Using Machine-Readable Threat Intelligence to Block Unknown Threats
Apr 23 2015
5:00 pm
60 mins
Gartner Research Director Craig Lawson and Webroot Chief Technology Officer Hal Lonas
Enterprises continue to struggle with network breaches, data theft, and other incidents, despite deploying layers of security technologies across their IT environments. One reason for these successful attacks is that many of the threats have never been seen before, and go undetected by traditional security technology. So how can an organization recognize these threats more quickly as they emerge? How does the organization ensure that information about the latest threats is available to drive fast response at the points of vulnerability? In this program, Gartner Research Director Craig Lawson and Webroot Chief Technology Officer Hal Lonas discuss how integrating machine-readable threat intelligence into your security infrastructure can help your organization block active attacks, and even predict where future attacks are likely to come from.

Using Sequence Package Analysis to Detect Terrorism and Sedition
Apr 22 2015
4:00 pm
60 mins
Amy Neustein, Ph.D. CEO and Founder Linguistic Technology Systems
This webinar will demonstrate how Sequence Package Analysis (SPA), a new natural language method that utilizes a corpus of annotated training data comprised of a unique set of feature extractions, may detect early signs of terrorism and sedition. Using an SPA-designed BNF table consisting of sequentially-implicative (as opposed to syntactic) parsing structures, this natural language tool searches social media content and recordings of conversations of suspected terrorists to identify (and measure) collusion, collaboration, affinity with other terror or sedition suspects. Whereas conventional text mining methods are hindered by the speech system's failure to identify keywords (most suspects intentionally refrain from the use of keywords that pinpoint location, names, dates and time), SPA is designed to work around these obstacles in which users refrain from referring to named entities that are likely to flag their communications as suspicious.

Leveraging the Hybrid Cloud for Complete Data Protection
Apr 21 2015
5:00 pm
45 mins
Jayme Williams, Senior Systems Engineer, TenCate
Jayme Williams, Senior Systems Engineer at TenCate is protecting eight environments across the US and Canada – and each site has different storage. All sites require disaster recovery and backup across the application set. Having one solution would be ideal, but not possible – until they came across Zerto.
Zerto Virtual Replication is storage agnostic and made it easy to integrate a new site into their disaster recovery plan. Their original business continuity and disaster recovery (BC/DR) plan, affectionately named the "Hit by the bus" book due to its volume, has been greatly simplified and the service levels they are seeing are outstanding – single digit seconds for their recovery point objectives (RPO).
Finally, they are incorporating public cloud into their IT plans by backing up their applications from their DR site to AWS. With one solution, they can achieve their BC/DR and backup SLA, while reducing costs and introducing public cloud into their IT strategy at a pace that supports changing business requirements.
With Zerto Virtual Replication:
•Manage all sites in one pane of glass with one tool for replication and automation of failover, failback and testing processes as well as backup
•Increase efficiencies with the ability to track and manage consumption across the hybrid cloud
•Hardware agnostic solution does not require a change in the infrastructure reducing costs
•Consistency in the BC/DR solution dramatically reduces operational costs
•Replicates between different types of storage and versions of VMware vSphere making it easy to add new sites to the process
•Point-in-time recovery enables failover to a previous point to recover from any issue – logical corruption, datacenter outage, etc.
•Leveraging a public cloud strategy with backups stored in Amazon

Surfacing Critical Cyber Threats Through Security Intelligence
Apr 15 2015
62 mins
Dr. Sameer Bhalotra, Former White House Director; Chris Petersen, CTO; Robert F. Lentz, Former CISO for the Dept of Defense
The rapidly expanding supply chain supporting the cybercrime economy is empowering cyber criminals, cyber terrorists and even nation states in ways that put companies, critical infrastructure and governments at increased risk. The fate of an organization whose defenses have been compromised will be determined by the speed with which they can detect and respond to intruders. A mature security intelligence posture boosts an organization's resiliency amidst these advanced threats. If intruders are detected early in their lifecycle, organizations can respond quickly and potentially avoid loss altogether.
In this webinar, three cyber security veterans will discuss today's rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape and LogRhythm's new Security Intelligence Maturity Model™ (SIMM). They will explore how the SIMM provides organizations with a framework to plan for continuous reduction in their mean-time-to-detect (MTTD) and mean-time-to-respond (MTTR) to high-impact threats.
Learn about:
• Emerging cyber threat vectors in 2015.
• Security Intelligence and the critical role it plays in addressing high-impact threats
• Using the SIMM to assess your current Security Intelligence Maturity
• How to move from "greatly exposed" to "highly resilient" via End-to-End Threat Lifecycle Management

Gongyo and Daimoku
Chanting daimoku, Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, is termed the "primary practice" and reading or reciting the "Hoben" and "Juryo" chapters is called the "supplementary practice" or the "supporting practice."
The twenty-sixth high priest Nichikan Shonin explains the relationship between the primary and supplementary practices by comparing them to food and seasoning. In other words, when eating rice or noodles, the "primary" source of nourishment, you use salt or vinegar as seasoning to help bring out, or "supplement," the flavor.
The benefit from carrying out the primary practice is immense. When you also recite portions of the "Hoben" and "Juryo" chapters, it has the supplementary function of increasing and accelerating the beneficial power of the primary practice.
The benefit of chanting daimoku is immeasurable and boundless. Indeed, there is infinite power in chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo just one time. The Daishonin says, "If you recite these words of the daimoku once, then the Buddha nature of all living beings will be summoned and gather around you" (MW-5, 112).
Accordingly, you do not necessarily have to recite the sutra as you usually do in gongyo, if, for example, you are sick. If, as a result of forcing yourself to do a complete gongyo at such times, your condition should worsen, then, rather than increasing your benefit, it may in fact have the opposite effect of destroying your joy in faith and thus generating negative value.
Buddhism is reason. The important thing, therefore, is for each person to make wise judgments so that he or she will be able to carry out a practice of gongyo filled with joy at all times.
Gongyo and daimoku are the roots that, as it were, enable you to grow into a great tree. The tree of your life strengthens and grows as a cumulative result of your continuing practice of gongyo and chanting daimoku. While it may not be possible to see any changes from one day to the next, because of the daily nourishment a consistent practice affords, your life will one day become towering and vast like a great tree. As you carry out a steady practice, you will develop a state of life of absolutely indestructible happiness.
I imagine some of you may wonder how reciting sutra passages you cannot understand could bring about any benefit. Let me reassure you that definitely there is benefit from carrying out this practice.
The Daishonin says:
A baby does not know the difference between water and fire, and cannot distinguish medicine from poison. But when he sucks milk, his life is nourished and sustained. Although one may not be versed [in various sutras] . . . if one listens to even one character or one phrase of the Lotus Sutra, one cannot fail to attain Buddhahood. (MW-7, 104-105)
Just as a baby is nourished and grows naturally of its own by drinking milk, if you earnestly chant the Mystic Law with faith in the Gohonzon, your life definitely will come to shine with immeasurable good fortune and benefit.
At the same time, it is certainly true that if you study the meaning of the sutra based on this practice and with a seeking mind, you can deepen your confidence and strengthen your faith still further.
When we do gongyo and chant daimoku, we conduct a ceremony in which we praise Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, the law of the universe, and the Buddha. We also praise the eternal life of the universe, and the world of Buddhahood in our own lives.
[When we chant to the Gohonzon] right then and there the doors of the microcosm within us open completely to the macrocosm, and we can experience a great and serene sense of happiness, as though gazing out over the entire universe. We savor tremendous fulfillment and joy, and gain access to a great and all-embracing wisdom. The microcosm of our lives that is encompassed by the universe in turn encompasses the entire universe.
Gongyo revitalizes us from the very depths of our being. Therefore, the important thing is to do gongyo each day filled with a feeling of rhythm and cadence--like a white horse galloping through the heavens. I hope you will do the kind of satisfying gongyo that leaves you refreshed and revitalized in both body and mind.
--SGI President Daisaku Ikeda
Excerpted from Lectures on the "Hoben" (Expedient Means) and "Juryo" (Life Span of the Thus Come One) Chapters of the Lotus Sutra, (SGI-USA, 1996).

Tell The Truth
"The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history, whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite." ~ Thomas Jefferson
Be A Part Of The Change That Is Happening.
Be a part of the change that is happening by getting friends and people you meet interested in issues which are critical for the whole world. These key issues point to a very small minority of humanity who are making some truly awful decisions for the world.
Two key issues point to this small, callous group of people:
One is the '9-11 Attack'. The world needs to know the truth that '9-11' was planned and carried out by those who control America (and other countries) from behind the scenes. '9-11' was carried out to give this ruthless elite more power to invade countries and to change laws within the USA, UK, etc. See: 9-11 Index
The second key issue which points directly to this small, global elite is the massive release of chemicals and bioweapons from specific aircraft over dozens of countries. This massive spraying from a fleet of hundreds of aircraft has been termed 'Chemtrails'. See: Chemtrails
To find the evidence, search the Internet for:
'9-11 Truth' and 'Chemtrails'
Tell the world the truth and wake the world up.
Use your human rights of expression and self-determination.

After more than a decade spent aligning U.S. and international accounting rules, the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board is shifting its attention back toward domestic standards.
Going forward, the board expects it will focus on improving GAAP while working to "cooperate and coordinate as peers" with the IASB and other accounting standard setters around the world, James Kroeker, vice chairman of the FASB said on Thursday.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's long-awaited staff work plan on international accounting standards has raised more questions than it answered about whether the U.S. will move to using International Financial Reporting Standards. The report, which came without a specific recommendation after two and a half years of work, also lacked a timeline for whether the staff will be asked to develop a recommendation, or when the Commission might head toward a vote.
The Securities and Exchange Commission's staff on Friday afternoon released its long-awaited work plan on a method for possibly incorporating international accounting standards into the U.S. financial reporting system. The plan gave no recommendations on whether transitioning to International Financial Reporting Standards would be in the best interest of U.S. investors and capital markets, but did list many of the staff's continued concerns about the feasibility of such a move.
Hedge accounting, one of the most complex areas of U.S. and international accounting rules, is set to be overhauled, but it doesn't look like it will be any less complicated.
The IASB and FASB have long had different standards for hedge accounting, and even though both boards are working to improve the rules, they have seemingly reached different outcomes. The outstanding differences are somewhat puzzling to those following global efforts to converge U.S. and international accounting rules.
Suddenly the boom in Chinese listings on U.S. exchanges is looking shaky, and two primary reasons were reinforced in separate developments today. On Wall Street, Renren, dubbed the Chinese Facebook, tanked after its shares debuted at a stratospheric multiple on Wednesday, calling into question the appetite for future Chinese IPOs. Meanwhile, at a New York City financial conference, SEC officials were nearly elbowing each other out of the way to express their concerns about reverse mergers that are allowing Chinese firms to back door their way into U.S. markets. Renren's shares finished their first day of trading up 29%, giving the money-losing company a valuation of more than $7 billion. But a 15% drop today triggered the SEC's short sale circuit breaker rule, which imposes limits on short-selling if shares drop by more than 10% in a single day.
While U.S. and international accounting boards' recently decided to take a breather from some key convergence projects, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said on Wednesday that it's once again prepared to discuss incorporating international standards into U.S. financial reporting.

There are a number of Logo Design Inspiration sites out there, all of which provide similar resources. They offer the freelance logo designer a valuable way to increase the exposure of their work for ego purposes and impressing potential new clients. Not to mention providing a wealth of inspiration for idea strapped designers.
LogoGala, however, offers a few extras which sets it out from the other logo design inspiration and showcasing websites.
The Featured Logo – Not Just Pretty Pics
As you have no doubt caught on, I have cunningly timed this review to include my new ImJustCreative logo design, well, you know, if you got it, flaunt it.
The one thing that really sets out LogoGala is the Featured Logo section. It's not just a regular 'submit logo and thats it' site. It allows the designer an opportunity to explain the process involved with the design of the logo in question. Looking at cute logo's all day is one thing, but frankly, after a while, 'just' images start to loose their impact. More so now there is a trend for a lot of submitted logos to be concept based rather than 'real life client logos'. Often, the underlying reason for a logo design can be lost or just impossible to see.
The Featured Logo sets the record straight. Deron (@deronsizemore) has got this bit nailed down perfectly.
Upon submitting your logo, you also have the option of filling in a questionnaire. You can skip it if you want and just submit the logo design by filling in the following, or you can take some time out to answer some well thought out questions, some shown in image below.
Deron allows you, the designer, via LogoGala, to set the record straight.
This allows you to really go into as much detail as you want, there seems to be no character limit, so take the time and space to make the most of the opportunity.
Question 6 provides you with the option of attaching an image of your various sketches etc, which is a brilliant concept for a logo inspiration gallery. The real inspiration comes from seeing how the designer became 'inspired' in the process for a final logo.
Pretty Colours
A novel but useful part of LogoGala is the 'colours used' section. The website automagically picks out the main colours and displays them in a palette next to the logo design. On the home page, you can view logos by colours, which is a super neat way to find inspiration based on colour opposed to keywords.
No Voting here
A small aspect that I am in favour of is that LogoGala run without a voting system. It seems every inspiration and showcase site under the site is powered by votes. Ofcourse there are the most 'view and popular logos' shown on the homepage, but this is based on pure viewing numbers opposed to the very innacuate voting system.
Voting sites are flawed. It's a pointless system, especially If you are as cynical as me. The more 'friends' you have, the more votes you can assure yourself if you are so inclined. Just this very aspect means that any logos with the most votes can't really be taken seriously. It becomes almost laughable in this sense.
As with most other inspiration sites, LogoGala allows comments to be left. This is the most genuine way to show appreciation for a design you are 'inspired' by.
LogoGala Blog
Deron also keeps the LogoGala blog active and each month he features various logos in a monthly roundup, which is a genuine way to show appreciation for those submissions that attract the most 'eyes'.
The author
Deron Sizemore runs and maintains LogoGala and you can find him on Twitter @logogala and @deronsizemore. He also is the man behind 'NiceStylesheet.com' and 'Random Jabber.com'.

Darian Cruse, 18, of the 100 block of Mercer Street, allegedly stole a black 2008 Honda Pilot parked outside a home on the first block of Marshall Street, according to reports. The owner left the car running unattended to let it warm up before driving, police Chief James Faulborn said.
Police received reports about 6:22 p.m. Sunday that the car was missing, Faulborn said. A family member of the car's owner spotted the stolen car Monday parked in the 200 block of Irwin Street and called police, he said.
Cruse was found inside a home. The car is valued at $20,000, according to court documents.
Police arrested Cruse who faces theft charges. She was held in the Warren County jail in lieu of 10 percent of $10,000 bail.
This car theft is one of three reported in the last four days, police said. Easton police arrested a Phillipsburg man Saturday on charges that he had a car reportedly taken from Phillipsburg, Faulborn said.
Another car was reported stolen today from the 300 block of South Main Street, sometime between 1:30 a.m. and 7 a.m., he said. The car, described as a gold-colored 1996 Nissan Altima, was locked at the time, according to Faulborn.
The car is registered under the license plate U65CNP. Phillipsburg police ask anyone with information on the car's location to call police at 908-

Minnesota media day 2:30 today J Rob Ness Schlatter to be there. Can be viewed @ Gold zone.
Interesting day at The U. I'll let the writers break the stuff!
Hmmm....guess now someone owes me an apology? I am pretty sure I called this at the end of last year. I think its the right move. Kids done nothing but wrestle his whole life. Get him healed up, give him the year off and let him come back for one last hurrah and see how he does.
Schlatter acknowledged as possibilities what some people have speculated – that he might move from 149 pounds up to 157 pounds and that he might redshirt this season. "It's a possibility," said Schlatter. "I have gotten bigger. In the past I didn't want to be a bully and kick my brother out of the lineup. but now that he's gone... The main concern is for me to be healthy and I've struggled with that the last couple of years. We'll see how the next few weeks and the opens go, and then we'll see where I'm at."
"Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until they speak."
I do also like how the team rounds out then for 2009-2010.
Actually, there is an argument to be made.
'08-09 '09-'10
125:Sanders (FR) Sanders (SO)
133:Ness (JR) Ness (SR)
141:Thorn (SO) Thorn (JR)
149:Mason (RFR) Mason (RSO)
157:Safratowich (SR) Schlatter (SR)
167:Glasser (SO) Glasser (JR)
174:Young (FR) Cody Yohn (FR)
184: Eidy/Sonny Yohn Sonny Yohn (SO)
197:McPhail/Geiger Geiger (FR/SO)
HWT:Berhow (SO) Berhow/Disney
People that would argue that it would seem that Minnesota is giving up in 2008-2009 need only remember that guys like Ness and Safratowich can still go out and focus on their goals of being national champions while the young team around them can get ready for a run in 2009-2010.
"Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until they speak."
I've heard from various little birdies that they may pull what Smith did with Coleman Scott and Nathan Morgan with Mason.
That is, preserve the redshirt for as long as they can and if it comes down to it pull him out in January.
Should Dustin move up and they keep Mason in redshirt I haven't heard if Saf managed to cert at 49. I would hope he was able to as I'd hate to see him squeezed out of the line up his senior year especially given the way he went out and wrestled tough at 165 the last two years.
I'm sure if this goes down it won't take long for the "he's running away from Metcalf" deal to pop up, but if he's too big for 49 he's too big for 49.
It was a shame to see last year just after he finally got healthy and seemed to have his rhythm back given his major over Patacsil in the Big 10 semi's, he goes out and gets injured again fifteen seconds into the second period against Metcalf
I predicted that he would skirt Metcalf months ago. I was joking just to get a reaction but hey. As much as I would like to see two years of Metcalf Schlatter I cant argue with a guys body dictating action.
On another note does it look like Sonny will start or does anyone know.
I was told that Mason and Gieger are looking really,really good and may or could start as true freshman.

By Geoffrey Ciani: Paul Williams is the betting favorite in his upcoming bout with Winky Wright, and rightfully so. After all, it has been almost two full years since Winky last fought and he did not look particularly good in that fight. In contrast, Williams has fought four times since we last saw Winky, including knockout victories in each of his last three contests. It is typically wise for a fighter to take a tune-up after a long layoff, especially when entering a fight of this magnitude, but Winky apparently did not get the memo. Most members of the boxing community expect Winky to lose, and they are in for a big surprise on Saturday because Winky is going to win.. Far too much is being made of the long layoff. The way some fans are talking you would think nobody has ever had success in the ring following a long layoff. Some of these fans must be forgetting what Sugar Ray Leonard did after three years of inactivity when he made his middleweight debut in a triumphant effort against Marvelous Marvin Hagler. More recently, former heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko made a successful comeback bid when he defeated Sam Peter to regain the WBC strap after almost a four year layoff. These, of course, were sensational efforts made by exceptional fighters, but lest we forget, Winky was once widely recognized as one of the best in the sport. Too much is also being made of Winkys last effort inside the ring. Yes, he did look bad in that fight, but everyone looks bad against Bernard Hopkins. That is what Hopkins does besthe makes opponents look bad. In addition to that, Winky had no business fighting at 170 pounds and looked a bit too pudgy at that weight. Fortunately for Wright, he will be squaring off against Williams at his comfort zone of 160 pounds, which is much better suited for him. Williams, on the other hand, has had just one fight at that weight class and has never proven he can tango with the best the division has to offer whereas Winky has proven he can. There is no shame in losing to Bernard Hopkins, and despite the cries of many this fight is in no way indicative of how Winky will perform against Williams. A lot of fans got into the bad habit of underrating both Bernard and Winky following that fight, but since then, Bernard has dropped a razor-thin decision against all-time great Joe Calzaghe and totally annihilated reigning middleweight king Kelly Pavlik. Clearly, Hopkins was not as shot as many made him out to be following the Winky fight, and Winky will soon prove that the same can be said of him, too. Regardless, the comparisons between Williams and Hopkins carry no merit because the two could not be any more different in terms of styles. A commonly held misconception that is swaying many people in Williams favor stems from the perception on how to beat Winky. Many people are of the opinion that the way to beat Winky is by simply outworking him. This is incorrect. You do not beat Winky by merely outworking him, you beat him by roughing him up and disrupting his rhythm, as illustrated by Hopkins. Is the high work rate of Williams enough to disrupt Winkys rhythm and throw him off his game plan? This is highly unlikely. Winky is a seasoned vet who knows what he is doing inside the squared circle, so it is going to take more than sheer volume to beat him. Williams likes to throw straight punches and keep opponents at the end of his lengthy jab, but such punches are tailor-made for Winkys impregnable guard. To get past Winkys block, you need to rough him up on the inside and loop punches around his high guard. This is not Pauls forte, as he is more apt to maintain his distance behind straight shots. If Paul tries to throw straight through Winkys guard he will be in for a long night. Felix Trinidad and Jermain Taylor both tried employing this tactic. For Trinidad, this strategy failed miserably. Taylor, however, had mixed success. His volume punching did manage to slow Winky down at times, but remember, Taylor hits much harder than Williams and was the naturally bigger man. Even though Williams is taller and has a freakishly long reach, make no mistake, Winky is the bigger, stronger fighter, and it will show. Williams will soon learn what Shane Mosley learned before himWinky hits harder than advertised. While so much is being made of Winkys efforts against Hopkins, very little is being made of Williams lackluster showing with Carlos Quintana. Fans have apparently forgiven Williams for that performance, and not without reason. After dropping a shocking upset decision against Quintana, Williams redeemed himself when he stopped Quintana in a single round four months later. For some, this was proof enough that Williams had an off night. I must be less forgiving than most fans, because despite the impressive first round knockout in the rematch, I am not at all sold that this was just an off night for Paul. Williams showed a lot of flaws that night, and if Quintana was able to exploit them just imagine what Winky is capable of doing. Quintana managed to expertly tame Williams work rate by using basic counter punching techniques. Not only was Quintana successfully countering Williams at will, but he was also able to neutralize his offensive output in the process. At times, Quintana was even able to dominate the action. The end result was a frustrated Williams who was unsure of himself and did not have any answers to the simple defensive-countering mechanisms employed by Quintana. If a mediocre contender like Quintana was able to give Williams fits, Winky should have a field day with him. After all, few fighters in the sport are as defensively sound as Winky and even fewer are better when it comes to neutralizing an opponents strengths. Williams main asset is volume, and yet, that was easily tamed by Quintana. Even though Williams overwhelmed him with power in the rematch, he never did prove he could handle Quintanas style, let alone a superior style like Winkys, and unlike Quintana, Wright is not likely to fold from a Williams onslaught of punches. Expect this bout to unfold in similar fashion to Wrights fight with Jermain Taylor, at least in the early going. Winky will undoubtedly have a little ring rest and Williams will give him some difficulty early on with his work rate. When Winky begins finding his rhythm, however, expect him to take full control of the fight. Once Winky begins effectively countering Williams, there is a strong likelihood he will return to the shell of uncertainty we saw when he first faced Quintana. Winkys southpaw stance will surely trouble Williams, and once Williams starts feeling the wrath of a good punching middleweight, I expect Winky to begin wearing him down both mentally and physically. At the end of the day, Williams has never fought a fighter of Winkys caliber. His best win to date was against the very good but very limited Antonio Margarito. Beating Margarito, while impressive, does nothing to help him against a truly elite talent like Winky Wright. Winky has fought and beaten better caliber fighters than Paul Williams, has withstood better punchers than Williams, and simply put, Winky is the much better and more complete fighter and I expect this to be on full display come Saturday. I anticipate a unanimous decision for Winky with scores along the lines of 117-111, 116-112, 116-112, but a late stoppage in his favor would not surprise me in the least. Its almost Winky Time.

Lens problem or M43 contrast focus problem?

Lens problem or M43 contrast focus problem?
Nov 30, 2012
I took my new Panasonic G5 with the 100-300mm for a trip recently and came back with mixed feelings on this combo.
In Vegas, I took some shots of 2 girls by the pool across the street, and the zoom lens works perfect, whether optical 300mm, or even with 4X digital zoom. See attached. The 20mm f1.7 shot is just to put it into perspective.
However, when I tried it for birding, it was disappointing. somehow, it just cannot focus properly with a flock of birds on the pool, even stepped down to f10 with shutter speed of 1/500 and O.I.S. on.
What could be the problem? Contrast focus system cannot work when all birds look alike? Bokeh problem?

The Gospel of Mark as Reaction and Allegory
Paperback, 168 Pages
Ships in 3-5 business days
The Gospel of Mark is one of the most influential writings in all of human history, and one of the most seemingly enigmatic as well. This book takes an in-depth look at the symbolism and scriptural references in the Gospel of Mark in order to explain how and why this enigmatic work was written.
This is an excellent book for both Christians and non-Christians, laymen and scholars, as it is written in an easy to read accessible style, but takes a very detailed and critical look at the texts.
The ultimate conclusion is that the Gospel of Mark was written as an allegorical story in reaction to the destruction of Judea in 70 CE, the intention of which was to portray the Judean Jews as having brought the destruction upon themselves.

Looking for Restaurants in Palm Springs & LA
- 5 Comments
- Follow
I will be in Palm Springs for 4 days next week and LA for 1 day and am looking for some good food in Palm Springs & LA. Seems like alot of chain restaurants in Palm Springs, althought someone mentioned Hogs Breath Inn in La Quinta. Also, having hard time trying to figure out where to go in LA as there is so much to choose from. Ideally looking for Italian or American. Any suggestions? many thanks
For deli with huge portions and great deli desserts (big enough for two) I like "Manhattan in the Desert"
Ran across a hole-in-the-wall BBQ place (counter seating) called Cowboy Way BBQ. The owner was on the competitive BBQ circuit. Ordered a half slab of beef ribs for $15, but they give you a whole slab (7 ribs) and some of the best BBQ beans you'll ever have.

re: monku
I agree. Try the pulled pork with its soft strands and burnt ends. Cowboy Way is probably the best American BBQ for 100 miles around, certainly the best I've had in the Coachella Valley.
Babe's (in The River shopping center) is much more upscale and comfortable, and the BBQ isn't bad -- see http://www.palmspringslife.com/Palm-S... for a puff piece that's reasonably accurate. They're infinitely better than Famous Dave's (at least the one in Redlands that I stopped at a few months ago after Babe's sister restaurant, the Slim Pig N's, went out of business -- thanks, Redlands), better than Lucille's, but not as good as Wood Ranch (to mention three roughly similar places less than 100 miles away ;-). Babe's fruit pies are among the best I've ever had in a restaurant.
Babe's B-B-Que Grill & Brewhouse
71800 Highway 111, Rancho Mirage, CA 922700
You didn't say Mexican, but if you have an interest try El Galito in Cathedral City. Been there many years and truly good home style Mexican food (hand made tortillas). Their chips are addicting as hell and some damn good salsa to go with them.

Investoradio for December 23, 2012 |
Merry Christmas! Santa Claus opens the show, direct from the North Pole, to help us share a important gift with all of you. Our gift to you is a sure fire way to increase the returns from your investments. Yes, there is an actual guaranteed way to make more; pay less. To help us make the case for lower expenses increasing returns, we searched the web and found excerpts from interviews with three renowned academics, Eugene Fama from University of Chicago, Kenneth French from Dartmouth, and Nobel Laureate, William Sharpe from Stanford. Also, we make an example of a firm with what we believe charges some of the most egregious investment management fees we have ever found, Flexible Plan Investments. Have a wonderful holiday and don't miss our special New Year's show next week. |

The team also implement the dry release of nanostructures and demonstrate the fabrication of suspended nanobridges across the inclined walls of micron-scale grooves. Such released nanostructures provide a platform for various types of sensing and thermal conductivity measurements. Realization of suspended nano-networks on multilevel and corrugated surfaces brings, among others, new functionalities for micro- and nanofluidics, and lab-on-a-chip applications.
The challenges of corrugated surfaces
Nanofabrication on corrugated surfaces is generally very challenging since it requires preserving conformal resist distribution, good focusing, and equal etching rates for different height levels. The application of ALD and FIB effectively solves the problems with resist deposition and exposure. The difficulties associated with non-uniform etching speed are addressed by solely utilizing dry etching for both the resist development and release etching steps. The group from Aalto University demonstrates the fabrication of only 50 nm-wide suspended TiO2 nanobridges that follow the inclined Si wall of a micron-scale groove and retain their width from the top to the bottom.
A fast, reproducible and tolerant method
The shown fabrication of released nanostructures provides a platform for the consequent deposition of other materials. The authors also realize suspended nanowires through the bilayer TiO2/Al2O3 resist, where the Al2O3 underlayer is mechanically robust and has good etch-stop properties. The practical value of the proposed method is in its universal character, since it can tolerate arbitrary surface corrugation (trenches, grooves etc.). The method is also fast and reproducible due to the minimized number of process steps and absence of wet etching.
Future research includes experiments on new combinations of ion-sensitive resist materials (e.g. ALD nanolaminates) and new types of structures. In addition, the chemistry utilized in dry etching allows for application of the process to a number of polymers.
More information can be found in the journal Nanotechnology 25 335302 (IOPselect article).

Died | 29 March 1912 Antarctica |

Edward Adrian Wilson FZS ("Uncle Bill") (23 July 1872 – 29 March 1912) was an English physician, polar explorer, natural historian, painter and ornithologist.
Early life[edit]
Born in Montpellier Terrace, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, on 23 July 1872, Wilson was the second son and fifth child of physician Dr Edward Thomas Wilson (1832–1918) and his wife, Mary Agnes, née Whishaw (1841–1930).[1] A clever, sensitive, but boisterous boy, he developed a love of the countryside, natural history and drawing from an early age.[2] He was sent as a boarder to a preparatory school in Clifton, Bristol, but after failing to gain a scholarship to public school, he attended Cheltenham College for Boys as a day pupil.[3] His mother was a poultry breeder and he spent much of his youth at The Crippetts farm, Leckhampton near Cheltenham.[4] By the age of nine he had announced to his parents that he was going to become a naturalist.[5] With encouragement and tuition from his father, he started to draw pictures of the wildlife and fauna in the fields around the farm.[6] After passing his Oxford and Cambridge exams with honours in science, in 1891 he went to Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge where he read Natural Sciences, obtaining a first class degree in 1894.[7][8] It was during his time there that he developed the deep Christian faith and asceticism by which he lived his life.[9] He studied for his Bachelor of Medicine (M.B.) degree at St George's Hospital Medical School, London and undertook mission work in the slums of Battersea in his spare time.[10] In February 1898, shortly before qualifying as a doctor, Wilson became seriously ill and was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis, contracted during his mission work.[11] During a long convalescence from this illness he spent months in Norway and Switzerland, time he used to practice and develop his skills as an artist.[12] He qualified in medicine in 1900 and the next year was appointed Junior House Surgeon at Cheltenham General Hospital.[13] He married Oriana Souper on 16 July 1901 just three weeks before setting off for the Antarctic as a member of Robert Falcon Scott's Discovery Expedition.[14]
Wilson took part in two British expeditions to Antarctica, the Discovery Expedition and the Terra Nova Expedition, both under the leadership of Scott.
Discovery Expedition[edit]
From 1901 to 1904, Wilson acted as Junior Surgeon, Zoologist and expedition artist, setting off with the expedition on 6 August 1901. They reached Antarctica in January 1902. On 2 November 1902, Wilson, Scott and Ernest Shackleton set off on a journey that, at the time, was the southern-most trek achieved by any explorer. The party had dogs but they were not experienced in using them and the food brought for the dogs had gone bad. With many of the dogs dead, they turned back on 31 December 1902 having reached latitude 82°17'S. They had travelled 300 miles farther south than anyone before them and were only 480 miles from the Pole. Shackleton was deteriorating rapidly, coughing blood and suffering fainting spells and unable to help pull the sledge. Scott and Wilson, themselves suffering, struggled to get the party home. It was a close call but 93 days after setting off, having covered 960 miles, they reached the Discovery and safety in February 1903. The following month, Shackleton, having suffered particularly badly from scurvy and exhaustion, was sent home early by Scott on the relief ship, Morning. On his return, Shackleton asked Wilson to join his Nimrod expedition to Antarctica in 1907, but partly out of loyalty to Scott, he declined.
Terra Nova Expedition[edit]
On 15 June 1910, Wilson set sail from Cardiff on the Terra Nova, as Chief of the Scientific Staff of Scott's final expedition. After making stops in Madeira, South Trinidad, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, the Terra Nova was trapped for 3 weeks by pack ice, and finally arrived at Cape Evans in McMurdo Sound in early January 1911. A base camp hut was built and 3 weeks later work began to establish the supply depots in preparation for the journey to the South Pole the following austral spring. Deteriorating weather conditions and weak, unacclimatised ponies meant that the main supply point, One Ton Depot, was laid 35 miles (56 km) further north of its planned location at 80°S, something that was to prove critical during the return journey from the Pole the following year.
In the austral winter of 1911, Wilson led "The Winter Journey", a journey with Henry Robertson Bowers and Apsley Cherry-Garrard, to the Emperor penguin breeding grounds at Cape Crozier to collect eggs for scientific study. The 60-mile journey was made in almost total darkness, with temperatures reaching as low as −70 °F (−57 °C). Frozen and exhausted, they reached their goal only to be stopped by a blizzard during which their tent was ripped away and carried off by the wind, leaving the men trapped in their sleeping bags for a day and a half under a thickening drift of snow. When the winds subsided, by great fortune they found their tent lodged about half a mile away in rocks. Having successfully collected three eggs and desperately exhausted they returned to Cape Evans on 1 August 1911, five weeks after setting off. Cherry-Garrard later described this expedition in his memoir, The Worst Journey in the World.
On 1 November 1911, fourteen men set off from Cape Evans on the long trip to the South Pole. 79 days later, Wilson was one of the five-man Polar party that reached the Pole on 18 January 1912, only to find the pole had been claimed by Norwegian Roald Amundsen and his team just five weeks earlier.
Their return journey soon became a desperate affair mainly due to the exceptionally adverse weather. On 17 February, near the base of the Beardmore glacier, Petty Officer Edgar Evans died, suspected to be from a brain injury sustained after a fall into a crevasse two weeks earlier. Then, in a vain attempt to save his companions, Captain Lawrence Oates deliberately stumbled out of their tent to his death on 16 March after his frostbitten feet developed gangrene. Wilson, Scott and Bowers continued on for 3 more days, progressing 20 more miles, but were stopped by a blizzard on 20 March 11 miles short of the 'One Ton' food depot that could have saved them. The blizzard continued for days, longer than they had fuel and food for. Too weak, cold and hungry to continue, they died in their tent on or soon after 29 March (Scott's last diary entry), still 148 miles from their base camp. Their bodies were found by a search party the following spring on 12 November 1912. Their tent was collapsed over them by the search party who then buried them where they lay, under a snow cairn, topped by a cross made from a pair of skis. When news of the tragedy reached Britain in February 1913, it created a national mourning.
Affectionately nicknamed 'Uncle Bill' by the men of the expedition, Wilson was the confidant of many, respected for his judgement, skills at mediation and dedication to others. By all accounts, Wilson was probably Scott's closest comrade of the expedition. Scott wrote "Words must always fail me when I talk of Bill Wilson. I believe he really is the finest character I ever met." When Scott's final camp was discovered by a search team in November 1912, Bowers and Wilson were found frozen in their sleeping bags. Scott's bag was open and his body partially out of his bag – his left arm was extended across Wilson.
At Gonville and Caius College the college's flag which Wilson took to the South Pole is preserved.
In media[edit]
In the film Scott of the Antarctic, Wilson was played by Harold Warrender. In the Central TV production 'The Last Place on Earth', Wilson was played by Stephen Moore. In the BBC Four production 'The Worst Journey in the World', Wilson was played by John Artur.
The statue of Wilson on the Promenade in Cheltenham, modelled by Scott's widow Kathleen, was unveiled on 9 July 1914 by Arctic explorer Sir Clements Markham. In September 2013 the Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum was renamed 'The Wilson' in his honour.[15] There is a large block of flats named after him in Hesters Way, Cheltenham.
The Edward Wilson Primary School in Paddington, London is named after him. The students' café at St George's Hospital Medical School is named Eddie Wilson's.

Lawyers' Duty to Do Justice: A New Look at the History of the 1908 CanonsSusan CarleAmerican University Washington College of Law Law & Social Inquiry, Vol. 24, p. 1, 1999 Abstract: This article examines a long-forgotten controversy about lawyers' duties to evaluate the justice of their clients' causes in civil cases, which took place among the members of the Committee of the American Bar Association that drafted the 1908 Canons of Professional Responsibility. The article presents an analysis of newly discovered internal working documents of this important, but never before examined, ABA Committee, supplemented with primary historical research into the views and backgrounds of the Committee's members. The article demonstrates how a clash of perspectives among these men -- traceable in part to their backgrounds but also to their unpredictable allegiances to conflicting trends in legal thought at the turn of the century -- prevented the Committee from reaching a satisfactory resolution on the duty-to-do-justice issue. The Committee members instead adopted ineffectual compromise language in the Canons, leaving us with legacy of concealed ambivalence on the question of lawyers' "duty to do justice" in civil cases.

Native American Poem
As I write these words on this page I
am reminded of the time before paper existed before we had discovered America.
The people of America roamed the planes and mountains of the great land
striving to survive the many dangers of North America.
The fire was flickering,
The fire was dying,
And a child's life sighing,
He lay upon a cliff that was slowly
In the depths of a great pit,
Of people that have never seen the
light of the great land that is America
Now the fire is dying and the child's
life sighing
A child's mind rethought the time,
When all people of this time had said
that this is the land of the people,
That has survived the dangers of
Now the fire is dying and the child's
life sighing.
Now that the people of the great land
are dying,
And death's face is smiling,
At the people of the great land of America.
Now the fire is dying and the child's
life sighing.
When the people of the great ship
Their bone white skin blazing,
The fire's breath sighed
As the fire's life died.
Now the fire is dying and the child's
life sighing.

America is but a place.
A place of wilderness,
A place of green fertility,
The place of many legends,
But still a place.
I am here to tell you
About this place.
America is the home of great
Of stories yet untold,
Of people that make the legends of
America real to behold.
But as I talk about this place,
This place of legends,
I will sadly say of great happenings
holding sway.
For great wars are being fought,
And great people dying,
For this great land is but sighing,
In the fields of dying America.

6 moves, no way
I checked Artemis Fowl, The Arctic Incident, out of the library. It's a good book but on page 49 it says that Artemis beat a grandmaster in 6 moves.
That's impossible! The shortest game with a grandmaster was 17 moves. No way to do it in 6 moves. Someone does not know much about chess.
