Certificate Management System (CMS)
"PKI has played a quiet security role for two decades, but it never fully realized its potential.
Mobility, the Internet of Things and new architecture trends have caused a resurgence of interest in PKI." – Gartner
Industry Trends and the Need for Secure Digital Identity
Three key industry trends are driving the need for secure digital identity. The emergence of BYOD 'bring your own device' computing; the federated internet, where application services are connected over public networks; and the emergence of the 'Internet of Things' with IP and OS enabled devices providing a flood of sensor derived data from medical, utility, manufacturing and other uses.
These trends are driving massive infrastructure development across the enterprise, but the underlying mechanism that drives the secure connectivity between all these scenarios is public/private key infrastructure (PKI). PKI relies on trusted relationships to establish and manage identity, encryption and signing/authorization between services, users and devices.
The CMS Advantage
Certificate Management System (CMS) is the leading product for issuing and managing certificates across these infrastructures. Uniquely designed for making the issuance, revocation, and management of ALL the certificates in an organization highly scalable and cryptographically secure. CMS is the only certificate management product in the industry that is not based on a model of "per certificate fees." As the three trends outlined above accelerate, today's enterprise will experience an explosion in the number of certificates that are under management. With on device support for Linux, Java and Windows certificate processes and a deep reporting and alerting infrastructure, CMS brings IT professionals everything they need to manage their certificate infrastructure.

Asked about a two-pronged approach comprising both news coverage and a blog, Yemma replied:
If we thought a blog would be effective at generating a following and we thought it was the best use of our limited manpower we wouldn't hesitate to go in that direction. That's not the case for us now.
That's a reasonable response, of course, and more significant than it might seem at first glance. Over the last few years, it seems like it has become conventional wisdom in newsrooms that a blog is the best way to cover topics like the environment with limited resources, and perhaps it is. But The Christian Science Monitor is doing the industry a favor by at least questioning that notion.
Blogs are powerful tools, of course, but ideally they complement strong news coverage—they don't substitute for it. As Yemma indicated, a lot depends on reader demand, but if the choice is between specialized blog coverage and general news coverage, editors might want to consider the latter. It may seem like an old fashioned approach for an outlet racing headlong into the Digital Age, but the news comes first.

Off-Campus Study & Exchanges
Policies and Procedures
Financial Policies
- Students studying abroad, through the Skidmore-Spelman Exchange program, Washington
Semester program or the Semester in Environmental Science (Woods Hole) program will
be charged the Skidmore comprehensive fee for their semester or year off campus. (Note:
Skidmore's comprehensive fee will differ from the fees of the program providers.)
This fee is equal to Skidmore tuition, room at the on campus apartment rate, board
if applicable, and mandatory college fees. Students are required to use program arranged room and board where available. Additionally, if provided a housing option, students are required to select a homestay.
Students desiring an alternative to program housing or a homestay should consult with
an OCSE Program Manager. If the program does not include room and/or board, or only
partial board, the comprehensive fee will be adjusted accordingly. Students are responsible
for paying any refundable deposits and non-included fees directly on-site or to the
program provider.
- All off-campus study participants will be billed by Skidmore's Bursar for the Skidmore
comprehensive fee.
- Students studying on an Approved Program should be aware that their program provider's
mandatory course enrollment and maximum credit load for the semester may differ from
Skidmore's 15 semester credit requirement. Should a student opt to add an additional
credit-bearing course(s) that is not included in the provider's mandatory courseload,
he/she will be responsible for paying any supplemental fees for said course directly
to the provider. Additionally, if a student elects to enroll in courses during his/her
off-campus program that have not been approved for academic credit and therefore are
not transferable to Skidmore, he/she will be responsible for payment of said course
fees. Occasionally, students must enroll in additional coursework in order to stay
on track for graduation. If the program provider considers these additional courses
to be an overload, the student should consult with OCSE regarding this policy.
- Students studying on a Skidmore Program will be subject to the college's policy on
overloads. (Please refer to the Bursar's webpage.)
- All students studying on an off-campus program will submit a $500.00 non-refundable
confirmation fee two weeks after receiving approval from the Committee on Academic
Standing (CAS) to study off campus; $400 of the deposit will be credited to your Skidmore
College account and the remaining $100 constitutes a processing fee. Students studying
on an Approved Program are responsible for paying any refundable deposits, most commonly
a housing deposit, directly to the program provider.
- Skidmore will handle payments to the program providers on behalf of students. However
some providers will submit invoices directly to students via mail, email or their
proprietary online system. Students that receive invoices for expenses which are covered under Skidmore's comprehensive
fee must submit them to OCSE for payment. Do not disregard invoices that you receive, doing so may jeopardize your enrollment
in the program. Additionally, failure to submit the invoices in a timely fashion
to OCSE may lead some providers to impose late fees which will be the students' responsibility.
- For Skidmore and Approved Programs abroad, as well as the Skidmore-Spelman Exchange,
Washington Semester and Semester in Environmental Science programs, Skidmore will
cover tuition and mandatory academic fees, room (double occupancy), board if applicable,
mandatory medical insurance, and any other mandatory program fees. Students are responsible
for airfare, on site transportation if not included in the provider's program fee,
books, accommodation upgrades, board where applicable, voluntary field trips and excursions,
refundable deposits, and personal expenses. Students are also responsible for their
housing and board when participating in programs that do not include those items.
The Skidmore Comprehensive fee will be adjusted accordingly in these cases.
- Students may use financial aid on all Skidmore and International and Domestic Approved Programs. Students receiving financial aid should speak with a Financial Aid representative to review possible aid changes based on increased expenses.

Jenn and I planned to make caramel apple cupcakes without even chatting about it first! I guess those Fall flavors are just in the air and we're ready to get baking!! Apples, cinnamon, nutmeg… OH MY!
You may remember the Tree Hugger Apple cupcakes I made before! I brought them to my first Cupcake Camp and they were a HUGE success! My very first recipe I came up with on my own from scratch! I knew I didn't want to make these caramel apple cupcakes exactly the same, but some elements of it I knew were too good to pass up.
I started these Caramel Apple Cupcakes with the same pan cooked chopped apples that I used with my Tree Hugger Apple cupcakes. Sugar, apples, lemon, and spices cooked on low heat to create a ooey gooey apple filling. Seriously, I could eat it by the spoonful.
Apple Mixture
Makes about 2 cups apple mixture
3 Granny Smith apples, diced
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 tbsp hot water + 1 tbsp corn starch
- Over medium high heat, mix together all the ingredients in a frying pan on the stove.
- Bring to a boil then reduce to low and cook for about 10 minutes. Stirring frequently.
- Set aside to cool completely.
Apple Cream Cheese Filling
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
3 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup apple mixture
1 tbsp heavy cream (optional)
- Cream together the cream cheese and butter using an electric mixer with a paddle attachment.
- Slowly add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
- Mix in the vanilla.
- Add the apple mixture and mix on low until just combined.
- If mixture is too thick, add a tbsp of heavy cream to smooth out.
1 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1lb powdered sugar
2-3 tbsp heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
3-4 tbsp caramel syrup
- Cream the butter and brown sugar together.
- Mix in the vanilla.
- Add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth.
- Add the cream to loosen.
- Mix in the caramel syrup and mix until smooth.
- Beat on high for 30 seconds, scrape the sides of the bowl and beat again.
Apple Cupcakes
Makes 18 full size cupcakes and 24 mini cupcakes
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 cup canola oil
1/2 cup applesauce
1/4 cup apple juice
1 tbsp vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 cup apple mixture
- Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Line cupcake pans with liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, oil, applesauce, juice and vanilla.
- In a medium bowl, whisk/sift together the flour, soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Add the flour to the wet mixture and mix together just until combined.
- Fold in the apple mixture.
- Fill regular size liners about 2/3 full. Fill mini liners 1/2 full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Rotate pan after 12 minutes of baking.
- Cool in pans for about 7 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
- After cool, cut a cone out of the center of each regular size cupcake. Trim off the bottom of the cone.
- Core out the center of each mini cupcake using an apple corer.
- Fill each cupcake with the cream cheese apple mixture. Replace to tops of the regular size cupcakes only. (I used a small ice cream scoop to fill the regular size cupcakes and a piping bag to fill the mini's)
- Top with caramel buttercream and then rim with your favorite topping. (Nuts, candy, sprinkles, caramel sauce)
- Insert popsicle stick or lollipop stick into center of cupcake.
17 Comments on Caramel Apple Cupcakes
These are perfect fall cupcakes! I see an award somewhere for these.. I think a show like Good Morning America should invite you to come on live and make them for everyone to see!!
Omg these are so cute! And yummy looking. Must…make…these…cupcakes.
Did you make your own Caramel syrup?
hey there! i love your website! my daughter is turning 5 in december so i decided to do a cupcake theme party for her so i am going to make a few batchs of mini cupcakes and i stumbled on this recipe and figured i would give it a try. well this was the first time that i have ever cooked anything from scratch so i made a few runs to the store before it was over with but the end product was preeetttttyyyy good if i must say myself! i did a uh oh and used margirine instead of real butter and had to remake my icing because it was too runny and i ended up having to use self rising flour instead of all purpose i omitted the baking soda and salt and the cupcakes turned out a little crumbly…they just had a weird texture…sorta dry i guess…im not sure but im banking on the fact that i didnt follow your recipe to the T! but even after that they were really good! my daughter loved them!!! oh and the apple mixture that you cook up smells like heaven! great recipe!
I made these with a fav caramel icing recipe for a charity bake off and won. These are outstanding! These will be on the Thanksgiving dessert table this year!
I just made these and the only thing different I did was use apple cider instead of apple juice and didnt use applesauce because I dont have any. The cupcakes taste great….but they sunk in the middle.
Could it be because I live in a higher altititude? (I'm in AZ) or is it because I didnt use applesauce?
Thanks so much! -
Hey! I made these and the apple mixture only made 1 cup…but everything else made a double batch (24 regular sized and like a million minis). They're tasty but I have ssssooooooooooooo many!

10 January 2005 - for immediate release
TO SHOW that science can be fun and accessible, Thinktank, Birmingham's science museum at Millennium Point, has invited some of the brightest young scientists from the region's universities to give demonstrations and perform experiments for visiting school parties and the general public.
One of the first academics to take part was Dr Yvonne Perrie from Aston University's Pharmacy School.
From 13 January visitors will be able to either 'Meet the Scientist' on one of the ten exhibition galleries or drop in to the Thinktank theatre for a free talk on a topical issue.
Dr Kenny Webster, Thinktank's resident scientist explains: 'Science does have an image problem and there's no doubt it is losing out to allegedly more 'sexy' subjects at school and in the media.� We're seeing fewer young people studying the traditional science disciplines and that's having a knock-on effect on further education.
'Our job at Thinktank is to show that science and technology affect all our lives - past, present and future.� Being a scientist can be one of the most fulfilling careers imaginable, while what scientists do can make a huge difference to the way we live and the world at large.� With more and more technologies, such as GM foods and stem cells, involving ethical issues, we as consumers and citizens need to know at least a bit about the moral, economic and environmental challenges involved.'
Kenny has brought together lecturers, researchers and postgraduate students from Aston, Birmingham, UCE and Warwick universities.� Over the coming weeks they will be covering a wide range of topics including medicine, pharmacy, genetics, chemistry, computer science, space science and immunology.

NOT the Fast Lane
Who said educational stuff can't be fun too? NOT Kettering's ASME chapter - they hosted a design competition based more on control than speed.
Getting the creative juices flowing (AND getting a few extra credit points) right before finals was motivation for about 80 Kettering students to engage in a friendly competition sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Their March 19 design contest for the "laziest ball" generated some interesting structures meant to slow a dropped ball's progress. The winning time was 13.4 seconds from the drop site to the finish. The winning team was Paul Ovares and Ben Helmreich. Winners received a $100 gift certificate to Best Buy.
Using high tech materials such as popsicle sticks, electrical tape, hot glue, rubber bands and foam padding, more than 40 teams spent four hours engineering structures designed to slow the progress of a foosball dropped through a tube from a 24-inch elevation.
Teams employed a variety of methods to slow down their ball, including creating tiny speed bumps and multiple switchbacks in their tracks. One team even glued a slice of pizza to their structure, its use was unexplained except that the team was "working on the intimidation factor."
To have accurate timing capabilities, event organizer Nash Hale, a senior Mechanical Engineering student from Wilmington, N.C., worked with Electrical Engineering student Ryan Pline, of Lansing, Mich., to develop a timing device that would record ball travel time for each design project. "It was an interdisciplinary effort," Hale said. The ball was dropped through a tube in the plexiglass platform to start the counter and dropped into a plastic cup to stop the counter.
According to Dr. Raghu Echempati, associate professor of Mechanical Engineering, the winning device will be useful in teaching relevant classes, such as Dynamics. "Students can use the winning structure to do simple calculations using Newton's laws of motion and energy principles to predict the traveling time for the rolling ball, and to compare the theoretical predictions with the actual experimental time," said Echempati, "The effects of friction can also be studied for this problem," he said. "There is a lot of educational value in this design contest."
And for some students, the educational value includes those extra credit points offered by a number of Mechanical Engineering faculty. Every little bit helps the week before finals.

Get AccessAbstract
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is common in most industrialised countries and childhood IBD accounts for nearly 30% of total cases. Various studies, mostly from Europe and USA have reported epidemiological characteristics of childhood IBD. The incidence figures vary greatly from region to region and within a region over time. Almost all reported studies have documented an increase in the incidence, mainly of Crohn's disease over the last few decades. The reasons for the increase are not clear but epidemiological observations have led to many postulates. Incidence in developing countries is perceived to be low, but limited data suggest that it may not be as uncommon as previously thought. IBD can occur at any age but is rare in infancy. Among childhood IBD, early onset IBD appears to be different epidemiologically and is characterised by predominance of colonic involvement and high positive family history. It has become apparent that only about 25% of childhood Crohns disease presents with classical triad of abdominal pain, diarrhoea and weight loss. Pediatricians should be aware of atypical manifestations and should maintain high index of suspicion.
Though epidemiological studies of childhood IBD done so far have contributed towards understanding of IBD, they have differed in study design, population, time period, age group and case definitions. Unfortunately there are no uniform, clear diagnostic criteria which are evidence based. To address this problem, recently the IBD working group of European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) has published "The Porto Criteria" which details a consensus based diagnostic criteria for the diagnosis of childhood IBD. This should bring uniformity in ascertainment of newly diagnosed IBD cases. An European multicentre prospective database has also been established to facilitate future epidemiological studies.

One of the reasons I started Grad Meets World in November 2010 was to hold myself accountable while I created my post-grad life. For instance, I would publicly announce that I was going to make a budget and then write a later post with the update.
This time around I figured it would be a great idea to do a monthly report with any new goals or wins for GMW – whether I'm saving for a trip, landing a new client, have some guest posts published or got some sort of media mention. Not only will it let you all know what's going on around these parts, it will also help me see exactly where I am and where I need to go with my own goals.
So here's the first installment, June 2012. (Yes, I am aware that it's July 5. I promise in the future these will be more timely.)
Money is always coming up on this blog isn't it? Well, it with good reason. Since applying for my life coaching certification and my trip to Virgina/DC I pretty much had to start over in the money and savings department. What better way to track my progress and keep myself motivated than publicly announcing my money? Yes, for the first time I will actually be putting numbers on this blog for 3 reasons: first, to show you that you can start from almost nothing, second to show you that perseverance can get you far, and third to show you that even post-recession college grad salaries can build wealth over time. I hope it inspires some of you to start watching your money more closely

Life Coaching Certification:
I've completed Level 1 of classes! That's 22 hours of teleclass and the corresponding reflection assignments on the forum. I've also made significant strides with my peer coach and my first external client in addition to starting to draft my very own coaching model. I feel like I've made some significant progress for the first time since starting this process at the end of April.
Here's a run down of my progress (excluding creating my coaching model, developing my coaching tool, recordings and a research paper)
Level 1: Complete (22/22 classes, 11 reflections)
Level 2: 6/22 classes, 5/11 reflections completed
Level 3: 0/16 hours, 0/8 reflections
Level 4: 0/16 classes, 0/8 reflections
Level 5: 0/14 classes, 0/7 reflections

Health and Fitness:
June marks six months of a regular yoga practice! That's the longest I have ever kept up with any sort of exercise – ever! Granted, it's gotten kind of wonky the last few weeks as I adjust my schedule due to classes, but the point is I'm still getting my butt to the yoga studio every week and I'm loving everything from the Sun Salutations to the Savasanas.
On days when I can't go to yoga I've started to supplement with at-home yoga or, if I'm feeling really energetic, I rock the Zumba DVDs. What could be better than an exercise regimen consisting of yoga and latin dancing? For me the answer is well…nothing.

We just moved to a new server, and we're going through some growing pains.
If you notice any problems with the site, leave us a message here so we can follow up on it.
The new host is on a newer version of the web server we use, and there is some issue at times where things are timing out. Typically, this is not an indication that any specific feature (pm's, commenting, writing a journal) are directly affected, just that the command isn't getting through as it should.
But even so, please report anything you find here, so Adrian can get it happy and sorted.
"You don't know you're beautiful." - Harry Styles
When "x new comments" appears at bottom of a Journal... one clicks on this hyperlink and reads the referenced comments... returning to the original Journal, the "x new comments" remains there! :( This behavior reflects a change from previous iterations of Oasis...
However... just refreshing that page causes the "x new comments" to disappear... as it should!
If necessary... I'm sure we can become used to this "feature." :)
There is more caching going on now, to save us on server traffic. I'd expect this behavior to continue.

Middle East and North Africa
2013 continued to see important changes in the region. Arab Spring states faced great challenges in achieving stability and the establishment of democratic institutions. Political instability, unrest and violence have had profound effects on the work of HRDs. In some cases, HRDs found themselves in situations of acute political polarisation and were caught between armed confrontations.
This was true in particular for Libya, Syria, Yemen and the Sinai peninsula in Egypt, where the proliferation of non-state actors, including fundamentalist Islamic groups, has emerged as a significant threat to HRDs. Those who resisted their influence, or condemn human rights violations committed by these groups, faced serious risks, including death threats, violent raids, and forced disappearances.
In Syria, the mass popular uprising evolved into an internal conflict involving a number of different armed groups. A very high number of HRDs continued to flee the country in 2013. Those who remained and who continued their human rights work were targeted for their attempts at reporting human rights abuses. Two members of the Syrian Centre for Media and Freedom of Expression were released in February while three remained in detention at year's end. Their trial on fabricated terrorism-related charges remained pending. A number of other HRDs remained in detention, including secret detention as in the case of Khalil Matouq of the Syrian Centre for Legal Studies and Research. Four HRDs, including Razan Zeitouneh, were abducted in December and remained missing at year's end.
In Egypt, the emerging democratic experiment collapsed again in July with the ousting of President Morsi by the military, after mass protests against him and the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) to which he belonged. This was followed by violent dispersals of pro-MB protests, which resulted in 700 deaths. Repressive practices through the use of police or prosecutions continued throughout the year, and political groups used their supporters to engage in violence against protesters, political opponents and other critical voices. During this wave of violence many HRDs were physically attacked.
Use of force by police against protesters was reported in many other countries, including Bahrain, Morocco- administered Western Sahara, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Yemen. In Western Sahara, nine HRDs were convicted in February, together with 16 other individuals, in relation to mass protests in El Ayoun in 2012. They were sentenced to heavy penalties ranging from 20 years to life imprisonment on charges of belonging to a criminal organisation and using violence against public officials.
The situation deteriorated in Sudan, where the year witnessed repeated crackdowns on civil society. Between December 2012 and January 2013, three civil society groups (Sudanese Studies Centre, ARRY Organisation for Human Rights and Development, and the Al Khatim Adlan Centre for Enlightenment and Human Development) were forcibly closed down by the authorities. Mass protests were met with excessive force by the security forces, and there were reports of beatings and arrests of journalists, student activists and HRDs, especially during demonstrations in September and October. Arbitrary arrests, incommunicado detentions and torture of HRDs by the Sudanese military and security forces were also reported.
Restrictive NGO legislation was pending in Egypt, where the new regime announced plans to introduce a law which would reinforce government control over civil society organisations. A new law on demonstrations was passed in November which banned overnight protests as well as gatherings of more than ten people without government approval. It is also feared that the law may be used to justify the use of lethal force by the police. Concerns that the NGO Law passed in Algeria the previous year would be used against HRDs were validated in May when Abdelkader Kherba received a two-month suspended sentence and a fine for distributing leaflets on unemployment. In Israel, proposals were made to introduce a bill imposing a 45% tax on foreign donations to NGOs supporting campaigns for boycott, divestment or sanctions against Israel or calling for the prosecution of members of the Israeli Defence Forces in international courts.
Judicial harassment was widely reported across the region, in particular in Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Israel- OPT, Kuwait, Morocco, Oman, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and UAE. In Morocco, two journalists were put on trial on terrorism-related charges for their legitimate reporting on the use of anti-terrorism legislation. In Saudi Arabia, in June, a court in Dammam sentenced women's rights defenders Wajeha Al-Huwaider and Fawzia Al-Oyouni to ten months in prison, on charges of 'undermining the marriage' of a woman they sought to assist. In the occupied Palestinian territories, Palestinian HRD Hasan Karajah remained detained by the Israeli military, pending trial, since his arrest in January in connection to his legitimate involvement in the Stop The Wall movement. In July, human rights lawyers Mohammed Al-Roken and Mohammed Al-Mansoori in the United Arab Emirates were sentenced to ten years in prison on false charges of 'plotting to overthrow the state'.
In Bahrain, the Government failed to change its repressive policy towards HRDs. Throughout the year, numerous instances of arrest, prosecutions based on fabricated charges, assaults, ill-treatment and torture in detention were reported. The Government continued its practice of imposing penalties of long-term imprisonment. In September, Naji Fateel of the Bahrain Youth Society for Human Rights was sentenced to a 15-year prison term under the controversial Terrorism Act; the appeal remained pending at year's end and evidence that he was tortured in detention was not considered by the court. The Government failed to implement the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry's recommendation to review the convictions it found to be fundamentally flawed, including that of former Front Line Defenders staff member Abdulhadi Al-Khawaja.

Baby Peter mother 'can be released' says Parole Board
The mother of Baby Peter, Tracey Connelly, should be released from jail, the Parole Board has said.
She was jailed indefinitely, with a recommended minimum term of five years, in May 2009, for causing or allowing her son's death in north London.
A Parole Board panel recommended her release from prison following a second review of her case.
The board said arrangements and the date of the release were a matter for Justice Secretary Chris Grayling.
A spokesman for Mr Grayling said the Parole Board's decision was final.
A statement from the board said: "We can confirm that a three-member panel of the board has directed the release of Tracey Connelly.
"Tracey Connelly first became eligible for parole in August 2012 and at that time a Parole Board panel made no recommendation to release."
Peter died on 3 August 2007 at home in Haringey after months of abuse.
Sentences explained
- Causing or allowing the death of a child carries a maximum sentence of 14 years in jail
- In cases where offenders are considered to pose a risk to the public, the judge can impose an indeterminate sentence
- In passing this sentence, the judge will recommend a minimum term to be served before the offender can be considered for release
- Only after this time can the Parole Board consider whether the offender no longer poses a threat to the public and so is suitable for release
He had more than 50 injuries, despite being on the at-risk register and receiving 60 visits from social workers, police and health professionals over eight months.
Connelly was jailed with her boyfriend Steven Barker and his brother Jason Owen, who were convicted at trial of the same offence.
Barker was jailed for life with a minimum of 10 years for raping a two-year-old girl and given a 12-year term to run concurrently for his "major role" in Peter's death.
Owen was jailed indefinitely with a minimum three-year term but later won an appeal to lower it to a fixed six-year term.
He was freed in August 2011 but was then recalled to prison in April this year.
When making its decision, the Parole Board will take into account the nature of the offence, the prisoner's offending history, the prisoner's progress in prison and any statements made on behalf of the victim.
Reports from psychologists, probation officers and prison officers are also taken into account.
Connelly will remain on licence for the rest of her life and if she breaches any of the conditions, she would most likely be recalled to custody.
Conditions can include curfews, restrictions on movements and frequent meetings with an offender manager, said a Ministry of Justice spokesman.

You know when you think your door is closed, so you put on a song really loud and dance spastically around your room, lip syncing dramatically and playing air guitar and basically just looking completely fucking insane? It turns out my door wasn't closed. My mom saw the whole thing. I have never been so embarrassed in all my life. Oh my god. Sure, there are definitely much worse things to have your mom walk in on you doing, but this was still pretty embarrassing, haha.
Hmm, what else have I done? Dealt with assholes at my job who basically told me that I will flunk out of college just because they know a girl who did, moped about how much Wednesday is going to suck, tried to read some more of Heart Of Darkness. (Luckily, the test on it isn't actually on Wednesday, so I still have a little time to finish it.) I guess that's about it.
So, yeah, that's basically my life lately. School starts on Wednesday, which totally sucks. I'm dreading calculus, college applications, and the fact that I have a grand total of two classes with my friends. (To be fair, I have so many free periods, though, so I will actually only be alone with people who aren't my friends for two classes a day.) My friend's got me freaking out because I didn't sign up for physics. It's actually not too late to change, but I know for a fact that I can't handle physics. I'd be lucky to pull a C for the year. I've actually had a couple of teachers suggest I get out of the highest level of science since it's so hard for me. I went for the second highest level, which is physical science. It was still under the "honors" heading on my sign up sheet, and it won't prevent me from getting salutatorian if I can because I already have the 10 highest-level classes requirement down, but I don't know, I guess I'm just not used to stepping down a notch. I'm also worried about what colleges will think. Surely they would rather see a 90 in physical science than a 75 in physics, right?
I'm dreading college applications so badly. Dude... Dude, what if colleges applied to ME, and I just picked the one I liked best? That could backfire, though, because what if good ones didn't apply to me? Um, you know what? Never mind, just scratch that entire thought.
Seriously, though, I'm terrified. I'm gonna tell you guys something I've never told anyone else before. I didn't even want to go to college until 11th grade! I really didn't! I knew my parents would force me to, but I didn't actually want to at all until last year. Now I'm really wishing I had wanted to go from the very start so that I would have had my shit together so I could get into, like, top colleges and Ivy Leagues and stuff. I mean, if I didn't give a shit at all the first two years of high school but still ended up third in my class the last time I checked, who knows what I could have done if I had given a shit those first two years. I would have learned more shit, so my ACT score would be higher too, and I wouldn't have had to get out of physics, which for some reason is causing me great distress. Sigh. If only I hadn't spent the first two years of high school blogging about FCG. (Also, can I just say that in retrospect, I am really, really glad FCG and I never actually dated and also that she kind of just faded out of my life? We are so wrong for each other it isn't even funny. I really don't know what I saw in her... She was cute and oddly charming, sure, but she was also dumber than a sack of potatoes, and all she ever wants to post about on Facebook and Twitter nowadays is how much she fucking hates happiness, kittens, sunshine, and her entire life. What happened!?)
It's so hard to believe that this time next year, I'll be packing my bags and watching this insufferable town fade away in my rearview mirror. I'm going to actually have a life. I'll never be trapped here with no escape in sight ever again. Sadly, I will have to return to visit, but thankfully that's all. I've never been this happy about anything before... Not even when I got FCG's number or when it was my 17th birthday and my mom made a cake that had red velvet cake inside of the chocolate cake. Nothing has ever filled my heart with as much joy as the thought of giving this town the middle finger salute and moving on with my life. It's real. It's really going to happen in just one year. I've waited and waited and waited for as long as I can remember, and it seemed like the day would never come, but it's so close. It's so fucking close.

Americans may have planned satellite collision, says Russian general
A former head of Russia's military space intelligence has suggested that the America may have planned for the collision between the American and Russian satellites in order to prove it can manipulate hostile satellites.
First, there was the Cold War. Now, perhaps, there's the Cold Space War.
Retired Major General Leonid Shershnev, the former head of Russia's military space intelligence, thinks the recent collision between an Iridium satellite from the US and an out-of-service Russian Cosmos 2251 may have been a set-up.
I can barely understand traffic, so I will make an extra effort to summarize the Major-General's suspicions.
He seems to believe that the Iridium satellite was part of a project called "Orbital Express." This project, which was officially completed in 2007, was to see if on-board refueling and satellite reconfiguration was possible by autonomous, robotic means.
Nyet, says the Major-General.
He was quoted by the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper as saying that the project did not end. In fact, this Iridium satellite was being used to "develop technology that would allow monitoring and inspections of orbital spacecraft by fully-automated satellites equipped with robotic devices."
Aha, he declared- this was the Americans showing that they can robotically eliminate a foreign satellite.
The Major-General is, no doubt, an intimidating figure. If I disputed his imputations I might suffer an amputation.
So I will limit myself to the most important question- how will this affect the design of future war-themed computer games?

Technology Makes It Easier to Shop for Long Term Care Insurance
FORT MYERS, FLORIDA, Feb 25, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Consumers and insurance professionals have often expressed unease at the process of shopping and explaining Long Term Care insurance (LTCi). LTCi is the type of coverage people look into to prepare for the costs of extended long term health care which is normally not covered by traditional health insurance or Medicare (for those who are 65 and older). With so many more people requiring extended health care, either at home or in a facility, preparing for the financial, emotional and physical burdens this type of care places on a family is on the top of many people's lists.
"Many consumers want to learn about Long Term Care planning and their options without having to meet insurance agents in their home or office. At ACSIA, our specialists are trained to use the latest screen sharing technology which allows you to see the agent's desktop. ACSIA agents can educate a consumer about Long Term Care, answer their questions and provide them with quotes from all the major insurance companies conveniently from their home or office without having to meet with an agent in person," said Rich Horowitz, Director of Business Development and Webinar Training Director for ACSIA Long Term Care, Inc. (ACSIA), one of the nation's leading marketers of Long Term Care insurance.
This flexibility for the consumer makes it easier and more convenient to learn about their options without feeling pressured or having to meet multiple people in person. Horowitz says this process is very user friendly and enables complete transparency about pricing and comparisons of all the major LTCi carriers and their plans.
"With today's busy schedules, this process fits well with people's lifestyles. They can quickly learn about their options, see quotes and compare plans and then have the opportunity to think about how they want to proceed without the pressure of an agent at their kitchen table," Horowitz explained.
Few Long Term Care Specialists have the skills and ability to help consumers in this way. Horowitz says Long Term Care insurance can be very affordable and recommends that consumers visit
and click on the "Long Term Care insurance Quotes" icon on the upper left hand corner of the website.
He also recommends two other websites for consumers who are looking to learn more about their options --
"As more and more consumers want to learn about Long Term Care planning, organizations like ACSIA will need additional specialists to meet the demand. ACSIA can provide the tools and resources necessary for experienced Long Term Care specialists to help more consumers," said Rob Cohen, ACSIA's Executive Vice President.
Cohen explained that ACSIA can provides the training and technology and presentation methods to help consumers that want to learn about Long Term Care planning without having an agent come to their home. "This technology provides the specialist a larger footprint since so few insurance agents have the skills or means to help today's consumer," Cohen said. Cohen expects a boom in Long Term Care insurance sales and says ACSIA is ready to meet the needs of the consumer providing professional, independent advice. "ACSIA is looking to add top Long Term Care insurance specialists to its existing group of specialists who many consider the best in the business," Cohen said. He suggests anyone looking for more information about a career with ACSIA should go to

I saw that, wonder why he isn't here talking about it. Him and his buddy Mikey. Though I must admit it is being called a little early.
Yeah, the media does tend to shamefully call winners too early. I swear, they got this one guy who is losing 46% to 54% (with 10% of precincts reporting) that they have declared a winner. Reminds me of 2000 when all the mediots declared Gore the winner in Florida even though Bush was winning in vote count... then as results kept pouring in, Bush maintained his lead...
What happened to Turk, he said he would be here win or lose with Lieberman? I thought I would come here this morning and see his post, and yet nothing. Typical Democrat/Liberal, sore losers all of them. I also notice Mikey has chimed in on this one either nor any of the other libs who were so happy when Joe lost the primary. Like I said Joe doesn't just represent the Dems in this state, he represents us all.
I never hated Lieberman like some did. He's said he will stay with the Democratic caucus, and hopefully the Democrats in CT have adequately chastised him and he will return to his somewhat progressive roots.
if anything he is going to be more independent minded as he has vindicated his belief system. Yes he will caucus with the Dems but note he never said he would become one again. He just became a huge power player in DC with this victory. Both sides are going to be beholden to Joe. As I stated right after the primary, the Dems and the Repubs don't get it. Joe and his people first politics second agenda is what we need more of in DC. I am causiously optimistic that the Dems got the message because from all reports most of the new Dems that were elected are moderates like Joe. Its too bad the Repubs didn't get the message earlier and send more moderates because they would still hold the house. Hopefully this is a turning point for US politics as more moderates take over and shove the extremist libs and cons to the sidelines where they belong.

I read that the School store in Sheridan Park is closing. Everything is 50% off. Great for teachers.....or for Christmas gifts for teachers! It's in behind Sonic....... go past the turn-in to Sonic, and make your next left turn. That will take you back to the Village of Sheridan Park (I think that's what it's called). You'll see the store on your left.

Someone blogged about this a few days ago, and sure enough....... my tags expired the end of July and I never did receive my tax notice from the County. I've lived here 26 years, and have always paid my taxes and gotten my tags through the mail. I'm curious as to why there hasn't been anything in the newspaper about this. I sure can't be the only person in this predicament.....and I sure don't want to get pulled over and have to pay for expired tags! Anyone see anything or hear anything about this??

Teaching Mandarin in two of the schools? You've got to be kidding me! THIS is the best way to spend the non-existent money?? Teachers getting no raise....again. Programs being cut. Class sizes increasing because teachers' jobs are being "eliminated." Field trips being cut. Summer school being cut. Teachers being furloughed. So.......let's teach Mandarin??? Really??

Well....... I KNOW that, in these hard times, teachers are glad to have jobs, when so many others are unemployed. That said, WHO thinks that cutting teachers' salaries and sending them home for "up to five days without pay" is going to help the students in SC schools? One of the main reasons that our educational system continues to slink along the lowest level of the charts, is that so many people, except teachers, treat teaching as a business. I even heard one administrator refer to the children as "the product".

I noticed several ads announcing that Jade Garden is open. I don't know if they closed, or not, when the owner and 13/14 employees were arrested for being in the country illegally...... but I'm wondering who can find out if the "new" employees are legal. It seems amazing to me, to think that someone could find legal "replacement" employees so quickly! That's a LOT of people! I didn't go very often (watching my budget, like everyone else) but when I did go, it was always good. I don't want to go, if the employees are just "new" illegals.

I was so upset to read about the woman who was assaulted and robbed at 10:45AM at the Shoppes on the Parkway (Fresh Market Shoppes)!! I mean.... night-time is bad enough, but 10:45AM??!! That's just brazenly outrageous. Obviously, the 24-year-old attacker was not worried about that or he would have waited until he could lurk around like a worm in the dark!! I mean, we're not talking about some dark little alcove somewhere, either! The report says the "parking lot" but the victim says she was walking on the "shopping center sidewalk". Either way....

A review of the action from Monday's meeting at Kelso, where Tony McCoy rode a double.
A review of the action from Monday afternoon's meeting at Kelso, where Tony McCoy rode a double.
Fentara supplied Mark Walford with his first jumps winner when Fentara landed the feature race at Kelso under Jake Greenall.
The mare was left clear three out in the Sheena Cochrane Celebration Handicap Chase after Fiddlers Reel unseated Ryan Mania.
Walford, who also struck at Redcar with Cornborough and only had his first winner at Newcastle on Saturday, said: "She's been very consistent and she loves this soft ground. I wasn't sure if she'd have still won if the other horse had completed.
"She tries her heart out and she was my last winner before I retired from the saddle. It just nice to get another win out of her."
Nick Alexander saddled a double courtesy of Landecker ridden by daughter Lucy and Present Potential partnered by son Kit.
Present Potential landed the Cazenove Capital Management Buccleuch Cup Maiden Hunters Chase and Kit Alexander said: "He gave me a great ride all the way. Although this was his first win under Rules he has been doing really well in point to points."
Steven Fox, who was third on Barachois Silver was hit with a 19-day suspension for using his whip above the permitted level. The amateur, who is based with Lucinda Russell, will be notified of the dates he has to serve by the BHA.
Miss Russell edged to within one of Len Lungo's Scottish record of 63 (set in 2002-03) when Lady Of Verona and Craig Nichol were left clear at the last in the mares handicap chase.
Harrys Whim, racing from 32lbs out of the handicap was still around 12-lengths clear when unshipping Henry Brooke at the final fence.
Tony McCoy rode a double from his three rides on Katachenko and Sealous Scout, both trained by Donald McCain.

Shopping and Food
International Calls
The City of York
York St John University | University in the Heart of York > International > Fees and funding
Living expenses in the UK might be higher than what you are used to, but with some planning and a sensible budget, you will find that living in the UK can be affordable. In addition to tuition fees, you will need to budget for living expenses such as accommodation, food and travel. We recommend you budget about £7,200 per year to cover these costs. Please take note of your visa requirements regarding how much money you need in your account before you receive your CAS.
From the moment you accept your offer to study with us it is important to start thinking about money and how you will support yourself whilst in the UK. The earlier you start saving money for your studies, the better! On this page we will try to provide a bit of information about money and finances, so hopefully there will not be any unpleasant surprises once you arrive in York.
If you are on a degree programme and have a Tier 4 visa, you will normally be able to work 20 hours per week during term time and 40 hours per week during holidays only (Christmas, Easter, and summer breaks). You must not work more than your visa specifies, doing so is illegal and could cause you serious problems.
If you are in the UK on a Student Visitor visa for less than 6 months, then NO, you will not be able to work at all. This means you must have access to funds to support yourself while you are in the UK.
For the reasons above, you must not rely on work to support yourself. Even if you are allowed to work, it may take time to find a job, so it is very important that you have enough money to support yourself without working.
You must always remember that studying is your main priority! You must make sure your job fits AROUND your studies. It is not acceptable to miss class because of a job. Students' attendance is monitored, especially if you have a Tier 4 Visa!
University accommodation prices vary depending on whether you live in an accommodation with an en-suite or shared bathroom, the size of the room and so on. Private accommodation is also available locally, with rent generally averaging approximately £70 per week.
York is a tourist city, so there is a huge variety of choice when it comes to things to see and do and especially with places to eat and drink! There is everything from coffee shops and fast food to many sit-down, gourmet restaurants, so it's always a good idea to read menus before you go into a restaurant. A meal for 2 people at an average sit-down restaurant can easily come to about £50 if you have a starter, drinks, and a main course. Pub meals are often around £7-£9 each, so a bit cheaper.
Cinema tickets cost around £7 per person now. Theatre tickets can cost from £8-£20, depending on where you sit.
Train travel can be very expensive for longer trips (to London or to Edinburgh, for example) but you can get cheaper tickets if you purchase them as far in advance as possible. Plus, you can apply for a Young Person's Railcard when you arrive, and that will save you up to 33% on train fare! Commuting on a train or bus every day for class can get VERY expensive, so it is important to find accommodation IN YORK for your studies!
York is easy to walk around, but there is also a good bus network which can take you to places like shopping centres outside the city. There are weekly and month passes and student discounts, all of which can save you money on bus travel.
You should plan to spend at least £25 per week on food and groceries, depending on where you shop. Sainsburys and Morrisons are 2 of the large supermarket chains which are located near the University campus. Netto is a smaller discount supermarket. ASDA (discount) and Tesco are the other large chains, but you have to take a bus to get to those shops. There are also many specialist food shops available serving oriental and halal food at varying prices.
You will need to cover the cost of contacting home, which can vary greatly depending on your phone/internet package and where you are contacting. Comparison sites such as Cable.co.uk offer information on the best student internet deals and guidance on making cheap international calls.
There are shops like Boyes and Poundland where you can get very cheap household items like clothes hangers, so many students choose to visit these shops during their first few days in York!
Remember that there are student discounts available for many things. You can apply for an NUS card from the Students' Union, plus many tourist locations and restaurants offer student discounts, so just remember to ask! You will receive more detailed information about shops, restaurants, and things around York in your Arrival Pack at the start of Welcome Week.
