-- Swire Pacific's 2011 net profit fell 16% due to weak performance of Cathay Pacific on the back of rising fuel costs and lower freight services demand
-- Chairman Christopher Pratt said the company expects office rentals to be affected by uncertain market conditions
-- Pratt said retail rentals will remain strong in China because of robust consumption growth
(Adds Chairman's comments on company outlook in the 3rd and 4th paragraphs; underlying profit breakdown in the 6th to 8th paragraphs.)
HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- Blue-chip conglomerate Swire Pacific Ltd. 0019.HK said Thursday its 2011 net profit fell 16%, dragged by weak performance of its affiliate Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. (0293.HK) due to rising fuel cost and a drop in demand for its freight services.
The company, whose operations include aviation, beverages and Swire Properties Ltd. 1972.HK, which it spun off in a Hong Kong listing in January, said its net profit for the year ended Dec. 31 dropped to HK$32.21 billion from HK$38.25 billion a year earlier.
"Demand for the group's office space in Hong Kong is likely to be affected by uncertain market conditions. Low vacancy rates and the fact that supply of new office space will be modest should mitigate the effect on rental income," Chairman Christopher Pratt said in a statement.
Pratt said that retail rentals in mainland China are expected to remain strong this year due to the robust consumption growth in China.
Underlying profit was up 7.1% to HK$17.29 billion from HK$16.14 billion in the previous year.
The underlying profit from the group's property division more than doubled to HK$12.67 billion, mainly due to the sale of Festival Walk, a shopping and commercial complex in Kowloon, to Singapore-based Mapletree Investment Pte. Ltd, which generated a profit of HK$8.62 billion.
Attributable profit of aviation operations fell to HK$3 billion from HK$8.90 billion a year earlier. The company said that the business of Cathay Pacific was materially affected by uncertainty in the world's major economies, the natural disasters in Japan and Thailand, and the political situation in the Middle East and high jet fuel prices.
The beverage division recorded an attributable profit of HK$588 million, down 16% from 2010 due to a HK$69 million loss incurred by the newly formed Campbell Swire joint venture and rising raw material costs.
Revenue for 2011 rose 24% to HK$36.29 billion from HK$29.20 billion.
The company recommended a final dividend of HK$2.35 per A share, down from HK$2.50 the previous year. Its final dividend per B share was HK$0.47 a share, down from HK$0.50 a share.

OUR early ancestors had the edge over us when it came to efficient walking. An anthropologist in Washington state has modelled the action of an australopithecine, one of the ape-like hominids that preceded the genus

Understanding Your Investment
In a "Moneyball" world, every General Manager and Head Coach is parsing the same data set. Where's the competitive advantage? It lies in finally capturing and quantifying not just the physical attributes like height, weight and speed, but also the otherwise intangible essential: the heart of a champion. Great athletes are motivated, resilient and coachable - traits rooted in a player's emotional DNA. With facial coding, it becomes possible to grasp who a player really is - over and above the often canned responses given by athletes in sit-down interviews.
Whether in pre-draft interviews, during trial work-outs or to aid in a player's emotional development once selected for a team, facial coding can provide crucial guidance. Don't get caught drafting or trading for a player whose physical skills overshadow character issues that will derail your championship drive.

I will post the entire article from now on however for those who do not want to take the time.
Sanderson has Lions cooking on the mat
A few thoughts, while wondering if the snow will be gone before May:
Many years ago, a former college wrestling coach was asked about how his team would do that season. His blunt response — put in a little kinder language here — came in cooking terms and that how it would be difficult, given his team's current ingredients, to make chicken salad. I think most of you get the drift here.
Well, Cael Sanderson must have gone to a different culinary school. The first-year <st1>State</st1> wrestling coach is on par with Emeril Lagasse or Bobby Flay. Sanderson's No. 10 Nittany Lions concluded their regular season last night with a 26-16 loss to <st1:state u4:st="on"><st1>Minnesota</st1> enter the postseason after a 13-6-1 dual meet record and a 5-3 mark in the Big Ten.
The final numbers are very palatable, considering some of the ingredients Sanderson has used and some that are missing. <st1>PSU has won consistently, despite having several wrestlers who were decided underdogs no matter who the Nittany Lions were facing. There's little argument that this team is wrestling better than expected. Sanderson and his staff have helped turn David Erwin (No. 10) and Adam Lynch (No. 20) into nationally ranked wrestlers. The Nittany Lions have also fared well, despite having talented freshmen David Taylor, Jake Kemerer and Ed Ruth redshirting, along with former Bald Eagle Area standout Quentin Wright, who finished sixth in the NCAAs as a freshman last season.
This year's overachieving team has wrestling fans salivating over what Sanderson can cook up in the future. With a talented incoming freshman class, featuring<st1><st1><st1> Central</st1></st1><st1> Mountain</st1></st1></st1> twins Andrew and Dylan Alton, the future looks appetizing.
The wrestling success could cause <st1><st1><st1>Penn</st1></st1><st1> State</st1></st1> one problem. While Rec Hall has been adequate in the past, it's hard to imagine it will suffice for the demand for future home matches against powers like <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:state u4:st="on">Iowa</st1:state></st1:state> and <st1:state w:st="on"><st1><st1>Minnesota</st1></st1></st1:state></st1:state>. Even with a relatively lightweight home schedule this season, fans packed Rec Hall. Some of that has to do with Sanderson himself, since the coach is one of the top two greatest names in amateur wrestling history, but everything points to his team being a major NCAA contender for many years to come.
<o>On several occasions, the wrestling team has outdrawn the school's basketball teams (if you count actual bodies at the <st1><st1><st1>Bryce</st1></st1><st1> Jordan</st1></st1><st1> Center</st1></o>).<st1><st1>Penn</st1></st1><st1> State</st1> should start thinking about moving high-profile wrestling matches to the <st1><st1><st1>Jordan</st1></st1><st1> Center</st1></st1>. If not, those <st1><st1><st1>PSU-Ohio</st1></st1><st1> State</st1></st1> wrestling tickets may become just as tough to get as ones for a football game between the two schools

Nate Morgan caps perfect season with Nebraska State meet gold medal
Morgan said he will begin concentrating on college. He wants to wrestle in college, possibly at Big 10 Conference powerhouse. The Nittany Lions are coached by former Iowa State standout Cael Sanderson. Nate said he has a friendly relationship with Penn State assistant coach Casey Cunningham.
"I don't know how it gets much better than Penn State, except the fact that it's so far away," he said. "I still need to visit some more colleges to be able to make my decision for sure."
With Sanderson taking over the Penn State program, Morgan labeled the Nittany Lions as an "upcoming number-one program."
Bison senior has gold-medal mat dreams
Morgan has NCAA Division I aspirations. He has visited Big 10 Conference power Penn State and has contacted Missouri of the Big 12 Conference. He said the home-state Huskers are a possibility, although he hasn't had contact with the NU coaches.
"Maybe," he said about Nebraska, "But I would kind of like to go somewhere else, experience something else."

Friday Five-RnR NOLA Marathon Edition
Whoa, it's been a week since I updated. We were out of school Tuesday and Wednesday due to the weather and then my poor husband was ill today so there wasn't a lot going on here. I really wanted to post a special Rock n Roll edition and link up with Cynthia at You Signed Up for What?!, since the New Orleans half and marathon are this weekend and so many blogger runners will be hitting my town. So here are my top personal five recommendations to do while you are in New Orleans.
1. Wander Uptown on foot: I'm talking a few blocks behind Magazine St, maybe after a little shopping at Fleurty Girl or Storyville. You will see street after street of classic New Orleans shotguns and Creole cottages. As long as I live in this city, I will be amazed at its architecture and its residents reverence towards it. We take pride in living in, caring for, and restoring their homes.
2. Ride the RED streetcar: Being the Mid City folk that we are, we are partial the red line. It's air conditioned after all. You can start in the French Quarter and take it the entire way down Canal St. towards City Park.
3. Eat some King Cake: Not some grocery store brand they might serve at the finish line of the race. Go to Sucre, Haydel's, Randazzo's, Cake Cafe,or even Tastee Donuts (although you will want to ask for the McKenzie king cake) and eat a serious New Orleans treat.
4. Take in a show: Of course, there are tons of great places to see live music and hang out (our favorites: Bayou Beer Garden or Finn McCool's in Mid City, dba on Frenchman, Preservation Hall in the French Quarter or even the newly renovated gorgeous Saenger for theater) but I'm talking about an old school picture show. The Prytania Theater is in a beautiful Uptown neighborhood and it's a one screen movie theater, the last in New Orleans. They are currently showing lots of Oscar nominated films. Curling up with an ice pack and a latte or gelato in the balcony sounds like a great post race recovery activity.
5. Have a great race! Running in New Orleans is my favorite thing to do and The Rock N Roll course is known for being flat and fast. The weather should be beautiful. Enjoy. Special shout outs to Running for Bling, Krissy Runs, all the Steel MagNOLAs racing, and Coach Mike. May you PR!
P.S. As I was finishing it, I actually couldn't stop thinking of things you should do while you are in town… get gelato at Angelo Brocato's, or fried chicken at Willie Mae's Scotch House, go the World War II Museum, see Mardi Gras World, and of course, if you've never done it, drink a hurricane at Pat O'Brien's and get beignets at Cafe du Monde. So please, come back and visit us again!
Posted on January 30, 2014, in Seen in New Orleans and tagged Friday Five, half marathon, marathon, NOLA love, Rock N Roll, tourism. Bookmark the permalink. 8 Comments.
Thanks for the shout out!! Looking forward to a (hopefully) great race and (hopefully) a new PR!! Fingers crossed! And this is a great list!
Awesome! I'm saving this post. I've only been to NOLA once and plan to go back sometime this year so I'll need ideas! now RnR NOLA is on my list :)

Water is often used in equestrian events as an obstacle for jumping, most notably in the cross-country phase of eventing, as well as in show jumping.
USEA rules state (2005) that water may be no more than 14" deep.
Water crossings often include a bank or, at higher levels, a drop fence into the water There may be a fence or a bank complex in the water , and a bank out , possibly to another fence. Water is often a challenge on the cross-country course, and there are usually several riders at the largest events who get "dunked" when they reach the obstacle
Water is also occasionally used in the show jumping arena. However, it is never meant to be run through but rather jumped over, and a foot in the water will count as a fault to the rider's score. There are two types of water jumps used in show jumping:

I went to look at the apartments at Benz Place and enjoyed their large spacious designs and decided a few days later to go and sign an application to rent an apartment.
Upon arriving I was greeted and given an application to complete for an apartment. While filling out SHARON (the horrible manager of this complex) pops out of her office and begins to give me the third degree. Telling me that she thinks I should leave because she wants to be sure my application is completed in full. Telling me she has NO idea whether or not there are any apartments of my specifications available. FINE, so I left.
I got back to work to check my schedule for the next day to see if I would be able to make it in to complete the application.
After realizing the day was jam packed with work items, I gave Sharon a call to let her know I would be stopping by after work today to complete the application---SHE told me to not come in cause she was having a case of the Mondays? and she would have no idea if an apartment was available until the next day. FINE,
The next day after work, I went in to complete my application for lease and I was greeted with this phrase "Oh hi, its you, come on in and have a seat, I was just about to leave." while SHARON rolled her eyes towards me. After sitting for about 2 seconds...i couldnt believe the way I was being treated so I told Sharon I wasnt interested in her apartment. She said FINE I dont want you to rent here.
THIS LADY IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE AND IS A BIG JOKE. THESE APARTMENTS ARE NOT WORTH THE HARASSMENT OF EVEN BEING ABLE TO RENT AN APARTMENT. I FEEL BAD FOR THE GIRL WHO WORKS FOR SHARON --I would go nuts.

Building a project car requires planning, foresight, and cash, but for Chris Coatney it went a bit further than that. It wasn't a matter of securing funds, it was a matter of time. Seven years back, he was diagnosed with lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system. Chris says: "Scared and not knowing what my future was going to be, I decided to make one of my biggest dreams a reality. I sold my Harley Road King Classic and used the money for the Bel Air project."
Having completed his chemo regimen, he was only one session away from his final radiation treatment. Then, as if on cue, the Bel Air appeared in Belmont, California. Chris picked it up, stopping on the way back for his final radiation session in Castro Valley, the car on the trailer in the parking lot. As he drove home, his dream project literally began.
"Unsure of how long I would live, I started planning the project in normal progression. My first scope of work was to do the bodywork and paint as well as installing the 400ci small-block that came with the car," Chris says. "I just wanted to be able to drive it before I died. After some time went by, I realized that I would be blessed and win my battle."
With his release from the blackness, the project took on a completely new agenda. Now the body would be separated from the frame to ease the installation of the new suspension system, larger brakes, narrowed rear axle, a fuel-injected big-block, mini-tubs, and deep wheels. "Using modern technology, paint colors, and materials I wanted to design a new look, but still retain that unique '50s style," Chris says.
The other side of the story is family steeped in Chevrolet hot rods, a large extended unit that has been working on and living with cars since before Chris was a tot. He was precocious and had been craving this '57 Bel Air since he was 7 years old. The immediate clan (including his wife, Janet, and their six children) also gathers Chris' older brothers, one with a '58 Corvette, the other with '69 big-block Chevelle, and twin nephews, '63 SS Nova and '65 SS Chevelle. He and one of his sons built the kid's '70 Chevelle six years ago. The kid drives it daily.
Though thoroughly outfitted as an exponent of Pro Touring, we wouldn't go so far as to call it that. There's much more to it. Witness the big-block motor rather than a Gen III or Gen IV LS construction. Rather than the usual safe and sane automatic transmission, Chris wigs out, dips a clutch pedal, and rows a six-speed. It has leather and ostrich upholstery, high-powered audio, and eight-way adjustable luxury import seats. All the original exterior trim is extant and is a wonderful reference to the cars of the time. Gun sights on the hood? Wing windows on the doors? Chromium? Chevrons and stainless and bullets on the bumper? All that and Chris can drop this dude flat on its face with one finger. That's technology you can't help but love.
"I have taken great pride in building my '57 and get a lot of enjoyment going to car shows with my kids, brothers, and nephews," Chris says. "The '57 means much more to me than money. It's a sign and proof of survival, dedication, and hard work. All of this could not have happened without my wife's love, patience, and willingness to make my dream become reality." Chris not only thrives, he operates Coatney's Customs in Pleasanton, California, as well.

Blantyre — British High Commissioner to Malawi Michael Nevin says donor contributions to Malawi electoral process need to be vastly reduced, saying elections are integral to a country's democracy and national standing and should be owned by the country rather than majority funded by donors.
Nevin said this in Lilongwe on Thursday during the elections review meeting organized by Malawi Electoral Support Network (Mesn).
He said Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) needs dedicated funding over a 5 year cycle, not just in the last months before an election as what happens in Malawi.
"There might also be consideration of MEC funding; it needs dedicated funding over a 5 year cycle, not just in the last months before an election.
"Donor contributions need to be vastly reduced; we resisted the then government's request for donors to fund the majority of elections. Elections are integral to a country's democracy and national standing, and should be owned by the country rather than mainly funded by donors. But to receive funding, MEC will need to ensure its financial management systems are robust and secure.
"There is much to learn from these elections and I encourage reform while that learning is still fresh in people's minds, perhaps consider investing in the 5 year elections cycle, rather than just the last few months leading up to an election.
"Ensure there is confidence that the leadership of MEC secretariat is competent and professional enough to deliver. The electoral law and regulations too could be reviewed quickly to remove the grey areas that can weaken the electoral process.
"Remember to strengthen legitimacy laws on party and campaign financing among others. And the low number of women elected to political office - for example, only 30 out of 192 MPs should be of concern to all," said Nevin
Nevin said in Malawi, It is not clear whether a voter votes for a candidate because of the candidate's personal qualities, or they are voting for a candidate because they belong to a particular party.
He added that in Malawi, Section 65 forbids floor-crossing, however in the previous parliament, and those before it, never implemented it saying this undermines the principle and primacy of the rule of law.
"So it is preferable perhaps that Section 65 is either fully adhered to avoid damaging the rule of law.
"The use of state resources, particularly for campaigning, could be more clearly defined. In the United Kingdom, government ministers have avoid use of any resource for party purposes, even switching from government cars to private cars when attending party events.
"This might go hand-in-hand with consideration of more transparency around party and candidate financing," he said.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsNews & Views
5.0 Buzz - March 2013
The latest rumblings in the Ford world
Paul Brown July 8, 1969–Oct. 13, 2012
By now the word is out that 2011 Grand Am champion Paul Brown died of melanoma last October. It's equally well-reported that Paul was the son of long-time Ford chassis-expert Kenny Brown, and that Paul was an exceptionally nice guy. Regular readers may also recall Paul graced our April 2012 cover when we compared his championship Boss 302S to the street-going Boss.
That's all true, but somehow simply reciting the facts leaves anyone who knew Paul Brown with more than the usual empty space that is left when a friend is no longer here. At just 43 years of age, Paul was taken painfully early, robbing him of many more laps and us the pleasure of watching his joy in driving them. For if nothing else, Paul loved to drive and compete wheel-to-wheel on a road course. He had a hunger for it few understand and even fewer satiate so fully.
Paul's appetite was bared to the world in 1993 when he first took a Mustang onto a professional race course. Though he was the son of an already famous Mustang builder, Paul was estranged from his father and bereft of any material advantage that may have given him. His early racing efforts were strictly his, pasted together with the spit and hope aspiring racers have always dragged around North America in a 24-foot trailer behind a tired pickup. At the time, his around-the-clock energy and equally boundless optimism seemed quaintly naïve, as if he should have known starry-eyed, 23-year-old privateers never make it far before burning out.
But Paul simply kept on burning. Working every minute of the way, he could measure success in top 10 finishes, while his HP Motorsport and other business ventures were good but not the stuff to easily write championship checks. There was nothing easy about it.
In the early 2000s, Paul took a pro-racing sabbatical, putting his creative fabrication talents on the market while keeping his racing hand by schooling NASA American Iron Extreme racers when possible. This led to an association with telecom mogul Tom Hollfelder and his impressive stable of blue-blood vintage racing cars. More importantly, in 2005, it also led to marriage with Tom's daughter Carol, a union as perfect as it was unconventional.
Carol, herself a World Challenge competitor, had been confined to a wheelchair from an equestrian accident for years before she met Paul, but it was never a handicap for Paul. He and Carol were an outstanding match, full of mutual support and affection, and blazing with the same racing fire. Together they built an outstanding car for Carol—featured in this magazine—before eventually concentrating on Paul's World Challenge ambitions.
Lest anyone think it was Tom's money that made the difference in Paul's racing success, it wasn't. There were side benefits from Tom's shop, where Paul kept his day job of prepping the vintage cars, but the racing was all on Paul and Carol. They were the ones arranging the sponsorship and paying the bills, and their championship success is all theirs. We doubt many appreciate their racing successes as much as Paul did.
By never giving up, Paul lived the dream for us kids who will never grow up. From struggling neophyte to his dominating 2011 championship, Paul raced a variety of outstanding cars at some of the world's greatest venues. Not many Mustang drivers can claim Ferrari 512 experience at Le Mans, for example, or time as a Morgan factory test driver. But even more telling, Paul never thought better of himself for it, and we expect many of his competitors never realized the breadth of his experience because he didn't wear it like a medal.
Ultimately, Paul's greatest accomplishments are not winning races or building incredibly crafty hand-controlled, paddle-shift Mustangs with Ford. His legacy is his balance of on-track ferocity and in-the-garage encouragement. Paul burned to win but was just as apt to help others. His pit was always a haven of fellowship, food, and drink, and his friendships were many and deep. His love of the sport lives on in the many he tutored and the energy he spent freely with others-and always with a champion's character. We saw Paul frustrated many times, but never angry. He met racing's never-ending obstacles with craft and determination.
We're happy for Paul on several counts. First for his marriage; second, in his pre-championship reconciliation with his dad; and third for his focus, determination, and ultimate victory. We're happy to have known him, and sad for Carol, Kenny, and all his family and friends for the void left behind.-Tom Wilson

May 19, 1945 – March 2, 2012
Louis Reyes Rivera died late Friday night. A powerful voice of jazz and poetry has gone silent. He was clearly one of the favorite sons of Mother Jazz.
To Louis we say, as he often said to us, "Later."
Larry Goldbetter, President
National Writers Union
Here is one example of his powerful work. Bullet Cry
And another: African Voices Nancy Wilson 1.mp4
From the New York Chapter NWU website:
Louis Reyes Rivera
Poet, essayist, editor, teacher, radio host, and union organizer with the National Writer Union, UAW Local 1981, Louis Reyes Rivera died in Brooklyn Hospital on Friday, March 2, following a brief illness. Serving as chair of the New York Chapter since 2004, Rivera was revered and beloved by all NWU members who saw him in action in New York and at Delegate Assemblies, providing leadership on union issues and performing his insightful poetry.
Calling himself the Janitor of History, Rivera is viewed as a living bridge between the African and Latino-American communities. Also called "the dean of Nuyorica Poetica," he is an internationally recognized literary figure, with translations of his work appearing in Russian, Latvian, Spanish, and Italian. Rivera published four books, including Who Pays The Cost (1978), This One For You (1983), In Control of English (1988 and 1992), and Scattered Scripture (1996), for which he received the 1997 poetry award from the Latin American Writers Institute. He had just completed his epic poem, Jazz in Jail, and was in the process of preparing it for publication.
Rivera was the recipient of dozens of awards, including a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship (2003), a Lifetime Achievement Award (1995), a Special Congressional Recognition Award (1988), and the CCNY 125th Anniversary Medal (1973) -- each of which was given in recognition of his scholarship and impact on contemporary literature. Since 1996, Rivera appeared at jazz festivals and clubs, working with such bands as The Sun Ra All-Stars Project, Ahmed Abdullah's Diaspora, Ebonic Tones, the James Spaulding Ensemble, and his own band, The Jazzoets. Last spring Rivera was inducted into the Brooklyn Jazz Hall of Fame. At his last public appearance on Feb. 11, Rivera was the featured poet at the American Jazz Museum's Black History Month Salute to Jazz Poetry in Kansas City, Mo.
Over the past 40 years, Rivera assisted in the publication of well over 200 books, including Adal Maldonado's Portraits of the Puerto Rican Experience (IPRUS, 1984), John Oliver Killens' Great Black Russian (Wayne State, 1989), Bum Rush the Page: A Def Poetry Jam (Crown, 2001), co-edited with Tony Medina, and The Bandana Republic (Soft Skull Press, 2008). Rivera's essays and poems appeared in numerous publications, including Areyto, Boletin (Center for Puerto Rican Studies at Hunter), The City Sun, African Voices, and in several award-winning book collections, including In Defense of Mumia; ALOUD: Live from the Nuyorican Poets Cafe; and Of Sons and Lovers. He also appeared on the Peabody award-winning HBO show, "Def Poetry Jam." Rivera completed the translation of Clemente Soto Veléz's Caballo de Palo/Broomstick Stallion and worked on the collected poems of Otto Rene Castillo of Guatemala, Por el Bien de Todos/For the Good of All.
Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on May 19, 1945, Rivera was raised there and a proud graduate of Boys High. He began studying the craft of writing in1960 and founded the continuing student publication, The Paper, at City College of New York. After graduation in 1969, Rivera started teaching and his influence as a teacher spanned many generations. He distinguished himself as a professor of creative writing, Pan-African literature, African-American culture and history, Caribbean history, Puerto Rican history, and Nuyorican literature at such institutions as State University of New York-Stony Brook, Hunter College, College of New Rochelle, LaGuardia College, Pratt Institute, and Boricua College, among others.
For 15 years beginning in 1996, Rivera hosted a reading series in Brooklyn, 1st & 3rd Sundays Jazzoetry & Open Mic @ Sistas' Place, where he also conducted writing workshops. For many years Rivera hosted the engaging radio talk and interview show, "Perspectives," on New York radio station WBAI 99.5 FM (streamed at wbai.org/ archives).
A political activist as well as a cultural icon, Rivera was active in the successful struggle for "open enrollment" at City College in1969. Since then he has participated in many progressive movement and activities, including supporting the establishment of the Freedom Party, which ran candidates in the 2010 New York State election. Rivera co-hosted two Writers for Mumia programs dedicated to freeing longtime political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal, one in 2007, the other in 2010.
Rivera is survived by his wife, Barbara Killens Rivera; two daughters, Abiba Deceus and Kutisha Booker; son Barra Wyn ; and four grandchildren, James Booker, Akalia Booker, Quamey Venable, and Jean-Oliver Deceus. Funeral arrangements are being made, and will be announced in the near future.

I'm not sure why people are trying to change this. This looks worse. There is nothing wrong with how the start screen functions now. Removing the background only makes it harder to see. Regardless of anything, changing it to see the desktop while you use it still makes it function in the same manner and does not change how it's used.

As a Qualified Security Assessor (QSA), Dell SecureWorks conducts many consulting engagements each year with merchants that need help meeting the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). One of the areas customers often ask for guidance on is Requirement 8.3, which specifies that merchants must use two-factor authentication for providing remote access to their network.
The requirement states that organizations must "incorporate two-factor authentication for remote access (network-level access originating from outside the network) to the network by employees, administrators, and third parties." The objective of this requirement – and of other line item requirements in section 8 – is to ensure that merchants implement strong access control measures so that authorized individuals with network and computer access can be monitored and traced.
While Requirement 8.3 seems fairly clear, merchants are often unsure how to best address it. Questions are usually centered on one of two areas: what is two-factor authentication, and when does it have to be deployed in relation to PCI standards?
What is Two-Factor Authentication?
Two-factor authentication is the combination of at least two different validation methods during any single authentication request. All authentication methods are based around one of three basic types of authentication identifiers: something you know, something you have, and something you are. "Something you know" is a knowledge-based identifier, most commonly represented as a password or passphrase. "Something you have" is most commonly represented as a token or smart card based identifier. "Something you are" is most commonly represented as a biometric identifier, such as a fingerprint, or other unique physical attribute.
By combining any two of the three authentication identifiers during a single authentication request, the authentication function is strengthened dramatically, and represents a true two-factor authentication mechanism. One thing to remember about two-factor authentication is that its strength is greater than the sum of its individual parts. Any single-factor authentication mechanism may be attacked directly. The combination of both factors requires an attacker to apply two distinctly different attack vectors to attack the authentication mechanism.
When is Two-Factor Authentication Required?
All remote access to the PCI network must utilize two-factor authentication. In simple terms, remote access can be interpreted as any connection or access that crosses public networks. If any of the networks between the access source and Cardholder Data Environment (CDE) are considered to be public, or owned and operated by another entity, then the access should be considered remote. Virtual Private Networks (VPN) technologies create some interesting exceptions, as they effectively cause remote networks to behave like local networks.
For the purposes of requirement 8.3, point-to-point VPN technologies can be considered local network access, and Remote Access (RA) or client VPN technologies should be considered as remote. In both cases, you may need additional review to ensure that the controls adequately meet the intent of the requirement to utilize two-factor authentication for remote access to the CDE.
Common Misconceptions
One common misconception of Requirement 8.3 can be seen with the interpretation and definition of the term two-factor authentication. Some organizations interpret two-factor authentication to mean two authentication identifiers applied individually to two different authentication requests. In these cases, each authentication request only utilizes a single authentication identifier. Two single-factor authentication steps do not equal two-factor authentication.
Another common misconception is that Requirement 8.3 includes all access to the CDE, not just remote access. In these cases, organizations may deploy two-factor authentication mechanisms to authenticate access requests from all connected networks, including those that are locally connected. Although this is above and beyond the intent of requirement 8.3, this may improve and further secure access into the CDE.
Though adding additional authentication steps may improve the overall security of the remote access mechanisms, the improvement does not equal the improved security of a true two-factor authentication mechanism. The intent of requirement 8.3 is to ensure that two authentication identifiers are used within a single authentication request.
Lessons Learned
This is just one example of why merchants often find it challenging to understand and meet the PCI compliance requirements. When you consider that there are more than 200 line item requirements within PCI DSS 2.0, you can see why it can take months, if not years, to become PCI compliant, and why an ongoing PCI maintenance program makes sense. It's also important to understand the intent of the requirements and how they impact your environment. An experienced QSA can help you navigate the finer points of PCI compliance to address them securely and efficiently.

Could Robert Pattinson Play Finnick in The Hunger Games? His Agent's Harsh Response
The Hunger Games is just months away from filming its sequel, Catching Fire, and there's already one question the fans can't stop asking: Who will play the role of Finnick Odair?
Finnick, who makes his first appearance in Catching Fire, is a previous Hunger Games champion. Now 24 years old, the golden-haired dreamboat must re-enter the ring and take on Katniss, Peeta, and the other champions in the Capitol's first all-stars competition, known as the Quarter Quell.
With his devilish good looks and muscular physique, Finnick is loved and adored by pretty much all the ladies. So which Hollywood hunk will ultimately end up playing the shameless flirt?
We don't know yet, but one thing's for sure: It won't be Robert Pattinson.
The Twilight heartthrob has read reports claiming he's in consideration for the role, but he tells USA Today that his agent has been quick to shoot down any such rumors.
"I woke up this morning and saw all these things about me being cast in The Hunger Games," Robert tells the paper. "I was kind of curious for a second. So I called my agent."
The response? "My agent was like, 'No,'" Robert says. "[My agent] was like no one's going to offer you that part," he adds, laughing. "I was like, thanks for the reassurance."
We love R-Patz — but we're not sure he'd be the best fit for Finnick. Need a character who is dark and mysterious? Robert's got that covered. But a macho, super-flirty guy with a Greek god persona? That doesn't really seem like him.
Either way, getting turned down for Finnick probably isn't helping with Robert's insecurity over his lack of abs. Ouch.

Our Adult Only Vacation to Cozumel
I still wake up every morning and ponder how I can lay in that hammock…in the sun…on the beach. I want to go back.
ESPECIALLY when my wake up call is a toddler who needs me to get him apple juice, a hot dog and a new diaper at 6:00 am sharp. #mylife
When my husband originally approached me about going on an "adult only" trip… I didn't respond how you might think.
I was hesitant and iffy. I told him that I didn't think we could leave the kids for more than an extended weekend. In fact, I think I said 3 days tops.
Somehow he convinced me to go 5 days. And that was a S-T-R-E-T-C-H for me. I remember trying to convince him that his mom wouldn't want to watch our kids for more than a week. That worked for a good hot second until she text him and said we should take an extended 2 week vacation. WHAT???
Who volunteers to watch your kids for 2 weeks? No one. She is a saint.
Needless to say I couldn't get my mommy mind to fathom being gone longer than a 5 day period.
So the hubs took my 5 day offer and we booked our trip to Secrets Aura in Cozumel, Mexico.
Huge thanks to Trisha from A Love For Travel who hooked us up with a GREAT deal.
We did things like sleep in till 9am, lay on the beach with our eyes CLOSED, play beach volleyball, drink fruity drinks before noon, parasail, meet new friends, and…best of all? We did it just the two of us.
No kid hanging on my leg. No little boys wrestling while we tried to eat dinner. No dealing with children peeing their pants. Or punching each other. Or refusing to go to sleep at night.
Last time I had been to the ocean I was busy trying to make sure my 3 children didn't drown. And that's a big feat at the ocean.
Laying on the beach without kids is WAY less stressful and highly recommend you experience it at least once in your lifetime.
We even ran into some folks from North Dakota who knew my cousin. #smallworld
They were dressed in their cowboy attire laying by the pool.
And this guy's wife was obsessed with Jeff. She came up and asked if he could take off his shirt and get a picture with her and her friend.
Ummmm, so funny.
I'm pretty sure no guys were asking me to go topless and take a pic. I feel less cool than him. Either that or less hot.
Overall we had a MUCH needed break from the crazies (who were in amazing hands with his mom and my mom).
The last day before we left Jeff took some beach photos for me so I could update my blog pics. I'm pretty sure everyone on the beach thought we were weirdos during our 45 minute photo shoot that included my husband rolling in the sand to "get the right angle". He was acting like a professional photographer.
But I must say, he did a great job.
I'm already planning next years getaway in my head. Another beach. Another ocean. Another swim up pool in our room.
Except this time…I'm going for 7 days. Mark my words husband.

We're going for 7 days too, and I'm so glad that you said you were hesitant, because I have been and have felt so weird for feeling that way. But it's my first time to leave my kids for more than a day. This post made me a bit excited about going for 7 days though! I can't wait!
Lindsey´s last blog post ..The MidWest. AKA the Frozen Tundra.
Ahh, I knew I recognized that beach!! What did you guys think, was it up to the 'Secrets Standard'?

Brrr!!

Ok, anyways, I love your blog. You and your hubby are so cute together! My husband and I are headed to Mexico for a week in March! Our 3rd tropical vacay since we were married. Isn't it awesome!?! Just wanted to let you know how awesome you look for a momma of three. I have a three year old boy and he keeps me busy enough! You have inspired me to try blogging, hopefully soon to start.
This trip looks ahhh-mazing!! You both look great! It looks like it was a great time to get away, relax, and be refreshed. (Also, I totally respect that you don't wear "mom shorts". You are rocking it!)
I say this in best complimentary way I can…you make me feel normal rather than less worthy. I love how real your blog always is. And I love these pictures from your trip!! It's got me dreaming of being on a beach somewhere.

Anyways, I love your blog and those pics are amazing! You and the hubby are so cute together! My hubby and I head to Mexico later this spring! Cannot wait!

Ok, so I posted twice! It didn't post earlier, so I typed it agin!
Your vacay looks AMAZING and you are rocking that bikini! I'm requesting a workout post from you-especially whatever you do for those abs Thanks in advance!
Sarah Jacobs´s last blog post ..The Blizzard of 2014
Love your blog… you are gorgeous!!!
Three things…
1. I am so jealous of you
2. I want your mother in law
3. Does she give classes on how to make grandparents volunteer to watch kids while their deserving parents take vacations???
Looks like you had a FABULOUS time!!!
First off, I'm from ND!! Born and raised!! Wheres your cousin from? Chances are I've heard of them or know them, it really is a small world around here. My husband and I took our first adult, beach vacay last November and now that's all I can think about!!! I'm just a little tired of the cold and snow and seeing your pics now has me convinced I need to go!
Great photos! We went to Mexico in 2012 for our 15th year anniversary. It was the first time we'd been away from our kids in 9 years for more than a night or two. It was so great! We need to plan another trip soon.
Loved the pics! What a great time you guys had! For Christmas I bought my husband and I tickets for 6 days to Hawaii, well wouldn't you know – he opens the card and says we've got to bring our 2 boys with…. soooo after us both feeling guilty about having grandparents watch them – I ended up quickly buying them tickets as well and now I'm 2nd guessing that after seeing your pics – ugh! Adult couple time is a must and sooooo refreshing! Anyway please also share your workout tips and what you do! You look fantastic
It's my first time to comment on your blog. Your vacation reminds me of our honeymoon vacation in the Mexican Riviera at Secrets Maroma resort. It's been three years since we had such a nice vacation as that. The last two years we've been busy with our house and have had no budget for an extravagant vacation. I've been enjoying decorating our house and reading your blog inspires me more. Now reading about your trip makes me miss that part of my life. You also look great and fit for having three boys. How do you ever find the time to exercise?
looks like you guys had an AMAZING time!!!
a girlfriend and i just went on a three day trip to the dominican republic….best decision ever! especially with this nasty weather we've had lately! luckily, STL miraculously has DIRECT flights there! mexico looks amazing! might be a next travel spot!
Looks like you had a blast, hubby and I are cheating this year and bringing a toddler on our cruise vacay… Luckily they have a drop-off nursery on board! 😉 I would looove to know where you got your cute suit!
[…] Our Adult-Only Vacation to Cozumel […]
Looks like you two had a blast! The beach sounds sooo nice right now, especially in this rainy SF weather.
Lisa E. @ Lisa Vs. The Loans´s last blog post ..Links Lisa Likes – A Week Off
What an amazing vacation get away! And your photos tell the story of your time there so well. I love the photos of you parasailing together. My husband and I are going to Cozumel in 1 short week and this post has me even more excited than before!! Did you take a DSLR camera? Who took the shots while you were parasailing? Contemplating if I should take my nice camera or just use my P&S and phone camera on the trip. I would love to hear what you used to get your great photos. Thanks

The death of Chicago reporter and MLB historian Jerome Holtzman at age 80 capped a really hard week for the baseball-writers community. Holtzman's death followed those of New York's Red Foley, Houston's Neil Hohlfeld and our own Matt McHale.
How long was Jerome Holtzman an influential baseball writer? The story goes that toward the end of Jerome's newspaper career, a boss suggested he freshen up his writing. The boss said Jerome's style had become old-fashioned, with too many old baseball cliches.
"But," Jerome protested, "they're my cliches! I invented them!"
That's the trouble with being oft-imitated.

Telavivian is an online magazine, which features fashion, music, food, art, design, architecture, graphic design and nightlife. We have gathered the most interesting people Tel Aviv has to offer and placed them all under one roof, bringing lifestyle and culture together with personal thoughts. Our focus is not to create an informative city guide, but rather to build on genuine material of the everyday Tel Aviv lifestyle.
Telavivian aims to capture the detailed features, unique character, and the colorful surroundings of Tel Aviv in order to reflect what is seen through the eyes of the individual contributor. Our team consists of prominent journalists, photographers, stylists, and artists from magazines and newspapers such as Haaretz, Time-Out, ELLE and Maariv. Our contributors include Eyal De Leeuw, Roza Sinaysky, David Pearl, Merav Ben Loulou, Francesca Kletz, Dalit Nemirovsky, Emmy Shahar, Salome Fakiel, Guy Yanai, Itay Blaish, Yael Engelhart, Goni Riskin, Nurit Koniak, Asaf Einy, Nadav Fink and Sarit Goffen.
Based in Tel Aviv and Stockholm, Telavivian was launched on August 1, 2012. This unique online magazine was founded by Anna Kopito, Eva Kopito and Anna Lindahl, whom all shared a desire to create a space exposing their interest and curiosity for Tel Aviv and its citizens. The idea was to create a platform to spread the word about the city's creative minds. Therefore, Telavivian's family of contributors is constantly growing, and we are always seeking new, interesting personalities and guest contributors to collaborate with us on various future projects.

Break-ups suck! I can't think of anyone off the top of my head that receives pleasure from a break-up—at least a break-up where one is directly involved. Break-ups are emotionally taxing and require a peculiar level of grieving of what each partner has grown to love, or sometimes despise, about the other. Yes, break-ups often conjure examples of the failed pursuit for an intimate relationship with another person; however, I would like to expand our familiar definition of a "break-up" to include any sentimental loss one may experience—both the concrete and abstract. For example, the decay of a close friendship, the absence of what was once an easily accessible child-like imagination, and the transition from high school to college are all examples of this expanded definition of "break-up." With this analogy in mind, I would like to use this image as a means to help narrate the growing separation of accents from identity and the struggle for belonging.
Language has always fascinated me. While it is impressive that there are trillions of different combinations of words in order to represent one's thoughts, I believe my fascination with language as a whole is much more sociological. One's language can provide insight into another's ethnic, cultural, and geographical background. What I find even more fascinating is that these clues are not limited to different languages, such as English, Arabic, and Spanish. Rather these clues can be gathered from the
multitude of different dialects within one language, too! Call me a nerd, but this is SUPER exciting! Then again, maybe there is a deeper root to this fascination? Maybe this is steeped in my own experience surrounded by a rich exposure to the Southern United States—more specifically, a South- western Virginian—dialect?
My Southern accent is a part of who I am: My accent represents my childhood. My accent represents my family. My accent represents my cultural and geographical context. My accent represents my attachment to the Blue Ridge Mountains. My accent represents my love for old time and bluegrass music. I will forever carry with me the slow rhythm, cadence, and drawl of a Southwestern Virginian accent. If nothing else, the way I enunciate my vowel sounds will give it away. While I have a high regard for my accent and what it represents to me, I also live in this state of fear for what my accent may represent to other people.
I have come to the unfortunate realization that a Southern accent does not conjure all of these positive images for some people. Some people associate the sound of a Southern accent with a lack of formal education. On the other side of the spectrum, some people hear the sound of the Southern accent as jovial and humorous. The bottom line is that those with Southern accents often struggle with other people taking them seriously— this is especially true in academia. It is this lack of cultural awareness and sensitivity that has caused so many of us to adapt, adjust, and sometimes abandon our accent and compromise our identity in the process: thus the agonizing break-up of our accent and identity begins. However, this trend does not and should not have to continue.
I am appealing to every student, administrator, professor, and faculty member for your support. Let us encourage a reconciling effort between accents and the identities that are interconnected with them. May we listen to one another with an eager ear and desire to learn more about the context of others. Let us strive to make sure that no one has to compromise his or her accent and identity in order to feel like he or she belongs on our campus.
