
If you and your child are at the park and see a group of kids drinking or smoking, use the moment to talk about the negative effects of alcohol and tobacco.
Use newspaper headlines or TV news stories as a conversation starter.
The daily news is filled with stories that detail the consequences of alcohol and drug abuse. Talk to your child about the mother who used drugs and was arrested. Who will take care of her baby now? Did she make a good decision when she used drugs?
Watch TV with your kids, and ask them what they think.
Do the shows and advertising make drug use look acceptable and routine? Or do they show its downside? How did that program make your child feel about drugs? Write a letter with your child to companies or TV networks about the messages they put out about drugs. Also remember that anti-drug advertising – such as that from the Partnership for a Drug-Free America – is a great kickoff to discussion.
No loving relationship can exist without communication
Teens have valuable things to say and, when a parent listens genuinely, it helps self-esteem and confidence. The most important thing to remember when it comes to talking about difficult subjects like drinking and drugs is that it's not a five-minute "talk" — it's about building a continuing dialogue. As your children grow up, they will need more and more information, so start early and build on the conversation as your teen matures.
Virtually all parents in America (98%) say they've talked with their children about drugs; however, only 27% of teens (roughly one in four) say they're learning a lot at home about the risks of drugs, according to a national study by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America (PDFA).
There aren't enough hours in the day. Sometimes it's frustrating how few chances there are to have conversations about drugs with our children. In our busy culture, with families juggling the multiple demands of work, school, after-school activities, and religious and social commitments, it can be a challenge for parents and children to be in the same place at the same time.
Yet the better you communicate, the more at ease your teen will feel about discussing drugs and other sensitive issues with you.
Here are some tips:
Be absolutely clear
with your kids that you don't want them using drugs. Ever. Anywhere. Don't leave room for interpretation. And talk often about the dangers and results of drug and alcohol abuse. Once or twice a year won't do it.
with your teen and practice ways to refuse drugs in different situations. Acknowledge how tough these moments can be.
Be a better listener
. Ask questions - and encourage them. Paraphrase what your teen says to you. Ask for their input about family decisions. Showing your willingness to listen will make your teen feel more comfortable about opening up to you.
Give honest answers
. Don't make up what you don't know; offer to find out. If asked whether you've ever taken drugs, let them know what's important: That you don't want them using drugs.
Don't react in a way that will cut off further discussion
. If your teen makes statements that challenge or shock you, turn them into a calm discussion of why your teen thinks people use drugs, or whether the effect is worth the risk.
Introducing the topic of drugs
If you hear something you don't like (perhaps a friend smokes marijuana or your teen confesses to trying beer at a party), it is important not to react in any way that cuts off further discussion. If he seems defensive or assures you that he doesn't know anyone who uses drugs, ask him why he thinks people use them.
Discuss whether the risks are worth what people may get out of using them and whether he thinks it would be worth it to take the risks. Even without addiction, experimentation is too great a gamble. One bad experience, such as being high and misjudging how long it takes to cross a busy street, can change or end a life forever. If something interrupts your conversation, pick it up the next chance you get.
Conversations for Critical Times
What happens if you suspect that your teen is already using alcohol and drugs? What do you say to them? The conversation is the same: parents need to tell their kids that alcohol and drug use by teens is not allowed in your family. The issue won't go away until you do something. You will simply have to acknowledge that your teen has a problem — your teen is using drugs and that won't get any better until you take action on your teen's behalf. It is OK to ask for help. In fact, getting help may make it easier for you to have the conversation.
Practice the conversation ahead of time. You may have to have a couple of "practice runs." These conversations are not easy but they are worthwhile. Talking it over with your spouse/partner beforehand will help you keep a level head and speak to the issue. (Review some key talking points and practice these sample conversations beforehand.)
Make Agreements with Yourself
Tell yourself that you won't "lose it" with your teen. Anger and hostility won't get you anywhere in this conversation. Stay as calm as possible. Remember, you are the parent and you are in charge. Be kind, simple, and direct in your statements to your teen. Above all, remember to tell your teen that you love him or her! The conversation will not be perfect — no conversation ever is. Know that you are doing the right thing for your teen. That's what matters most!
: The National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign's Behavior Change Expert Panel at
Talk About the Risks of Drugs
In conversations with your teen, steer the subject to drugs and why they're harmful. If you can ingrain this information in your children well before they are faced with making difficult choices, experts say they'll be more likely to avoid rather than use. In fact, teenagers who say they've learned a lot about the risks of drugs from their parents are much less likely to try marijuana than those who say they've learned nothing from them.
You don't need to fear that by introducing the topic of drugs, you're putting ideas into your children's heads any more than talking about traffic safety might make them want to jump in front of a car. You're letting them know about potential dangers in their environment so that when they're confronted with them, they'll know what to do.
Answer the question, "Did you ever use drugs?"
For many parents, a child's "Did you ever use drugs?" question is a tough one to answer. Unless the answer is no, most parents stutter and stammer through an answer and leave their kids feeling like they haven't learned anything — or even worse, that their parents are hypocrites. Yes, it's difficult to know what to say. You want your kids to follow your rules, and you don't want them to hold your history up as an example to follow — or as a tool to use against you. But the conversation doesn't have to be awkward, and you can use it to your advantage by turning it into a teachable moment.
Some parents who used drugs in the past choose to lie about it — but they risk losing their credibility if their kids ever discover the truth. Many experts recommend that you give an honest answer — but you don't have to tell your kids every detail. As with conversations about sex, some details should remain private. And ask her a lot of questions to make sure you understand exactly why she's asking about your drug history. Limit your response to that information.
The discussion provides a great opportunity to speak openly about what tempted you to drugs, why drugs are dangerous, and why you want your kids to avoid making the same mistake. The following are good examples of the tone you can take and wording you can use:
"I took drugs because some of my friends used them, and I thought I needed to in order to fit in. In those days, people didn't know as much as they do now about all the bad things that can happen when you take drugs."
"Everyone makes mistakes, and trying drugs was one of my biggest mistakes ever. I'll do anything to help you avoid making the same stupid decision that I made when I was your age."
"I started drinking when I was young and, as you can see, it's been a battle ever since. Because of my drinking, I missed a big part of growing up, and every day I have to fight with myself so it doesn't make me miss out on even more — my job, my relationships, and most importantly, my time with you. I love you too much to watch you make the same mistakes I've made."
Help Your Kids Turn Down Drugs
There's almost no way you can shield your kids from finding out that illegal drugs, alcohol and tobacco exist — but you can help your child reject offers to try substances.
Before you work with your child on this issue, there's one thing you need to know: Kids don't usually get drugs from strangers. They get drugs from their friends. And that's the toughest issue of all — as you have to teach your kids that it's OK to say no to their friends, to the people they look to for validation, recognition and fun. Strongly encourage them to avoid friendships with kids who use drugs.
A great way to help kids prepare for drug-related situations is by role playing scenarios with them. It's important to practice these scenarios with your kids before these situations really happen.
Remember, teens rarely verbally pressure or chastise one another into drinking or doing drugs – the offer is usually casual. Peer pressure is more internal. For example, your child sees other teens that she wants to be friends with enjoying a drink or a drug and she feels like she wants to be part of it too. Or she may be afraid that the other teens will think she is less cool if she doesn't join them. Try to include this dynamic when you act out scenarios with your teens.
Use the following two scenarios as a starting point, but create new ones based on your child's life:
Scenario #1
Your son goes to a party at his friend's house and someone has a brought a bottle of vodka or some beer. Lots of the guys there, including older high school guys, are drinking and they ask him, "You want some?" Take the role of the older teens or of your son's friends who casually offer a can of beer or a shot of vodka to your son.
Help your child develop firm but friendly responses. Reassure him that his friends will respect his decision not to get involved. Remind him that people are pretty focused on themselves, which leaves much less space for them to be concerned with what others do.
Possible answers:
"No, thanks." "No, I'm not into that."
"Nah, man, I'm OK. Thanks."
"No, thanks. I'm on the _____ team and I don't want to risk it."
"Nah, I'm training for ______."
"No. I gotta go in a bit."
Scenario #2
Your daughter is at her friend's house with a few close pals and one of them pulls out a joint. Take the role of her friend offering it to the group.
Again, help her develop firm but friendly responses and reassure her that good friends will respect her decision not to try it. Possible answers:
"No, thanks, I'm not into that."
"No, thanks. I'm on the _____ team and I don't want to risk it."
"Nah, I'm training for ______."
"Nah. I get tested at work/school and I don't want to risk it."
"No, thanks. I don't like how it makes people not act themselves."
"No, I'm trying to stay healthy for _________.
Your kids will need to be prepared for protests from their peers. Suggest that they meet them with a "broken record" technique — just keep repeating the reason they don't want to drink, smoke, or do drugs. Then they can try to change the subject or, if all else fails, they should say they have to go home or ask their friend to leave.

Bill Moss, Sylvia Moffett win West Palm Beach commission seats
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — After $100,000 in total contributions, dozens of attack ads, cellphone robo-calls and a lawsuit, District 5 looks exactly like it has for the past 12 years.
Bill Moss survived the toughest re-election of his career, defeating attorney Dodger Arp for a seventh term on the commission, ultimately by a comfortable margin. In a much-less contested race in District 1, appointed Commissioner Sylvia Moffett earned her first full-term, defeating 22-year-old bank teller Sean Jackson and write-in candidate Paul McCullough.
Under commission term limits voters also approved Tuesday, Moss and Moffett, if re-elected, can serve in office until 2020. Commissioners will now be limited to serving four consecutive two-year terms in office. Another ballot question, to extend commission terms from two years to three, failed.
After running unopposed in 2010, Moss found himself in a tight contest against a well-financed candidate with widespread support in the district, which Moss had never won. But elections in West Palm Beach are citywide, and Moss had the support of Mayor Jeri Muoio, former Mayor Lois Frankel and much of the western communities, the city's most influential voting bloc.
The often ugly race became even more heated when Moss was sued for alleged defamation last week by Public Concepts, the political consulting firm that employs Arp. While Moss purchased an ad in The Palm Beach Post to apologize for incorrectly stating that Public Concepts had been fined in court for attacking public officials, the company went ahead with the lawsuit.
"You can't underestimate the voters," Moss said. "People were able to see through a lot of the negative campaigning and I think that made the difference. They learned the issues and in a small turnout like this, it's mostly the educated voters that vote."
For Arp supporters, it was a disappointing finish to a promising contest. Arp was backed by many of the south end's power players, including Commissioner Kimberly Mitchell. His campaign took a hit last week when a third candidate, David Smith, dropped out of the race and endorsed Moss. Arp's campaign was hoping for a runoff election that would have made Moss appear vulnerable.
Arp, who called Moss to concede, said he's looking forward to "being involved in West Palm Beach's future in any role that I possibly can."
"Bill is very popular in the western district and he obviously did very well out there," Arp said. "Anytime you're going up against a 12-year incumbent, we knew we had a real big challenge before us."
While Moffett had little name recognition when she was appointed last year to replace Molly Douglas, who resigned to run for mayor, Moffett was backed by Muoio and Frankel and benefited from opponents with little money or campaign structure.
"It shows the citizens are behind me, the citizens are voting for me, and I think it's quite different," Moffett said of no longer being appointed. "I'm going to work on quality-of-life issues in the neighborhoods, and we've got to make sure the water issues are delved into."
Jackson said he was proud of his campaign and that he will run again and plans to start a mayoral recall effort.
"I'm looking forward to doing it again in two years, and I'm looking forward to ensuring we have a new mayor," he said.
While Moffett and Moss are limited to eight more years, they'll have to run for re-election in two.
Moss had been a strong supporter of extending commission terms from two years to three years, arguing that commissioners can't focus on topics if they run for re-election every two years. But the ballot question failed.
The closest ballot question, eliminating a runoff if the top vote-getter receives at least 40 percent of the vote, appeared narrowly voted down with most precincts counted.
Several other ballot questions easily passed, including allowing commissioners to summon department heads to meetings. Previously, the mayor had to give approval for department heads to appear in front of the commission.
Also, vacancies caused by a commissioner resigning will now be filled by election instead of appointment.
Special elections will be less common, after voters agreed to extend the time between an initiative or referendum petition being filed before the election is held, as well as to extend the time of a mayoral appointment to make a special mayoral election coincide with November or March elections.

"I can multi-task, …because I can play the guitar and sing at the same time."
He's only five years old, but already has a busy schedule.
He attends K-1 at Saint Brigid's.
He takes swimming lessons at the Boston Athletic Club (BAC) on Saturdays, and loves to "Cannonball."
He participates in Karate Class on Tuesdays at the Ultimate Self Defense and Performance Center on West Broadway.
On Wednesdays, he plays basketball at the Tynan gym.
On Thursdays and Sundays, he skates in Arnie's Army at the Murphy Rink.
He likes to watch football and baseball on television but loves basketball.
Although he doesn't like the Yankees, his favorite player is still Johnny Damon.
His two best friends are Lukas McCarthy and Ryan Galvin, two boys he met while attending the Ollie and the Fourth Street Church Summer Camp.
His name is Matt Gregory McDonald.
Matt is a smart, young boy. He was nicknamed "The Governor" by his now deceased dad, Paul, and "Matt, Matt, The Swinging Cat" by his mom Luanne. He loves science and one of his favorite educational toys he received from Santa at Christmas, was his space set, showing all the planets and their relation to the Sun. Matt likes his new firehouse and fire engines, his Easy Bake set, his Pet Rock, and his air hockey game. Matt also has a special place in his heart for his red, white, and blue toy teddy bear he named Liberty Bear. Overall, his favorite toy is the space set, and his new book, "1000 Facts About Space."
"Mars is the Red Planet," said Matt. "It is the fourth planet from the Sun."
Matt also likes to play his guitar and sing. His friend Lukas is called Thunder, and he is Lightning, so the "Thunder and Lightning" Duo likes to play Rock and Roll.
"I can multi-task," said Matt. "Because I can play the guitar and sing at the same time."
Matt's favorite movies are "Thomas' Snowy Surprise" and The Polar Express." He loves meatloaf and green beans, and also likes chicken fingers and French Fries from Burgher King and Sully's.
Matt also cherishes vacationing at York Beach in Maine. His mom takes him to the Nubble Lighthouse, and for walks along Marginal Way in Perkins Cove to see the oceanic views. Luanne also takes Matt to the Fox Store for Ice Cream, and to Sweet Josie's Store for slush cones and above all else, Tootsie Rolls. His mom takes real good care of him.
While on vacation, Matt and his mom visit Fort McLeary, go to Long and Short Sands Beaches, and an amusement park called Funorama. Matt has a great time on the Hippy, Hippy, Hippo ride.
Matt is a fortunate, young, boy who has a caring and thoughtful mother. He is inquisitive and filled with an abundance of energy, willing and eager to explore the mysteries of science and space. He said that someday he would like to be an astronaut.
I didn't even hear about the term multi-task until I was 50-years old, and this kid is aware of it at the tender age of five.
And with that said, I think he'll do just fine in life

FedRAMP Overview
FedRAMP provides agencies and CSPs with a standard approach for conducting security assessments, and replacing varied and duplicative procedures across government. The FedRAMP approach is based on an accepted set of baseline security controls and consistent processes that have been vetted and agreed upon by agencies across the federal government.
A key part of the FedRAMP process involves CSPs working with 3PAOs to validate and verify that the cloud systems meet FedRAMP requirements. FedRAMP accredits Third Party assessors through a robust conformity assessment process. These accredited assessors are known as Third Party Assessment Organizations (3PAO). A 3PAO is essentially a cloud auditor - they perform initial and periodic assessments of cloud systems per FedRAMP requirements. This crucial action provides evidence of compliance with FedRAMP standards and plays an on-going role in ensuring cloud service providers meet applicable requirements. All FedRAMP provisional authorizations and CSP supplied packages must include an assessment by a FedRAMP accredited 3PAO to ensure consistency and transparency.
Share Your Experience with FedRAMP
Join the discussion with other Third Party Assessors working to meet FedRAMP requirements on the FedRAMP Forum.
Become an Accredited 3PAO
In order to become an accredited 3PAO under FedRAMP, candidate third party assessors must submit application materials demonstrating that they meet both technical competence in security assessment of cloud systems and management requirements for organizations performing inspections. FedRAMP has approved, the private sector organization, American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) to accredit FedRAMP Third Party Organizations (3PAOs). Through the use of technical experts as assessors and coordinating with the FedRAMP PMO, the A2LA assessment process involves a rigorous evaluation of technical competence of the 3PAOs, as well as an assessment of their compliance to the general requirements of ISO/IEC 17020. The FedRAMP PMO, however, will remain as the sole authority to approve FedRAMP 3PAOs. More information on working with A2LA and applying to become an accredited FedRAMP 3PAO can be found here.
The 3PAO accreditation program ensures that approved 3PAOs consistently perform security assessments with an appropriate level of rigor and independence. FedRAMP will only review security assessment packages from CSPs that have been assessed by an accredited 3PAO. Furthermore, only CSPs that use an accredited 3PAO are eligible for a Joint Authorization Board (JAB) Provisional Authorization.
Conduct a Security Assessment of a CSP
CSPs implement and document security controls as specified in the FedRAMP Security Control Baseline. Independent assessors perform initial and periodic assessment of Cloud Service Provider (CSP) systems implementation of FedRAMP security controls, provide evidence of compliance, and play an on-going role in ensuring CSPs meet FedRAMP requirements. Once engaged with a CSP, 3PAOs develop Security Assessment Plans, perform testing of cloud security controls, and develop Security Assessment Reports. Depending on the authorization granted, the Join Authorization Board, FedRAMP Information System Security Officers (ISSOs) and Agency ISSOs will extensively review these documents in determining whether to grant an authorization.

What CPU should I look for?
(Posted: 15th Oct, 2012)
The single most important component in your laptop is its central processing unit, or CPU. Essentially the brain of a computer, this processor has a huge impact on what applications you can run, how smoothly they run, and how many you can run at the same time.
Core i7: Intel's newest line of mobile CPUs adopts the high-end graphics/gaming performance of the desktop Core i7 line, and is expressly for those who want top-end power--namely, hard-core gamers and those who prefer desktop-level graphics processing power. The Core i7 Mobile series has better power management than its desktop cousins, but they still draw more power than other laptop CPUs, and will generally be found only in larger desktop replacement laptops.
Core 2 Duo: This is Intel's ubiquitous mainstream processor, which comes in a variety of designs based on processor speed and manufacturing size. A newer line of Core 2 Duo CULVs (consumer ultralow-voltage processors) have slightly slower performance, but allow for longer battery life, and are showing up in new ultrathin laptops, where space, cooling, and battery life are key issues.
Atom: Intel's entry-level single-core processors are found primarily in the popular Netbook category. Their limited performance is best for simple, single-task computing such as e-mail, basic Web browsing, and office document work. They're fine for low-expectation budget computers, but are unable to play most games or HD video. Common Atom chips include the N270 and the N280, and you should generally avoid the slower Z-series Atoms, intended more for handheld mobile devices than laptops. Revisions to the Atom line are due in early 2010.
Also from Intel
Core 2 Quad: As the name implies, these are four-core processors that excel at multitasking and computing that requires running multiple apps at once.
Core 2 Solo: Some of Intel's ultralow-voltage processors (ULVs) still have only a single core. These sit somewhere between the Atom and the dual-core ULV CPUs. They're often seen in ultraportable laptops that aim for small sizes and good battery life but leave our mainstream features such as optical drives. While these chips are a small performance step up from the Atom, the price premium asked for them makes us suggest holding out for a dual-core ULV processor.
Pentium Dual-Core: Multicore CPUs that don't qualify for the Core 2 Duo tag are marketed as Pentium Dual-Core. We've seen these in very inexpensive mainstream laptops, and they're a good value if you need a dual-core 14- or 15-inch laptop for less than $600.
Celeron: There are still a handful of Celeron processors available in the least-expensive mainstream laptops. As trading up to a Pentium Dual-Core laptop can be as little as $50 more, we suggest avoiding Celeron CPUs.
AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core: AMD's alternative to Intel's Core 2 Duo processor amounts to an affordable budget alternative in mainstream laptops, but we've found that Intel CPUs consistently perform better in similarly priced systems. This has not always been the case, and these two companies have swapped the top performance spot more than once over the years.
AMD Athlon Neo: Found in thin-and-light notebooks and Netbooks, the Neo is one of AMD's newer processors. It favors long battery life and low power consumption, similar to Intel's Atom processor. Unfortunately, the systems we've seen with the single-core Neo have been more expensive than Atom Netbooks, with very little performance boost. The new X2 version of the Neo is a dual-core part, and has some potential.
AMD Turion X2: This is AMD's low-power-consumption version of its mainstream laptop CPU.
Via Nano: A third low-power processor option for Netbooks, the Nano is from chipmaker Via. The handful of Netbooks we've seen with Nano offer similar-to-better performance than the Intel Atom, and Via says this CPU is eventually destined for a wider range of products than just Netbooks.

How Do I Restore my Laptop to Factory settings?
(Posted: 19th Oct, 2012)

How to Make Sure Your Laptop Is Virus Free?
(Posted: 19th Oct, 2012)
Computer viruses can slow down a laptop's performance, cause multiple pop-up ads to appear and steal personal information such as bank account numbers and security passwords. Viruses can be spread over WiFi networks as well, requiring diligence from WiFi users, many of whom use laptops. Ensuring that your laptop remains virus-free requires regular maintenance and safe Internet habits.
1. Avoid opening e-mail attachments. Attachments are one of the most common ways for viruses to be spread so you should only open one if you are expecting it and know its contents.
2. Avoid websites known for spreading malicious software. Pornography sites and peer-to-peer networks are known for having many different varieties of viruses that can harm your laptop. Peer-to-peer networks are sites that connect your computer to files on other computers worldwide, either through a download or a bit-torrent system, for the purpose of file sharing. Many viruses can be spread through this process disguised as something else.
3. Keep your firewall active. A firewall is a security program that monitors the network activity of the computer and blocks suspected malware programs from accessing the system. Most laptops come with a standard firewall program. Check your Control Panel if you have a PC or System Preferences if your have a Mac and you'll see a "Security Options" tab that will show if you have a firewall installed and if it is working.
4. Install an antivirus program on your laptop if you don't have one already. There are a number of free programs available such as AVG Antivirus and Avira that provide virus protection.
5. Update your antivirus software regularly to ensure you have the most up-to-date virus definitions. Virus definitions are descriptions of the latest viruses and how they function, which gives the scanner a blueprint of what to look for when scanning.
6. Scan your computer for viruses at least once a week to locate and capture and possible virus files before they can spread and damage your system.
7. Update your Web browser regularly to make sure any discovered security flaws are repaired.
8. Notice any behavior variations in your system. If your laptop's performance slows down, pop-up ads start appearing or any other unusual behavior starts occurring, perform a virus scan and if it doesn't solve the problem. have your computer serviced by a virus specialist.

What is DOA?
(Posted: 7th Nov, 2012)
DOA ( Dead On Arrival) Now this doesn't necessarily mean that it has to be in a state of totally dead out of the box but basically it means that the unit is clearly faulty out of the box (no use) - i.e. doesn't power on, can't detect hdd - something that is clearly a hardware fault and not caused by software or improper use from the customer.

Around a quarter of couples keep their current accounts entirely separate, a study by Prudential shows.
Additionally, 25 per cent of those surveyed admitted to keeping a stash of money secret from their partner, with an average secret savings pot of £4,000.
Many said their secret stash is to pay for something specific in the future such as a car or a dream holiday.
Around 6 per cent of couples admit they have never discussed their finances together and a further 12 per cent have not discussed money for over a year.
It appears some couples are even reluctant to tell their partners how much they earn.
Some 13 per cent of those asked said they have never told their other half what their wages are and claim their partner has a false impression of their earnings.
The report also showed many couples have received at least one bonus payment that they kept quiet.
Vince Smith-Hughes, retirement expert at Prudential, said: "Many people may have perfectly valid reasons for keeping a stash of savings or personal debts secret from their other halves.
"However, these financial secrets could pose a serious risk to a couple's future retirement income."
The reasons given for not coming clean on finances with partners are:
This culture of secrecy could also be partly as a result of fears that financial conversations will spark arguments at home.
Money is behind only household chores and family issues as a subject most likely to cause domestic disagreement, according to the research.
Smith-Hughes said such money secrecy could be leading to couples jeopardising a comfortable retirement by keeping debts hidden from their other halves.
These debts were worth an average of £7,800, the survey showed.
Many couples over the age of 40 have avoided discussing their retirement plans in the last five years.
Some 11 per cent have never even mentioned it, according to the new research.
However, 14 per cent admit that they or their partner have seen a financial adviser alone to discuss retirement planning.
Smith-Hughes added: "If a couple reach retirement with savings that are secret from one another they may have missed out on years of tax relief.
"They would have been entitled to this relief if the money had been invested in a pension."
Avoiding discussions around retirement can lead to a mismatch in how much money each half of a couple expects to live on in retirement.
When asked separately to estimate the couple's expected joint retirement income, men said £35,100 on average and women £32,000.
"Having those potentially awkward conversations so that both partners get a full understanding of their joint financial circumstances is important", Smith-Hughes said.
"This is the first step for a couple planning for a comfortable retirement."

One of the types of shoots I am often asked to do is photograph golfers at Bandon Dunes. I love a great day outside, walking the (6 MILE!) course and getting to know a group of guys who consider Bandon Dunes Golf Course to be their Golfing Mecca.
There are a lot of reasons people hire me to shoot their round. For most it's a once in a lifetime trip. Bandon Dunes is world renowned, and it's no easy task to get here! From the East Coast it's easier to get to Scotland than Bandon! :) But once you arrive this place pulls you in and wins you over. Many of these golfers do travel the world for the sport. Playing rounds from Scotland to Pebble Beach to Bandon, and never actually take any photos of their round! It's a lot to think about, the courses are tough and require a lot of concentration, photos take a back seat to a low score. I take the job of documenting their adventure seriously. I take photos of the tee shots, the putt planning, the reactions to the thrill of victory as well as the agony of defeat. Details like the yardage markers, bags set up over the sweeping vistas, and their drinks of choice for the round. I love the walk and the camaraderie, it's truly a special event for me as well.
This group of guys was from Chicago, North Dakota and Indiana and had the round of their lives. It was a pleasure to be a part of it! With 18 holes, 12 golfers and two photographers, this is but a very tiny taste of the images we captured! You can check out a few more >>>HERE<<<Golf Documentary Photography is definitely an adventure! If a round at Bandon Dunes is on your bucket list, please contact me to document it for you. It's a trip you'll never want to forget!angela @ cardasphotography. com
541 936- 2755
Check out a slideshow with more photos and beautiful video footage from Bandon Dunes that one of these golfers put together here:
One of my favorite things about photographing people is documenting the big moments, high school graduation, engagement, wedding, maternity, newborn and baby milestones. From the very first newborn session I look forward to the 1st birthday session. I love love love watching baby discover the cake and frosting for the first time, realize it's just for them and then DIG IN! Some are more careful, some throw their whole selves into that cake, it's all about their personality, and I adore documenting it.
If you are as big a fan of Instagram as I am - then you will LOVE this!! (Full disclaimer - I don't benefit from this post, I was a beta tester for the process last year, now I'm just a happy customer!) I am a firm believer in the power of a printed photograph. Of course I LOVE sharing my clients photos on my Facebook page, and I LOVE posting my slices of life to Instagram, and occasionally I even update this blog! lol
But how long will these websites be around? Remember MySpace? Geocities? Friendster? The internet is a fickle thing, as is the digital file. Computer crashes, viruses, and plain ol' human error have deleted many a family memory. But a book is different. It's real. It's substantial, it's just special. It's always there, even if the power is out, or you've gotten a new computer, or your internet is down.
I know - life is busy and frankly, digital photography has made capturing images overwhelming. It used to be that we just dropped a roll of film in an envelope and 24-36 shiny prints would come back about a week later. Now instead of 36 images from our kid's birthday party, we have 456. Instead of 60-75 from our wedding, we have 1250. We also feel the need to make them them better after we take them, sharper, more vivid, whatever, just adding more work to an overwhelming task. So it doesn't get done. Weeks, months, years go by and the photos just keep piling up, taunting you with their un-done-ness... adding to the guilt is the pressure that they could disappear from your computer or phone at any time, when was the last time you backed them up?
I know. It's hard. But this is easy. Connect your Instagram account to Bookto.me, choose once a month, or once every three months, and that's it. They'll take all your Instagram photos and assemble them in a hard bound book and mail it to you, every time, with zero work on your part. Just keep taking pictures of your life. Don't want a photo included in the book? No problem, just use hashtag #nobtm and it's out.
As you can see - I'm a fan.
And that's it - I love it, I don't worry about Instagram going out of business, I don't worry about my phone suddenly wiping clean of all my photos. I have what I love in REAL LIFE! I know - what a concept huh?!

If there is one thing I LOVE shooting (besides Weddings of course) is Families. I know that this is such a hectic time in our lives, and we don't always feel like we look our very best after keeping all these little creatures alive and fed, but the time goes by SO quickly, and the next thing you know, they're moved out and on to starting their own families. If you are inspired this Summer to take that next step, and capture your family (in whatever combination that it may be right this minute), then give me a call and let's get it done!

PHIL YOUR BOOTS: How to star on the Wall of Fame
Last updated at 13:54, Saturday, 14 April 2012
IT was good to see the lads get back on track with a good second-half performance against an enthusiastic Gateshead Thunder side last week.
Thunder are a much-improved outfit from the last couple of years and they play a tight, disciplined game, which takes patience to break down.
Their coach Kevin Neighbour will know it as much as anyone, but if he could get some pace in their team, they would be an even trickier side than they already are.
The main reason our second half was much improved was the fact we played with more intensity and pace, allowing our half-backs to control the game better.
On the back of that, Cammy (Liam Campbell) scored a very good hat-trick.
Liam's strengths are his support play and running game. We really encourage all our half-backs to run at defences as pace worries teams and, with one exception, they all have good wheels!
Another hat-trick man was Dan Toal, who I thought was outstanding, not just for the tries but his all-round game.
After the game, the lads had a rare night out together around Ulverston, with Dan showing there is nightlife away from Cornwallis Street. No doubt Dan will have attracted a lot of attention from people interested in how his new career is going, however, in the Globe, while sampling one of Wendy's lager shandies, he was overheard to have said it should be his photo on the wall, not one of a certain ex-player also from Ulverston!
Wendy knows her rugby league and has sponsored the club in various ways over the years. You don't get on the Globe's Wall of Fame for nothing, although it does help if it was your local!
It was a good achievement for both Liam and Dan to score trebles in the same game.
I was asked earlier in the week when was the last time two players scored hat-tricks in the same game?
I can't answer that question, but I am sure Keith Nutter or Steve Andrews would have a better idea. I wouldn't bet against it involving Nico (James Nixon), the Bull (Liam Harrison) or Khamel Ganley though.
Tomorrow has us visiting Oldham's Whitebank Stadium for the second time in a fortnight to fight for a place in the next round of the Challenge Cup.
We want to lay a marker down to the hosts, showing them there is more to us than they saw in the first game.
Also for the health of the club's bank balance, it is important we get into the hat and hopefully get one of the big boys up to Craven Park in a couple of weeks.
Hope to see you tomorrow.

Do you need to find the perfect gift for your sister who is having a baby but you can't seem to find something special enough in local department stores? How about that adorable baby your best friend just had? Don't you want something special that they will cherish forever? Or what about your husband's boss who just had a baby? You can't get just any old gift! If you need to find unique gifts for mom and baby, you should be shopping at Baby and Me Gifts.
In 2007, Jackie Myers launched Baby and Me Gifts as a way to promote those fabulous but hard to find, unique gifts for babies and mothers. A stay-at-home mom herself, Jackie wanted a way to be able to stay at home with her family and provide income at the same time. I was able to interview Jackie and ask her a few questions about her business, knowing that there are many moms out there who have wanted to start something themselves at one time or another.
Q: Where did your idea for Baby and Me Gifts come from?
A: Inspired by being a mother myself, my elementary teaching and developmental therapy background, I began my mission of researching and selecting unique baby gifts and mom gifts to represent on BabyAndMeGifts.com. I wanted to provide other moms and babies with a one stop shop to find unique gifts for baby and mom that couldn't be found in the normal department stores and on-line retailers.
Q: What are the advantages/good points about your business?
A: I love the flexibility. I am able to work while my daughter naps and goes to bed at night. I love interaction with my customers too! It is also great keeping up with the latest unique baby gear. There are so many other SAHM's that are producing wonderful products. It is great to be able to help them out too!
Q: What are the challenges of a home based business?
A: Challenges are finding how to balance time with work and being a stay at home mom. You have to have drive and dedication. If you aren't passionate about your own business, it is easy for it to fail.
Q: What is the secret to your success? How do you manage it all?
A: I have a very supportive husband. Not only does he give me great advice and keep me motivated, he is someone who helps me tweak my website when I need it. I have had to learn time management and how to think one step ahead. This has required me to learn to be more self disciplined!
Q: Any final thoughts or ideas you'd like to share?
A: BabyAndMeGifts.com has created a successful niche for itself by selling high quality, unique gifts, that are made or recommended by parents. I wanted to help support other local mompreneurs around the Indianapolis area and the rest of the country. Parents are able to submit their products/inventions for review and also suggest products for BabyAndMeGifts.com to carry in their on-line store. I am delighted to offer their unique products on my on-line baby boutique. Plus, I know that my customers will love the products because they were made with love and recommended with love by other customers.

text: The Age of Reagan Is Over Barack Obama's coalition is real, Ross Douthat admits By Kevin Spak, Newser Staff Posted Nov 7, 2012 12:45 PM CST STORY COMMENTS (115) (Newser) – Conservatives wanted to believe that Barack Obama's 2008 victory was a one-time affair, a unique confluence of events. Now they know better. It's a genuine realignment, writes Ross Douthat in the New York Times. Obama won with the same coalition he marshaled in 2008. "It was the late George McGovern's losing coalition from 1972 finally come of age: Young voters, the unmarried, African Americans, Hispanics, the liberal professional class—and then more than enough of the party's old blue collar base to hold the Rust Belt." "The Obama coalition was vulnerable," Douthat insists, but "only to a Republican party that took Obama seriously as an opponent." Instead they clung to the belief that the rhetoric of the '80s could win in 2012. Romney lost because he lacked the imagination to reinvent his party, and because "his party didn't particularly want to be reinvented." The right may yet manage that, but they'll have to face facts: "The age of Reagan is officially over, and the Obama majority is the only majority we have." Click for Douthat's full column.

LSU brew in the works
BATON ROUGE, La (NBC33) — It's official. An LSU beer is in the works at a local microbrewery.
"People are really excited about it," says William McGehee. He's the co-owner of Tin Roof Brewing Company, less than a mile from the LSU campus. The company recently teamed up with the university to work on licensing a beer specific to the purple and gold.
"It was a perfect partnership," says Chancellor Michael Martin. "They're right near campus and they're LSU grads, and they're trying to make this little enterprise go."
The start-up company began brewing their beer less than a year ago, and they've stayed pretty close to their roots. They approached LSU about making a beer for the college town, and school leaders loved the idea.
They're not the only ones. Once word got out about the LSU brew, everyone had a suggestion.
"People want to be involved," says McGehee. "We've had people calling and giving us suggestions for names and what style of beer they'd like."
The beer is still in it's initial stages. McGehee and his business partner, Charles Caldwell, are working to finalize paperwork on the beer before they decide to release the name. Once they start brewing, it will be distributed by Mockler Beverage.
It's great news for the school because LSU will be cashing in on the royalties from the drink. School leaders say they're not sure just how much, yet, but any extra revenue is helpful right now.
"Everyone's conscious about the budget situation," says Charles D'Agostino, executive director of Louisiana Business and Technology Center at LSU. "This isn't going to solve [the problem], but at least its being entrepreneurial, and bringing dollars into the university."
This partnership will do more than bring beer-lovers a new favorite beverage. LSU students will benefit, too.
"It's less about beer and more about education," explains Chancellor Martin.
Students will tap into a number of opportunities in the brewing industry. Tin Roof Brewing Company will actually house classes and internships right at their facility. Students will be involved in the entire brewing process, from grain to glass.
"We're getting to train people and they can go out all around the country, or maybe stay here, or maybe open their own brewery," says McGehee. "One of the biggest things that I wish I had gotten out of college was more practical, real world experience."
Leaders say the experiement is worth a try, hoping a little taste of Tiger Town will go a long way for the university. "It's hard to deny that there is some beer consumed on Saturdays, and as long as it's being consumed, let's see if we can have some of our students benefit from that consumption from a production standpoint," says Martin.

News Release 523
Camp Pin Oak dining lodge burns at Lake of the Ozarks State Park
Volume 38-523 (For Immediate Release)
Contact: Judd Slivka
JEFFERSON CITY, MO., SEPT. 3, 2010 – The dining lodge at the Camp Pin Oak Group Camp in Lake of the Ozarks State Park was completely destroyed by fire early Friday morning, according to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
"This is a great loss for the people of Missouri and for our state park system," said Governor Jay Nixon this morning. "This historic dining lodge was one of the finest examples of Civilian Conservation Corps buildings in all of the state park system's group camps, and held many happy memories for generations of Missouri scouts and campers."
The fire was first spotted by residents across the lake and the Osage Beach Fire District was notified at 2:10 a.m. Park officials consider the dining hall a complete loss. The fire marshall's preliminary report indicated the fire was of unknown origin but noted that there were strong storms with lightning in the area at the time. The investigation will continue.
The structure was a combination dining hall and recreation hall for the group camp, which was built between 1934-1938. The camp has been used by many organized youth groups, including Girl Scouts, since 1938.
Bill Bryan, director of the department's Division of State Parks, said it is too soon to determine what the next step will be, but noted that "nothing will be able to truly replace this historic structure that has served campers for more than 70 years."
The camp was not occupied at the time of the fire. It has been reserved for all weekends during September and park officials are trying to accommodate these groups in other facilities or group camps. Pin Oak Group Camp is one of four group camps located in Lake of the Ozarks State Park.
