Beveilig uw Windows omgeving met AppSense
Jorrit van Eijk en Gerko van Veen
Oct 9 2015
40 mins
Na het bijwonen van dit webinar weet u hoe u een mobiele IT-omgeving kunt implementeren die door het dynamisch aanpassen van de security instellingen overal voldoet aan de geldende regelgeving. Medewerkers zijn op deze manier altijd en overal productief en in staat de juiste dienstverlening te verlenen. Zo kunnen medewerkers van een financiele instelling niet alleen op iedere werkplek binnen kantoor, maar ook bij klanten thuis volgens het beleid van hun organisatie werken. Medewerkers in een ziekenhuis zijn in staat om op hun eigen werkplek, als ook bij de patient aan het bed in hun eigen vertrouwde omgeving te werken, zonder dat de privacy van gegevens in gevaar komt. En ook thuiswerken kan op deze manier mogelijk worden gemaakt binnen ieder bedrijf dat waarde hecht aan flexibel werken voor hun medewerkers, zonder de beveiliging uit het oog te verliezen.

Java in the database–is it really useful? Solving impossible Big Data challenges
Wendy Hou, Product Manager & Mark Sweeney, Sales Engineer, Rogue Wave Software
Oct 8 2015
46 mins
Since 1999, Oracle has included a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) within the database. That makes it old enough to drive and well past time to get a real job. In today's data-obsessed world, that job is fortifying Oracle's database with a healthy dose of analytics to give your database the power to handle the data challenges of the 21st century.
There are numerous advantages to adopting a 100% Java code base for in-database analytics. Security is doubly enhanced by performing all analytics in the database. The code is highly portable as the identical java classes that run in the database will run on any client with any operating system. Plus the modern paradigm of taking the algorithms to the data is elegantly achieved with minimal effort.
Until now, a single Java solution with all these qualities wasn't available. By using JMSL Numerical Libraries, you get a suite of algorithms with routines for predictive analytics, data mining, regression, forecasting, and data cleaning. JMSL is scalable and can be used in Hadoop MapReduce applications. Now, JMSL Numerical Libraries makes Java in the database more than useful -- it makes it unbeatable.
This webinar walks through the argument of why embedded analytics is better and provides examples using an Oracle database and JMSL. And if you're not convinced, tell us so in the live, interactive Q&A!

Intel Security & BufferZone host Forrester: Moving Beyond The Blacklist

Oct 7 2015
58 mins
For years, most endpoint security strategies have revolved around endpoint anti-virus, but this approach is clearly unable to keep pace with modern threats. To mitigate their risks, IT organizations need to rethink their current endpoint security strategies and move past these reactive security technologies. In order to set organizations down the right path, we will present Forrester's five design principles of an effective endpoint security strategy, helping security professionals to place attack surface reduction and tool integration as their central focus points within their own strategies. Ultimately, this will allow organizations to better deal with the influx of new device types and data access requirements while reducing the likelihood of data breaches.

A Multi-layered Approach Against Advanced Threats
Paolo Passeri, OpenDNS
Oct 13 2015
9:00 am
45 mins
The growing sophistication and evasiveness of cyber threats have redesigned the paradigms of the information security landscape. Since traditional signature-based technologies alone cannot keep the pace with advanced threats, a breed of new technologies has been developed to fill the gap in what seems an endless arms race against malware creators. In the same time, the volatility of the perimeter, direct consequence of the growing adoption of cloud services, dramatically broadens the vulnerability surface of the organizations, requiring a new approach for the CISOs in terms of both technologies and policies.
In this webcast we will analyse the current threat landscape related to advanced malware, demonstrating that, unlike what is commonly believed, it is not necessarily related to state-sponsored operations, but it is frequently used even in opportunistic attacks (and in several cases also available as a P/SaaS model).
After showing the characteristics that make a malware "advanced" (evasion at the endpoint and network level, polymorphism, etc), the webcast will outline the foundations of a multi-layered approach needed to detect, contain and mitigate the threats posed by advanced threats.

Advanced Persistent Vulnerability Management - Turning the table on APTs
Amar Singh, Chair of ISACA's UK Security Advisory Group, Exec. Board Member & Consultant to UK's National MBA in Cyber Sec.
Oct 13 2015
2:00 pm
45 mins
Wishful thinking or a cursory security assessment may have worked in the past but dealing with persistent and advanced threats requires an equally sophisticated and mature approach.
While APT's are on the rise and the use of zero-day vulnerabilities can be one of the weapons for such attacks, reality is that the large majority of incidents – advanced or not – occur using known vulnerabilities. Resolving these is, therefore, paramount to reducing the attack surface for cyber criminals.
Join Amar as he shares his tips on adopting a mature and continuing vulnerability management process that can help organizations reduce risk and be better prepared to respond to APT's.

text: Sony's 16.2-megapixel, 1080i TX55 camera is thinner than an AA battery Technology 25 July 11 by Mark Brown tx-55Sony Sony's latest Cyber-shot camera, the forthcoming TX55, is touted as being the world's thinnest camera.At least among cameras with HD recording and an optical anti-shaking system function, that is. But still, with its slimline figure coming in at just 12.2 millimetres thick, this autumn's TX55 is no chubby snapper. Its depth is somewhere between a pencil and an AA battery.But a svelte waistline isn't the TX55's only selling point. The feature-filled compact can grab full-resolution 12-megapixel still images while simultaneously recording HD 1080i video. It can also stitch panoramas and snap stills in 3D if that floats your boat.Yet another talking point for the camera is a new image-processing system that apparently makes digital zoom worth using. It uses "by pixel super resolution technology" to supposedly retain sharpness and megapixel count in digitally zoomed shots.Digital zoom is usually seen in small and cheap cameras as a sub-standard replacement or extension to a proper optical zoom. For the TX55, Sony is using an algorithm that matches the tone and contrast of pixels in the source image, with the objective of making the zoomed shots clear and sharp.Under the hood, the camera hides a 16.2 megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor, with a 10x zoom range. Around the back, the rear panel is completely dominated by a 3.3" inch OLED touchscreen.The Sony Cyber-shot TX55 will be available in Europe from September 2011. The firm hasn't announced UK pricing yet, but the US model is set at $350 (£215). The compact comes in Black, Silver, Violet and Red. Edited by Duncan Geere Comments This camera is 16.2 megapixels, not 12 as suggested Peter Green Jul 26th 2011 You're quite right. I've corrected the story above.

Larry the Answer Guy: Scouting for the name of Tonto's horse
What was the name of Tonto's horse? — Abilene
This was the sort of trivia I used to know. I can name the Lone Ranger's horse, Silver. Roy Roger's horse, Trigger. Even Dale Evan's horse, Buttermilk. But I had to look this one up.
Tonto's horse was named Scout. Apparently, in some early shows Tonto rode a horse called White Feller or rode double with the Lone Ranger, according to some websites. Scout, though, was the best known horse ridden by Tonto.
A new Lone Ranger movie is scheduled to be released this year, starring Armie Hammer and Johnny Depp. With Depp playing Tonto, the movie has to be better than the 1981 flop, "The Legend of the Lone Ranger."
Readers' questions are answered Mondays through Thursdays. Send them to firstname.lastname@example.com or Larry Zelisko at P.O. Box 30, Abilene TX 79604.

Proposed timber sales strive for 'ecological logging'
MARCOLA, Ore. - Can public land managers ramp up the timber harvest just a bit, improve conditions for wildlife and avoid acres upon acres of clearcuts?
A professor from Oregon State University thinks he's found a compromise.
"This is different than the old days, let me tell you," said Norm Johnson, a forestry professor who advocates what he calls "ecological forestry."
"We're trying to harvest trees in a way that reflects natural processes, the way these forests naturally develop," he said.
Johnson showed KVAL News around a proposed timber sale northwest of Marcola known as "Second Show," one of 6 test sales on federal land in Western Oregon.
Johnson said ecological forestry uses interspersed timber cuts to create openings in the forest while preserving areas of older trees.
"You won't look across 100 acres and see a clearcut," he said. "You'll see openings and then patches of trees."
Conservationists beg to differ and say a clearcut is a clearcut.
"Sort of shaggy clearcuts with patches of trees left that are not cut, but mostly clearcut," said Doug Heiken with Oregon Wild. "The best use for these older forests is to continue on the path and grow into healthy old growth."
It's going to take a few more years before Johnson's new forestry idea can be put to the test. The Second Show sale won't go to bid until 2014. Logging may not happen for another 3 years after that.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL: Wall Hawks flying high again in postseason
SAN ANGELO, Texas - History often has a way of repeating itself.
Fifty years ago, in a town about 10 miles east of San Angelo, a high school football team had its best season ever.
The Wall Hawks' high-powered offense led them to a one-loss season after just four years of recorded gridiron history.
Averaging five touchdowns per outing, the offense lit up the vintage scoreboards of 1960, while their stingy defense gave up a total of just 149 points the entire season.
The Hawks eventually won the regional championship at San Angelo's Old Bobcat Stadium with a 54-30 victory over Oglesby, and they began stocking their trophy case.
In doing so, they set the wheels in motion on a rich football tradition — but, half a century later, one still with no state championships.
This season's Hawks (10-1) hope to change that.
Ironically, Wall's wishbone offense has averaged five touchdowns per outing in its 10 wins, just like that first championship season.
And the defense has allowed only 150 points this year, one more than the 1960 total.
Tonight at Abilene's Shotwell Stadium, head coach Houston Guy and the Hawks will square off with Merkel (6-4), for the second time this season, and they hope history repeats itself again.
In Week 1, the Badgers jumped out to a 21-0 lead before the Hawks answered back with 42 straight points to take the game.
Guy says although Wall may have taken the first meeting, beating the same opponent twice in one season is tougher than it seems.
"It's real difficult," Guy said. "They've had time to go back and figure out what you were doing.
"The biggest key is getting the kids up and not taking them lightly. We had a lot of success on them last time."
Wall enters the contest with some nice momentum coming off an impressive 22-point bi-district win over Bushland — which had a 41-7 record over the previous four seasons.
Senior running back Brent Rasberry rushed for 142 yards in the postseason victory, while twin brother and quarterback Brett went for 123 yards.
Together they accounted for all four Hawks TDs.
Brett capped off three Wall drives in the end zone, while Brent took one score in from 25 yards out.
With last year's one-and-done playoff appearance fresh on their minds, the brothers vowed to not let it happen to this team in their final season.
"We played every down like it was our last," Brett said. "We never let up, we kept fighting and played all the way to the end."
The No. 9 Hawks are a four-point favorite heading into tonight's rematch.
Guy says since the Badgers are familiar with his team's tendencies, execution will be the key to the game.
"We're not changing a whole lot," Guy said. "We feel like we have gotten here because of what we do.
"We'll make little tweaks, but our overall scheme will be pretty much the same. It's taken us this far."
The Wall ground-and-pound attack has powered their success all season.
Six different players have scored rushing touchdowns as the Hawks have run for more than 3,500 yards in 2010.
"But we wouldn't be able to do anything if it wasn't for our linemen and our receivers making their blocks," Brett said.
The Rasberrys have led the charge, each topping the 1,000-yard mark in his final year to wear the Hawks uniform.
The Hawks know how crucial each contest is in the win-or-go-home postseason, especially when you are facing a team who's out for revenge.
"They're a different team," Brent said of the Badgers. "They are going to want some revenge and they're going to be better (than before).
"But we are also better as a team."
Guy knows the Badgers will be out for blood, and keeping his team focused on the task at hand is crucial to their success.
"You can't get off that bus and think, 'We are Wall, and they're going to lay down', because they're not going to. They want to beat us probably more than most of the teams that they've played, because of the outcome of the last game.
"I'm sure they've got a chip on their shoulder, and this would be a great chance for them to even the score."
If the Hawks can take one more from Merkel and catch some breaks the rest of the way, they could be writing something else in the record books.
Brett hopes this is the season that will go down in Wall history as the first to end with a state championship.
"That would be really awesome," Brent said. "I don't think anything could compare with winning a state championship."

Taken a couple of weeks ago on a sunny Sunday trip to the seaside, Joe and I took these snaps whilst visiting Suzie and Luce on a whistle-stop visit to my favourite seaside town. With Nutella filled crepes and a spot of vintage shopping on the agenda (who can resist that Beyond Retro?) we hopped on an early morning train (along with lots of other beach and sun worshippers) for an afternoon of paddling and braving the stoney beach (this is the UK after all)!
Anyway, dressing almost totally weather appropriately for once- I opted for this Dahlia dress (which is also called the 'Olivia' dress- coincidence? I think not), my favourite flats and a bag which was the result of a naughty half an hour on Net-A-Porter and a bit of saving (can you blame me when it's this cool?) I know it's a novelty piece, but having already taken it on several trips to town, it certainly fits all my essentials in- which I'm pretty sure means it ticks all of the boxes! Huzzah!
Also! Joe has also kindly agreed to help me do a little bit of filming this week for a potential video- so I'd love to hear if you guys have any suggestions for videos you'd like to see? I have a beehive tutorial firmly on the list- so anything else would be truly wonderful! Thanks!

With Thanksgiving is almost upon us, not to mention Christmas and New Year's, it's time for the final racking of brains over which stuffing recipe to choose. Every LGBT person I know in L.A. is planning on forgetting the economic and political crisis by going to somebody else's fabulous holiday dinner...or planning their own unparallelled feast. Maybe the menu will include items from the victory gardens that are more and more popular. In the northern tier, gardens are already sound asleep till spring. Meanwhile in the southern tier, gardens are getting ready for a new round -- a cooler season of newly planted items like winter greens -- lettuce, kale, broccoli, etc.
If you live in those almost-frost-free southern latitudes, you might be lucky enough to go outside in the next day or so, and harvest a home-grown head of your own celery. If you're tired of all the fancy New Cuisine dressings, try a variation of that classic old-timey companion to turkey -- celery-sage dressing.

Document Number: 7009Reforms That Could Help Narrow the Achievement Gap - Policymakers almost universally conclude that persistent achievement gaps must result from wrongly designed school policies � either expectations that are too low, teachers who are insufficiently qualified, curricula that are badly designed, classes that are too large, school climates that are too undisciplined, leadership that is too unfocused or a combination of these. This report argues that an exclusive focus on schooling is wrong, and that without complementary investments in early childhood preparation, health care, housing, after-school and summer programs and other social and economic supports, the achievement gap will never be closed.

Releases @ TCC
The Norfolk Foundation grants TCC $350,000 to bolster
state-of-the-art instructional technology
This high-tech
multimedia instruction system at TCC's Advanced Technology
Center resembles what all four of the college's campuses
will have in place soon.
NORFOLK, Va. – (Feb. 1, 2005) – The Norfolk Foundation
has awarded Tidewater Community College Educational Foundation
a $350,000 grant to create state-of-the-art multimedia classrooms
on TCC's campuses in Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth and
Virginia Beach.
Facilitating installation of cutting-edge instruction technology,
the grant helps fulfill TCC's mission to prepare students
in modern learning environments. "With these new classrooms,
TCC faculty will be able to model today's technology use
- resembling what our students will find in the workplace,"
says Scott Langhorst, associate vice president of distributed
teaching, learning and services at TCC.
The grant funds an additional classroom on each campus to be equipped
with high-speed Internet-connected computers and wireless access
for every student. Faculty will be able to use a central multimedia
console capable of presenting audio, video, and computer information
to students. The desktop presentation system is considered to
be among the most advanced systems available in learning environments.
With this technology faculty can present course content using
a variety of instructional methods and media. The new classrooms
include variable lighting to suit different presentation methods
and the ability to record sound from lectures or presentations
on the computer system for future use. Completing the optimal
learning environment, TCC's multimedia classrooms will have
new furnishings in renovated floor space.
The TCC Educational Foundation was one of 17 area institutions
awarded more than $1.4 million in grants during The Norfolk Foundation's
final round of grantmaking in December 2004. The foundation awarded
more than $6.8 million in grants and scholarships in 2004. TCC
was among the largest grant recipients.
Tidewater Community College
is the second largest of the 23 community colleges in the Commonwealth
of Virginia, enrolling more than 35,000 students annually. The 37th
largest in the nation's 1,600 community-college network, TCC
ranks among the 50 fastest-growing large community colleges. Founded
in 1968 as a part of the Virginia Community College System, the
college serves the South Hampton Roads region with campuses in Chesapeake,
Norfolk, Portsmouth and Virginia Beach as well as the TCC Jeanne
and George Roper Performing Arts Center in the theater district
in downtown Norfolk, the Visual Arts Center in Olde Towne Portsmouth
and a regional Advanced Technology Center in Virginia Beach. Forty-four
percent of the region's residents attending a college or university
in Virginia last fall were enrolled at TCC. For more information,

A marine biogeographic assessment was conducted off north/central California to provide analyses and products that support the reviews and updates to management plans for three national marine sanctuaries off north/central California: Cordell Bank (CBMNS), Gulf of the Farallones (GFNMS) and Monterey Bay (MBNMS). This work supports NOAA's environmental stewardship goal to sustain healthy coastal ecosystems by assessing the distribution and relative abundance of the coastal biota and associated habitat.
The goal of the biogeographic assessment was to identify and gather the best available data and information to characterize and identify important biological areas and time periods within the study area, which encompasses the three sanctuaries and extends along the coastal ocean off California from approximately 35°-39°N (Pt. Sal to Pt. Arena). This partnership project was lead by the Biogeography Branch of NOAA's' Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment and the National Marine Sanctuary Program, but included over 100 contributors and 25 collaborating institutions.
Phase I of this project was conducted from 2001-2004; Phase II was implemented to complete and update the assessment of birds, mammals and environmental setting information. The Phase II report was completed in 2007 and the most related products will be available on this website and CD in Spring 2008.
Current/Completed Products-
Three extensive reports, hundreds of maps, summary tables, GIS/data files, CD-ROM & website serving most products.

Purdue University Vision Coverage
About the program
The University provides vision coverage through a program called Vision Service Plan (VSP). VSP benefits help you get the glasses or contacts you need to correct your vision. Treatment of a medical condition affecting your eyes, such as glaucoma or pink eye, is handled through your medical plan.
Who may be covered
All faculty and staff in benefits-eligible positions are covered by Vision Service Plan (VSP). Additionally, all dependents enrolled in a Purdue medical plan are automatically enrolled in Vision Service Plan. Dependents who are not enrolled in a Purdue medical plan are not eligible for VSP coverage.
Vision Plan Details
Vision Service Plan allows the following benefits:
- Eye examination, Once in 12 months
- Lenses, if needed, Once in 12 months
- Frames, if needed, Once in 24 months
Services and materials may be received from one of VSP's member providers or from non-member providers. The following sections describe how these arrangements work.
Benefits when you use a VSP in-network doctor
When services are provided by a VSP member provider, you pay only your deductible and the cost of any extras you want. Tints, special treatments, and specialized frames may be ordered; the additional charge you pay for these items will be at the controlled price available to VSP participants.
To schedule an appointment with a participating VSP provider, call the provider directly and tell the provider that you are a VSP member through Purdue. The provider will contact VSP to verify your coverage and will file your claim for you.
|Patient Deductible

To be eligible for reimbursement, claims must be submitted to VSP within six months after the date the services were completed. You will be reimbursed for the applicable benefits as listed below:

*A $5 patient deductible is taken before the eye exam benefit listed above is paid.
**A $10 materials deductible is taken before the benefits listed above are paid. If both lenses and frames are purchased, only one $10 deductible applies for materials.
Contact lenses
In place of your lenses and frames benefits, VSP will pay $105 toward the fitting and material costs for elective contact lenses. If your vision cannot be corrected with glasses, the allowance will be $165. You are responsible for any cost above the allowance, as well as the $5 deductible for the exam and $10 deductible for materials.
Taking the contact benefit means giving up your lenses benefit for 12 months and your frames benefit for 12 months.
Benefit for computer users
Employees may be eligible for a second pair of glasses to wear specifically while working on a computer. These can be purchased only from a VSP member provider. You must complete a vision requirements questionnaire and take it with you to your VSP doctor appointment. Forms are available from Staff Benefits or your campus Human Resources office. Your copay for the computer glasses is $5. The frame allowance is $90.

Out of Class Testing
Arrangements for these services should be made in advance and follow the general Testing Center Procedures.
Extended Time
Extended Time is offered to those whose documentation substantiates that this service would allow demonstration of their ability, rather than exasperate their disability. In general, students will receive double time of that given to the rest of the class. However, exceptions will be made on a case by case basis.
Distraction Reduced Environment
Distraction Reduced Environment is available for those who benefit from fewer distractions or stimuli from the environment. Students will be placed in a separate room while they test, so they may concentrate better.
Readers are available for those students who have difficulties reading printed materials. Each word is read as it is written, without emphasis on any particular word.
Writers/Scribes are available for students who need assistance with handwriting. As the student speaks each word, the writer/scribe writes that information down exactly. Every word, sentence, and punctuation mark written is determined by the student being tested not the writer/scribe.
Alternate Format
Alternate Format is available. Examples of alternate formats would be: tests broken into sections on separate pages, oral, uses enlarged print, and Braille. Alternate format is a testing service made on a case by case basis. In addition, as the content of the materials being tested reflects the technical standards of the industry, each test may be decided upon on a case by case basis. An example of such would be oral testing rather than written format.
Computers may be used for a variety of purposes such as for essay or long written answers, and penmanship. This service may be made on a case by case basis.

Eye drops are big business, as Americans annually spend billions of dollars on this seemingly simple lubrication. So when your eyes itch or water, how do you select the right eye drop for your specific needs? When you walk down the aisle of your favorite pharmacy to select a product, how can you possibly know which one is the best solution? Let's begin by diagnosing your eye symptoms.
Over-the-counter eye drops are as numerous as eye symptoms. Are you suffering from allergies? Are you experiencing red-eye for longer than one day? Do you just need eye lubrication? Should you be choosing something on the shelf at your local pharmacy, or should you be calling your eye doctor?
The most common reason people use eye drops is because they are experiencing red or externally-triggered irritation. There are a number of reasons that eyes react to their environment. Many suffer eye strain or dryness from prolonged computer use, allergies, a series of late nights out and other problems. For these situations, choose eye drops that contain antihistamines, as they not only help to soothe itchy or red eyes, but they also protect eyes from pollen.
Some eye drops on the shelf are labeled as artificial tears. These types of eye drops provide relief for dry eyes. While it could be caused by activities like staring for long periods at the computer screen, many health problems also have dryness as a symptom; if the discomfort persists, it is wise to talk to your doctor about the causes.
If you suffer from a dry eye syndrome it is best to avoid decongestant eye drops. Decongestant eye drops are normally marketed as relief for red eyes. While decongestants can make your eyes look less red and tired, they can worsen your eye symptoms. Decongestants have a drying effect on your eyes.
While decongestant eye drops are effective at getting rid of redness, be mindful that they can mask a serious deep-rooted problem. It's always best to first consult with your eye doctor to diagnose the cause of your dry or red eyes. Some dry- eye conditions are long –term. In these long-term instances, it is best to use a gel or ointment. Be aware that sometimes gels for dry eyes can cause temporary blurry vision. Follow the instructions on the eye drop package.
If your eyes are swollen or are creating a morning time discharge, you may have signs of an eye infection. If this is the case, you should consult your eye doctor. You may need an eye-drop prescription, rather than self-medicating your eye problem by yourself. Depending on the eye condition being treated, your doctor will know if you need an eye drop that contains, steroids, antibiotics, antifungal, or topical anesthetics.
There are many eye drops that exist solely for the sake of rewetting the contact lenses that are already being utilized. As an added bonus, they often can flush out any debris that get trapped underneath the lens. There are plenty of contacts that are self-lubricating, manufactured by top brands like Acuvue and Air Optix.
Applying eye drops might be trickier than you expect. There is more to the proper routine of administering eye drops, then just squeezing the eye drop bottle. Knowing and understanding the correct application procedure of eye drops will help insure success in gaining eye relief. Below please find a list of steps to follow to improve your eye drop application routine.
If you have questions about this article, bring it with you to your next doctor visit.

I also went out on the limb and registered for the Great Smoky Mountain Half Marathon in September. It's close to my BIRTHDAY and gives me a excuse to be in the Smoky Mountains and run off a few drinks that I'm definitely planning on having for the occasion. This run is part of the Vacation Races which is on my bucket list!! Have you all checked these out??

Velvety and terrifically focused, this delivers a laser beam of blueberry, boysenberry and plum, with hints of allspice and pepper that mingle effortlessly as they come shooting across a bed of very fine-grained tannins. Lingers enticingly for a long, long finish. Drink now through 2020.
The 2006 Syrah Liandra Vineyard is also precocious but with a bit more complexity than the Baker's Gully.
Glass-staining purple. Powerfully scented nose displays sexy red and dark berries along with smoky bacon, pungent herbs and incense. The smokiness carries onto the palate, which offers sweet black raspberry, cassis and candied violet flavors. Suave cola and vanilla notes arrive on the long, strikingly fresh finish. Very elegant wine, and delicious right now.

NORTH KINGSTOWNŌĆöAt TuesdayŌĆÖs first meeting with the new school committee, members discussed the benefits and challenges of implementing full-day kindergarten in North Kingstown. Only Quidnessett Elementary has a full day program currently, and a recent community survey has shown that many parents, as well as school administrators and teachers, are in favor of sending students to a full day of kindergarten.
PROVIDENCEŌĆöThe Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management announced on Tuesday over $3.5 million in open space grants for various municipalities and organizations throughout the state. Locally, North Kingstown will receive approximately $124,000 to help purchase a 5.3 acre parcel on Gilbert Stuart Road.
The land is a wooded habitat resting alongside Carr Pond serving as the home for a number of migratory birds and mammals, including white-tailed deer. According to RIDEMŌĆÖs release, the property is the last open space parcel to be purchased around the pond.

Three years ago, the Wisconsin women's soccer team learned an invaluable lesson at the expense of getting humbled in a 6-0 loss to No. 3 ranked Stanford.
The overmatched Badgers were outshot, 30-4.
But they could take some solace in knowing that Stanford would go on to win 25 straight before finally losing to North Carolina, 1-0, in the NCAA championship game.
The Badgers could also take pride in knowing that they turned around their season after that loss and made it all the way to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament before falling to Boston College.
Not only did it mark Wisconsin's best finish in the NCAAs since the field was expanded to 64 teams in 2001, it was the program's first Sweet 16 appearance in 16 years.
UW coach Paula Wilkins was reminded of that 2009 loss at Stanford the other day while discussing the positives that came out of 2-0 loss to top-ranked UCLA in Los Angeles last Friday night.
This was a far more competitive matchup; it was night and day, really.
Fact is, the Bruins didn't take the lead until the 78th minute and the Badgers were still on the attack in the final seconds after pulling goalkeeper Lauren Gunderson and using her in the box.
Wisconsin got one last shot at tying the game, but it was blocked and the deflection set up an uncontested breakaway by UCLA's Zakiya Bywaters, who sealed the victory with an empty-net goal.
Wilkins liked the way her players responded to the challenge; she liked the effort even more after learning from Monica Lam-Feist what had been said in a postgame huddle on the field.
If the Badgers were going to lose -- to paraphrase Lam-Feist -- they would go down fighting or by "throwing it all out there'' like they had against the Bruins. That was music to Wilkins' ears.
"This team is different than any team I've had in the past years,'' Wilkins said.
That was evident in the UW's season opener, a 1-0 victory over Notre Dame, the 2010 NCAA champions. Lam-Feist's goal gave the Badgers only their second win over the Irish in series history.
The only other victory came in 1989.
"Anytime you get a result against a team that has won national championships and is a perennial top-10 team in the national scene, it's important,'' said Wilkins, who won her first opener in five years. "It gives your team some confidence and makes them believe in what they can do.''
Wilkins emphasized afterward the need "to show people that it wasn't a fluke.''
She made that same point to her players prior to facing Loyola Marymount last Sunday.
"I told them after the Friday game I thought a lot of them had come to California just to play UCLA,'' she said, "and we can't lose sight of being consistent and committed to details in the next game. By getting four goals against Loyola it showed people that we weren't just a one-trick pony.''
The Badgers won 4-2 over Loyola Marymount and improved their record to 4-1.
"The biggest thing I'm happy about is that the players are committed to each other,'' Wilkins said. "I'm really excited about the dynamic they've created -- they really have a strong commitment to defending and attacking together and that mentality is carrying through a lot of games.''
The offense has been pretty noteworthy, too.
Wisconsin has scored 16 goals through five games.
The Badgers had 27 goals in 20 games last season.
"As a coach, you sleep a little better,'' Wilkins acknowledged.
The brunt of the offense has been generated among five players: Lam-Feist (3 goals, 15 shots), Paige Adams (3 goals, 10 shots), Kinley McNicoll, Kodee Williams and McKenna Meuer (2 goals each).
"Any given day,'' Wilkins said, "one of these kids is really good.''
Have there been one or two players that the others have rallied around?
"The upperclassmen are rallying around the freshmen,'' she said, "and the freshmen are rallying around the upperclassmen. It's a mutual respect for each other. Their work rate and energy is exciting.''
That's what she hasn't seen around here in a long time, she confessed.
After falling short of the NCAA tournament last season, Wilkins pointed out, "A lot of the juniors came in and said, 'We want to make a difference' and they really put the work in to build a relationship with the younger players and you can kind of see how they all believe in each other.''
That resolve was strengthened by how the Badgers played against UCLA. "I learned we're not as far off as we think we are, in terms of being competitive with the good teams,'' Wilkins said. "UCLA gave us the standard where we need to be and it's going to help us in training.''
To this end, the next two opponents -- Illinois State and Milwaukee -- will help the Badgers fine-tune their game and raise their level of play in preparation of a rugged Big Ten schedule, beginning with the conference opener Sept. 16 at Penn State.
While the offense has been a pleasant and welcome development, take it from Wilkins that her player's commitment to "defending has really made them a dangerous team'' -- one that may be capable of playing with anybody on any given day.

The sea was tranquil and calm. And then it emerged as if out of nowhere. A giant mass of gray and white burst out from the ocean then rolled before splashing down, raising a mountain of water into the air.
This was a sighting of a humpback whale.
You never know exactly what you will see. Perhaps a sighting of them slapping their tails and flippers against the waves, raising their tails out of the water, or thrashing their massive bodies around wildly. Once in a while, a humpback might even impress you with a rolling jump or flip.
These impressive humpbacks migrate to Costa Rica each year from September to October. Every year, like clockwork, these whales travel from the Antarctic down to the tropics to find warm water in which to raise their young. One of these fantastic creatures is recorded at making a 5160-mile trip in only 161 days with her young calf. This migration is the longest recorded for any mammal.
Well, there may be one exception.
At the same time as these beautiful creatures are following their migratory path to the warm tropical waters of Costa Rica another well known mammal is making its way to the beautiful Costa Rican coastal areas. They are known as tourists.
Only a few years ago Hotel La Mansion Inn, perched in the hills of Manuel Antonio, overlooking the Pacific Ocean began to develop the popular "Whale Watching Package". Guests from around the world would come to the hotel and relax in true paradise, surrounded by a dense jungle saturated with many species of monkey, sloths, iguanas and a wide selection of tropical birds. During the two day stay in the luxury ocean view room the guests are whisked away to Ballena National Park where they are given the chance of a lifetime to go out on a discovery channel style adventure and come face to face with the giants of the ocean.
Harry Bodaan owner of La Mansion Inn Hotel loves to promote these packages that simply show off the natural and unique beauty of the Costa Rican waters. "We have such a rich and abundant array of impressive wildlife in our country, both in and out of the water".
"We love watching the first time tourists, wide eyed and overwhelmed with the beauty this place has to offer".

Kanye will (potentially) set the fashion world ablaze with his DEBUT FASHIONZ on Saturday, so it's time for you to get schooled on all the madness. Here is all you need to know about the dapper rapper's very first runway show:
WHO: Kanye has enlisted a crew that apparently involves British fashion designer Katie Eary, knitwear guru Louise Goldin, Harper's Bazaar Australia fashion editor Christine Centenera, and Central St. Martins professor Louise Wilson, as well as a coterie of CSM students.
WHAT: Clothes that are "extraordinarily expensive" and "virtually unproduceable".
WHEN: Saturday! Saturday! Saturday! At 9:30 p.m. on Saturday!
WHERE: The clothes are being made at a former nightclub in London called Turnmills. The show itself is taking place in Paris.
WHY: Because fashion breaks his heart. Also because "he knows everything about fashion". Also Hermes of verses. And so on.

PIERRE, SD – The competition that puts artwork of South Dakota students in the nation's Capitol is coming up, and the South Dakota Arts Council, in cooperation with U.S. Rep. Kristi Noem, is now accepting entries.
Each spring, a nationwide high school arts competition is sponsored by the members of the U.S. House of Representatives. The Congressional Art Competition is an opportunity to recognize and encourage the artistic talent in the nation, as well as in each congressional district.
The contest is open to all South Dakota high school students. The first-place winning entry will be displayed in the Cannon Tunnel of the United States Capitol for one year. The winning artist will be invited to a reception highlighting their artwork in conjunction with the exhibit ribbon-cutting ceremony. The second-place winning entry will be displayed in Rep. Noem's Washington, D.C., office. Cash awards are also given to the first- and second-place winners by South Dakotans for the Arts, a non-profit, non-partisan agency whose primary purpose is to advance the arts in South Dakota.
The Arts Council will only accept digital submissions on behalf of Rep. Noem. Students should send high-resolution JPEG images along with PDFs of the student application forms to firstname.lastname@example.com. Submissions must be received by 11:59 p.m., Wednesday, May 1. Winners will be notified May 3 and will be responsible for shipping their artwork and application forms to the SDAC office. The South Dakota Arts Council will have the artwork framed and will ship it to Washington, D.C. for the student.
