CIA says cyber attacks are real...is it FUD or not?
Several people, including a thread on the A-List at www.control.com have taken notice of the CIA disclosure at SANS last week and have been asking about the veracity of the report. I posted the following, earlier today, on the A-List. Joe Weiss (www.controlglobal.com/unfettered) and I believe the CIA report to be credible. Why we believe that is not for this public forum. Sorry to be mysterious. CIA is not the only agency of the US Government that takes this position. And much of the US Government is apolitical, in case you want to go there. There are in fact documented cases of cyber incidents in power, water, and wastewater utilities. There have been documented cases of cyber incidents in a variety of process and discrete manufacturing industry verticals. Is this issue real? Yes. Joe will again hold his Realtime ACS Cyber Security Conference this August (the 8th since he started doing it, the second since he left KEMA and started ACS). For info, see www.realtimeacs.com. You can also read Joe's testimony before the congressional committee that held hearings late last year on the subject. Just search "Unfettered" (www.controlglobal.com/unfettered) for the blogposts where we published it. It is real enough that in April of 2006, a group of vendors and end users including Honeywell, Invensys, ABB, Siemens, Exxon, Chevron, Shell, and others (myself, Eric and Joanne Byres of Byres Security, etc.) formed an ad hoc group to work on creating a consortium to produce compliance testing in parallel with ISA's SP99 Cyber Security Standard Committee and NIST. This has become the ISCI (www.isa.org/ISASecure/) ISA Security Compliance Institute. In fairness, it must be said that the CEOs of the North American power utilities disagree with Joe, myself, Eric Byres, the CIA and others. It remains to be seen whether we are alarmists or they are ostriches.

40 year old woman | Austin, TX, USA | Seeking men 32-43 within 25 miles
Life's a banquet...
I'm a proud 4th Generation TEXAN. I grew up in Austin, LA, and along the Texas-Mexico border. What kind of a person am I? I'm passionate in every sense and believe in taking advantage of life; not very serious and love to laugh (it's been scientifically proven laughing makes you live longer). I'm social and have a diverse network. "I like to do new things" as long as they aren't creepy and can go from fru-fru bars to dives. I enjoy seeing movies at the Alamo and Violet Crown, runs around Town Lake, cold beverages on the East Side and Rainey Street bars, and dining out. I am genuinely interested in people, a devoted friend, and I LOVE my large crazy family. What do I do professionally? I'm a Community Outreach Director for an international conservation organization. I'm lucky; I pretty much walk in and out of the office every day with a smile. I also have a little salsa company on the side (the kind you eat not the dance). I spent 15 years working in politics and am glad to be out or at least on the edge. My career summed up: attempting to make the world a better place. What am I looking for? Someone who is fun, enjoys a good time, and makes people laugh. You should be social and up for new adventures. Have a good work ethic and grounded. You should be somewhat fit and health conscious. Most importantly you should be a gentleman.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Running, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Don't display my sign
I have Cats, Dogs
I have a 10 1/2 year old Catahoula.She's pretty awesome now that she listens. Her nickname -- Chicken Killer.
Ones that serve tequila or good bubbles and have a great jukebox. Then there's always Paris.
I love live music! ACL. Hollywood Bowl. Give me a show I'm there. Avocados. Corn tortillas. Salsa. Cheese. Cooking. Trying New Restaurants. Old movies. Coffee in bed. Austin. Big Bend.
Parks. Hikes. Museums. Live Music. Dinner Parties. Movies @ the Alamo or Violet Crown. Farmers Market. Barton Springs. East Side Bars. Coffee Shops. Drinking margies. Traveling. Hanging out w/ family and friends.
Jerusalem, it's a cookbook -- I read them like novels. Search Inside Yourself. The NYTs.

So I took the bike to do the shopping and it felt so good that I spontaneously changed plans and went for a wee ride over some nice passes to Chamonix-Mont Blanc.
Mind you, I was riding in my leathers without any extra jacket and summer gloves. Not bad at all for November in the Alps. It got a bit chilly up the passes, but I had dry roads and sunshine all the way, garnished with those amazingly beautiful autumn colours.
(The only good thing about this tourist trap that is Chamonix was that they had a public toilet...
Mighty Mont Blanc itself was pretty much covered in clouds, so I didn't take any pictures.
I still don't have a decent camera so please connive at the poor picture quality. And of course they are all still lifes..e that there will be some more days for ride outs like that this year.
Right now the rain is pattering on the roof window... Cosy sunday afternoon.
If only I wouldn't have to work...
Cheers y'all.
Hi mate ..good to see you managed to get out in some stunning scenery (great pics
). I am jealous! 15C and dry roads! ...... We managed to get out for a run yesterday too but - ugh! - it was 150 miles of wet greasy roads and 4C ...It was good to get a ride but we were filthy and frozen by the time we got back ...first stop had to be to the 'Jet Wash' at a nearby garage. It was as if we had been doing Moto-X!
These from our lunch stop..... Graeme's Panigale and Garry's S1000RR...
I discovered that my 'Power One' track day tires with their minimal tread pattern (none on the sides) was not the ideal choice of tyres for such conditions... with the rear spinning up exiting a few of the bends (clenched buttocks and a very gentle right wrist were the 'order of the day'
Did I say 'it was as if we went Off- roading' .................some did .
Snow back on the hills..
on ills ....

34 year old woman | Long Beach, NY, USA | Seeking men 33-43 within 20 miles
Well, are you?
I love life and people and make the best of every day that I am on this earth.. There is nothing better than being in love, and nothing worse than having it come to an end - Most people don't value what they have (whether it be possessions, family members, friends, significant others) until they are GONE. I don't take anything for granted and appreciate all that I have at all times. I am not interested in hearing apologies, I want to be happy and treated with respect. I enjoy spending my time with my family, my friends, and my pets (we are pretty perfect!). My family is very close and my parents have been together for almost 40 years and have the relationship that I strive for (and seems to be non-existent these days). A close and loving family is all that I know and I will not settle for anything less than that! I am highly educated and very successful - which may pose a threat to some men (one of my biggest problems these days). My life is only lacking that special someone to share it with. I have a big heart and my love for life and my laughter is contagious. In my spare time (not too much of that these days), I like to experiment with my power tools and work on my house (tiling, painting, wiring - I'm a DIY maniac)..... Even if it means sacrificing a nail or two! I also volunteer at the local animal shelter and foster pretty much anything that needs nurturing. This on-line scene is worth a try, I guess. I hope this will be my last attempt at finding that special someone. I will keep my fingers crossed :)

Hmmmm. A private beach, a nice lounge, a dance club, the sofa, the bed. Those are all wonderful places. The only thing greater is sharing the time and place with someone you care about....
Eel, dancing, laughing, playing volleyball, reading on the beach, entertaining, spending time with my family and friends, helping others, and napping (with that special someone)
I love to laugh, play, and love. I work a lot and spend most of my free time with my family (we are pretty perfect!) . I love to enjoy every second of my life. Whether I am at work, volunteering my time, or spending time with my friends or family

and gain an upper hand over other operating systems, otherwise it will end up behind even Windows in terms of "new", most users want eye candy and extra functionality, they want modern look and design and usability that makes Linux superior to other operating systems, not only technically but visually too. Which is why I like what Canonical is trying to do, good things will come out of it for all, one way or the other, Wayland is the best example, Canonical's development of Mir greatly increased the speed of Wayland development. Even if Mir fails it will still be the factor that brought Wayland to Linux users faster. Competition is good for all.
But I digress, my point was that new ideas, even radical ones like Mir are vital in keeping Linux fresh and modern, competition makes developers think harder and come up with new solutions and design. Thinking in camp terms, us against them is never good because Linux development is intertwined and all benefit directly or indirectly when someone makes something good. I remember how people argued in the past about which desktop environment is better, Gnome or KDE, or rpm vs deb, or Debian vs Suse and the like.

After going through depression because of his loss of money and powers, Electro decided to blame Dexter Bennett for all his troubles and attempted to kill Bennett before destroying the Daily Bugle.
A former nuclear physicist and atomic researcher, Otto Octavius' life changed forever when one of his experiments went horribly wrong. From that day forward, he has set out to prove his superior intellect in a number of ways, but these plans are usually thwarted by Spider-Man.
A social worker turned hero, Sam Wilson's bleak outlook on life was wiped away the day he met Captain America. Using a winged costume and his remarkable combat prowess and avian telepathy, he became the Falcon - defender of Harlem. Falcon and Captain America are best friends and crime fighting partners. Sam is an on and off member of the Avengers.
William Burnside was the fourth Captain America and was active in the 1950s. He has resurfaced since often fronting extremist causes and appearing as an antagonist to the real Captain America.

He used his powers to turn Sue into a living statue.... However, the tables get turned many years later in Amazing Spiderman #661 when the Fantastic Four, including Spiderman as the 4th member due to the death of Johnny Storm, face off against the Sinister Six. Here the Invisible Woman fights Electro. First he tries to get through her force field with an electric charge, but fails.

Instead, he created a suit of power armor to escape. Now vowing to protect the world he helped endanger, he became the Invincible Iron Man.

Miles discovers spider powers of his own after he was bitten by a spider 11 months before Peter's death, and uses these powers to be the best superhero he can be. He is currently a member of the Ultimates.
Omega The Unknown, created by a dying alien race, was linked to James-Michael Starling, whom his creators had also created. Both were ultimately tragically destroyed.

After being defeated by Spider-Man, they were returned to the Owl for punishment. Electro was also responsible for the massive super-villain breakout at the Raft. The subsequent search for escapees and gang war between the U-Foes and Crossfire's gang resulted in an increased police/superhero presence, forcing the Owl to suspend his activities and reluctantly accept Spider-Man's offer of help.

Are You a Believer in PCH?
Hello PCH blog readers,
Just a few weeks ago, I started seeing a different doctor for a check-up. As we talked, the normal topic of, "What do you do?" came up. I smiled and said that I worked for a local company, and that I also worked for Publishers Clearing House.
"NO WAY!" he exclaimed. "So… you go around handing out big checks to people?"
"Well, yes!" I said.
Of course, just the other night, his wife was telling him that 'no one ever wins those things.'
In my role as Publishers Clearing House's Goodwill Ambassador, I've had the honor of sharing my story in many different ways. I was recently featured on TLC's The Lottery Changed My Life, and several on-line sites have interviewed me. Slowly but surely, the public is starting to realize that people really DO win!
I've also had the privilege to simply interact with people as I travel around the country with the Prize Patrol. My most recent stop in Arkansas was another success. In fact, two workers in at the flower shop recognized me from my profile on The Lottery Changed My Life! It was the first time that someone from outside my area recognized me. I chatted with them awhile and shared some pictures of my dream home, made possible by my SuperPrize win in 2008.
After we surprised our newest SuperPrize winner, Mrs. Karen Anderson, the Prize Patrol headed to the airport. That day was extremely stormy out east, and flights were delayed and cancelled. I found that my own flight had been cancelled due to bad weather.
I made my way to the ticketing counter to find out my options, and lo and behold, a direct flight to Detroit was available! I told the agent that a silver lining always finds me somehow. The ticketing agent asked me if I was lucky. I laughed and shared my story again. This time, the agent called over to her co-worker, telling him that I helped to deliver a big check to someone in the area, and received one myself a few years ago. The original agent had already rubbed my arm for luck, but the second agent wasn't having any of that. He JUMPED over the counter and grabbed me in a bear hug!!!
I think I've made a few more people believers in Publishers Clearing House. Keep on entering! Who knows? Maybe your next entry will make others believers too!

Belevier isn't the thing !! God is who can make it happen or a higher power ! To get it there so pch can come knocking at my door !! Oh ! I do believe 💜🙏thank you
Here I go again thank pch for the opportunity , but when will win?
Well,well ! Count down is coming for my birth right
Please make me a believer!!!'
I am a truly believer of PCH. It's just like lotto one day one day you will become the lucky winner. Hoping for a great VALENTINES BIRTHDAY GIFT. $$$$$$
Hey Natalie,Yes indeed I'm a firm believer in believing dreams do come true with publishers clearing house.I'm so excited about being able to write a comment to you on this blog.That's amazing how God puts you in places to meet certain people who's been a good Stewart for him.Well since I'm writing : Im honored to meet you this is a awesome opportunity indeed.If I've had any doubts that PCH isn't worth the time,patience,and surprises I believe 100% now.Because our faith is the strength by which a shattered WORLD shall emerge into the light.God bless & Thank you for your time ⛪ let's keep that faith evolving
I just want pch to make a believe out of me , because years ago pch told me they would be at my home and they never showed up, so please make a believe out of me .my god bless me. Sheila
I'm a believer , and I'm a realist too! When Brigitte brooks going to win ? Pch ? ThAnk you
Thank you God
I should point out that in the depths of my heart and soul I do believe, but if anyone sits there and says that it "aggregates" them to hear that people don't believe, then tell that to someone who has been up all hours playing and never winning. I am 60 years old and have never won a thing. I play the lottery, PCH and other games and have NEVER WON A THING.

Booklet - Personal Export Scheme Parcels, Orient Line, 1954 Reg. No: HT 42
- Summary:
- Booklet titled 'Personal Export Scheme Parcels' issued by the Orient Line in 1954. The booklet provides information about parcels sent to passengers onboard the ship. It was used by Geoffrey and Hazel Tirchett when they migrated to Australia on the Otranto as `10 Pound Tourists', departing England on 3 June 1954. Geoffrey already had three brothers in Australia, and upon arrival the couple lived with one of Geoffrey's brothers in Brunswick, until they bought their own home in Pascoe Vale. They fondly remember the journey, especially the food which seemed plentiful after rationing in England.
The term '10 Pound Pom' or '10 Pound Tourist' refers to British migrants who came to Australia following World War Two on an assisted passage scheme where each migrant paid 10 pounds a ticket. Migrants were required to remain in Australia for two years.

Your doctor can diagnose
cold sores by asking questions to find out whether
you've been exposed to the
herpes simplex virus (HSV) and by examining you. No
further testing is usually needed.
There are two types of herpes
simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both virus types can cause lip and mouth sores
(herpes labialis) and
genital herpes if your skin comes into contact with
either type.
If it is not clear that you have cold sores,
herpes tests may be done. The doctor takes a sample of
fluid from a sore and has it tested. Having the sample taken is usually not
uncomfortable even if the sore is tender or painful.

Switzerland opens probe into gold refiner Argor for Congo dealings
GENEVA/DAKAR (Reuters) – Switzerland said it had opened an investigation into Argor-Heraeus, one of the world's largest gold refiners, for suspected money laundering and complicity in war crimes.
The probe follows a criminal complaint filed by Swiss NGO TRIAL on November 1 which accused the refiner of processing close to three tons of gold sourced from an armed group in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Last Swiss finishing school – not just for women anymore
GLION, Switzerland (Reuters) – The sign on the door with a stick figure of a man overlaid with a big "X" will have to go now that the last Swiss finishing school, bending to economic reality and social change, is accepting men.
The Institut Villa Pierrefeu, located on a hill above Lake Geneva, is the last in a line of institutions that struggled to shake their image as "schools for princesses" after Diana Spencer, who later became Lady Diana, attended one in the same canton.
Louis Dreyfus agrees JV to develop Ukraine commods terminal
GENEVA, Oct 17 (Reuters) – Trading giant Louis Dreyfus
Commodities said on Thursday it has entered a joint venture
agreement with Brooklyn Kiev LLC to develop and manage a
multi-commodity terminal in Odessa as it expands in one of the
world's top grain exporters.
While Louis Dreyfus is already active in shipping grains
from the Black Sea – a region which accounts for about a quarter
of global wheat volumes – the terminal will help it to compete
with rivals such as Bunge which already has an export
facility there.
ECB policymakers see no need for new long term loan now
GENEVA/FRANKFURT (Reuters) – Two leading European Central Bank policymakers said they saw no need now for the ECB to make fresh long-term loans to banks, playing down the prospect of any immediate action to tackle moves in money market rates.
The comments from Benoit Coeure, a member of the ECB's Executive Board and generally seen as a policy dove, and the hawkish Bundesbank chief, Jens Weidmann, suggest there is little urgency on the Governing Council for a new splurge of liquidity.
Swiss to vote on ban for speculation in agricultural commods
GENEVA, Oct 1 (Reuters) – Switzerland is obliged to hold a
vote on banning speculation in agricultural commodities after a
left wing political initiative gained enough signatures to force
it to under Swiss law.
The timing of the national vote is not clear and is pending
official guidance from the government. Under the Swiss system,
parliament can propose alternative legislation which is
typically more moderate and also subject to a national vote.
CME delays start of London exchange for second time
GENEVA (Reuters) – CME Group Inc (CME.O: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), the No. 1 U.S. futures market operator, is again postponing the start of operations in London – its first exchange abroad – due to a technical problem, it said on Friday.
It did not provide a new date.
The 165-year-old exchange is trying to better compete with European rivals such as Germany-based exchange Eurex (DB1Gn.DE: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz).
Swiss traders lured by oil assets in pursuit of scale
GENEVA, Sept 25 (Reuters) – Swiss oil trading houses are
investing tens of millions of dollars in oil assets, morphing
from middle men to producers, as they look to swoop on cheap
assets during a period of depressed M&A activity.
With oil trading profit margins often as low as 1 percent,
traders are seeking to diversify, especially in Africa where
Vitol and Glencore are already pumping oil.
London Metal Exchange's warehousing plan fails to entice
GENEVA (Reuters) – The London Metal Exchange (LME) may have to return to the drawing board as enthusiasm wanes for its third attempt in as many years to head off a crisis over its warehouse system.
Storage firms owned by big banks and trade houses have made money by building stocks in LME-registered warehouses and allowing queues to grow for clients seeking to withdraw material, all the time charging rent.
Iran to invest over 8 billion euros in aluminium sector
GENEVA (Reuters) – Iran plans to invest around 8.5 billion euros ($11.4 billion) in its aluminium industry as part of plans to nearly quadruple production by 2025, an official at mining group Imidro said on Thursday.
Iran is the 20th largest producer of aluminium in the world, according to the Iranian Mines and Mining Industries Development and Renovation Organisation (Imidro), and needs the extra supplies to meet demand which is growing by 10 percent a year.
Rusal seeking some fixed-term aluminium premiums for 2014
GENEVA, Sept 19 (Reuters) – Russia's United Company Rusal
, the world's biggest producer of aluminium, wants to fix the
price for some of its aluminium supply contracts for next year, the company's
marketing chief executive said on Thursday.
Rusal last year broke with tradition to switch term supply deals for 2013 to
a floating premium, the amount paid on top of the London Metal Exchange (LME)
price for physical delivery of metal.

Whom do you read (if you do) who steers your thoughts & insights?
Thanks Richard, nowadays it's hard to say. Since 2011 our 'before the trip books' have remained in the cardboard boxes where we'd put them with the idea that if we were to make a home somewhere else they'd be easier to ship. There's a lot of stuff in there that is partly responsible for the emotional puss and the philosophical pirouettes. On the road we manage to find some of the most amazing books; I don't know if there's a rule, but when you travel you happen to meet quite unusual people, and they are the ones with the books. In Africa the American dude who had founded the wildlife sanctuary where we worked in Nigeria, had a fabulous selection, especially, you wouldn't believe at the jungle base. The Elegant Universe, Ayan Hirsi Ali's 'Infidel' were read there along with other stuff. In Central Asia I did not get to savour in person the best personal library, as it was in a place in Russia where I never went. Most couch surfing hosts and hostels have swap-shelves and we scored Ian McGowan like that, haven't heard of him and now is a favourite; we consume a lot of 'travel literature', but we prefer the kins of Sylvain Tesson or Colin Thubron. Funny but informative, without giving me all the data like a blog, if with some backstory the better. Frankly we read very few books per year now apart from travelogues, but we do a bit of research on topics that we find interesting; eventually we select those topics for the RR, so what I write may be more influenced about that research. A lot of inspiration - both when I was designing architecture projects and today when I am not (;) comes from cinema. We both watch a lot of movies and I'd have troubles quoting titles and directors that do a lot more than 'steer'. But if you are interested I'd be happy to make a list.

(PRWEB) July 20, 2014
Chef de Cuisine Steve Wan presents an a la carte Ceviche Tasting Menu at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel from September 1 through September 30, 2014. Drawing inspiration from the rich and flavorful regions of Mexico, Peru and Asia, his tasting menu features tuna, rock shrimp, sea bass and scallops, and highlights such ingredients as coconut, sweet chili, candied yam and crispy jicama. The Ceviche Tasting Menu is offered in RAYA, Bar Raya and 180blu, the resort's outdoor oceanfront lounge.
The a la carte tasting menu includes:
In Peru, ceviche has been declared to be part of Peru's national heritage and has even had a holiday declared in its honor. In Mexico and some parts Central America, ceviche is served either in cocktail cups with tostadas, salted crackers, or as a tostada topping and taco filling. Shrimp, octopus, squid, tuna, and mackerel are popular bases for Mexican ceviche. Typically, the marinade ingredients include salt, lime, onion, chili peppers, and avocado. Ceviche usually features Latin American flavors, but Chef Wan has created an Asian-style ceviche by adding a few Asian ingredients such as yuzu, white soy and ponzu.
The resort's resident mixologist, Erin Snider, created several signature cocktails to complement Chef Wan's ceviche selections. The hand-crafted cocktails include:
RAYA, a restaurant concept by acclaimed Chef Richard Sandoval, showcases Pan-Latin Coastal Cuisine prepared with sustainable seafood, local produce, natural and organic meats, and Chef Richard Sandoval's signature Latin flavors. Raya's menu is prepared exclusively with fresh, local produce and sustainable seafood. Hawaiian Ahi Tuna and Lobster Tacos are amongst the signature small plates. Latin-inspired large plates include Achiote Salmon, Piloncillo Prawns and Miso Alaskan Black Cod.

About America: Prophecy, Power, Politics
The course will provide a conceptual overview of major issues in contemporary and historical American society, politics, and culture. As the partisan divide in American politics demonstrates, the United States is a nation deeply divided by disagreements over: the role and size of government; religion and the separation of church and state; foreign policy and the nation's role in the global order; and the balance of individual liberties with collective justice.
The course is designed to give students the conceptual tools, research skills and critical methodologies they can apply to understanding contemporary political and policy debates - global, American, and Australian. It will complement other HSC subjects in the humanities and political sciences regardless of whether they have an American focus - and will provide excellent preparation for humanities and political science at the university level.
The benefits
- Knowledge and understanding of the United States and its impact on the world.
- Contextual knowledge that will enrich topics in the HSC Modern History syllabus.
- Skills in oral and written expression of conceptually difficult ideas and independent critical thinking. These skills will prove useful for other essay-based HSC subjects and debating.
- After successful completion of the course, students will gain one subject (a six credit point semester-length unit of study) towards a degree in Arts or other combined degree programs at the University of Sydney.
- The course fee is approximately one-third of the full fee rate for one subject (a six credit point Arts unit of study) at the University of Sydney. Students who gain admission to a degree which this subject can be credited toward - will not incur a HECS debt or be liable for the full fee for this subject.
How is this course recognised?
America: Prophecy, Power, Politics is endorsed as a one-unit option. The course is recognised by the Board of Studies as a Year 11 preliminary unit and forms part of a student's final HSC record. Board Endorsed Courses are designed for high-achieving students to supplement and extend the HSC curriculum, though the results in these courses are not included in the calculation of the Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR). The result for America: Prophecy, Power, Politics will appear on a student's Record of Achievement and is worth one subject toward an undergraduate degree at the University of Sydney.
Session times
Contact hours: 1 x 1 hour lecture and 1 x 2 hour tutorial each week
Time: 4.00 – 7.00pm each Tuesday throughout Semester 1 (3 March – 2 June 2015)
Location: University of Sydney campus, Darlington (exact venue TBC)
Course outline
The course consists of the following core modules:
- Prophecy: This module introduces and examines foundational and enduring American beliefs including American exceptionalism, the frontier, Manifest Destiny, the American dream, and freedom and equal opportunity for all.
- Power: This module discusses America as both a nation and an empire. It considers the rise of American imperialism and expansion; the migration and movement of peoples; borders, security, media, and technology.
- Politics: This module discusses the impact of the founding ideas of republicanism, liberalism, and democracy on responses to economic crises, using the GFC and connecting it back to the Great Depression. It analyses the battles over the separation of church and state, and the relationship between conservatism, religion, and politics.
- Research essay 50% (including essay proposal and annotated bibliography)
- Exam 30%
- Group presentation and class participation 20%

Brain Cancer Health Center
Adult Brain Tumors Treatment (PDQ®): Treatment - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Treatment Option Overview
Primary Brain Tumors
Radiation therapy and chemotherapy options vary according to histology and anatomic site of the brain tumor. For high-grade malignant gliomas—glioblastoma, anaplastic astrocytoma, anaplastic oligodendroglioma, and anaplastic oligoastrocytoma—combined modality therapy with resection, radiation, and chemotherapy is standard. Since anaplastic astrocytomas, anaplastic oligodendrogliomas, and anaplastic oligoastrocytomas represent only a small proportion of central nervous system gliomas, phase III randomized trials restricted to them are not generally practical. However, since they are aggressive and are often included in studies along with glioblastomas, they are generally managed in a fashion similar to glioblastoma. Therapy involving surgically implanted carmustine-impregnated polymer wafers combined with postoperative external-beam radiation therapy (EBRT) has a role in the treatment of high-grade gliomas regardless of the extent of surgical resection.[1] Specific treatment options for tumor types are listed below under the tumor types and locations. This section covers general treatment principles.
Recommended Related to Brain Cancer
Astrocytoma is a type of brain cancer that usually starts in the cerebrum, the largest part of your brain, but can also show up in the cerebellum (the back of the brain). It's more common in men than women and most often shows up after age 45. There are several types of astrocytoma, and some grow faster than others. They get their name from astrocytes, the star-shaped cells where they form in the brain. About 50% of primary brain tumors are astrocytomas. Read on to learn more about symptoms,...
Read the What Is Astrocytoma? article > >
Dexamethasone, mannitol, and furosemide are used to treat the peritumoral edema associated with brain tumors. Use of anticonvulsants is mandatory for patients with seizures.[2]
Finally, active surveillance is appropriate in some circumstances. With the increasing use of sensitive neuroimaging tools, there has been increased detection of asymptomatic low-grade meningiomas. The majority appear to show minimal growth and can often be safely observed, with therapy deferred until the detection of tumor growth or the development of symptoms.[3,4]
For most types of brain tumors in most locations, an attempt at complete or near-complete surgical removal is generally recommended, if possible, within the constraints of preservation of neurologic function and underlying patient health. This recommendation is based on observational evidence that survival is better in patients who undergo tumor resection than in those who have closed biopsy alone.[5,6] However, the benefit of resection has not been tested in randomized trials.
Selection bias can enter into observational studies despite attempts to adjust for patient differences that guide the decision to operate. Therefore, the actual difference in outcome between radical surgery and biopsy alone may not be as large as noted in the retrospective studies.[6] An exception to the general recommendation for attempted resection is the case of deep-seated tumors such as pontine gliomas, which are diagnosed on clinical evidence and treated without initial surgery approximately 50% of the time. In most cases, however, diagnosis by biopsy is preferred. Stereotactic biopsy can be used for lesions that are difficult to reach and resect.

Making Family friends
The Druze villages are usually centered around the family a supreme important element in their culture. If you become friends and are "accepted" with one member of a family it tends to "spread" and you may become friendly with many other members of the family.
Here you can see Zoahra with other members of Yossef's family who invited us over to their home for an afternoon.
But then we also sometimes bring friends so they can enjoy Beit Jann with us, here Nathalie and Zohara are patiently waiting in the evening for their cup of coffee to be served to them by me or Rob.

I have never been good at roller skating (or anything that requires balance for that matter). However, when I was a children's pastor in another part of the state, I did take a group of church kids to the local roller rink. One of the boys who went was named Will, and he skated like I remember skating. He probably fell at least ten times and when he hit the ground, he hit hard. In fact, he fell so hard that the tops of his shins, right below his knees, were completely bruised.

Our Great Plight
Get Email Alerts
Essay by:Tiffany Humiston
Emporia State University
The great physicist Isaac Newton's Third Law of Motion states that to every action there is always an opposed and equal reaction; the national debt and the budget deficit issue we are facing did not simply fall out of a tree, they were created. They have causes that are deeply rooted in our national history and they will likely have devastating effects not only on my generation of 20-something college students, but on our children, and their children, etc. By not dealing with the issue right now, we are only allowing it to snowball into an even bigger problem. We are passing on the buck to the next generation of 20-something college students and history will remember that. In order to rectify our indifference to this issue, we must look at the causes and effects of the growing deficit and national debt so we can change the lives of those to come.

Youre title was really catchy, and your essay made very solid points. I agree with your snowball effect and if our governement doesnt take immediate action that will benefit us all then this will only continue to get out of control. I really liked how you compared our current situation to past situations in history, it really made me think about our problem in a historical manner and do some comparing. Thanks for sharing your ideas!

»A new report finds the main problem in getting the public to deal with our fiscal problems isn't opposition to tax increases or spending cuts -- it's their lack of trust in the government to spend their money wisely.

I had high hopes in the beginning. Things didn't stick, life was good. But it didn't take long for it to go downhill. In less than three months, I won't use these pans if I can help it. EVERYTHING sticks and the pans are stained. I've had better luck with cheaper pans.
Front Royal, VA

I absolutely love these pans. I bought a set a year ago and still in amazing condition! Use 1-2x daily. :-)
Corning, NY
I have enjoyed this wonderful set of pans. I have cooked pancakes, eggs, sausage, toasted cheese sandwiches in these pans. also have cooked fried chicken, and will be using them much more than the pan set I currently have. I Love these pans and would recommend them to all my friends and family. Thank you for the lovely set. They really are unique.

Deland, FL
These pans are wonderful. Nothing sticks without using oil. I have had other pans that make the same claim but after awhile they need oil. Eggs are great in them and tonight I am making skillet spaghetti in them. The really do making cooking and clean up easy. I highly recommend them.

Chicago, IL
Either cooking oil or pam, you can use to fry your food. And an easy clean up as well. I really enjoyed this product.

Clermont, FL
At first I was unsure, as have never used a ceramic coating before. But with just a teaspoon of oil, I could make multiple dinners in it. Clean up is super easy!!!! Didn't even mind hand washing it rather than using the dishwasher. I will look for these the next time I am in need of pots/pans. Bonus spatula was really cool too.

This is a decent product, I didnt know what to expect but the quality is good.

Danbury, CT
Very easy to use. Eggs cooked sunny side up came out perfect and tastes very good. Did not need any oil/grease and did not stick. Scramble eggs also came out perfect. I also tried French Toast and Pancake. Easy to clean. Well, I just wiped with paper towel. I have to try meat grilling next.

Jasper, AL
These are the best pans ever! Ive used both pans, the 8" & 10", they cook food fast, evenly, little or no oil, and the clean up is so easy!! I dont think Ive had pans that clean so easy before. The handles on the pans are great too. I have told my family and friends about these pans. I plan on buying more for myself and some for Christmas presents.
Murrysville, PA
We used the Greenlife ceramic fry pans the same day we got them. They looked very nice and we made eggs to start with. They came out perfect and cleaned very easily. We made potato roast and it cooked evenly. Cleaning was again very easy. We showed them to our friends at a get-together and some wanted to try them. I was told some them bought them on Sunday. We recommend these without any qualification.
The reviewer indicated they received a sample of this product.
Chicago, IL
Douglasville, GA
these have to be the very best pans I have ever owned. Use very little oil if any and the clean up is done in half the time. Liked these pans so much I purchased 2 more for my daughter.
These are great pans that nothing sticks to! The only think I would like to see is the design of the sides to be a bit deeper. Also if they made a 12"-14" pan with higher sides. My whole family loves these to cook in!
Pleasant Hall, PA
Nothing sticks!! Very easy to clean! Both are great sizes for different uses when cooking.
Palmer, MA
The 8 inch pan is the perfect size for breakfast omlets for one or two people. And the 11 inch pan is a great size for pancakes and such as the sides are not as high as a regular skillet. Bought a separate 12 inch skillet for that.
Alpena, MI
I think the pans are great. They certainly work as advertised -- maybe even better. They're not so bad to clean but I wish the larger pan was deeper and the handles were riveted. That didn't stop me from buying them though and I think they were worth the money -- very definitely.
Dolan Springs, AZ
I wish that there were lids that fit them available to buy. As for clean up...no matter what you have cooked in them, dunk them in the dish water and swirl a sponge or dish cloth around, rinse and they're done.
Naples, FL
just as good if not better than green pan,you can use ver y little oil or none at all

Pioneers above Jordan: Revealing a Prehistoric Landscape
Kennedy, David L., Antiquity
The military needs of the combatants in the First World War drove the rapid development of flying and photographic reconnaissance in Europe (Nesbit 1996; Watkis 1999) which in turn was applied to archaeological reconnaissance soon after. Much less well known is the development of aerial reconnaissance in the Middle East in the same period. This other theatre of war had different needs and witnessed important experimentation in aerial reconnaissance. After the war, the transfer of power to Britain (Iraq, Transjordan and Palestine) and France (Syria, including Lebanon) provided opportunities for its application to very different conditions, landscapes and remains. Little-known lands were explored and totally unknown archaeological landscapes were revealed.
Two of the most remarkable developments occurred in the 1920s (cf. Kennedy 2002b), the better-known being the succession of flights over Syria by Pere Antoine Poidebard which culminated in his magisterial La Trace de Rome dans le Desert de Syrie (1934; cf. Mouterde & Poidebard 1954). Many of the sites recorded by Poidebard had already been explored on the ground, many were not Roman and he pressed too far in his interpretations of the data, which was obtained almost exclusively from aerial reconnaissance. Nevertheless, his 1934 publication was a landmark, with a thick volume of plates richly evocative of landscapes, places and structures. His grand map of the 'Limes' is an impressive (if flawed) contribution to Roman frontier studies (Kennedy & Riley 1990: 50-52; cf. Nordiguian & Salles 2000; Denise & Nordiguian 2004).
Far less familiar is the work of a handful of serving officers of the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the neighbouring British Mandate of Transjordan. This revealed a hitherto totally unknown prehistoric landscape, which, even before it was seen to extend into neighbouring countries (and now over immense areas from northern Syria to Yemen [Kennedy 2011]), should have been recognised as the more significant discovery. Although less exotic than the birds, monkeys and patterns of Peru's Nazca Lines, these 'Works of the Old Men' are far older, and more numerous and extensive. Unfortunately, the discoveries have remained largely opportunistic and no grand work of synthesis has yet emerged; indeed, they were overshadowed for several decades by both the prominence of Roman studies and the quantity and quality of Poidebard's publications (1931: 356-57, 1934: 191-96; cf. Dussaud 1929).
Initiation and development in Transjordan: First World War
The Palestine Front of 1915-18 saw armies operating over a broad triangular swathe from Egypt to the northern Hedjaz and Damascus (Figure 1). As this was a region for which few good maps existed, both sides rapidly brought aircraft into service to remedy the situation. Their initial role of visual reconnaissance was soon complemented by tens of thousands of aerial photographs. These were both low-level obliques of specific military dispositions and high-level photographs, to be used as photomaps and the basis for cartography (Cutlack 1941: esp. 46, 64, 70-71, 93; cf. Jones 1937: chs V & VI). Between 1 February and 12 September 1918, the No. 304 Squadron of the Deutsche Luftstreitkrafte (DLRK) took 2914 aerial photos (Kedar 1999: 32; cf. von Waldenfels 1925); the No. 1 Squadron of the Australian Flying Corps (AFC) reported it had exposed a total of 5395 plates in 1918, from which they made a staggering 51 356 prints (captured in a contemporary photograph [Figure 2] AWM 'Statistics of 1st Squadron AFC'). Many photographs were destroyed during or soon after the war but the large cache surviving in the archives of the Australian War Memorial in Canberra and those in the Bayerisches Kriegsarchiv in Munich attest to the quality and type of everyday reconnaissance photography. Beyond the photograph itself, considerable efforts were expended at the time cataloguing--or geo-referencing, as it is now called--the places and landscapes photographed. …

Jeff Burt has always enjoyed the smoothness and fruity flavors of a hookah's smoke. The 28-year-old has smoked shisha -- a flavored tobacco -- for several years in social settings with friends, but it's only in recent months that Burt has worried that his hookah consumption, usually combined with cigarettes and alcohol during a night out, is taking a toll on his body.
"I have been feeling worse and worse after I go out, drink a lot and smoke cigarettes and hookah, so I've been trying to cut down on the amount of that type of stuff I've been doing," said Burt.
Now, other hookah lovers may have to cut back on their shisha consumption, too, whether they want to or not. State lawmakers in Oregon, Connecticut and California are proposing to ban or limit hookah bars because of the health hazards associated with the smoking.
Reps. Carolyn Tomei, an Oregon state representative who sponsored a bill to limit new hookah lounges in Oregon, said her biggest concern is the health risk to young people.
"It's mostly very young people in hookah bars and that's who they appeal to," said Tomei. "Someone middle-aged doesn't start smoking; new smokers are young people. And most young people aren't aware of how dangerous it is."
Jack Henningfield, a drug and tobacco addiction expert at Johns Hopkins Medical Institution and a member of the World Health Organization Tobacco Product Regulation Study Group, agreed with Tomei, and said that even recreational use could turn into addiction.
"Proponents tend to describe infrequent use, but then that is how cigarette addiction and other disease typically start," said Henningfield. "Similar to cigarette smoking, many people escalate to more frequent use and higher levels of intake."
The Eastern Mediterranean device, which has been used in the region for several hundred years, has become a rising trend in the United States, particularly among young adults. Many people smoke shisha, because they believe it is a milder and safer alternative to smoking cigarettes, but experts say the truth is that it's as dangerous-- maybe even more -- than lighting up a cigarette.
A 2009 study conducted by Thomas Eissenberg, a professor of biopsychology and health psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University, found that relative to cigarette smoking, hookah use is associated with greater carbon monoxide, nicotine and smoke exposure.
"People are inhaling charcoal smoke and the combustion product of sugar and flavoring, along with tobacco smoke," said Eissenberg. "Smoke from a hookah and cigarettes have the same poisons."
The tobacco is heated by charcoal. The water in the hookah then cools the smoke before it hits one's mouth, so inhaling theusually fruity-flavored smoke is much smoother than a cigarette. Because of this, many people who partake in the hookah believe that the water acts as a filter to the tobacco toxins, but experts say this is untrue.
Smoking from a hookah during a typical 45-minute session is equivalent to smoking about 100 cigarettes, Eissenberg said.
Moreover, hookah tobacco packages are usually labeled to contain.05 percent of nicotine and 0 percent tar.
"Many hookah lounge owners will say, 'Look, it doesn't have tar' and they'll point to the tobacco package," said Eissenberg. "The box is right, just as a cigarette does not contain tar. You have to burn tobacco to produce tar."
