Risk Management
The process of managing risk requires six distinct steps, all of which need careful attention. (FCW graphic).
Risk management has been part of IT security from Day One, but has often taken a backseat to aggressive zero-tolerance policies that sought to raise impenetrable barriers to security threats. Now we know better.
An explosion in the volume and sophistication of malware in the past few years has overwhelmed barrier technologies such as firewalls and intrusion-detection systems, and the bogglingly fast spread of powerful mobile devices such as tablet PCs and smart phones has provided the black hats with a wealth of different ways to break into networks.
"Three decades ago, a mainframe would have been a big investment for an organization, but IT has become a commodity today and we use those technologies very aggressively," said Ron Ross, a fellow at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the leader of NIST's Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) Implementation Project. "The trend now is also to connect everything to everything. Couple that with the exponential growth in malware, and that's why people are so concerned."

Risk management: A view from inside
In contrast to the castle-and-moat approach to security, risk management sets acceptable levels of risk for an organization, and then controls and seeks to mitigate those risks. That way — or so the theory goes — the most mission-critical systems can be protected and the organization will still be able to function even if cyberattacks succeed in penetrating periphery defenses.
Theory is one thing and implementation another, however. Although the concept of risk management is now well understood in agency IT and security departments, it is not yet a widely practiced discipline. Agencies such as the National Security Agency and the State, Commerce and Defense departments are acknowledged leaders in risk management, but overall, the government is behind the curve.
A recent Ponemon Institute study of risk-based security management in the United States, which included input from government organizations, noted that more than three-quarters of respondents had a significant commitment to RBSM, but less than half actually have a program in place. A third of respondents have no RBSM strategy.
"Lots of organizations want to do RBSM, and they realize the importance of it," said Larry Ponemon, the institute's chairman. "But there's either resistance internally from people who are reluctant to move out of their comfort zones, or they just don't have the right resources to make it happen systematically. What you often end up with is a kind of a hodgepodge approach to it."
Chris Kennedy, principal security architect and senior program manager at Northrop Grumman Information Systems' Civil Systems Division, said he believes most federal agencies understand what risk management is, but "it's just one of those things that's really tough to operationalize."
"The challenge is that IT has been traditionally managed in agencies as a mission enabler, and there hasn't been the level of cross-pollination between the mission owner and IT system operators to manage risk appropriately," he said. "Someone needs to work the priority of the mission to establish the appropriate risk management framework around the systems."
The first step in developing a risk management program is to get everyone to agree on what the risks are, which is more complicated than it sounds. In the older approach to security, the risks were associated with the network and attached systems, and identifying them was the responsibility of the IT department. With enterprise risk management, many communities own the business processes that are at risk, and with the rise of cloud computing, they will increasingly have responsibility for the IT services that are delivered. However, each of them might have very different ideas of what the risks are and how to define them.
"If you want to develop a cohesive risk management strategy, you have to develop a centralized risk register that everyone can refer to, and that means also having a common nomenclature for risk," said Torsten George, vice president of worldwide marketing and products at Agiliance, a company that provides risk management solutions. "If you try to do that later, then the accuracy of the data that comes back to you will vary, and the trend data that helps you predict your security needs going forward will be impacted."
NIST's Ross described this as a need for a second front in government to integrate cybersecurity and risk management processes into the mainstream.
"I do think the understanding for all of this is there, but the systemic problems are also there and need attending to," he said.
Likewise, it is vital early on to create a governance process for making decisions about which risks will be targeted and what steps will be taken to mitigate them. That process will need to cover the entire enterprise.
Once it has been decided that there is a risk in a particular organizational unit with an operational mission responsibility, the governance process will require the professional who can assess that risk to characterize it and describe it to the operational manager, said Lee Holcomb, vice president of strategic initiatives and cyber operations at Lockheed Martin Information Systems and Global Solutions.
"That manager needs to be able to say he will invest the money to fix that risk and put in a process to mitigate it, or that he will flat out accept the risk and not invest in mitigation," said Holcomb, whose federal career includes serving as CIO at NASA and chief technology officer at the Department of Homeland Security. "That discussion is a central one that absolutely needs to take place."
He added that one of the current challenges in the cybersecurity area — and it relates directly to the assessment of risk — is the need for people to be able to say what an additional dollar of investment buys in terms of security. "There are probably a significant number of agencies that don't have a rich discussion of that through a governance process," he said.
Leadership commitment is also essential for implementing an effective risk management program, said Henry Sienkiewicz, vice chief information assurance executive at the Defense Information Systems Agency. Furthermore, the governance process is vital to ensure ongoing collaboration and synchronization of the efforts of the multiple groups and teams that will be involved.
Sienkiewicz said key areas include "identifying roles and responsibilities across the organization, methods for de-confliction of issues, means of communication with stakeholders, sharing of information and ensuring leadership acceptance of risks."

Assessing the risks that must be managed is typically more of an art than a science that requires hard numbers. NIST recently published the final version of its risk assessment guidelines, Special Publication 800-30, which covers what it sees as the four elements of a classic risk assessment: threats, vulnerabilities, impact to missions and business operations, and the likelihood of a threat exploiting vulnerabilities in information systems and their physical environment to cause harm.
The document provides a common lexicon regarding risk factors that influence the method of assessing and ultimately managing risks, Sienkiewicz said. But he added that the methods for assessing risk are more descriptive than prescriptive and leave it to the organization to determine the most suitable approach for itself, taking into account factors such as system use and mission requirements.
Agencies will have to make it up on their own to some extent and choose standards for risk assessments that they will be able to carry forward, said Tim Erlin, director of IT security and risk strategy at nCircle, a company that specializes in risk and security performance management.
"There also isn't a consistent methodology for assessing multidimensional risks or the combination of risk and environment that might be dependent on each other," he said. "While the NIST guidance is very comprehensive, it doesn't seem to provide a lot of guidance on how to chain these things together."
One constant in any government program, of course, is cost. Given the budget constraints agencies face today and will have to operate under for the foreseeable future, any sizable new investment will be closely scrutinized. Risk management will involve some upfront costs in terms of process and tools, such as new automation technologies, but it could result in savings down the road.
In researching the costs of risk management, the Ponemon Institute has come up with a range that covers short-term costs such as extra people and new technology, indirect costs, and what it calls opportunity costs, the potential for damage to agency missions through data loss and a consequent drop in user trust if security is not done right, for example.
"The reality is that the short-term costs probably do go up pretty substantially if you do it right," Ponemon said. "But over time, we would expect to see a reduction, especially in indirect and opportunity costs."

All this month we have been talking about changes here at News Channel 3. And perhaps nothing affects us more than changes in the weather. Those changes can often determines things like where we live, what we wear, and what we do on the weekends. For farmers, their very livelihood depends on it the weather.
Meteorologist Sonya Stevens took a look at the relationship between agriculture and weather forecasting and how it has changed over the past 60 years.
In the 1940's, farmers relied on sayings to help try to forecast the weather.
"People a lot of times back then were still relying on signs and old wives' tales and things that have been passed down from generation to generation. Some which actually worked, but a lot more science now," said Al Hight, Brunswick County Extension Director.
Science in the form of satellites, radars, and advanced forecasting models are used to forecast and track storm systems; this is key for farmers.
"So they know when it's coming when the rainfall event is coming, when its going to get below freezing. It's a little more accurate then it used to be but we are still worried about the weather," said Hight.
Greg Swain has been farming in Brunswick County for thirty years, he said things are much drier now. "Drainage was the big issue thirty years ago, today we really worry about when we are going to get the next rain."
Farmers depend on rain for corn and soybeans because these crops are not irrigated. Strawberry and blueberry growers have additional concerns.
"You have got to worry about all those things. The temperature, what the dew points are, wind speeds are so that can I do this, can I frost protect this crop," said Swain.
Even though weather forecasting has vastly improved, it's still a work in progress.
The bottom line is the more accurate the weather forecasts are the better off the farmers are.

I was deciding between the Vokey SM4 and this wedge. Both had the micro-grooved on the face, and had great main grooves. Both wedges had great shafts and felt great. The spinner shaft, and feel really sold me on this club. I took it out the same afternoon and played 9 holes, and I can't be happier with the purchase. This wedge is very accurate, has MORE spin than any other shaft on the market, and the soft forged metal feels like butter. Best Wedge ever, will be buying a Gap and Lob wedge.

Those you list are huge knives. I have a kukri that my buddy in Afghanistan sent me. He got it in Kathmandu, at the place where they make them, while on a walk-about. This one he sent me is the standard issue Army knife of about 10.5 inches blade length and it is a lot of knife. The Brit Army Service knife claims to be better quality than that issued to the troops, I dont know what that means. The standard issue blades are forged and ground from truck springs, then heat treated and polished. You can get the same size knife from the Kukri House in Kathmandu for about $40. They are the makers of the official Army knives and where mine came from.
NRA Life Whittington Center Life Times are tough, ammo is expensive, there will be no warning shots.
Funny you should ask. I am in the middle of doing a set of tests and a write up on this one that I had made to my own "Western" size designs by a Kami from Kuhkuri House. This thing is a BEAST!!
typically the knife is worn on the left side and drawn, crossdraw, with the right hand....maybe that is why.

OK so my first batch was a pale ale. It turned out great and I like it so much I've just about drank it all. My wifes tried it and didn't like it. well she lied at first and said she did, but after her buying an 18 pack of coors light and me having over a case of my ale. I had to probe... She said it was ok, but doesn't like the bitterness and it's really not too bitter, just enough i'd like it a little more but anyway..to the point of my rambling. I have 2 months left in this house and want to get a brew going and ready for transport by mid to late June(before the 20th) that she'll like.. So it looks like no lagers. So I'm wanting to make something she'll enjoy to get on board a bit more. i don't have anything against coors light (drank it for years) but would rather brew and share/enjoy with the misses ya know. I've considered simply leaving the bittering hops out and going with a double amount of aromatic hops which will give me (to my understanding) very little bitterness but more smell. So far I'm leaning towards a Honey comb weizen kit recipe. But honestly don't know the difference between a weizen and a ale.. I know I should but just don't So are there any suggestions on something the wife will like took alot of typing to ask a simple question. sorry.
Many women enjoy the fruity, spicey character of wheats or wits.
Stay away from weizens if your not familiar. Like GMB said, a nice wit beer is great in the spring and ready to drink within 4-6 weeks of brewing (if you're bottling).
*******Check Out My Rolling KegeratorBierMuncher Tried & Trues: Tits-Up IIPA (3-Time Medalist), Black Pearl Porter, Kona Pale Ale, Outer Limits IPA, Centennial Blonde (4.0%), Nierra Sevada (SNPA), SWMBO Slayer Belgian Blonde,
I kinda thought a weizen was a wheat beer? I really need to finish reading my book. LOL Is there any good recipes you can suggest to look up. so whats the difference in a whit and a weizen? the recipe for the honey comb weizen was all grain stuff. The kit contains: 6 lbs Wheat malt extract, 2 lbs of Minnesota clover honey, 1 oz. Saaz bittering hops, 1 oz. Saaz aroma hops, 1/2 Carapils, yeast and priming sugar. I was going to just leave out the bittering hops or ask to sub the 1oz bittering w/ 2oz of aroma hops?
Buy 2 cases of Coors Light in the bottle. Clean the labels off and recap. Then make a beer that you like.
The difference between the wit and the weizen is, in general, the yeast, although wits may often use adjuncts where weizens rarely do, etc etc. But the yeast is a biggy. If you're brewing a wit/weizen kit, don't mess with the hops, just brew it as is. Hop bitterness is low in those styles. In some cases, the IBUs are right around the threshold of perception. If swmbo's objection was bitterness in the pale, one ounce of czech saaz won't be a problem at all.
Hi Coy. Are you brewing extract?
my girlfriend doesn't like the real bitter beers, but that doesn't necessarily mean she'll like the not so bitter beers either. I wouldn't worry about finding something to brew for her in the next two months, but spend that time buying different commercial beers that you think she might like and forcer her to try them. my girlfriend has grown a fondness for Bell's Oberon - but up until then, she has told me she doesn't like wheat beers

Part of twisted.web View Source
This is the basic server-side protocol implementation used by the Twisted Web server. It can parse HTTP 1.0 requests and supports many HTTP 1.1 features as well. Additionally, some functionality implemented here is also useful for HTTP clients (such as the chunked encoding parser).
Variable | CACHED | A marker value to be returned from cache-related request methods to indicate to the caller that a cached response will be usable and no response body should be generated. |
Variable | NOT_MODIFIED | An HTTP response code indicating that a requested pre-condition (for example, the condition represented by an If-Modified-Since header is present in the request) has succeeded. This indicates a response body cached by the client can be used. |
Variable | PRECONDITION_FAILED | An HTTP response code indicating that a requested pre-condition (for example, the condition represented by an If-None-Match header is present in the request) has failed. This should typically indicate that the server has not taken the requested action. |
Function | unquote | Undocumented |
Function | urlparse | Parse an URL into six components. |
Function | parse_qs | Like cgi.parse_qs , but with support for parsing byte
strings on Python 3. |
Function | datetimeToString | Convert seconds since epoch to HTTP datetime string. |
Function | datetimeToLogString | Convert seconds since epoch to log datetime string. |
Function | timegm | Convert time tuple in GMT to seconds since epoch, GMT |
Function | stringToDatetime | Convert an HTTP date string (one of three formats) to seconds since epoch. |
Function | toChunk | Convert string to a chunk. |
Function | fromChunk | Convert chunk to string. |
Function | parseContentRange | Parse a content-range header into (start, end, realLength). |

This is similar to urlparse.urlparse
, but rejects
input and always produces bytes
Returns | The scheme, net location, path, params, query string, and fragment of the

I think it's about time I raise awarness about this. What you are about to read is the Gods honest truth. I would never lie about something like this. The only thing I am changing is my name.
My name is Storm and I have had a condition called Psoriosis since I was 5 years old. As a kid it was hard to put up with due to the fact that everyone avoided me and called me names beacuse of it.
The kids weren't the worst part though, it was my Year 1 teahcer who made me feel worse. I remember that one day we were all sitting on the carpet listening to a story when studdenly she looked me in the eye and yelle "STOP SCRATCHING!" Ihadn't even noticed that I had been scratching at the red blotches on my skin. People were staring at me, judging me.
Soon though it went from teasing to the odd "what's wrong with your skin?" but every time I was put under stress or my emotions became hard to control from torment thrust upon me by others it would get worse.
Psoriosis is a stress related skin condition. The more stressed out I am the worse it gets. The best way to help calm it down is sunlight. The problem is I'm too afraid of the judging stares I get. I refuse to leave the house wothout wearing a jacket or a coat out of fear.
I have said many times that the worst wounds are emotional wounds, the wounds that can't be seen. Maybe, just maybe this condition is giving those scars a physical form, one that the whole world can see and use as a weapon against me.

Simply delicious! Was looking for something low fat and healthy - this was very simple to make, low in fat and yet very tasty. Love it! I made sure while the chicken and sauce were simmering that I kept turning the chicken breasts over from time to time and ladling the sauce on top. This way the chicken breasts were really moist (I was worried they might go a bit dry as cooked chicken breast often does). Yum. Will definitely make again.

4 Better than I thought it would beAikonEnt | 21/11/2008 | See all AikonEnt's reviews (23)Top 100 Games Reviewer I've tried a couple of bluetooth headsets (not the new official Sony one I might add), and also used the microphone on the Playstation Eye, and to be honest I haven't been satisfied with either so I thought I'd try this wired headset instead. The sound quality is so much better with this it's like night and day. It does feel a bit tight on my head but it should get better after use (may have something to do with the size of my head, who knows). The cable is nice and long, so as long as you're sat within 10 feet you shouldn't have any issues with that, and the battery won't go flat like a bluetooth headset will as there aren't any in it :-) Yes wireless is better because you don't have to worry about people kicking the cable etc. But for the clarity this headset provides I'm prepared to go old school.
5 My sonFioreH | 28/10/2008 | See all FioreH's reviews (2)My mum bought this for me about i duno a couple of months ago ,,, amaaazing the sound is great when chatting to friends and when playing games like socom and warhawk its just a great comfortable crystal clear headset. A must buy for online play
4 Good Micbluecoupe | 16/12/2009 | See all bluecoupe's reviews (1)This mic's sound quality cannot be faulted. However the fitting is not as comfortable as could be, but overall good mic to buy. NO CHARGING !! :)
4 Good quality headsetqlimaxter | 02/01/2009 | See all qlimaxter's reviews (2)If you're looking for a good quality headset and you don't mind a cord, than look no further. The Vantage's sound is crystal clear and the microphone works perfect, not letting any background sounds through. The Vantage isn't as comfortable around the head though, it's a bit tight. After an hour of use it'll start to get itchy. The cord should be long enough for any situation, unlike most headsets with cords.This headset can be used for the PS3 and PC. I've tested the Vantage on both and it delivers the same good results.
3 just a heads upHappySpetsnaz | 01/01/2009 | See all HappySpetsnaz's reviews (1)I purchased this item and found it limited as it is not supported/recognised by the game i mainly play which is bad company it would help if the information for the product included a warning that not all games recognise this product, saying that the sound quality when it is working is very good so as long as you know it works i would recommend it

Morningstar Announces Findings From 2013 Target-Date Series Industry Survey
CHICAGO, June 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Morningstar, Inc. (NASDAQ: MORN), a leading provider of independent investment research, today announced findings from its Target-Date Series Research Paper: 2013 Industry Survey. Key findings of the industry survey are:
- Average industry glide paths—the outline of a target-date fund's changes in its stock and bond balance over time—should reasonably meet the typical worker's spending needs in retirement.
- More target-date assets are shifting to passively managed investments, as both an underlying holding within a portfolio and as an overall investment approach. While 68 percent of target-date assets were in actively managed series as of Dec. 31, 2012, inflows to passively managed series—those that invest 80 percent or more in passively managed investments—surpassed flows into actively managed series for the first time for the 2012 calendar year.
- Managers of target-date series have significantly increased allocations to non-U.S. equities. Since 2005, international stocks have risen from 24 percent of the average 2040 fund's equity allocation to 36 percent, as of Dec. 31, 2012. Emerging-markets bond funds appeared in nine target-date series in 2008, compared with 18 in 2012.
- Target-date series have become established fixtures in defined contribution plans: assets are rising, fees are falling, and performance reflects strong broad market trends.
Josh Charlson, Morningstar's fund-of-funds strategist and the study's lead author, said, "We found that target-date funds with significantly different asset allocations deliver similar retirement savings outcomes up to age 85. And as the target-date industry matures, we see an increase in diversification of the underlying investments in terms of both fund strategy and geographical location. Though the asset allocation or fund selection among target-date investments vary, target-date funds are relatively suitable investments for retirement savings. Investors realize that, too, and continue to put their money in these funds."
Using Monte Carlo analysis, which simulates thousands of possible allocations that a glide path could take, Morningstar tested the likelihood that investors will be able to successfully retire. Morningstar defined success as whether or not an investor's savings would last through retirement. The test used a uniform set of inputs along with a hypothetical scenario of an average U.S. investor, based on common assumptions of salary, savings rate, and expected retirement age. Morningstar compared glide paths that shift their asset allocation "to retirement"—when a target-date fund discontinues asset allocation adjustments when the retirement date is reached—and those that continue to shift "through retirement"—when a target-date fund continues to shift its allocation more conservatively after the retirement date is reached. The research concluded that target-date investors in different series have similar probabilities of accumulating sufficient savings, at least through age 85.
Additional findings from the industry survey include:
- Assets in target-date series crossed the $500 billion mark in the first quarter of 2013. While the industry's organic growth rate has slowed, its growth is still competitive with other broad mutual fund asset classes.
- Fees continue to fall, as the asset-weighted average expense ratio dropped to 0.91 percent in 2012 from 0.99 percent in 2011.
- The industry's market leaders—Vanguard, Fidelity, and T. Rowe Price—still control about three-fourths of the industry's assets, despite impressive growth from some of the industry's smaller players. Meanwhile, four target-date series shuttered in 2012: American Independence, Columbia, Oppenheimer, and Goldman Sachs.

VA Medical System in Shambles, Veterans Groups Say - Political News - FOXNews.com what makes anyone think that the government can succeed at this?
It's no secret that during the Bush administration, the VA hospitals were not adequately run. I assume that's one of things that Obama hopes to address, but it has nothing at all to do with the insurance-based national health care proposals currently be considered. At any rate, every now and then we read about failures at hospitals. One bad hospital does not mean all hospitals are bad.
you are so biased.........you think VA hospitals have only been like this during the Bush administration? do you believe that it is only the job of the legislative branch to make sure the VA is maintained? if so, then your knowledge is not credible.....let me guess....the VA was good when Clinton was in office? LMFAO but beyond that, it is just proof that as a population, we cannot be dependent upon our government to provide consistently decent healthcare from administration to administration.......it will simply become another budget battleground.......forget it
Going along with your questionable premise - this is why we DON'T want this to devolve into single payer because we're stuck with and subject to whatever the administration at the time chooses to do.
I think there's politics involved no matter what system we have. Single payer would carry its own set of risks (reduced competition); on the other hand you eliminate the middle man (less of a role for private insurance); on the other hand, capitalism needs bureaucratic layers in order to grow. The idea of expanding markets vertically, as well as horizontally has long been recognized by business economists. My view is that I will support whatever kind of national health care we get in the hope that it is improved with time. The idea of changing jobs or going into private business but still having heath insurance will be a huge boon to worker mobility and the economy.
I have no idea how the VA was run prior to Bush and I doubt if you do, but there were sure a lot of headlines during the Bush years. Either the problems were largely ignored prior to that or hospitals declined on Bush's watch. Hospitals and healthcare will be run largely as they are today. The healthcare plans are really in effect just a way to standardize information processing and regulate insurance so that we can take full advantage of the leverage that a market of 250,000,000 has. Our healthcare plans won't change but I would guess that the cheapest ones will offer fewer benefits than the more expensive ones.
I have zero interest in single payer. It's a road to absolute disaster. I have no problem with making it individually paid, just like car or property insurance. In theory our paychecks would go up (the amount the employer saves) and, yes, you would get your precious taxes on those earnings. Once everyone pays for their own they can make choices. Not everything needs to be covered. I already pay for my own dental and optical, that's fine. I pay for anesthesia myself. Going to the hospital doesn't need to be free. We just need coverage for the big stuff - and if someone wants to pay for coverage for little stuff they could have that choice. But, obama, don't you dare take my choice away from me, you controlling dickweed.
been around long enough to know that the VA has been pretty lousy since the vietnam war and I have read that it had been going downhill the further it got from having to work with WW2 heroes...... there are many more instances of government sponsored health program really sucking than your claim that things will be the same can support ummmm............so if nothing is going to change, then what's the point? your match doesn't work......... we have millions that aren't covered......who is going to pay for them? yup.....the ones who are covered.......and this money is going to come from where given that there is already a 1.8T deficit......... any way you paint the picture, it looks the same......I'd suggest you get yourself out of your fantasy world and begin to understand reality.......
Clearly the rest of us would but we need to keep it private and competitive, those who can't pay for themselves would not get the Cadillac nor the Ford package but the Kia package. The rest of us can decide what we want to pay for - but getting it out of employer paid and into individual would help because people would be more picky about what coverage costs. Employee paid hurts competition because people don't care what it costs, they aren't paying. If you're paying the bill you're going to be more picky and that improves competition.

DescriptionSamantha had it all--a happy marriage and a striving small business. Then her husband Mark died. Convinced no man could compare to the big, handsome love of her life, she feared she would spend the rest of her life without love. After her grief subsided, to appease her best friend, she agreed to a blind date. Don Westen was nice enough, but he was nothing like her lost love. Mark had been a manly carpenter. Don managed a bookstore and liked to cook! He was definitely not her type. And they both knew it. So why did he pursue her? Why couldn't she stop thinking about him? Surely, it would be foolish to expect to find love again. At least with Don Westen.

"What really happened was that this was on the burner for a while," she notes. "We were going to do it after we talked to the kids and explained." Weisman goes on to point out that the school district's zone mechanic -- who oversees the school's custodians -- heard about the outside complaints and took matters into his own hands. "I was in a meeting, and by the time I came back it was done," Weisman recalls. "The zone mechanic thought he was doing us a favor."
Back in the classrooms, the children are still waiting for their explanation. "How would you feel if you spent a month doing a mural and somebody came and took it down?" asks Rozalie Petit-Frere, age thirteen.
"When they painted the murals over it was like getting slapped in the face," says John L. Sullivan, a talented twelve-year-old who plans on becoming a professional artist. "The school was a lot prettier with the murals. And it feels good when you're painting and somebody comes over and says, 'Good job.'"
The young artists find the idea that their paintings were somehow inappropriate for their age group ridiculous. "In today's society nothing is kept a secret," asserts thirteen-year-old Jonathan Goldman. "There are kindergartners who know about this stuff. In the streets you see [guns and drugs] in a bad way. In the murals you saw it in a good way. Now we're just left with the bad way."
The students claim that the murals actually reduced violence at the school. "When I see a mural like that it calms me down," says Eric Otera, who was beaten up on the grounds of Horace Mann last year by a group of boys who broke his ankle with a baseball bat. "There have been less fights here than last year. I see no bad messages. What? That guns are no good? The Constitution says that you have the right to freedom of speech, but I don't see that happening here."
Unaware of the situation at the school until informed by New Times, magnet program director Lilia Garcia says, "People criticized Michelangelo's work too, but that's no reason to destroy it. We have murals all over the [Dade County] schools. This doesn't sound right to me. I don't understand what happened."
Principal Weisman says that, in the future, student murals will be painted on canvas and then hung on the walls so that they never have to be destroyed. As for the lost paintings, she expresses the hope that the students will learn something from the experience. "I find that kids are really resilient and school mirrors life," she notes. "You can take this as a wonderful consensus-building lesson. Next time they can get parents to be the judges and have more community input into the murals.
"We live in a political world," she continues. "I think art is extremely important, and artists throughout centuries have dealt with criticism of their projects. You want them to know that sometimes this is the reality.

Villa to make check on strike stars
Kevin MacDonald will check on the fitness of Gabriel Agbonlahor and John Carew before Sunday's Premier League clash with Everton at Villa Park. Agbonlahor suffered what was described as "tight calves" during the Europa League exit at the hands of Rapid Vienna last night and was substituted in the hope of avoiding a lengthy lay-off. MacDonald said: "Gabby's calves were very tight and so we felt it was best to take him off earlier rather than later in case it tended to go into a calf strain which might put him out for a few weeks. "We are hopeful it might only be a little bit of tightness at the moment but we will not be able to tell until later on Friday. "He is a major player for this club and we need to get him fit and keep him fit for as long as possible." Carew's fitness will also be assessed after he missed the 3-2 reversal with an ongoing knee problem along with defender Richard Dunne (back), but left-back Stephen Warnock and midfielder Stewart Downing will come back into the equation after being rested. Kick-off on Sunday is at 4pm. Villa (from): Friedel, Cuellar, L Young, Beye, Dunne, Collins, Davies, Clark, Warnock, Ireland, Downing, Petrov, Reo-Coker, Ashley Young, Albrighton, Carew, Agbonlahor, Heskey, Delfouneso, Lichaj, Bannan.

From what I know about the case, I'm not convinced that Zimmerman can meet that level of proof, and won't be surprised if he's indicted and sent to trial. I won't go so far as to say he murdered Martin, but I think he may have royally screwed the pooch. »

I've been here on Italky for some 3 weeks, I suppose. When I signed up my objective was to get so many language partners as to have opportunity for a each-day-English voice chat. What I've done is inviting many of you to language exchange or such a stuff. I wonder way on Earth you don't want to practice! Why is it so difficult to find somebody to have a skype chat? How can I entice you?
Or maybe, Italky isn't the right place for my purpose, is it?
Sorry for spelling and other mistakes:) I hope somebody may spot all of them and I'll correct them:)
well bro , you have to find the right people who want to learn and practice.
by the way, i already add your skype
Hi Darek. I'd like to help you but I'm learning English too. I'm speaking French. So I don't think I will be useful for you.
For me personally Italki is the right place to learn or to improve a foreign language.
Have a nice day :)
No, I didn't mean the natives. Actually, I hired here two of them to help me. What I really meant is the English learners:)
Fact #1 about human beings; People are primarily selfish
Fact #2 about human beings; Charity is the exception. People will care about you,
only if they have developed to the point where they understand caring about other people.
A student of English would practice with you in all probability, if there was an abundance of persons who knew it to be of benefit. As "EloquentWithRage" indicates; "Demand and supply are out of balance".
Be patient though Darek. I think that the more you write discussion topics, the more people will be familiar with you. If it requires that you write a similar complaint every single week, that is exactly what you should do. Eventually, everyone will know about "Darek" and "Mostafa" and all of the others who are looking for practice partners.
Yes, there's something in it, Bruce. I'm a bit impatient indeed.
Hello, Darek! I'm learning English too and I agree with you. I find really difficult to find English speakers. Mainly English speakers interested in learning my language.
I'm a native English speaker and I can help you. I understand what you are coming from because I am learning Korean and Japanese and it is hard to find some to practice in those languages.
Personally, italik is a good forum to find language partners for improving the language we learned, but you need to be patient. I have been here since March, 2014, and I got the skype acount of about 20 partners, but I just talk to less than 5 partners frequently. Also, I think if you want to make more friends here, you'd better take part in disccusions others started up, such as comments their disccustions.
I'd love to have a real exchange on skype and talk to some Spanish speakers, but every time I get ready to do that, I get incredibly nervous. There are some real obstacles that always seem to present themselves when I do, and it has very little to do with being selfish.
1. I'm afraid I'm going to be so terrible at Spanish, my language partner is going to be very frustrated with me.
2. I've studied hours and hours of Spanish and spoken to myself. The last time I spoke with a real "teacher," someone who was a professional and who I was paying for an introductory session (not on italki, this was in another program), she laughed at me, and said we would need to go all the way back to the very beginning basics. This was so difficult to hear after working so hard, I stopped studying Spanish for two weeks. I am afraid this is going to happen again.
3. I am confident about correcting others' mistakes in English. But I'm not sure exactly how to go about doing that. Do I do it with writing? Do I do it by just stopping them and correcting them? Do I wait until they're completely done talking? I am not sure how to be effective at this.
So there. Those are my reasons for not getting on Skype. I'm sitting here trying to finish my tree in Duolingo and all my Fluencia lessons before I get started, because I have a feeling that I won't be able to have an even basic conversation.
What is holding anyone else back?
Probably because most people in the US are so busy, Even I fall into this trap despite living in a small city. I have a bit of free time on the weekends usually though if you ever want to chat on Skype. :)

Danny Boyle: Actresses Get Shafted
Irish director says women aren't getting great roles--even in his own movies.
Irish director Danny Boyle, whose 2008 film Slumdog Millionaire took home the Oscar for Best Picture, said women aren't getting enough good roles in films—even if they are the lead. "They play an apparent lead in a film but when you look at the part, it's not that great, they're like a figurehead," Boyle said. In his latest film, Boyle cast Rosario Dawson—who he dated at the time of filming but they are rumored to have split—as a hypnotherapist, a role he says allows Dawson to be fully exploited on screen. "It's nice to give them a role that puts them in the engine room of the film. I've been guilty of that," Doyle said.

Around 2005 i had injections done in my buttocks and then again in 2006. Sad to say on both occasions it was not administered from a doctor. I'm unsure of what the substance really is. Since then My buttocks have formed discoloration and lumps. My left buttock has dropped tremendously so now i"m distorted. Is there something that i can do to fix this? I know i've made a terrible decision I'm really afraid.

I agree with the prior posts about getting an x-ray to help determine what is in there. It might also be helpful to get an MRI to evaluate where it is actually located, as well as to determine if there any loculated areas of this substance or cysts that can be easily drained or suctioned.
It would be best to try to find out what it was that was injected just to be sure that it is nothing to worry about. If it is not, and if it is not causing any major problems, then it may be best to leave it alone.
I feel for you. This is a tough problem. In my past experience most of these injections are with liquid silicone. I dont know where they are purchased from but they are not medical grade. Plus free silicone injections into any part of the body is not a good idea.
The hyperpigmentation and the lumps are from the body trying to accumulate the free material into discrete areas and to get rid of them. They usually and eventually surface to the skin and start to drain. This may take many many years.
Leave it alone for now. The only was to fix this, if things get out of hand, is to remove the injected fat and then recontour and fill with deepethelialised skin and fat flaps. This is how I have treated these in the past.
Unfortunately, at this stage of the game it may be best to leave it alone unless you encounter a more serious problem such as painful hardening and/or infection otherwise removal of the material can only be done by way of excision which can greatly deform the buttocks and leave large scars. Best to see a board certified plastic surgeon for a direct exam and recommendation(s). Good luck...RAS

Synthetic injectable materials in the buttock are an irreversible procedure. This is no way to ever get it out as, unlike a solid implant, it is scarred in amongst the tissues over a broad area not just a single implant pocket. Trying to remove it would leave the buttock terribly scarred. The only reason to consider any form of excision is if an area starts draining, is painful, or gets infected. Otherwise, you are best to leave the buttocks alone and only treat areas that become symptomatic.
There are many complications arising from injectable substances such as Silicone. The biggest problem, however, is getting it out once it becomes a problem. It cannot be liposuctioned out. If removal is required, it is done by cutting out all the tissues where the silicone has spread. This will leave a very visible defect.
Web reference: http://www.torontosurgery.ca/Toronto-Brazilian-Butt-Lift.html
It would help to know what was injected into the tissue, I can only assume it was silicone. Silicone would act just like you have mentioned and if this is the case there is not a lot you can do. From my experience in dealing with direct silicone injections into the breast tissue I am worried for you. The silicone becomes encased and forms hard nodules with chronic inflammation. The silicone can not simply be suctioned out of the tissue. It is very destructive to operate and remove the tissue the is affected by the silicone.
If there is not any infection or pain or impairment I would recommend leaving it alone for along as possible. If you do not know what it is then it would be helpful to know what the substance was. A simple X-ray will be able to confirm if it is silicone as it has a very distinct appearance on the X-ray.
Best Wishes
Dr. Peterson
Silicone injections and silicone nodules in the buttocks can be treated effectively using conservative measures in the primary stage of treatment and surgical measures in the secondary and plateau phases of silicone treatment. I characterize these three phases as such:
Karamanoukian protocol for silicone injection treatment:
- Primary Phase - Conservative: Reduction of Inflammatory and Infectious Component of Silicone Injections
- Secondary Phase- Maintenance of Inflammatory Component of Silicone Injections
- Plateau Phase - Surgical Measures to Reduce Deformity
I routinely treat patients from Asia and South America with a similar problem. In your particular case, I would address the inflammatory component of your injections for at least six months and then transition to a corrective modality to remove th silicone nodularity.
It would be helpful to find out, what the heck is in there? Is it silicone, or a fat transfer, or something else? If you know, then share it with your doctor. If you do not know, and can not find out, an X-ray may be helpful, as some substances show up on X-ray, while others do not.
This has been present for a very long time, we should assume that this will be a more or less permanent solution unless something is done.
I think that liposuction may be of help to you. Before deciding on a surgical procedure however, it is esssential to find out what is in there so the procedrue doesn't stir up something.
No doubt about it, you need a thorough exam. It might include x-rays to determine what substance has been injected. If it is at all possible to track down the individual who performed the treatment or just to have them send you records of the treatment, it might help.
The only person who can help you decide the options for treatment and what type of improvement you might have is a plastic surgeon experienced with soft tissue augmentation, particularly the buttock area.
Good luck. This is a tough situation.
It might be very hard to remove the substance injected. I would try to leave it in place except if you have a bad reaction,infection etc..
I would recommend that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area, his clinical exam might access the value of a revision using fat grafting to smooth out the buttock area. Hope that helps!!

Fifty years of Beef-burgers made by the butcher Yves-Marie Le Bourdonnec
Fifty years of Beef-burgers made by the butcher Yves-Marie Le Bourdonnec
Emmanuel Tresmontant - 2011-05-16
France is celebrating its 50th anniversary of Beef-burgers this year. This famous dish came into existence due to an appeal made by the French army in 1961. The idea was to provide the French soldiers with an essential ration of proteins which was perfectly healthy, safe and adapted to their needs.
Today the steak haché or Beef-burger represents 25% of all beef consumed in France, 242,000 tonnes are consumed including 86,000 of which are fresh and 156,000 of which are frozen. The market is evaluated at being worth 1.62 billion Euros and it employs no less than 35,000 people.
Yves-Marie Le Bourdonnec* told us that "Paradoxically the consumption of Beef-burgers is quite stable and hasn't changed much for 20 years. The truth is that there aren't enough Beef burgers in France and we have to import them! Why? Because we don't produce enough red meat despite the abundance of pastures that we have - it's incredible, but that's the way it is. So the French have fallen back on producing industrial pork."
The Minced Beef-burger is 100% muscle!
Wherever it is produced (in artisanal butchers or businesses regulated by veterinary services), French minced beef has to comply to strict regulations. It has to consist exclusively of muscle, and the fat around it. Offal and off-cuts are not authorized. The final product is sold in hypermarkets and supermarkets and has to be kept in cling film covered plastic recipients which includes the following information: origin, date of preparation, consume by date, weight and also the quantity of fat (between 5 and 20%), a collagen to meat protein ratio (which shouldn't exceed 15%) and a batch number.
Fifty years after its invention, the mass produced "steak haché" or Beefburger has become the symbol of French expertise as far as food technology and traceability is concerned. However Yves-Marie Le Bourdonnec points out that "the consumption of Minced Beefburgers is highest in the United States where only the back of the animal is cut into whole pieces for rib steaks, prime steaks, sirloin) all the rest is minced and goes to the fast-food chains to make hamburgers."
Beefburgers are given the cold shoulder by the great chefs so what place do they hold in the French culinary landscape?
At the end of the 1950s Roland Barthes, in his still famous work Mythologies, described the Beef steak as being a "French asset" on a par with wine: "Beef is the quintessential meat, it is meat in its purest state and whoever consumes it assimilates bovine strength." He affirms it as being a basic element of French culture which is fitting for the working classes and the bourgeoisie, is efficient and reasonably priced and simple and succulent. Barthes concludes that when it's served with "patriotic" French Fries, the Beef steak is the alimentary symbol of Frenchness. So when compared with the mythic, thick and compact rare steak, equally loved by the Upper class and the Proletariat, doesn't the minced Beef-burger come in a poor second? Isn't it simply low standard fare for children and senior citizens?
Our Expert's Opinion
"The advent of minced beef gave people the possibility of eating quality red meat at a reasonable price. I'm supposed to be an 'elitist' butcher but I dedicate every Wednesday (the French children's day) to selling Beef-burgers, and I sell them cheaper than the local supermarket: at 7 Euros per kilo. Like this I've managed to popularise good quality red meat from Aubrac, Salers, Limousin and Normandy and I now welcome a general public into my butcher's shop that used be afraid of coming here. I'm selling everything, business is booming! Also since I'm one of the last Butchers in France to buy livestock, it has turned out to be the right way to sell all my meat without wasting anything. This is all thanks to the Beef-burger!"
Yves-Marie Le Bourdonnec's advice for making the "best Beef-burger in the world"
"A good Beef-burger has to be lean with only 5 to 8% fat, so that it has some taste. However it shouldn't contain any collagen, in other words there shouldn't be any nervous tissue. So you have to skin the meat before mincing it. The machines are refrigerated to a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius to avoid the proliferation of bacteria and they are taken apart and cleaned every evening. Beef-burgers are a fragile product which should be consumed 3 or 4 hours after on the day of purchase.
My recipe consists of not mincing and grinding the meat but instead cutting against the fibres of the meat and making small pieces. I go by the geometry of the fibres and I cut them into little cubes, to which I add a knob of goose or duck fat which melts at 57 degrees Celsius and gives the meat a wonderful flavour.
This is how The New York Times ended up awarding me the title of Producer of the World's Best Burger last year! When you eat this burger, you have the impression of biting into meat balls and you appreciate the tenderness, the flavour and a slight crunchiness of the meat. For the seasoning, add salt only after cooking (if you do it before it makes the burger lose its juiciness), pepper, and opt for grape seed oil rather than olive oil. If you want a tartare, take very lean, juicy meat which has matured for 10 or 15 days.
*Yves-Marie Le Bourdonnec is a passionate butcher renowned for his outspoken nature. He is an exceptional craftsman who chooses the animals himself and takes care of their breeding conditions. His piece de résistance is the Prime Rib Marbled Wagyu with parsley that has a taste beyond compare!
