By Artisana271 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Sep 2016
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?2.69 lbs (1.22 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
I've used a number of brands of almond butter, both raw and roasted. All, except for Artisana, are inconsistent in freshness. In fact, my experience has been that most of the time the other almond butters are rancid. I'm not crazy-fussy, but rancid is just not acceptable. I did a little online research and discovered the reason why this is the case. Most companies use the leftover broken pieces of almonds to process the product and almonds just don't stay fresh once broken. Artisana apparently uses fresh whole almonds, assuring that the product is truly fresh before jarring. That's why it's on the expensive side, but it's worth it. Not only is it healthier to eat raw nuts and seeds, it's imperative that they're fresh. Nothing's more unhealthy than rancid fat!
I ordered this on a thursday and got it delivered on tuesday the week after. I live in Norway and I can say that for something to be shipped that fast is extraordinary! Great condition on the butter, I LOVE IT! Cheers

Grammar Schools
This page is known as: www.birmingham.gov.uk/grammar-schools
Entry to The Grammar Schools in Birmingham
For entry to selective schools in September 2015 only those children born between 1 September 2003 and 31 August 2004 are eligible to take the optional selective tests.
If you wish your child to be entered for a selective test, you should discuss this with your child's Headteacher first. Within Birmingham there is one selective test your child can sit. Selective tests are held for places at one of the grammar schools within The Grammar Schools in Birmingham.
In addition, you may also wish your child to sit selective tests for schools outside Birmingham. Please note that other Local Authorities have different closing dates and admission arrangements and you are advised to contact them for further information.
An application to sit the selective tests is not an expression of preference for the school concerned. You must also complete the preference form of your home Local Authority (i.e. the Local Authority to which you pay your council tax).
The Grammar Schools in Birmingham
The following grammar schools are within The Grammar Schools in Birmingham:
• Bishop Vesey's Grammar School for Boys
• Handsworth Grammar School
• King Edward VI Aston School
• King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Boys
• King Edward VI Camp Hill School for Girls
• King Edward VI Five Ways School
• King Edward VI Handsworth School
• Sutton Coldfield Grammar School for Girls
Entry requirements
Optional tests for the admission of pupils to any of The Grammar Schools in Birmingham will take place on Saturday 6 September 2014. If you wish your child to be entered for the selective test for one of the above schools then you should complete and return the Request for Optional Test form by 16:00 hours (4pm) on 11 July 2014 at the latest. You must attach a passport sized photograph of your child to your form for identification purposes.
Please note that if your form has not been received by Friday 11 July 2014, for whatever reason, your child will not be permitted to take the tests.
Optional Test forms and an explanatory brochure will be available from May 2014 from The Grammar Schools in Birmingham (Tel: 0121 415 6004) and the individual grammar schools. You can also visit the website at http://www.kingedwardthesixth.org/
Application forms should be returned to: The Grammar Schools in Birmingham, Edgbaston Park Road, Birmingham, B15 2UD
All Optional Test forms received will be acknowledged within fourteen days. Candidates will then be informed of their allocated test centre and the time at which they should attend to take the selective test.
If you do not receive an acknowledgement, or if you post your application form less than fourteen days before the closing date, you should contact the Grammar Schools in Birmingham before the closing date to confirm that your form has been received.
Supplementary tests will be held later in September 2014 for those who provide proof of illness on the day of the original test (a medical certificate or doctor's letter) or proof they cannot sit the test on that day on religious grounds (a letter from their religious leader).
Candidates will only be required to sit one test to be considered for a place at a school that forms part of the Consortium. There are 2 exams of approximately 45 minutes duration each. Papers will be divided into smaller individually timed sections that test:
• Verbal reasoning/literacy skills
• Non-verbal reasoning
• Reading comprehension
• Mathematics
Candidates will write their answers in the booklets provided. Some questions take a multiple choice format. Marks will be standardised to take account of differences in age and then added together.
Results of tests
The results of Birmingham grammar school tests should be sent by letter to parents by 17 October 2014. The test results will be sent out by The Grammar Schools in Birmingham. Once parents receive the test results for their child they should make an informed decision as to whether they should name a grammar school as one of their preferences.
Offer of grammar schools
Please refer to the schools' oversubscription criteria in the 'Opportunities for your child in Birmingham 2015' booklet for details of how each school offers places.
Coaching for Selective Tests
The Local Authority's policy is that no teaching or coaching for selective tests should take place in any of the city's primary schools. It is believed that the practice of coaching is counterproductive, as overachievement in the selective tests may be against the
long term interests of children whose ability may be more limited than their test score would suggest.
Head Teachers who receive requests for guidance from parents have been asked to provide this within the context of the overall educational development of the children concerned.
Selective Tests and Equality Act 2010
It is unlawful for a Local Authority to discriminate against a person who is considered to have a disability in any of the following ways:
• the arrangements made for determining the admission of pupils to a school;
• the terms on which admission to the school is offered; or
• refusing or deliberately not accepting an application for admission to a school from someone who is disabled.
Where a pupil has a disability (as defined in the Equality Act 2010), the admission authority must consider any reasonable adjustments that could be made to ensure that disabled pupils are not placed at a substantial disadvantage to those who are not disabled.
If you were entering your child for the selective test for a place The Grammar Schools in Birmingham and you want your child considered for a reasonable adjustment because of a disability, then please contact The Grammar Schools in Birmingham on 0121 415 6004 to request an application form (Form A1).
The application form will be available from May 2014. Please note that parents/carers were required to submit the information requested on Form A1 by no later than 20 June 2014.
For further information and independent advice please contact the Equality and Human Rights Commission Helpline on 0845 604 6610 or visit www.equalitieshumanrights.com

I really think Monty and Dell could help cousins.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
We have to get Bledsoe he is an absolute beast. He will be the best defensive PG in the NBA on this team. Mini LeBron is an understatement. But really he can do everything LeBron does at the PG position. I think with starters minutes he lead PGs in Steals, Rebounds, Blocks, and has potential to be right up with the scorers and assists leaders once developed better. I love Gordon but would rather a backcourt of Bledsoe/Rivers/George or Bledsoe/Rivers/Deng then a Rivers/Gordon/George-Deng or Bledsoe/Rivers-Gordon/?. I really believe if we can get Bledsoe and maybe move Gordon for a good SF asset in return once value rises will set us for the future. We are in the Western Finals by year 3 if we make some moves.
Man I should have lool at this topic before making the Cousins one, sorry
I guess I'm the only one who would rather keep the draft pick. Before somebody responds that Gordon could take us out of that range, he has to actually stay healthy long enough to make a big impact. If we get towards the end of the season and are in "tank" mode then no reason to have Gordon in there
Give me Bledsoe but not for this years first. Make it 2014 top 3 protected and the players.
I don't understand why people think Houston would give up Parsons... He's under an amazing contract and is their starter for a foreseeable future. The Rockets got rid of Budinger in order to give Parson bigger minutes. Put down the crack pipe people.
Knicks didn't "give up on" Galinari, Chandler, Mozgov, etc. - they just identified a star and in this league you usually have to give in order to get.
With latest Cousins news, here is my best trade attempt staying true to the article, using our 2013 pick involving Sacto:
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
But to each their own
If Philly really is entertaining the idea of moving Bynum, I would bet my life that at least a half a dozen GM's are willing to make a trade. Heck, teams were offering packages for Oden every year that he was hurt. There are franchises (like Houston) that will never land a Wadeor Bosh or Lebron in free agency and they will never be bad enough to draft an Anthony Davis, so they have to take big risks to get their stars.
I understand that you (or I) wouldn't do it in a million years if we were a GM, but that is not good rationale for saying that no GM would do it. Some simply would.
Keep pick draft shabazz
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
http://m.espn.go.com/nba/story?storyId=3917505New Orleans Hornets' last 12 games before the All-Star break with a sprained left ankle. But that had nothing to do with why he failed his physical with the Oklahoma City Thunder and was thus sent back to the Hornets on Wednesday
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyson_Chandler"However, he failed the physical because of a toe injury, and one day later, the Thunder announced that they rescinded the trade"
http://www.nba.com/2009/news/02/18/c....ap/index.html"Chandler failed a physical Wednesday, and the Thunder backed out of the deal that sent Chris Wilcox, Joe Smith and second-round pick DeVon Hardin to New Orleans"
You might not classify it as a failed physical but the rest of the world does.
Last edited by BallSoHard; 12-22-2012 at 10:51 PM.
That is the Thunder's side of it. They needed to word it that way to back out of the trade. Check out what Chandler said after. It was his doctor who performed the physical and he was confused as to why his own doctor would now say it was degenerative.
Anyway, it doesn't really matter. This isn't about Chandler. It is about whether or not you believe some GM's are bigger risk takers than others.

Texas -
Junior right fielder Tyler Naquin went 4-for-5 at the plate and collected his
16th career outfield assist Wednesday afternoon on Olsen Field at
Blue Bell Park as the No. 5 Texas A&M baseball team defeated Northwestern
State 8-1.
tied his career high with the four base knocks to highlight a quartet of Aggies
that enjoyed a multi-hit afternoon during the team's 15-hit outburst. Junior
shortstop Mikey Reynolds also set his personal best as he notched three singles
in the victory.
thought we played as well as we have in a long time, probably since that first
weekend series," Texas A&M head coach Rob Childress said. "I was proud of
the way we played in every facet of the game: offensively, defensively and on
the mound."
Corey Ray (1-0) gave Texas A&M a solid outing on the mound, earning his
first career victory by throwing seven strong innings allowing just one run on
six hits, while walking only one and striking out four.
was really proud of Corey Ray's performance," Childress added. "That's about as
well as I've seen him pitch in a while. He got rattled a little bit in the
first inning. The one walk he had, they made him pay for it, but after that he
really settled in and pitched a heck of a ball game. It's important for us.
We've got another guy that we can count on in the middle of the week."
the contest's eventual one-sided outcome it was the Demons who scored first,
getting an RBI single from designated hitter Colin Bear in the top of the first
to take a 1-0 lead.
single run would be all that Ray and the A&M defense allowed on the
afternoon as the Aggies quickly took control of the contest in the home half of
the third. During the frame A&M used back-to-back, two-out RBI singles from
Naquin and senior third baseman Matt Juengel to take a 2-1 advantage.
Juengel, the run batted in would be the first of four in the contest for the
Houston native, giving him a team-best 32 during his three-year Aggie career.
A&M seized all of the momentum during the bottom of the fifth as Reynolds
and Naquin notched consecutive singles to begin the frame. Juengel pushed across
the inning's first run as the Demons committed an error trying to retire him at
first base. Freshman Mitchell Nau and senior Jacob House added RBI singles
before two more runs came across on a passed ball and fielding error, respectively.
been really good offensively the last three games, like we're capable of being,"
Childress said. "It's really good that we can maintain that consistency. We
have 12 or 13 hitters that are playing every day and those are the guys we're
going to count on. On the pitching side of things, our bullpen has been
fantastic and they were again today."
State attempted mount a comeback in the sixth inning with what appeared to be a
two-out double from Bear, however, Naquin fired a laser throw from deep in the
right field corner to second base, cutting down the runner and ending the

Uriegas contributed scoreless innings out of the A&M bullpen to give the
game its final score and improve the Aggies' record this spring to 8-1.

The 30 best live acts in the world today
16th Jun 2011 | 22:00
The 30 greatest live acts in the world today
With festival season upon us once again and a mud-splattered summer of carnage under canvas in prospect, there's no time like the present to find out which band or solo artist blows the competition away. When it comes to electrifying live performances, who rocks the hardest? Who puts on the greatest show on earth?
You voted in your thousands, and now it's time to find out the results. Here are the 30 greatest live bands and solo artists in the world today, as voted for by you. Click onwards to find out who is the hottest ticket on the planet...
Arguably the biggest rap artist on the planet, Jigga is also a live force to be reckoned with. The man sure knows how to put on a show.
His '08 appearance at Glastonbury is the perfect testament to why Jay-Z deserves a place on our list. Following months of controversy about his selection as the festival's first ever hip-hop headliner, and a war of words with Noel Gallagher, Jay-Z turned up and casually treated a huge crowd to a set pack with stone cold classics - plus a somewhat satirical cover of Oasis's Wonderwall.
Not only the perfect way to cement rap's place at the heart of mainstream music, but one of the best headlining sets Pilton has seen in recent years…
"This is a song off our new record" is the kind of introduction guaranteed to please the die-hard fans but send the neutrals galloping towards the bar.
To be fair to Neal Schon et al, there's much more to Journey than one big hit, but when it comes to winning over an audience, it certainly helps to have a tune in your setlist so colossal that it can't fail to bring the house down. Yep, it's that one. We don't even have to mention it by name.
If you're struggling to understand the concept of stage presence, take a look at Beyoncé in action. TV talent show judges are often heard to make the vacuous claim that a contestant has 'owned the stage', but Beyoncé actually does.
The quality of her vocal performances shouldn't be underestimated, either, nor should the tightness of her band. She'll have Glastonbury 2011 in her pocket.
Kanye West
Kanye totally proves the rule - prominent in hip-hop - that the more detached from reality you are, the more exciting a performer you become.
Sure, it might grate on some when he burst onstage at an awards show at the expense of Taylor Swift, but when he's touring his bonkers-but-brilliant new album with overblown stage shows and troupes of ballet dancers in tow, who's going to complain that he's gone a bit nuts?
Machine Head
Oakland, CA's heaviest sons have been tearing audiences a new one since 1992 and 2007's The Blackening was acclaimed by the rock press as one of the leading heavy metal albums of the last decade.
Want heavy? You've got ten tons of it.
The Black Keys
Few bands can pull-off garage blues-rock with the integrity, authenticity and passion of The Black Keys.
There may only be two of them, but these boys can make the sort of glorious racket with just a guitar and a drum kit that most five-piece bands would sell an internal organ to be able to crank out.
They may have alienated the drum 'n' bass community that initially embraced them, but Pendulum can take comfort in the fact that their swerve to an electro-rock path has helped them to become a feted live act.
Their incendiary shows have proven to be particularly popular on the festival circuit: you don't want to be the band playing on the other stage during their time slot.
If any band epitomises the big tear-jerking, festival-closing moment it's Coldplay. And releasing the anthemic Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall ahead of next week's Glastonbury headlining slot is a canny - if predictable - move. There's no better audience to push your new material at than 100,000 soppy ravers in a Somerset field, after all.
Coldplay's shows, though, mirror the tunes: they're huge. And Chris Martin's energetic enthusiasm, even when he's sat at a piano, is contagious. Who could forget this moment at Sydney's Sound Relief in 2007 when Chris decides to jump security and go for a pleasant sprint through the frantic crowd.
MusicRadar was lucky enough to witness Aerosmith's headline set at Download 2010 and we can honestly say that not only were they the stars of the weekend, but they blew away the competition with consummate ease.
Despite the rain, even the stragglers at the back were in the palm of Steven Tyler's hand throughout a hit-packed set.
Paul McCartney
It would be difficult for Macca to come up with a setlist that wasn't all-killer. Hell, we've even got a soft spot for We All Stand Together.
As singalongs go, Hey Jude at Glastonbury 2004 was one of the greatest ever, with the outro resounding around the bar areas and campsite at Worthy Farm hours after the former Beatle and his stellar backing band had left the stage.
Green Day
Green Day's rise from garage three-chord punk rockers to stadium-filling three-chord radio mainstays has been an unprecedented achievement. Formed way back in 1987 yet still, somehow, 'down with the kids', this forever-young three-piece have remained poster boys for several generations of rebellious stoner teenagers… and their moms.
Live, Green Day instil the kind of wild, devil-horn wielding crowd behaviour only possible in an arena full of young adults. It's all about who can start the furthest away moshpit...
Lady Gaga
A Lady Gaga concert has that wonderful mix of pop accessibility and bonkers, over-blown, high-budget nonsense.
Who knows if she's going to turn up wearing clothes made of meat? Or be wheeled out in a coffin? Or possibly be shooting pyrotechnics from some body part or other? Who knows? But either way, she'll definitely bring some massive pop tunes along for the ride…
The Rolling Stones
What can you say about The Rolling Stones? At an age when they ought to be doing nothing more strenuous than mowing the lawn, Jagger, Richards, Watts and Wood are still capable of strutting around the globe and dusting off the kind of back catalogue that almost everyone else in this list would give their right arm for.
Will they tour again? Almost certainly...
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band
Last seen ripping up enormodomes with the E-Street Band on his Working on a Dream Tour in 2009, Springsteen is currently in the studio working on his next album, so we may see a return to the road in 2012.
For the moment, though, our thoughts are with E Street saxophonist Clarence Clemons as he recovers from the stroke he suffered last week.
Rage Against The Machine
When Rage Against The Machine split in 2000, the rock world lost one of its most potent live bands. Happily, sporadic reunions in recent years and 2009's Killing In The Name for Christmas number one campaign have seen the Los Angeles quartet back to their provocative, incendiary best.
Whether or not we'll ever see another RATM studio album is up for debate, but frankly, we'll always be up for bouncing around the moshpit to explosive classics like this.
The thing that makes Radiohead such a phenomenal live act is the way they've adapted and evolved over the past decade.
Post-OK Computer the Oxford five-piece could so easily have rested on their laurels and simply churned out the likes of Karma Police and Street Spirit for guaranteed festival singalongs until they hit retirement age.
But they didn't. Instead - alongside the inevitable indie classics - you can expect to see Jonny Greenwood rocking out with a modular synthesizer as they break out the off-kilter rave-up of Idioteque, or the whole front line pounding percussion through There, There. And then there's Thom Yorke's dancing…
Bon Jovi
We defy anyone, in any UK city, town or village, to go out on a Saturday night without hearing Living On A Prayer at least twice. Now imagine that all-consuming, fist-pumping moment on a sticky floor translated to a stadium fronted by a stage of '80s heart-throbs. Yes, "wowowowowow", through a voice box, for real.
Bon Jovi's The Circle Tour was the biggest of 2010, and this year's mammoth Open Air Tour is even more extensive. Fists, headbands and lighters, erm… 'Always' at the ready. Sorry.
Roger Waters
Pink Floyd might no longer be functioning as a complete unit, but Waters' creative energy continues to flow.
He's currently touring with The Wall Live - a worldwide jaunt that sees the bassist and his band performing the album of the same name in its entirety - and at the O2 Arena in London in May, even managed to coax David Gilmour and Nick Mason onto the stage to help him out.
Foo Fighters
When Dave Grohl released a cassette-only album of his own material in 1992, he could never have imagined what the future held for him.
With the possible exception of Phil Collins, nobody in rock history has stepped out from behind the drum kit to become a frontman with such staggering success. By the way, in case you were wondering, Phil didn't make this list. We informed him by fax.
Last time MusicRadar caught German metallers Rammstein's tongue-in-cheek live show, bassist Ollie Riedel was crowd-surfing in a life raft while lead singer Till Lindemann chased keyboard player Flake around the stage with a giant, flame-throwing, phallic butcher's knife before pretending to cook him in a giant cauldron.
And then the stage caught fire. Who's going to argue with that?
By the time U2 complete their current 360 tour in July, via Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage on Friday, they'll have smashed all previous records for tour attendance and revenue.
The Rolling Stones' previous high scores of 6.3 million tickets sold and $558 million taken will be knocked into a cocked, diamond-encrusted hat by U2's earnings from 7 million paying punters. Presumably, they're doing something right.
Prince the recording artist may have been infuriatingly inconsistent for the past two decades, but his live performance credentials have rarely been called into question.
Whether leading his band, playing multiple instruments or dancing the heels off his shoes, Prince does it with consummate skill. He's the highest placed solo artist on this list, and deservedly so.
From Bay Area thrash metal upstarts to MTV-straddling hard rock megastars, Metallica have always been ferocious live proposition, thanks in no small part to James Hetfield's jackhammer right hand - certainly much more metronomic than Lars Ulrich's drumming - and planet-sized leonine roar.
AC/DC's last live jaunt, the Black Ice tour, wrapped up in 2010 after, let's face it, rocking 5 million punters in a mammoth two-year slog around 29 countries.
The band are reportedly due back in the studio next January and Angus Young is already planning for the next tour: "Now we're thinking 'How can we ever better the Black Ice world tour?' But we will."
When they took their 2009 album The Resistance on tour, Teignmouth's leading Ufologists deployed hydraulic tower blocks and flying saucers to jaw-dropping effect, but last year's relatively pared-down Glastonbury production proved that they're by no means reliant on their supersize props.
Don't expect a low-key, intimate experience if you're lucky enough to catch them at Reading/Leeds in August, however.
Dream Theater
Perennial MusicRadar poll contenders Dream Theater settle for a respectable top 10 placing this time out.
Find out what the future holds for the progressive metal outfit in our recent interview with John Petrucci and Jordan Rudess.
Porcupine Tree
Psychedelic prog troopers Porcupine Tree are currently taking their mammoth The Incident tour through the US, before returning to Europe this Autumn.
Find out what frontman Steven Wilson had to say when we caught up with him in late 2010.
Guns N' Roses
Although we'd struggle to pick some of the members out of a police line-up these days, there's no denying that when the Guns N' Roses circus comes to town, all eyes and ears are fixated on it.
Axl might not show, there might be a riot, but hey... rock 'n' roll is supposed to be dangerous, right?
Iron Maiden
Sadly there are no bonus points for having a gigantic monster onstage, but you'd really have to go some to pip Maiden to the post when it comes to the theatrics and intensity of a full-on arena rock show.
England's heaviest export are still the kings when it comes to taking metal to the masses.
So there we have it. The greatest live act in the world today is a Canadian trio who have been taking their hugely popular brand of progressive rock on the road for nigh-on four decades.
Rush are still selling out arenas across the globe and anyone who attended the recent Time Machine shows in the UK will confirm that they were nothing short of captivating for three and a half hours. Geddy, Alex and Neil, we salute you. Here's why.

Initial Review, 10,000 Miles on Tires
Have 10,000 miles on these tires and they have been great. Had the LE2's on my last truck and they were great on the highway and around town, but believe it or not these ride much nicer on the highway and have a more quiet ride. I have not driven through snow yet, but have driven in some nasty rain storms where there were several inches of standing water on the roadways and these tires stuck to the road even through deep, muddy holes. On the highway they are responsive and smooth. Great tire. If they wear well and hold up through the winter I will definitely buy them again.

Agencies, vendors ramping up to fight supply chain cyber threats
Friday - 6/15/2012, 12:59pm EDT
By some estimates, 1 in 10 technology products or systems have counterfeit parts in them. There is no estimate for how many software programs have malicious codes embedded.
The examples of well-known and global vendors suffering holes in their supply chain and passing those problems to the government are growing. Take a recent federal law enforcement sting, called Operation Raider. Officials stopped a ring of counterfeit parts destined for the military supply chain that would have been used to track troop movements and maintain security for bases in Iraq.
Dell sells thousands of servers to the government, but it found one of its suppliers pre-installed malware on the motherboards in the machines. Dell ended up making 16 changes to its supply chain to protect its customers.
And these are just two examples. The Senate Armed Services released a report last month that showed over a two-year investigation more than 1,800 instances of parts that were likely counterfeit in the Defense Department's supply chain.
The increase of counterfeit technology products and software infected with harmful code has attracted the full attention of the government and its vendors.
But the problem is growing at such a fast rate that federal policy and laws aren't changing quickly enough to mitigate the risk to mission critical systems, whether they are Air Force planes or the basic routers that every agency uses to help Internet traffic flow more smoothly.
"One of the key things to remember here is that cyber supply chain risk management, the viewing of an end-to-end IT system as a supply chain with multiple actors is a very new phenomena," said Sandy Boyson, a professor at the University of Maryland and director of its supply chain management center, in an interview with Federal News Radio as part of its week long multimedia special report, Inside the World's Biggest Buyer.
Boyson led a study with the National Institute of Standards and Technology on how agencies and vendors can better secure their supply chains.
"Only 20 percent of the chips currently used in the U.S. are actually made in the United States," he said. "We've witnessed a very dramatic globalization of the information and communications technology supply chain in the last five or so years. This has created quite a challenge not only for the federal government to get a handle on, but also for industry to get a handle on."
Keeping pace with attacks is tough
Both the executive branch and Congress are trying to stem the tide of counterfeit products and malicious code in software through legislation and policy.
Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) authored a provision in the fiscal 2012 Defense Authorization requiring DoD to take specific steps to secure its supply chain. Levin, the chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said the investigation that led to the recent report shows counterfeit parts putting the nation's security in jeopardy. The report stated 70 percent of all counterfeit parts reviewed during the investigation came from China.

Frank Kendall, the under secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, issued a memo in March to implement the Defense Authorization bill's provisions.
The guidance highlights 10 steps the military must take to improve the security of their supply chain.
A DoD spokeswoman said in emailed responses to questions that the memo highlights "a risk-based approach to both stopping counterfeits and malicious code."
When it comes to counterfeits, the Pentagon must have confidence in the origin and integrity of system functions. If these systems fail, it would affect service members' safety or the military's mission success, the spokeswoman said.
When it comes to malware, the spokeswoman said, "Our risk management options here must include intelligence, engineering and procurement options. Still, there are some actions that address both counterfeit and malicious insertion concerns, such as increasing the transparency and control of the supply chain for mission- critical components."
Congress is getting more aggressive in its desire to root out supply chain vulnerabilities.
Reps. Frank Wolf (R-Va.) and Sue Myrick (R-N.C.) introduced a provision in the 2013 Intelligence Authorization bill to take the protection of the IT supply chain once step further.
The bill would require the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to identify foreign suppliers of IT that are linked directly or indirectly to foreign governments. ODNI also would assess the vulnerability of and the malicious activity on the U.S.'s telecommunications networks because of products potentially provided by these foreign companies.
More than just a DoD problem
But the threat of vulnerabilities in the supply chain is not just a DoD or intelligence community problem. Nearly every agency and IT vendor face some risk.
Victoria Espinel, the Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator in the White House, said the administration has actively pushed for better enforcement and protection against these cyber threats across all supply chains.
Espinel's office leads an interagency working group made up of 14 agencies, including DoD, NASA and the White House's National Security staff, to develop an anti-counterfeiting framework.
"It would be flexible enough to accommodate all the agencies, but will address some of the concerns that we've had about counterfeits coming in," she said. "The focus of that group is to really look at all the tools we have. We think we need better ones. We think we need to make changes. We will look at legislative change, regulatory change and to look at changes in our procurement policy, and make sure we have all the tools we need in order to minimize the risks to the security of the U.S. supply chain wherever we can."

Espinel said the working group's recommendations are "fairly far along," and could be completed and sent to the President in the coming months.
Some sources say President Obama may issue an executive order to implement the recommendations. Espinel would not comment on the likelihood of an executive order because the recommendations are not final.
But sources also say Kendall's memo is a precursor to what the rest of the government will have to do. DoD is requiring 10 steps the services and agencies must take to better protect the supply chain.
"The governmentwide recommendations are not final, but I can tell you that the requirements for DoD and the memo that came out of DoD are very much in line with the strategy that we've been developing and that in part reflects that DoD has been at the forefront of the working group," Espinel said. "We have been working with them very closely. So accordingly, several of the concepts that are described in the March DoD memo come out of the overall working group's efforts."
Among the steps Kendall is asking DoD agencies and services to take to better secure the supply chain are to require:
- The use of contracting clauses to ensure the supply of authentic products.
- Contractors and subcontractors to notify DoD program managers when they are
not buying from the original manufacturer or authorized distributor.
- Prompt reporting of counterfeit items in the DoD central reporting repository, the Government-Industry Data Exchange Program (GIDEP).
But concerns over the steps DoD, the White House and Congress are taking are growing among vendors.
Trey Hodgkins, senior vice president for National Security and Procurement Policy at TechAmerica, an industry association, said contractors would like to see more discussion from the White House and the working group.
"Industry doesn't really have significant insight into the specifics or intelligence the government has about risks in the supply chain," he said. "It's been very difficult for companies to try and assess their own supply chains and weed things out that are already known. And then the processes and practices the government is developing and putting together to try to address this and be more effective at managing their supply chain, they have largely been done, from the company's perspective, without industry input. We are concerned about some of the things we've heard and some of the things we've seen could be unexecutable."
Hodgkins said the administration only has had minimal discussions about the recommendations the workforce is developing.
In fact, should the requirements be so difficult to meet, Hodgkins said, companies may choose to drop out of the federal market instead of meeting the supply chain rules.
"Commercial companies will look at this and assess this in the context of a global business model and want to understand what does the U.S. government imposing a supply chain requirement mean when I need to sell in 40 other companies," he said. "Will other countries perceive those things as retaliations and require me to do something unique for their country too? They have a global perspective. There is a significant balancing act in this and we are still working through it."
But Espinel said her office and the working groups understand industry's concerns and that the recommendations will impact contractors in a big way.
"I think it's absolutely the case the private sector has a critical role to play here. That's undeniable and extremely important and that is why as we have been working on these recommendations we have been working quite closely with the private sector, including significant contractors, but also smaller businesses as well," Espinel said. "I'm very confident that we're going to be able to come up with an approach that gives us the tools that we need because clearly there is more that we need in our arsenal in order to attack this while not unduly burdening the private sector."
Bridging the gap between government, industry
NIST is trying to bridge these potential gaps between the government and industry. NIST recently released a second draft of a supply chain risk management framework.
Jon Boyens, an IT specialist in the computer security division at NIST, said this second draft is less prescriptive than the first one.
"We boiled down the 21 practices that were more perspective in telling the different roles how to do something, and raised them up a level to a more general approach to be more descriptive and less prescriptive, essentially what to do and not how to do it," Boyens said.
The guidance is designed to help agencies work with vendors to mitigate risks based on their system's security requirements.
Boyens said one key practice is to map the supply chain through its organizations, processes and elements.
"Every part of the supply chain where there is an entity that touches it or makes it to the elements or sub-elements is historically bona fide or put down in history so that you have the providence so you know where in the supply chain everything is done," he said.
Boyens said there is a lot of interest from agencies on the risk management framework. He said NIST would like to test out the some aspects of the guidance through a pilot program with an agency. NIST is looking for agency volunteers. The final guidance should be out in the next year.
"We stress in the document that agencies need help from industry partners to mitigate risks and is cost effective with the intent to enable the agencies to better manager supply chain risk that is commiserate to their system's cruciality," Boyens said. "We tell agencies to use the practices and provide us feedback on what's feasible, on what's cost effective and on what doesn't work."

A lovely, crisp scent! It's not cloyingly sweet, nor does it smell like a men's cologne, it's just clean and fresh, with floral notes. I wear it during the day, but one can wear this clean scent any time. I recommend this to any woman who likes clean scents!

I love this fragranace I bought it many years ago at kmart and my daughter asked for the bottle. I could not find it at the store so I looked on line so that I could buy me a bottle I bought one for her and me. I put it on to go to school and stopped to see my great aunt and one of her nurses said that I smelled good. I was happy. I cannot where scents that are loud I need sweet and fruty. I love the fragrance and scent. thanks

Whether they are on your cereal, in your smoothie or topping a salad, blueberries have become a popular addition to our diets.
Americans have more than doubled their blueberry intake in just 16 years, buying more than 853 million pounds of the superfood, according to a report from the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council.
That is good news for
"It's been a good time for us," said Cal Lewis, owner of Lewis Nursery & Farms in Rocky Point, where his family grows 350 acres of blueberries. "It's no secret that blueberry consumption has been rising consistently and planting has been rising with that demand."
Lewis credits several factors for the fruit's increasing appeal, including greater availability due to more adaptive plant varieties as well as popularity from being named a superfood.
Many point to research on the health benefits of blueberries for sparking publicity, especially when it was dubbed a superfood in a medical journal in the late 1990s. That has led to the blueberry becoming a celebrity of sorts on TV health segments, magazine features and wellness blogs.
A New York Times blog in January touted the blueberry's ability to possibly reduce heart attacks in women. Deepak Chopra tweeted about blueberries' health benefits in February to his 1.4 million Twitter followers. Dr. Oz often mentions them on his television show and recently recommended blueberries for lowering blood pressure.
So why all the buzz? Blueberries are rich in several nutritional must-haves – fiber, vitamin C, phytonutrients and manganese, according to the Blueberry Council. These qualities have been shown to aid heart health, the immune system, bone development, brain health, insulin responses and cancer risk reduction.
Because of the somewhat tricky conditions blueberries require to grow, most Americans got these nutritional benefits from other foods in the past. But with the cultivation of blueberry varieties such as highbush and rabbiteye from
And with
"We have enjoyed great success, and it looks like we have an excellent crop pending," Lewis said. He expects blueberries to be ready for picking around the second to third week in May. And in June, you can celebrate the blueberry at the 10th annual North Carolina Blueberry Festival in Burgaw.
The event is scheduled for June 15 at the
"Blueberries are easy to eat, and the concentration of vitamins and nutrients make them an attractive fruit," Lewis said. "Plus, adults and children love them."
By the numbers
State's top five blueberry-producing counties:
1. Bladen
2. Pender
3. Sampson
4. Duplin
The healthy berry
A few of the reasons why blueberries are the healthy berry:
Low in fat: Just 80 calories per cup and virtually no fat.
Full of fiber: A handful helps satisfy recommended daily intake, which keeps you regular, the heart healthy and cholesterol in check.
Packed with vitamin C: One serving delivers almost 25 percent of daily recommendation, which aids collagen formation, helps maintain healthy gums and capillaries and a healthy immune system.

It's about time! Our customers have been asking for a cold water wetsuit with a detachable hood for years and O'Neill has stepped up to the plate with the addition of the 5/4mm D'LUX MOD to their lineup. The advantage of this suit is that the hood seals into the suit via the modular collar, no more leaks like with a separate bibbed hood. When it's too warm for a hood, just zip it off and replace the standard collar.
The MOD is built of 100% superstretch neoprene that will gel to your body for maximum flexibility. The modular collar works with the sealed and taped seams and the wrist/ankle seals to keep frigid water from flushing the suit so you can stay out longer. This phenomenal wetsuit also features durable kneepads, a chafe resistant collar, and external key pocket.
O'Neill Wetsuits come with a 1 year warranty on materials and craftsmanship (90 days on accessories). You can help keep your wetsuit in great shape for years to come by always rinsing in fresh water and hanging to dry. A number of wetsuit care products can be found on our Wetsuit Accessories page.

GREENVILLE - Emergency personnel from Greenville Police and Fire Departments, Greenville Township Fire and Rescue and the Darke County Sheriff's Office responded to the 7000 block of State Route 121 on a report of a crash Monday afternoon.
According to a preliminary investigation, a female driver of a Mercury Sable claimed that she lost function of her brake as she was traveling northbound on State Route 121. She struck a maroon Buick Regal, headed eastbound on Kruckeburg Road, as her vehicle traveled through the stoplight.
The female driver of the Mercury was still unable to come to a stop before traveling nearly 100 yards. She then decided to turn off her engine which caused her to lose steering. The car went off the roadway and came to rest in a drainage ditch.
The female and the male driver of the Regal were both not injured and refused treatment at the scene. The crash remains under investigation.

Key historical events date back to InterContinental heritage hotels. The Willard D.C. has been at the centre of political life in Washington since 1818. The first example of the Grand Hotel, Amstel Amsterdam reflects palatial luxury on Amstel River. Located in the 9th arrondissement, Paris Le Grand is a stunning example of Napoleon's love of grandeur. Wherever you travel, there's a story to tell.
There are two airports serving Paris - Charles de Gaulle and Orly. From both airports we recommend that you take a car - either a taxi or the limousine service, particularly if you have a large amount of luggage. A taxi from Paris, Charles de Gaulle airport will cost approximately € 60,00 and from Paris, Orly will cost approximately € 50,00. The limousine service can be arranged in advance by calling the concierge. This cost is € 185,00 up to € 270,00 according to the car type. If you are travelling light you may wish to take public transport. From Paris, Charles de Gaulle you may take the direct bus to the Opera, which is next to the hotel. This is called the Roissy bus and costs € 9.10 per person. However, with a 200 metre walk when you arrive at the Opera, we advise against this option if you have heavy bags.

linezolid - oral, Zyvox
GENERIC NAME: LINEZOLID - ORAL (lin-AYZ-oh-lid)
BRAND NAME(S): Zyvox
Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
USES: Linezolid is an antibiotic used to treat certain serious bacterial infections that have not responded to other antibiotics (resistant infections). It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.This antibiotic treats only bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections (e.g., common cold, flu). Unnecessary use or overuse of any antibiotic can lead to its decreased effectiveness.
HOW TO USE: Take this medication by mouth with or without food, usually every 12 hours or as directed by your doctor.The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to therapy. In children, the dosage may also be based on weight, and they may be directed to take this medication every 8 hours.Linezolid is related to a group of drugs called MAO inhibitors.
