Do information leak prevention products protect critical data?
Can one product really protect your enterprise from an information leak? In this expert Q&A, Mike Chapple examines the content protection market and warns users to keep realistic expectations.

matching or signature detection. The former requires administrators to provide patterns (e.g. regular expressions) that describe sensitive data. This technique is especially useful when you're attempting to detect outbound flows of Social Security numbers and/or credit card information. For example, you might use the regular expression "d{3}-d{2}-d{4}" to match a standard U.S. SSN consisting of ten digits hyphenated in the form xxx-xx-xxxx. Signature detection systems typically require administrators to "register" sensitive content with the protection system. Administrators can do so by uploading individual files, scanning a file share or integrating with a document management system.
When using a content protection system, it is important to have realistic expectations. These systems tend to require a great deal of administrative attention to install, configure/tune and operate. If you expect a "plug and play" product, you'll likely be disappointed.

Howdy! So I spent some of my early childhood...
Howdy! So I spent some of my early childhood in the bay area and then bounced around for the last 20 years, Midwest, East Coast, the South, Internationally, and now back on the West Coast. I like to try new activities and spots, so don't sweat it if you got other favorite hobbies or spots. We can make new experiences out of it together. Doesn't matter how random or different it is. I'm game! I don't drink coffee or tea, but I have my other addictions, namely soda. You will still find me hanging out at random coffee spots though. So we can meet up and have a bunch of caramels together:) I think there's a line from "Good Will Hunting" in there somewhere... I prefer to hang out with chill laid back folks, who can be goofy with me, but I enjoy meeting all types of people. I really don't have a 'type', we may be opposites or we have some things in common, but we connect. I value those with a good kind heart:) Some random things about me --- * I'm one of those old school cats who enjoys the simple things in life. * If you ask me something straight up, I won't play games * I'm definitely not one of those characters you can slap a label onto * I've had my share of accidents...Please be kind to us runners and bikers:) * Always down for some travel, stepping out of my comfort zone, and new experiences Sounds good? Drop me a line if you're interested in connecting...

We've rounded up some of today's hottest entertainment news stories that you may have missed featuring Ashlee Simpson, Jessica Simpson, Lorde, Hugh Jackman and more.
Ashlee Simpson looks like she's ready to pop!
Ashlee Simpson is expecting her very first daughter.
The singer and her husband, Evan Ross, spilled the exciting baby news to People, telling the publication, "We're having a girl!"…
It looks like Christmas came a little bit early in the Simpson household, bringing the most wonderful gift in the world: A BABY!
Ashlee Simpson is pregnant with her and hubby Evan Ross' first child together, E! News reports, which will make Jessica Simpson an auntie for the second time.
Thanksgiving has come and gone in a flash, and while we're all be sad we have to wait a whole year for an excuse to stuff our faces like we did last night, today is actually a very, very happy day: It marks the first official day we can start listening to HOLIDAY MUSIC!
"Auntie J" already works well for little Bronx, so why not make Jessica Simpson an aunt again?!
The singer's younger sister Ashlee Simpson and her new hubby Evan Ross only tied the knot two months ago, but they're already trying to have some babies!
Ryan Cabrera is back with new music!
His latest single "House on Fire" just hit iTunes and he's gearing up for the release of a new album in 2015. We were lucky enough to talk to Cabrera about his new music, his dream collaborations, and his Ryan Gosling tattoo! Check out the interview…
Well, isn't this adorable.
Because it's never too early to encourage your child's career ambitions, Jessica Simpson allows her 2-year-old daughter Maxwell to do 'Mommy's makeup."
The 34-year-old blonde beauty shared a super cute pic of 'Maxi' applying some lipgloss as her mom puckered up.
It's a boy!
Pete Wentz and his girlfriend, Meagan Camper, welcomed a baby boy named Saint Lazslo on Wednesday, Aug. 20! The couple didn't know the sex of the baby before Meagan gave birth, so it was probably an extra exciting day for them!
It's only been a couple weeks since Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult broke up, but the starlett doesn't appear to be taking the split too hard.
While Hoult has been spotted grabbing sushi with Kristen Stewart, J. Law is keeping busy having a good time with her awesome Hunger Games co-stars Elizabeth Banks…
Flower power, boobs and legs!
That's probably not the official slogan for Jessica Simpson's summer (or sister Ashlee's bachelorette party), but as her latest Instagram photo suggests, we might as well stop working on our summer bodies and eat ice cream and pie instead.
Katie Holmes was almost Piper on Orange Is the New Black? Olivia Wilde was almost Marissa Cooper on The O.C.?! That's right! Some of the biggest celebs in Hollywood were thisclose to being cast on some of the most popular TV shows of our time.
How often does this near casting happen? More…
They may be five years apart, but Jessica Simpson and Ashlee Simpson are starting to look more and more like twins!
The beautiful, blonde sisters showed off their good genes in a selfie over the weekend, making identical kissy faces and wearing minimal makeup–which really showed off how much they look alike!
Jessica Simpson is set to tie the knot with fiance Eric Johnson over the July 4th weekend in Santa Barbara, but what kind of wedding has she been planning?
According to a source, she's been working closely with sister Ashlee Simpson–who is also getting married this summer–to finalize everything.
Prepare yourselves for some serious cute overload.
Jessica Simpson posted a photo of her son Ace in the bathtub with CaCee Cobb's baby boy Rocco yesterday, and it's pretty stinkin' adorable.
In case you didn't know, the MTV Movie Awards are this Sunday and the anticipation is absolutely killing us.
The night is sure to be filled with with plenty of ridiculous antics, seeing as Conan O'Brien himself is hosting this years show, and hopefully we'll get to see some unforgettable Best Kisses too.
Engaged couple Ashlee Simpson and Evan Ross recently celebrated their upcoming nuptials and — like all (almost) smug marrieds — could not wait to share photos from the lavish bash.
"What an amazing engagement party with all of our loved ones! We gettin' married," Ashlee wrote on her Twitter before sharing a photo of herself…
Just because Papa Joe Simpson was spotted celebrating his birthday weekend in his swimsuit, lounging with his ubiquitous e-cigarette and taking sexy snaps of a young lad in skimpy trunks writhing in the Miami sand doesn't mean anything tawdry is going on, people.
So, he's coming out — with a response, that i…
Pete Wentz has an important announcement to make.
His son Bronx Mowgli is going to be a big brother.

Here's Terry checking out an old rotting bridge on a particularly overgrown part of the BAM route ... many of the bridges needed us to stop and plot a safe path over them:
Terry was leading and took what I suspected was a wrong turn onto a disused forestry trail. I hoped he would notice but after a few kilometres he hadnt. I sped up to try to overtake Tony and Terry and turn the team around, but the road didnt like my idea and I caught the steep edge of a stream in the middle of the track and went down. Nowhere near the speed of the fall the other day. This time just at 35-40 km/h. But I looked up and saw Tony and Terry riding away over the crest of a hill.
It had been an exhausting day and I didnt have the energy to pick the bike up. The rain was still falling and without wet weather gear on, I was cold and soaked to the bone. I went to the stream and cleaned myself up a bit and waited for the boys to return. I only had to wait about 10 minutes as Terry did realise we might be on a wrong trail and turned round to ask my opinion, only to see I wasn't there. The boys helped me pick up the bike and we went back to the turnoff under the rail bridge that Terry hadn't seen and continued on. This was obviously the right track now, it (a) followed the rail line and (b) had the old roadbed of rotting logs.
After just 3km, the heavens gave a full strength tropical downpour. We sheltered under a railway bridge to wait out the rain and ponder how we would make the river crossing beside us.
We were now only 20 km from Etyrken village, which by now had become the target for the day. If the rain didnt let up, we would need to make a run for it sooner or later anyway, but after half an hour of sheltering under the BAM the downpour reverted to mere rain, and we decided that was good enough for us.
The river crossing we decided to go for was basically an old log bridge that had collapsed and was now a floating log raft full of holes, jammed in between the banks. The only way across was to walk the bikes over the slippery wet logs. My bike went across OK, but Tony's got caught and slipped in between two logs. A lot of pushing, lifting, shoving and groaning followed but the bike eventually made it across to the shallows on the other side, from where it splashed down and could be ridden out. Terry's bike made it across without too much drama and we resumed our drive.
A passing railway maintenance train saw us and watched us struggle through a couple of bogs, tooting wildly with excitement.
There was one more set of Polish notes on my GPS ... and it was something to do with a river crossing. We arrived there, now just 14 km form Etyrken and pondered the crossing. I thought we might ask the railway maintenance train (which had a crane) to lift us up and ferry us across on the train bridge, but as we discussed options, yelling was heard coming from the opposite bank. 2 guys were waving their arms and telling us to wait. They got into a big Ural truck and drove across the river. This was an incredible stroke of luck to have a truck arrive just as we needed it. They directed us to a makeshift ramp and loaded all three bikes on board the big Ural for the bumpy rocky river crossing. Once on the other side of the river, all unloaded, we offered the guys cash but they refused.
Then I suddenly realised they were waiting for us. It was something to do with they guy we met at the Railway Station this morning as we departed Novy Urgal. The guy who lived halfway to Fevralsk, the guy that I didnt pay much attention to. I had told him we were going thru Etyrken to Fevralsk and he had scoffed, saying we would not get that far in one day. He was from Etyrken and must have called people there saying watch out for 3 stupid english motorcyclists.
The two guys in the Ural were Nikolai and his son Nikolai. They told us to stop in Etyrken and we would be housed, fed and sauna'd. It was an offer too good for three soaking wet, exhausted riders to pass up. As we are a fair bit faster than the truck, I told them we would wait at the edge of Etyrken for them and we sped off.
Five km from Etyrken (population 350) and we saw the buildings of the town for the first time. After a full day in the cold and rain, it was like seeing an oasis as you walk through the desert. Sweet, sweet civilisation. We stopped on the edge of town to wait for the two Nicks and a blue 4WD zoomed up to greet us. The guy introduced himself as Nikolai's brother. 10 minutes later and the big Ural arrives in town and leads us to the town fire station. Each town in these parts has a fire brigade tasked with monitoring a huge area of forest for forest fires.
We parked up the bikes in the fire station and were led upstairs to a little guest apartment there, complete with kitchen and bathroom. It was now just after 5pm, and the two Nicks said they would be back at 8pm to take us to their banya (sauna).
By now I realised the older Nikolai was the guy who had spoken to me in Novy Urgal. I had paid so little attention to him back there that I had barely actually seen his face. He had been just a guy pointing at my maps and telling me we would not make it to Fevralsk today. After meeting us, he had taken a train back to Etyrken and then drove out to meet us in the truck. He had been waiting only about 5 minutes when he heard our engines pull up at the river crossing. It was all very lucky, and great timing.
Nikolai, his son Nikolai, and his brother the fireman: If anyone I had ever met qualified as "real men" it was these guys. Tough as nails, nothing is ever a problem, and yet helpful as an old friend.
In the banya, we spoke about other foreigners he had met in town. Only motorcyclists and a cyclist it seems. It was the same story that we had heard in Gerbi a few days back. He spoke of an Australian cyclist in recent years - he hadn't met him but had heard about him. And then there was the Polish motorcyclists, (Richard and Richard). They was here for 3 days last year (we were told - though Richard has now corrected that version to just one day) , and consumed a lot of vodka it seems !!! They too stayed in the same guest apartment above the fire station that we were now in, according to the locals.

A primer on Russian trucks:
Thoughout this and other threads of mine, you see me refer to an Ural here, a KrAZ there, a UAZik ...
so here's a bit of a backgrounder on Russian trucks and vehicles of extreme Siberia:
A large 4WD van ... often used as minibuses and utility vehicles on the graded gravel roads. Come in 3 body shapes, the full van, the single cab trayback and the double cab trayback. Risky taking them off graded roads. Diesel and petrol versions. Even available now with fuel injection on the petrol version.
A 4WD diesel truck popular with the army, solid unit with good ground clearance, and a very cramped cab: Can fit two loaded motorcycles on the back.
A tank tracked vehicle with a small drivers cab up the front and anything you like on the back ... usually accomodation for 6-8 people at the back, but I have seen trayback versions.
This is a real workhorse 6WD Diesel. Fantastically solid vehicle. The pick of the bunch. The pride and joy of anyone who owns one. Will drive through 10 feet of water. Note on this one, the snorkel and air intake on top of the roof of the truck!
ZiL: About the size of a Ural, and also 6WD, but its weakness is its petrol engine, which leaves it vulnerable to water crossings.
KaMAZ: KaMAZ trucks are the only 6WD trucks with the forward cab. Usually with much more modern turbo diesel engines, they are rare out in the more extreme parts of Siberia where simplicity is favored.
KrAZ: The big daddy of Russian 6WD trucks ... the KrAZ can take the biggest loads. Slightly bigger than the Ural, but drinks twice as much diesel. Often fitted with mega wide tyres.

Colebatch, this river? We arrived at the + / - 7 pm. We knew that already is near Etyrkien. Passing through the river was 90 min. Large lot of water and stones. Everything was wet. Everywhere in trousers, boots, water. It was cold. The largest river in what was on our BAM. We had to sleep. The plan was that, first go to the store and ask for accommodation. When was the shop, not even when we went to him came up to us young boy: Roma. We slept with him. He took us to their friends. We were 20 people. It was a lot of food and made "bubble". Rome was a soldier, a sniper in Chechnya. He showed pictures of the army. In the morning when we drove away, took us on a shoot, and we gave ride our bikes.
At night, Roma did ammunition.
When we drove away, everybody said that they do not ride on. Roma told us to come back, we will arrange to train Fevralsk. Of course not returned. Fought on!

I remember there were two points where the track went to the water. One close to the rail bridge, the other 100metres further down river - as in your photo. The river was much higher when we were there. Where your bikes are stopped was under the deep water on the route Nikoli drove, which had looped across further to the right. He knew his river!

water levels
Yes, in the early part of this trip, we had lower water levels than you guys, but by the time we got to Etyrken, it was raining, and water levels were definately higher over this river.
This river was absolutely not possible to cross on moto when we were there. We needed the URAL truck!.

Great adventure, Colebatch. Do you keep a written travel diary? How do you capture such great details and recall them all later?
Have you considered helmet mounted 2-way radios for communication with the other riders on the trip? I would think the 2M band radios would have the range for what you are doing and would increase the safety of the ride. Plus eliminate going back to search for a fallen/lost rider. Just wondering...

It never ceases to amaze me, the hospitality and the length people will go to help a traveler in the remote regions around the globe, as reported on this web site. It's almost like they are an entirely different breed of Humans. Simple, down to earth, not greedy and trusting.
Very cool ride report. Keep it coming

Sadly, coming from our 'civilised world' it needs this kind of experience to realise it.
Who is the richer?
I think I know.

As it is, I have thought of improving my record keeping ... by having a push-to-talk activated voice recorder, so i can record my thoughts or expressions or exclamations on things you see as you are riding along. Again its more work ... I would have to review each days audio recordings at the end of each day, but it means you capture more rich detail.
As it was, I had too much stuff already !

Week 37 wrap-up

Monday, April 22, 2013
I'm TERM! This means baby can come any day from last week! I celebrated by packing up for the hospital, and getting all of baby's clothes washed. We were tremendously blessed at my shower, so there wasn't much at all to buy. We picked up a couple of 0-3 month onsies and a newborn outfit or two, but otherwise EVERY other clothing item was gifted to us that we needed.
We are so blessed.
How far along?
37 weeks. Baby is gaining an ounce a day (chubba chubba) and that means I am too!
Weight Gain
I've stopped weighing myself regularly. I know that I am within my recommended target, and it was starting to stress me out. I've gained right around 20lbs.
Labour signs
Yes! The little guy is nicely in my pelvis and has moved to the correct position for birth. My body has indicated a few signals that labour could be soon. But of course, soon means within 1-4 weeks!
Week recap:
Great week! It's gone very quickly and I'm very excited to be so near the end.
In fact in just 2 days I'm 38 weeks already!
I'm looking to commemorate this pregnancy in a special way for myself and for my son. It's gone so darn fast, I'm starting to grieve it before it's even over!
Looking Forward to?
Arrival of my baby boy! My birthday is on Saturday- and while I'm not planning anything spectacular, it will be my very last birthday without a baby. And that's pretty darn special.
We've finally got an appointment with the head cardiologist in SA tomorrow. We're hoping he can figure out what is wrong with my husband. It's been a tremendous fight, one that has taken every ounce of faith in me (and all our spare cash too) to stay strong. But we trust and pray that things will be resolved successfully soon.
We decided that next week (part way through 38 weeks) we'd install the carseat. It looks like he might come early/on time so we don't want to wait too long to get everything ready. I just know once I see that seat in my car I'm going to be a hormonal mess.
I've LOVED being pregnant so much, and I'm so so so sad it's over. At the same time, let's be real, I am very sore. I am very tired. I've been blessed with a very healthy pregnancy, with a blood pressure that surprises the doctors and midwives (how can a fatty be in shape?!), and with no hospital scares (for me- plenty for hubby!). But I'm getting to that crucial point every preggo has to hit- the "I'm ready to be done" phase. There is an Afrikaans word that sums it up: I'm just gatvol (pronounced with a gutteral "g") of being tired and heavy and stuck in the bathtub/bed/chair etc.
I am ready to meet my boy. I am ready to start my family. This baby can come.

First off, Happy Early Birthday!
And I am just beyond excited for you! I know you are ready to meet your baby boy and I am just beyond excited for you... I also hope you and hubby get your answers soon, not knowing is the worst and I hope they can get to the bottom of it so your main focus can be focusing on your amazing family, and not having to worry about these things.

Awwww, so close to getting to meet him! Love how excited you are!

Photoshop CS4 for Photographers is an essential course for any digital photographer who wants to master the software's vast array of image enhancement techniques. Professional photographer and instructor Chris Orwig uses his own compelling images to demonstrate how the power of Photoshop can make photographers more passionate about their work. He covers many aspects of the application, such as working with RAW images, using curves and levels, making images snap, and enhancing bland photographs by converting them to black and white. Exercise files accompany this course.
In this movie, we are going to look at another technique that we can use in order to Burn and Dodge. We will be working on the file corwig_wolf_kids.psd. Let's go ahead and double-click that one to open it in Photoshop. Press F to go to Full Screen View mode and then we will zoom in on the image just a little bit. Now I like this photograph, I like the expression, I like the time of day, it's right at sunset. I like the way the shadows work out, I like it but one of the things that I really like to do is I like to darken the corners a bit and I want to do that with this technique which is actually quite useful.
So what we are going to do here is we are going to create a new layer by clicking on the New Layer icon and I'm going to name this new layer corners. Next what I'm interested in doing is filling this layer with black. So I'll go ahead and press Option+Delete on a Mac/ Alt+Delete on a PC to fill with my foreground color because my foreground color is currently black. So again Option+Delete on the Mac/Alt+Delete on a PC. Now that I have this filled with black, I'm going to take this to a blend mode of Soft Light, this blend mode and the blend mode above it Overlay, are two great blend modes for burning and dodging. I'll go to the Soft Light blend mode. Now here we can see that I have darkened the overall image, so I want to limit this darkening to specific area of the image. So I'll click on the Add Layer Mask icon. Now with that Layer Mask visible, I'm going to grab my Brush tool. I'll make my brush nice and big, actually gigantic. I'm going to then paint with black on my Mask. Now this may sound a little bit crazy. You are thinking, gosh there are quite a bit of steps here, where is he going with this? Well, let me show you what I'm doing here as I paint away in this middle area of the image, we have our before and then our after. We are able to darken those corners and the nice thing about this is because it's a Mask, I can then modify it further. If I paint with white, I'll go ahead and press the X key, so I have white in the foreground. I can then reveal more of this burning in specific areas. In this case, I'm going to go ahead and paint around here, and I'm going to make this a little bit of a different shape not quite oval.
Now, I'll press the X key and paint with black, so I want a little bit more light on these guys. I also want a little bit more light over here. So now I have my before and after. Again, subtle darkening of the edges. Now my brush strokes, because I'm using a real big brush, are real dominant, they are too strong. And you know this trick that I like to use quite a bit especially when I'm not using my Wacom Tablet and I'm not using that right now because this is an Essentials title and I'm assuming you may not have that. So we can navigate to our Filter pulldown menu, choose Blur and then Gaussian Blur. What I can do is zoom out, so I can see my Mask.
There is the original mask. I just want to create more of a transitioned effect, so I'll go ahead and blur that and click OK. Now I have my overall before and after. Now, in my opinion, that's a little bit too intense, so I'll go to my Opacity slider, back that off and now I have the before and after. All right, well now that we have this nice darkening around the edges, I still need to make this image pop, I need to make it snap, and I need to add a little bit of contrast in a unique way. And we will take a look at how we can do that in the next movie.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) – New figures show that South Dakota's economy grew by 3.1 percent in 2013.
Gross domestic product numbers were released Wednesday by the federal Bureau of Economic Analysis.
The GDP is calculated as the sum of what consumers, businesses and government spend on goods and services, plus investment and net foreign trade. The figures shown on the federal report have been adjusted for inflation.
South Dakota's 2013 growth rate was above the national average of 1.8 percent and ranked ninth among the 50 states.
The report shows that the state's GDP grew from $39.9 billion in 2012 to $41.1 billion last year.

The Brutalist Playground
- 10 June — 16 August 2015 *on now
This summer the RIBA presents The Brutalist Playground - an exhibition that is part sculpture, part architectural installation, which invites people of all ages to come and play, the Brutalist way. Occupying the entire Architecture Gallery, the immersive landscape is a new commission by Turner Prize nominated design and architecture collective Assemble and artist Simon Terrill. It explores the abstract concrete playgrounds that were designed as part of Brutalist housing estates in the mid-twentieth century, but which no longer exist. They became playgrounds unsuitable for play.
The exhibition draws on features from a number of London estates including Churchill Gardens, Pimlico; the Brunel Estate, Paddington and the Brownfield Estate in Poplar. The playgrounds were often made from concrete, cast into sculptural forms, which presented a distinct move away from previous playground design. They were envisaged as a key aspect of the estate layout and design and as such reflect the preoccupations and social theories of society at that time.
Assemble and Simon Terrill have drawn inspiration from photographs and visual material in the RIBA's collections, documenting the playgrounds when they were newly built and in use. The exhibition installation will recreate visual elements from the playgrounds in reconstituted foam, creating an interactive, contemporary space where the viewer becomes participant and in this way completes the work. Archive images of the original playgrounds will be projected on the walls.
Assemble on the creation of the installation:
"The challenge of reconstructing elements of now forgotten Brutalist play structures within the RIBA gallery is an exciting opportunity for us to explore contemporary issues surrounding play, by looking at the often surreal objects from the past. Working closely with the RIBA collections and the artist Simon Terrill, the interpretation of these spaces has allowed us to ask questions around materiality and the nature of risk in play, while also giving greater visibility to the incredible original images of the playgrounds that can be found in the collections."
Artist Simon Terrill:
"The original playgrounds evoke a disappearing world of concrete mazes and windswept walkways. Like a Brechtian stage set rendered in concrete, they speak to a time before soft play and highly regulated public space. The recreation of these forms is a kind of inverted hyper-Brutalism. Playable structures reveling in the sharp edged bush hammered concrete forms they reference. The surreal edges of the Brutalist aesthetic are seen here in the form of the playground."
The Brutalist Playground will be accompanied by a public programme of talks, debates and film screenings as well as workshops and events for families.

Palladian Design: the Good, the Bad and the Unexpected
- 9 September 2015 — 9 January 2016
This exhibition explores how the design principles of Andrea Palladio have been interpreted, copied and re-imagined across time and continents in very different ways since his death in 1580. With a focus on contemporary architecture, it includes previously unexplored and never exhibited works that put Palladio in a new social context and brings out unexpected stories about the impact of his legacy on functionality and style. It also questions how a style and an approach to architecture that Palladio intended to be democratic is now associated with wealth and privilege.
Suitable for

Concrete: A Cultural History
- 7 July 2015 7-8:45pm
Concrete polarizes opinion. Used almost universally in modern construction today, it is a material capable of provoking intense loathing as well as stirring passions. Its development can be traced as far back as Roman times. However, it was in the twentieth century that its full capabilities became realised. Over the past 100 years architects and engineers have seized upon the possibilities of concrete enthusiastically. Its widespread use in almost all building types we experience has given it a significance and meaning that has - for better or worse - lept beyond buildings into politics, film, literature and art.
RIBA hosts a discussion exploring the world's most emotionally loaded material charting a global love/hate relationship with Adrian Forty (Prof. Emeritus of Architectural History, The Bartlett & author of 'Concrete and Culture - A Material History'), Elain Harwood (Historian with English Heritage & author of 'Space, Hope, and Brutalism: English Architecture, 1945-1975) and William Hall (William hall Design & author of 'Concrete'). Chaired by Adam Kaasa (RCA School of Architecture).
Part of a season of talks and events inspired by 'The Brutalist Playground'.

Last weekend England's rugby squad secured a quarter-final berth at the World Cup in New Zealand thanks in part to technologically-advanced training developed by McLaren, while less than a week earlier Mark Cavendish had become Britain's first male cycling road race world champion for 46 years riding a bike developed in conjunction with the team's same off-track engineering business.
The rapidly growing McLaren Applied Technologies, run by the McLaren group alongside its F1 operations, is just one example of the increasing off-track focus being taken by Formula One's privateers.
Engine manufacturer Cosworth, for example, is already a major player in performance sailing and recently announced they would be supplying their electronics to the America's Cup Challenger of Record, Artemis Racing, with an all-new 'LightWave Processor' to help them prepare for the next competition in 2013.
Cosworth has been a leader in electronics since joining with Pi Research under Ford's ownership (since sold by Ford and combined as the Cosworth Group). It has already supplied boats in the America's Cup field in the past and while the precise detail of what will be supplied remains secret, the fast reactive nature of the electronics used in F1 to measure and control a huge number of elements on the cars are perfect to be honed to meet the similar requirements of this fast-paced and highly demanding yacht racing competition.
Williams, meanwhile, has expanded into a more unusual sporting sphere - that of golfing equipment - through partner 'Williams Sports', which makes use of the team's engineers and technology (and brand!).
Williams Sports used the F1 R&D department to develop a new rubber technology for their RT3 golf ball, which creates a soft feel that still travels as far as a harder ball. They make clubs too, using F1 CFD programmes to hone their aerodynamic shape and F1 materials for manufacture, including 'Densimet' (the world's second heaviest metal, used in F1 ballast and offering a compact weighting system for the clubs) and 'Inconel' (a nickel alloy, used for exhaust parts in F1 and to provide high tensile strength in the clubs).
According to Williams, the initial CFD analysis into the club shape for a driver showed that by introducing a top surface 'trip' and diffuser style geometry to the underside produced a smaller wake and improved pressure recovery - creating 19 per cent less drag and reducing the loss of swing energy.
That golfing partnership was agreed back in 2010, at which point Sir Frank Williams heralded it as the start of exciting times in off-track business for his company.
But while all three companies are also heavily involved in providing engineering and technology knowhow to industry, working on recoverable and renewable energy systems, electronics, structures and materials, it is McLaren that is currently stealing greater headlines with its involvement in other sports.
Their success has been in their ability to not only take F1 design, testing methods and materials into other areas but to apply an F1 mentality that leads to innovative approaches in a range of competitive sports, including a major two-year project with UK Sport covering cycling, sailing, rowing, canoeing and winter sports.
The bike used by Cavendish was developed in conjunction with S-Works and involves the obvious elements of F1 crossover development - including carbon fibre construction to make the bike lighter and stiffer and aerodynamic analysis to reduce frame drag and improve riding style and position.
But it is not just equipment development that McLaren is focused on: the physical and mental elements of sport also cross over with F1's on-track approach - and the England rugby team's training set-up is the perfect example of this.
The RFU now embeds sensors in players' shirts to collect data on their performance on the pitch and McLaren has used their experience of rapid analysis of F1 data to develop analytic solutions that allow coaches to tailor training sessions to improve each player individually - although how influential this is compared to other off-pitch influences remains to be seen!
Ultimately, F1 has long been a sport influenced by both driver and machine but with increasing sponsor involvement and pressure on good performance throughout the sporting world, other sports now have to follow suit to seek out a competitive advantage from every element.
At a time when F1 funding is not as strong as it once was, using the experience of cutting edge technology is perhaps the only way the sport's independents can survive and thrive - as long as their talent is not spread too thinly.

"That's a strong signal that tells you it wasn't just the passage of time that healed the wounds," Walker said. "It was sleep that caused the reduction in emotional reactivity."
And electroencephalographs of the participants who spent the night in the sleep lab pinpointed the times during the night when the chemicals were suppressed. It happened during the REM phase.
The dream phases of sleep allowed the participants to "cope" with their emotions, so when they saw the images the second time they could remember them from the first session, but without experiencing the emotional trauma again, he added.
Unfortunately, for PTSD victims, the pain remains, apparently because the REM phase is not doing what it ought to do. So a soldier who hears a car backfire may relive the terror of a combat experience because the emotional wounds are still open.
For the rest of us, a good night's sleep will at least soften the emotion.
"Mother nature has programmed us with some elegant biology that naturally does its thing every time we allow our heads to hit the pillow for a sufficient amount of sleep," Walker said.
"But we are in a society now that is desperately shortchanging our brains emotional regulation potential because we don't allow ourselves sufficient sleep.
"The average now seems to be below seven hours for the U.S. That's frightening."

A Pound of Quarters vs. a Pound of Dimes: Which Is Heavier, and Which Is Worth More?
Colm Mulcahy | Posted 03.04.2013 | Science
The first question seems unambiguous and straightforward, right? Bear in mind, however, the difficulty one experiences in real life when trying to purchase exactly one pound of bananas or peaches. Presumably the second can be settled if we can get our hands on the relevant figures.
In front of you is a pot of coffee and a jug of cream. You transfer one teaspoon of cream from the jug to the pot, then one teaspoon of liquid from the pot back to the jug. Which is greater: the amount of coffee in the jug or the amount of cream in the pot?

Photoshop is one of the world's most powerful image editors, and it can be daunting to try to use skillfully. Photoshop CS4 One-on-One: Advanced, the second part of the popular and comprehensive series, follows internationally renowned Photoshop guru Deke McClelland as he dives into the workings of Photoshop. He explores such digital-age wonders as the Levels and Curves commands, edge-detection filters, advanced compositing techniques, vector-based text, the Liquify filter, and Camera Raw. Deke also teaches tried-and-true methods for sharpening details, smoothing over wrinkles and imperfections, and enhancing colors without harming the original image. Exercise files accompany the course.
Recommended prerequisite: Photoshop CS4 One-on-One: Fundamentals.
Download Deke's customized keyboard layouts and color settings for Photoshop from the Exercise Files tab.
Okay, I'm still working inside of Yummy juice.psd. I have got two styles that I have created. They are not part of this image. You will have had to make them in the previous exercise to see them in the Styles palette and they include Liquid effect and also Beveled letters and now what I'm going to do is take the styles and apply them to the spokesboy layer right here. So that we can see how they behave and also how to modify the results. So I'll go ahead and twirl open this layer that includes spokesboy so that we can see all of the effects that are applied. I've got a Drop Shadow and the Inner Shadow and the Color Overlay. And you should note that, because Logo has a Drop Shadow, an Outer Glow and Bevel and Emboss. So it has two different styles, one the same, or at least one overlapping style, I should say.
And then Splatter has Drop Shadow and Inner Shadow. So two overlapping styles and then Bevel and Emboss, which is different. All right, and this becomes important in just a moment you will see. I Click on spokesboy and now let's go ahead and Click on the Liquid effect which we think is so orange, but notice, as soon as I Click on it, the orangeness in Max goes away, because we just got rid of the Color Overlay and that was the only thing about Max that was least bit orange. So now we have the Drop Shadow, Inner Shadow and Bevel and Emboss that are associated with Liquid effect and we lost the unique item, which was the Color Overlay. And we also have gone ahead and set Max to Screen, the Screen blend mode in a Fill value of 85%. I was telling you in a previous exercise, right? That the fact that this guy had Normal and 100% Fill is meaningless because if I now turn around and assign Beveled letters to this layer by Clicking on it, I'll change the Drop Shadow for a different Drop Shadow.
I will switch out Inner Shadow for Outer Glow and I'll change out the kind of Bevel and Emboss that's been applied, but it's still Screen and its still Fill 85%, even though I directed that effect to go ahead and save Normal at 100% Fill. It just didn't do it, because it ignores anything that's typical which is too darn bad. But anyway, this is what Max looks like when he is rendered out the screened logo effect. So it looks pretty ghostly actually. So I'll go ahead and undo that by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Z, Command+Option+Z on the Mac. There he is rendered in liquid, which is pretty cool. Ctrl+Alt+Z, Command+ Option+Z on the Mac to reinstate the original Max. Now here is something interesting, I think I have mentioned this before, but you have to keep your eye on the Layers palette. When you back step, Photoshop also will take you back to the layer that was active at that state. So you have to go back down and reselect spokesboy.
That will really bite you in the neck, if you don't watch out for that one. All right, so you can also in addition to replacing styles, you can add to them. So any styles that are the same will get replaced, because you can't have two Drop Shadows. So one Drop Shadow has to be replaced with the other Drop Shadow. But anything that's unique will remain like Color Overlay. Okay, so let's try that out. And you do that by pressing the Shift key and Clicking on one of these styles. So if you Shift+Click on the Liquid Effect style for example, you will go ahead and replace Drop Shadow and Inner Shadow, add Bevel and Emboss, and keep Color Overlay. And then you get an orange version of the very scary and mysterious liquid max right there.
Now notice that we have a total of four layer effects. That's because two of them were shared. All right, so I'm going to go ahead and press Ctrl+Z, Command+Z on a Mac. Whereas if I Shift+ Click on the Beveled letters style right there, then I now how five layer effects, because we replaced Drop Shadow. I kept my old Inner Shadow effect. I added Outer Glow, I added Bevel and Emboss and I kept my old Color Overlay, then we end up getting this version of Max right there, which is cool. He is kind of wrapped in something. He is protected. He has his own force field now, thanks to his beverage. I don't want that, but I just wanted to show you how that works. Ctrl+Z or Command+Z on the Mac.
Okay, one other thing that I think is really important. I was telling you in the previous exercise that these styles are saved along with Photoshop. They are not saved along with the image; they are saved as Presets. There is a lot of different Presets. I've showed you tool presets when we were talking about saving out formatting attributes with the Type tool. We've got Gradients that are Presets, all kinds of things. The Contours can be Presets. So these things are easy to lose however. So you might want to go ahead and protect your Presets and I'm going to show you how to save them in the next exercise.

Am I screwed? (NVRM: Xid)
The day before yesterday I updated a lot of programs and everything went well. I could use my computer normally yesterday but today when I started it I could not play movies if the player used xvideo. I found the following errors in logs:
(WW) NVIDIA(0): The NVIDIA X driver has encountered too many errors. Falling
(WW) NVIDIA(0): back to legacy PCI mode.
and dmesg:
NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 13, 0000 01019700 00004097 00001754 00000000 00000002
NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 1, Channel 00000000 Method 00000060 Data 0101020c (lots of these)
I'm guessing this is a hardware error. I had an old geforce 2 card which hung my Xserver with some Xid error in the syslog and I had to replace the card to fix the error. I have not made any hardware changes or software changes since the computer was working. Everything seems to work except xvideo. I get a blank video player and an unresponsive system when I try. Are there any test I could run or should I just look for a new card?
System info:
amd x2, smp system
GeForce 6600LE PCIe (passive cooling)
dist gentoo
mobo asus a8n-sli premium
Re: Am I screwed? (NVRM: Xid)
Re: Am I screwed? (NVRM: Xid)
The error turned out to be a little more elusive than I first thought. The error occurred two times in a row so I thought it was always reproducible but I was wrong. Everything worked fine for two days until today. Again the same error but when I reboot to get a bugreport with logverbose it's gone. I'm going to run with logverbose on from now on until it occurs again.
Re: Am I screwed? (NVRM: Xid)
I have experienced the same problem, but there is no specific way to reproduce it again.
It has happened several times when I ran 2 independent XVideo applications.
I will post a bugreport when it happens again.
Re: Am I screwed? (NVRM: Xid)
The error occurred again today and I was able to get a bug-report. I put it here: http://www-und.ida.liu.se/~tholi945/...bug-report.log
the /var/log/messages looks worse than it is. I got this card a year ago. All the other Xid are from the old card. The Xorg.conf is a little messy but I use the geforce card for my primary screen and a voodoo3 for an other screen running in xinerama.
Re: Am I screwed? (NVRM: Xid)
Does this problem persist if you're not using the Voodoo3 card?
Does this problem persist if you're not using the ConnectedMonitor option?
Does this problem persist with a stable, released kernel?
Have you verified that you're using the latest motherboard BIOS?
Re: Am I screwed? (NVRM: Xid)
I sent you a bugreport some time ago (likely right after the Christmas) but later I told you it was fixed in the new driver version. Well, I was wrong, I just didn't know that there was no specific way to reproduce this bug.
Re: Am I screwed? (NVRM: Xid)
How is a GeForce 7950 GX2 involved here?
Specifically how can the problem be reproduced?
Re: Am I screwed? (NVRM: Xid)
A small status update:
Does this problem persist if you're not using the ConnectedMonitor option: Yes
Does this problem persist with a stable, released kernel: Yes. I'm now running 2.6.20-final (probably not what you meant by stable).
Have you verified that you're using the latest motherboard BIOS: I have upgraded to the most recent version.
I haven't tried to disable the voodoo card yet. It's a pita to use a monohead setup.
If you had to follow your gut feeling would you say hardware or software error?
Note: The error seems to occur the first time the xv extension is initiated after a restart. If it fails it will always fail and if it succeeds it will always work until the next restart.
Re: Am I screwed? (NVRM: Xid)
I don't have a gut feeling right now, however disabling the Voodoo card would be a useful experiment.

Syrian children are using bomb explosions for what??
An activist in the opposition-held part of the city, Mohammed al-Khatieb, told AFP: "There is water sometimes, but it is in short supply, and there are frequent cuts."
Khatieb also blamed shortages in opposition-held areas on regime bombings that damage or destroy key water pumps, as well as electricity shortages which make pumping water impossible.
There have also been severe water shortages in the regime-held parts of Aleppo, however.
Last week, a priest of the Freres Maristes congregation published an open letter appealing for help for war-ravaged Aleppo, where he said "the situation has become untenable". In his letter, published online, Georges Sabe said: "Since 2 June 2014, an entire city has been deprived of water... The city and its inhabitants, over two million persons, are deprived... deprived of water."
Since a major rebel onslaught in July 2012, Aleppo has been divided into rebel-controlled and regime-held areas.

Dan Slott still has it in him and he's still a good job with Superior as it is, but I still hold JMS as my favourite Spider-Man writer and I'd go as far as to say that Bendis would do a fantastic job as well. After all, Spider-Men was my all-time favourite Spider-Man story in the past several years.

Definitely no. I'm waiting for him to get off the series so I can pick it up again
@wolverine08: You mean Yost? Cause you forgot to say who, but from the Scarlet Spider mention, it seems to me that you mean Yost. In that case, I think it's the majority that wants Yost to run the show.
I would take about anyone else at this point. Until then I will remain without a Spider-Man title in my subscription list (except for Scarlet Spider).
I know it hurts that Peter is gone, but assuming he'll be back soon (really, how long is Marvel going to keep their most popular character dead?), I'd like to see where Dan Slot is going with this. I've always enjoyed his writing, and Superior hasn't disappointed me so far, despite Peter's demise. And seriously, Peter WILL be back, even if it's after Dan Slott's run, so I'm no to worried on that front. Stupid Marvel and their pointless deaths.
As for the suggestion of Yost writing Spidey? He'd probably do a good job, but I don't want a premature end to Slot's run. I want to see his master plan.

Eh, for like a couple issues. I don't think Slott is that bad.
I liked New Ways to Die, The Gauntlet, Grim Hunt and Ends of the Earth.
To be honest though, I'm really kind of bored with his run now. Give someone else a chance like Christopher Yost, Brian Michael Bendis or hell as Greg Weisman if he'd be interested in writing Spidey comics. (It wont happen but I'd love JMS and/or Peter David coming back).

I wouldn't mind seeing Yost take over writing Superior should it get relaunched or something following #31. That being said I love Slott writing Spidey. I think he's one of the best Spider-Man writers around and beyond Stan Lee's stuff in the beginning I can't really think of an extended run of Amazing that I like all that much besides Slott's.

Dr. Wiet is one of the best physicians I have met and I've met a fair number. He spends time with you. He educates you on both your condition and your treatment options. He responds to questions thoughtfully without rushing you. He has experience with Superior Canal Dehiscence Syndrome, which is the super-rare ear disorder with which I was diagnosed. He's incredibly competent. He's kind/his bedside manner is impeccable.
My husband had an acoustic neuroma which was removed in February 2011. We thought Dr. Wiet did an excellent job. He took much time with us in his office and was quick to answer any questions we had. We felt extremely comfortable with him and surgery was successful.
I had an injury to my ear that had resulted in some pain. As a professional musician, I was concerned and wanted to make sure all was ok. Even though they were aware I was a musician, they gave me an acoustic reflex test as a screening tool. This involves high decibel levels directly in the ear canal. The audiologist was flippant about my concerns and when I called to say I had ringing in my ears, especially the injured ear, she said "oh we've excited the hair cells". If I had gone to a loud concert, this would be considered a sign of hearing damage. I spoke with Dr. Wiet and he was condescending and arrogant. I would never recommend him to anyone. Perhaps he's a good surgeon, but I would have a hard time trusting someone so arrogant and unconcerned with a patient's welfare. I have hearing loss and tinnitus with "recruitment" in the previously injured ear. I had previously had some slight tinnitus in that ear, but much worse now. Beware.
I recommend Dr. Weit to as many people as possible. His beside manner is second to none and he makes you feel like your his only patient. His is patient and understanding when I was trying to explain my problems. His staff is always courteous and a pleasure to be around.
I was diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma in my left ear canal. Last Wednesday I had removal surgery. The following Wednesday I am walking. Stitches to be removed in 3 days. He saw me every day while in the hospital and actually spent time to talk with me. He is a good man who know his business PLUS had an abundance of human compassion. I am a very lucky woman to have found him. Thank you, Dr. Wiet!
