Common Characteristics of High Performing Teams
Thursday, 19 December 2013
Posted by Alex Ayers
10 characteristics of high performing security and GRC teams.
As we come to the end of 2013 I have been thinking of some of the projects that we have been working on in this time. One area of focus for me has been been working with clients to improving their governance around security and GRC. A key part of that work has been helping them define their target operating models, put in the right supporting organisational structures and get responsibilities and good decision making embedded in operations.
Much of this work is classical Organisational Design (OD) and there are numerous techniques and methods that can be used to assist with this.
Part of OD that is often difficult to articulate is how to really make a team effective.
Teams have to exist within wider organisational structures and what works for one organisation won't work for another. Budgetary, political (internal and external), & organisational factors provide constrains that have to be considered. Naturally our clients want to know what good looks like. Having accumulated a few hundred years of industry experience among the team has it's uses. We are very fortunate to have worked with some fantastic teams so we spent some time analysing common characteristics and behaviours that could be applied to any situation. These can be summarised as:
- Retain core competency. Overall accountabilityfor security/GRC/controls should not be outsourced. Without retained competency it is not possible to make effective decisions.
- Work with a partner with specialist skills to augment internal capability where required.
- Promote a nurturing and sharing environment. Everyone has skills and everyone can improve. 3rd parties and contractors often don't like to share and a good environment is one where that attitude is not acceptable.
- Invest in internal R&D. This a great way to develop skills of a team and generate innovative ideas and solutions to our challenges.
- Maintain strong business engagement. Our remit is enable the business to run in a secure and controlled manner. That is why we do this job and not being engaged with this audience means we cannot perform our job properly.
- Knowing limits. We frequently work with clients who have spent a lot of money trying to do things internally but have not invested in training or external support. Everyone has different limits but recognising them is important.
- Automate transactional activities. It is often cheaper to automate than to outsource and/or offshore. It also means that internal and 3rd party teams can focus on complex and/or value added activities.
- Operate strong governance over 3rd parties. Identify roles & responsibilities, embed standards, processes and procedures and operate contractual penalties for non compliance.
- Work with, not against suppliers. There are several common objectives which benefit all parties when they are achieved. Good governance puts in the framework to support this and manage under delivery by supplier or customer.
- Last but not least, Integrate with risk management and infosec functions. More often than not there is little to no engagement between SAP teams and risk management or infosec functions within an organisation. The years of SAP being a silo'd application that only moves to the beat of it's own drum are over.
I would love to hear any thoughts/observations/things that I have missed. Over to you.
Evolving challenges require evolving skills
Thursday, 12 July 2012
Posted by Alex Ayers
One of our clients recently remarked that our team offer something that their other partners in the security & GRC space don't - We keep them integrated with other relevant projects in their organisation and they are confident that they get the benefit of our experiences from other engagements and clients.
That is great to hear and reinforces my view that we take KT seriously but also got me thinking about how, like projects often are, security knowledge for SAP is still kept in silos.
SAP and the security ecosystem have done great work in getting the message out that as the technology platform improves integration and collaboration, there is the need for strong controls over the technology that supports this. Those controls are not the domain of just one team but from a security perspective we need to understand how they fit together to provide a secure environment.
There have been discussions on some of the SAP forums recently debating the role of the SAP security analyst (and the relevance of certification based on that role).
There are two prevalent views:
- Those who say that they retain a business focus and therefore roles are their domain and that's where they are staying. If SoD and SA checks are OK then things are secure (which will be the topic of another blog soon).
- Those who are developing their skills to meet the challenges of evolving technology and business practices. They view security holistically and while not necessarily being expert in comms, OS, DB, network security etc, they have an understanding of the integration points and dependencies between the components.
The business & technical components of security are not mutually exclusive and it is one of the things that makes this field such an interesting area to work. I do, however, believe that a credible security practitioner must be aiming to wear both hats if they want to be, and stay, effective.

Despite repeated assurances from President Obama and military leaders that the U.S. would not send uniformed military personnel into Libya, four U.S. service members arrived on the ground in Tripoli over the weekend.
According to Pentagon spokesman Capt. John Kirby, the four unidentified troops are there working under the State Department's chief of mission to assist in rebuilding the U.S. Embassy.
Two of the military personnel are explosive-ordnance experts who will be used to disable any explosives traps left in the embassy. The other two are "general security," according to Kirby.
Kirby also made clear these troops are in no way part of a military operation on the ground. They are armed, however, if for some reason they need to protect themselves.
The troops are only expected to be there for a short while. After the assessment of the embassy is complete, they are expected to leave.

I can assure you right now, that we had "boots on the ground" in Libya BEFORE POTUS ever uttered his assurances. We have "boots" in places we aren't even suppose to be GUARANTEED!!

Arizona Cardinals news, rumors and injuries
Cardinals | Carson Palmer receives guarantees
Fri, 12 Feb 2016 06:25:29 -0800
Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Palmer's $7.15 million base salary and $6.35 million roster bonus are fully guaranteed Friday, Feb. 12.
Fantasy Tip: Palmer had a huge regular season before imploding in the playoffs. His 4,671 passing yards and 35 TDs put him among high-end QB1s. He'll play at age 36, but he's a midrange QB1 option.

Cardinals | Darren Fells signs tender
Mon, 01 Feb 2016 12:12:53 -0800
Arizona Cardinals TE Darren Fells signed his exclusive-rights tender Monday, Feb. 1.
Fantasy Tip: Fells was nothing to write home about last season, as Arizona's tight ends were usually overlooked in favor of their talented and deep wide receiver corps. Fells managed 311 yards and three scores, so he should hardly be a blip on the fantasy radar.

Cardinals | D.J. Humphries needs to add strength
Tue, 26 Jan 2016 20:16:56 -0800
Arizona Cardinals OT D.J. Humphries played behind OT Bobby Massie in 2015, but Massie is an impending free agent so Humphries has a chance to claim the starting right tackle spot in offseason and heading into training camp. He needs to add upper body strength, but feels like going against top-notch pass rushers like veteran DEs Calais Campbell and Dwight Freeney will help him.

"I'm just working," Cooper said Tuesday, Jan. 26. "I want to improve. As long as I improve and become a better player than I was this year, and be a consistently great player, everything else will work out."

Cardinals | Carson Palmer expected to rebound
Mon, 25 Jan 2016 19:14:00 -0800
Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Palmer (finger) is expected to bounce back to lead the team in 2016, general manager Steve Keim said in a radio interview Monday, Jan. 25. "There is nobody I respect and appreciate more than Carson Palmer," Keim said. "In a league full of teams who are looking for a quarterback, I'm certainly proud he's our guy."
Fantasy Tip: Palmer got off to a huge start to the season, throwing for 27 touchdowns with seven 300-yard games in his first 10 outings. However, he tailed off slightly in the final six regular season games and two playoff outings, tossing three touchdowns just once while hitting the 300-yard mark just three times in his final eight starts. Still, he has plenty of high-end receivers to make him a fantasy stud again in 2016.

Cardinals | Carson Palmer will let finger heal
Mon, 25 Jan 2016 14:25:51 -0800
Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Palmer (finger) won't be playing in the Pro Bowl in order to let his injured finger heal. He will not need surgery, however. Head coach Bruce Arians said that he didn't think the finger was an issue against the Carolina Panthers in the NFC Championship, but added that Palmer probably should not have played in Week 17 of the regular season because of the finger.
Fantasy Tip: The extra week of rest may or may not have made much of a difference, but the Cardinals did lose by 34 points. Unfortunately, Palmer saved his worst game of the season for the most important game of the season. He'll have plenty of time to get that finger back to full strength before offseason activities. As long as he's at full health, Palmer is a starting fantasy quarterback.

Cardinals | Quiet night for Larry Fitzgerald
Sun, 24 Jan 2016 20:08:44 -0800
Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald finished with four catches for 30 yards in a 49-15 loss to the Carolina Panthers in the NFC Championship Game Sunday, Jan. 24.
Fantasy Tip: His season ended on a down note, but Fitzgerald showed he still has some juice left with his performance in 2015. Arizona has plenty of young receivers waiting to shine, but Fitzgerald should still be a strong WR3 in 2016 and potentially a WR2.

Cardinals | David Johnson ends season on high note

Arizona Cardinals RB David Johnson carried the ball 15 times for 60 yards and a touchdown and had nine catches for 68 yards in a 49-15 loss to the Carolina Panthers in the NFC Championship Game Sunday, Jan. 24.
Fantasy Tip: Injuries paved the way for Johnson down the stretch, and if he is given the lead back role in 2016, he will be a RB1 candidate in all fantasy formats.

Cardinals | Carson Palmer tosses four picks

Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Palmer completed 23 of 40 passes for 235 yards, a touchdown and four interceptions in a 49-15 loss to the Carolina Panthers in the NFC Championship Game Sunday, Jan. 24.
Fantasy Tip: Although his season ended on a sour note, Palmer showed that he can still be a solid QB1 when healthy.

Cardinals | Carson Palmer has finger issue
Sun, 24 Jan 2016 11:45:20 -0800
Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Palmer's (finger) injured finger has been more of an issue than he's let on, although the finger did look better in practice this week.
Fantasy Tip: The finger shouldn't be too much of a hindrance to Palmer, but he does face a tough test in the Carolina Panthers. Palmer ($8,400, 16.8% of cap) hasn't thrown for more than 300 yards in his last three games, so don't expect gaudy numbers from the veteran quarterback, but he's still worth a start in your FantasyScore lineups.

Wang Xuance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a Chinese name; the family name is Wang.
Wang Xuance (Chinese: 王玄策 (pinyin wáng xuáncè), fl. 7th century) was a Tang Dynasty guard officer and diplomat. In 648, Tang Taizong sent him to India in response to Harshavardhana sending an ambassador to China. However once in India he discovered Harshavardhana had died and the new king attacked Wang and his 30 mounted subordinates.[1] This led to Wang Xuance escaping to Tibet and then mounting a joint of over 7,000 Nepalese mounted infantry and 1,200 Tibetan infantry and attack on the Indian state on June 16. The success of this attack won Xuance the prestigious title of the "Grand Master for the Closing Court."[2] He also secured a reported Buddhist relic for China.[3]

It begins with a discussion of what the imperial cult itself was and how it developed, through a look at the precedents for the cult and its origins starting from the death of Julius Caesar. The origin of the imperial cult in Spain specifically is then discussed. The architectural evidence for the cult is then examined. There is a focus on the location and dating of a municipal altar and temple, as well as the provincial temple, which has been the subject of scholarly debate for decades. Finally there is a study of the flamines or priests of Tarraco. This is done through the use of epigraphic evidence to discuss what patterns there were in the career of the flamines to gain an understanding of the type of citizen who gained this role, through their family history (if applicable) and the cursus honorum that they followed through their life. 2015-12-16T05:00:00Z PERCEPTION EVOLUTION: A STUDY OF SIX CHINESE INTERNATIONAL MALE STUDENTS' PERCEPTIONS TOWARD HOMOSEXUALITY http://hdl.handle.net/1974/13837 Title: PERCEPTION EVOLUTION: A STUDY OF SIX CHINESE INTERNATIONAL MALE STUDENTS' PERCEPTIONS TOWARD HOMOSEXUALITY Authors: BING, BAI Abstract: Numerous studies suggest that social context and culture significantly impact perceptions of homosexuality. Chinese international students studying in Canada have experienced both homophobic and homo-friendly social contexts and cultures. As a result, the evolution of their perceptions toward homosexuality is interesting to study and may suggest social and educational contexts that promote more positive perceptions of homosexuals. The current research is a narrative study investigating both heterosexual male (N=3) and gay male (N=3, including the researcher) students' perceptions of homosexuality with a focus on how their perceptions have evolved throughout their time in Canada. Both gay and heterosexual Chinese international students reported a significant evolution in their perceptions towards homosexuality since entering Canada. The evolution of participants' perceptions towards homosexuality started with an unclear and negative perception of gay identity (i.e., beliefs that gay relationships are not faithful and gay people need to hide their identify and live heterosexual lives). Through their Canadian experiences, gay students were validated in their homosexual identity. An optimistic perception came to shape that they were able to open their identity to others, believing meaningful connections are possible to be built through open interactions. Heterosexual students also began to transition their negative perception of homosexuality to start perceiving gay individuals as normal. This normalization of homosexuality was reinforced through their school education and entire social experience. 2015-11-20T05:00:00Z EXAMINING THE ALIGNMENT OF GRADING POLICIES IN THE CHINESE EDUCATION SYSTEM http://hdl.handle.net/1974/13832 Title: EXAMINING THE ALIGNMENT OF GRADING POLICIES IN THE CHINESE EDUCATION SYSTEM Authors: Zhou, Cheng Abstract: A grade is a prevalent symbol used to communicate student performance over a period of learning. Grading is the process of assigning a grade, which can be affected by a variety of determinant factors (e.g., achievement and non-achievement factors), scales, reporting formats, and other socio-personal factors (e.g., subjects, schools, teachers' personal beliefs, and teachers' values). Grading policies, standards, and documents are published to establish and maintain consistencies for teachers' grading practices. However, grading policies are evident across multiple levels within an educational systems (e.g., governmental, state/provincial, school district, school family, school, grade level), which can contribute to diverse conceptions of grading causing potential discrepancies related to grade determination, interpretation, and use. This research aims to examine the alignment of grading policies at three educational levels––national, provincial and school––within the Chinese educational system. This study aims to respond to the following questions: (a) how do national, provincial, and school level grading policies describe the purpose and process of grading, and (b) what is the degree of alignment across grading policies from national, provincial, and school levels. Results from this study found that there are points of alignment and misalignment related to the purpose and process of grading across system levels. Data from this study may contribute to knowledge of grades and grading in the Chinese context, and may also serve as a reference for future grading policies and grading related studies. 2015-11-13T05:00:00Z Embracing Technology: Assessment For, and As Learning in Grade Six Mathematics http://hdl.handle.net/1974/13699 Title: Embracing Technology: Assessment For, and As Learning in Grade Six Mathematics Authors: Gill, Rebecca Abstract: Educational technology, although valued, is often underused within today's classrooms. The following Master's Project outlines the development, and pilot testing of a web-based resource for Mathematics educators who are looking to incorporate more technology into their assessment for and assessment as learning within the Number Sense and Numeration strand of the Ontario Mathematics curriculum. The main research question for this study was: What do educators think about a web-based resource designed to integrate technology and assessment for and as learning, in Grade 6 Mathematics classes? Through a document analysis and a group interview, a small sample of educators evaluated a web-based resource that embraces and amalgamates a note-taking application with assessment for and as learning. Key design features including flexible unit plans were developed using backwards design. Feedback was used to improve and refine the development of the resource. The project is discussed in terms of future development of the website. 2015-10-01T04:00:00Z

Cleanup crew returns discarded Ohio birthday card
MEDINA, Ohio (AP) - A birthday card containing a $50 bill is back with the intended recipient thanks to northern Ohio sanitation workers who spotted the unopened purple envelope in the trash and drove it to the home where it was mistakenly discarded.
Lucy Hamer tells The Medina County Gazette ( http://bit.ly/1f3IwX8) she was stunned and impressed when the workers showed up at her home with the card her sister-in-law had sent her.
Worker Josh Kerns remembered noticing the card in the trash can and says he held onto it and eventually opened it to make sure it wasn't something important. He said $50 is a lot, and it needed to be returned.
Hamer jokes that she may have been spared an awkward encounter with her sister-in-law if she never thanked her for the gift.

Well, another solution you could use that would make the code a bit cleaner without changing the logic too much would be to implement a module which "chooses" which animation should be played based on registered rules and conditions. This is basically what you do here, deciding the animation based on the state(s) the character is in, with the difference that now is hardcoded.
So you could have something like this:
struct AnimationRule { std::set<int> states; std::set<int> excluded_states; int animation_id; };
Each rules contains a set of the states that need to be active and a set of the states that need to be inactive in order for animation_id to be played.
Then you can basically feed the Animation Manager a list of an arbitrary number of rules, using some kind of priority system(could be an explicit number you assign to each Rule, or just based on the order you register them), and the manager would evaluate those and have the first rule that has its conditions satisfied play the corresponding animation_id. That way at least you get rid of all the hardcoding, and you can even encode the whole thing in data files.

Nearly four out of ten Americans say they are currently unhappy with their personal finance situation, according to a recent survey commissioned by TransUnion.
The survey – conducted by JZ Analytics, commissioned by TransUnion – found that 38 percent of Americans surveyed said that they are not currently "financially fit" and are also currently unhappy with their financial situation in general.
According to TransUnion, 43 percent of respondents also said that there was something financially they would like to work on.
"With today's changing and unsettling economic conditions, it is easy for consumers to become worried and confused about how to manage their finances," Heather Battison, TransUnion's senior director responsible for consumer education, said in a statement.
A TransUnion report detailing the findings of the survey made use of current events to offer up a message that consumers should "strive for success in their personal 'finance Olympics'" – obviously referencing the start of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
"Rather than get stressed out over their current financial fitness level, consumers should take the opportunity during The Olympic Games to make sure they have an understanding of the basics to help them go for the gold when it comes to financial health," Battison said.
Tips that TransUnion on how consumers can increase their financial fitness level included:

Good photos missbella.
Zante town has beautiful color tone. I also like the big sea and big sky in this photo. It reminds me of 19th century landscape paintings with their huge skies. But please correct the horizon - it tilts slightly to the left.
I also agree with Em Zed about Lucky Cat: straighten the horizon and crop out the umbrella.

Long term illness and stress getting you down? Apparently not
People who have a long term debilitating physical illness demonstrate mental resilience according to Understanding Society, the world's largest longitudinal household study. The first findings reveal that people diagnosed with cancer, diabetes, respiratory or cardiovascular disease report similar mental health scores to those without physical illness. The survey's findings suggest that those people who may not be able to function well physically because of an illness do not necessarily suffer problems with their mental health - for example with their concentration, confidence and feelings of strain.
Another surprise finding from the study is that over half (52 per cent) of those indicating high levels of distress and anxiety, and therefore identified as at risk of suffering minor mental illness, still report fairly positive overall mental well-being.
Professor Amanda Sacker, Institute for Social and Economic Research, who analysed the findings, commented: "Initial findings regarding mental health may appear counter-intuitive but it is good to see such resilience amongst those with long term physical illnesses. Understanding Society will continue to follow the same people in years to come as they get older. As they change their health-related behaviours and experience different health, work and family challenges this will give us a good insight into the factors that cause mental health problems and how to provide the best support."
Initial analysis of the data collected in the first survey also found that:
Understanding Society is following 40,000 UK households over many years and will revisit health, family life, employment and a range of other aspects of people's lives. The survey is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and managed by the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER) at the University of Essex. The first findings book is published online at http://research.understandingsociety.org.uk/findings/early-findings. Individual chapters are also available to download.
The first set of data from Understanding Society is now available for researchers to use in their analysis. It can be accessed via the Economic and Social Data Service.

Customer ReviewsVang – Verified CustomerJuly 27, 2013
Very poor service. I bought a brand new 2011 Toyota Sienna. First time I took back for State and Emission inspection, I lost my owner card and the insurance card, so I have to re-apply a new one. The second time I took my car in for 30,000 service and State inspection. The mechanic removed my glove compartment to check the cabin filter. He did not installed them back. The cover laid on the floor, the dirty filter on my passenger seat. I called the manager, he said he was sorry and will relay this issue to the manager of customer relations and let him call me, but he never called. What I will do: 1/ I will file a complaint to the business bureau in Harrisburg. 2/ I will tell everyone not to buy and take their car to Lancaster Toyota because they are very very bad for service. 3/ I will make a complaint in the News paper and in the face book to let every to be aware of the B-A-D service in Lancaster Toyota.Lois – Verified CustomerJuly 26, 2013

Because Lancaster Toyota does not stand behind and honor Toyota manufactered parts that are defective . They just wipe it off and tell you that there is no problem and it is normal for battery acid to leak all over the engine components and electrical panel in the engine bay of my 2011 Toyota Tundra . They say it's just venting and will not replace a defective Toyota manufactured part. So if i do not spend the money to replace the defective part myself my truck will be destroyed by battery acid damage.I will never reccomend Lancaster Toyota to anyone for a reliable service station .Verified CustomerJuly 17, 2013

Efficient. Followed through with everything they told me they would do and cost was at or less than the estimate. If an issue was encountered requiring additional time/cost, the dealership contacted me first, provided an addendum to the original estimate and gave me the option to proceed. The surroundings are new, clean and comfortable. Should I not decide to wait on my vehicle, their shuttle service to my office was a "no-brainer."Stanley – Verified CustomerJune 13, 2013

We had a front wheel problem which turned out to be they put the brake pads in backwards. Instead of changing the rotor and fixing they just turned the pads around.

I have noticed during intercourse in the last couple of weeks that my vagina feels swollen, making sex uncomfortable.Ā Today I tried to begin stretching my perineum, and I can barely get 1 finger into my vagina because it is so swollen!! Anyone else?
Swollen vagina, 33 weeks pregnant?
Having a swollen vagina is definitely one of the many normal joys of pregnancy. I'm dealing with hamburger crotch myself. If it gets severe, definitely talk to your OB, but it sounds completely normal to me!

I discovered this same issue today, it appeared out of nowhere. I am a little nervous though because the last time I had swelling that is similar in this region it ended up being a blood clot, that they thought was just a bartz cyst because of how it presented. :/ It's not painful this time at least, and is just swelling, none of the cyst feeling. It's making me nervous. I see my dr tomorrow... I have to remember to mention it.┬Ā ugh.

But the most important virtue of the FairTax is how it makes the cost of the federal government both visible and obviously connected to personal wealth. The price tag for federal spending appears on every sales receipt of new goods purchased. By eliminating all federal withholding and payroll taxes, the FairTax brings federal taxation into the open so that every consumer can first see and then fairly debate the cost/benefit of devoting so much personal wealth to so much government spending. It is a desperately needed awareness if we are to control our government.
The FairTax doesn't pit the poor against the rich or Wall Street against Main Street. While every economic level benefits under the FairTax, the poor and middle class see the greatest immediate tax benefits. If there are losers it is congressional committees who can no longer sell off pieces of the tax code, illegal immigrants and those in the $1.5 trillion a year underground economy who become taxpayers as consumers, and foreign producers who now enjoy a tax advantage over American manufacturers.
The FairTax shifts national taxation away from what makes the economy stronger — work, savings and investment — to what comes out of the economy — consumption. It dramatically expands the tax base so that nearly every American sees a tax reduction. The average tax bill (adding together Social Security/Medicare and income taxes) now amounts to more than 30 percent of everything earned. The FairTax caps taxation at no more than 23 percent of what is spent. In essence, those who spend more, pay higher taxes without exceptions granted by Congress to the favored few who can afford to employ powerful tax lobbyists. Bringing home paychecks without federal withholding and payroll taxes first deducted also creates a permanent stimulus of the economy and shifts taxation decisions to individuals through their consumption choices.
The FairTax protects the poor and middle-class in several ways. First, a monthly "prebate" paid to every American family reimburses the FairTax paid on retail spending up to the poverty level--wiping out federal taxes on the poor including the highly regressive FICA payroll tax. For a middle-class family of four, the prebate allows more than $28,000 of federal tax free spending a year on top of an overall tax reduction. This prebate slams the door shut on the $1.5 billion a year tax lobby industry and eliminates Congress ability to sell tax breaks, complicate the tax code and play mischief with our economy. Advanced economic modeling shows that the poor and middle class are the biggest beneficiaries of the FairTax in terms of tax reductions.
At the same time, shifting away from taxing labor, manufacturing, investment and upward mobility itself will make the United States the most favorable tax environment in the world. This will bring trillions of dollars of private investment, now offshore, into our economy. Without borrowing against the future earnings of our offspring (another case of taxation without representation), these private investments create jobs, better benefits and a new era of economic growth where productive American workers are again in high demand. In addition to attracting huge investments to our economy, the FairTax eliminates the built in tax disadvantage now suffered by American producers that is helping kill off the "Made in America" label. The FairTax is fair, simple and transparent unlike the 67,500 pages of income tax regulations that require more than $300 billion a year in tax preparation costs.
The income tax system is very good for Washington and very bad for the rest of us. Because the FairTax ends the "royal treatment" of those who sell tax breaks from Congressional committees, exposes the cost of the federal government and ends the lucrative tax lobby business in Washington, D.C. it will take another tax revolt to trump the narrow self-interests of Washington insiders. That work has begun. The good and bad news is that a relative few but politically powerful and influential Americans profit richly from the corrupted tax system. With all their profits and power, can they be bested by hometown Americans across the political spectrum? Only if we remember that the first American tax revolt won us the right to do it again.

USA (ended 2014)
It was nice to see Gus try to stand on his own, all-be-it with his old pals to back him up. The episode once again proved that Gus is a smart cookie all on his own and isn't just there as a bouncing board for Shawn's vaudeville routine.
I liked the (near) ending, where Shawn admits he had to fake being high because Henry was too cheap to pay for pain meds... though yet again we saw "Cheech" acting stoned. But I guess they might as well give the fans what they wanted / expected.
It was nice to see Lassie's girl again, I wonder if the relationship will continue. Isn't she getting out soon?
Did "Urkle" say cheese? I know they got the actor to say it on "House" so I'm wondering if they did the bit here too.

Religion, Zionism, and Religious Zionism
Bloch, Ethan D., Tikkun
As the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians moves forward, and the decision on the fate of the West Bank draws near, the religious Zionist movement--now virtually identified with the settlements--has found itself at the heart of the political debate in Israel. Though many in the peace camp prefer to view religious Zionists as "Other," the basic idea of religious Zionism has in fact implicitly been accepted by many mainstream Jews, even those who are not religiously observant, and those who do not support continued Israeli occupation of the West Bank.
The basis of religious Zionism is the view that conflates the modern state of Israel with biblical promises and sees the establishment of the state of Israel as a step in the redemptive process. The widespread implicit acceptance of this idea is seen in the use of the "Prayer for the State of Israel," versions of which are found in a number of commonly used prayer books, and which refer to Israel as "reshit tzmichat ge'ulateinu"--roughly, "the start of the flourishing of our redemption." For many secular Jews, who may never have heard of the Prayer for the State of Israel, support for Israel as part of the biblical prophecy has become something of a surrogate for religious observance, especially when it is part of the notion of Israel as the redemption after the Holocaust.
We need to rethink the relation of our religious beliefs and our support for Israel. Individual Jews should certainly use their religious values when making personal decisions about which political views to sup. port, but should there be a formal, or ideological, connection between religion and state in Israel? I share the hope of many Jews, left and right, that the State of Israel should be imbued with Jewish values, and that it not . become just another "normal" westernized state. But where should the Jewish values in Israel come from And which Jewish values--the chauvinistic parts of our tradition, or the values taught by the prophets and the rabbis of the Talmud, who valued peace, who cared for all of Israel and non-Jews as well, and who argued against zealotry and unnecessary hatred?
The question is not whether Jews should mix their religion and politics when it comes to Israel, but how. For both the secular Jew and the ultra-Orthodox, there is no problem figuring out how to connect religious beliefs with Zionism--each group rejects one and supports the other. For those who both support Israel and engage in religious observance of any variety, the problem of mixing these two imperatives is real. I believe that the mix of religion and politics--the central tenet of religious Zionism--is unnecessary at best, and in fact is quite dangerous.
Perhaps a messianic view of Zionism was needed as motivation in the pre-1948 era. Today, its implicit acceptance unintentionally lends tacit credence to political violence in Israel. Surely the vast majority of religious Zionists, and more broadly those who view the modern state of Israel in religious terms, strongly oppose political violence. Moreover, there is a small, though significant, religious peace movement in Israel, Oz v'Shalom/Netivot Shalom, and newly appointed Israeli cabinet minister Rabbi Yehuda Amital of the Meimad Party has explicitly objected to the injection of Jewish law into politics.
But the very ideology of religious Zionism inherently prevents this separation of religion and politics, just as it has within it the possibility of taking the idea of divine inspiration to its logical extreme, as did Yigal Amir. It is no accident that religious Zionists, originally aligned with mainstream labor Zionism, have moved steadily rightward since the Six-Day War of 1967--which was viewed by some as a miracle.
If the foundation of the modern State of Israel is seen as the realization of a divine plan (which aims for Jewish control over all lands Jews once occupied), then there is little room to be concerned with Palestinian rights, not to mention rights for non-Orthodox Jews in Israel. …

I want to get real. It isn't like I haven't been real or honest but as much as I have shared there is as much that I haven't. Three months ago I felt something shift in me. I had just moved to a new place. People I had never met, a place as far from home as I could get and still be in the states. It was freeing and it was wonderful to be so far away. I think maybe I had thought being so far away would give me a release. I hadn't realized how I had imprisoned myself the past few years. Being in this new environment I think subconsciously I had let myself go and let myself be me. That scared me. Me, is not something I have been in a long time.
Rape. What do you instantly think of when you hear or see that word? I envision violence. You? I don't even like the word rape. I always say sexual assault. My vision is wrong. It is this feeling of immense weight and pressure upon someone helpless. The pressure of unwanted advances or the weight of someone unwillingly forcing you to move and feel things they do not want to be feeling. The way it feels is so different then you can imagine. Sweat and saliva falling onto my face, my chest. The things I felt because I could not will myself to open my eyes. If I could just keep them closed and move to the rhythm of his body maybe this isn't what it started out to be? Your mind races so fast, thinking of so many scenarios to make this a right one. If I could explain the pressure I would! It's immense and not in the way you are probably thinking. Its the racing thoughts, thinking of your next to move like what happens next? Is this even what it was? Did this just happen? I am ok? I am ok. No physical indications of this 'incident'. It's my fault. I did this. This happened because I am who I am, I look the way I look and I encouraged this kind of attention. There is nothing that can make this right or dare I say wrong? Feeling as if I could only find this inner strength to move in a superhuman feat to move in a way you never thought you could. I failed to find this super strength and that would be fail #1. So my feeling ended there, in seconds. It only took seconds for my body to realize this was a useless feat to attempt to pull off and to go away. It just went and for the past 3 and half years, it has stayed away. Stayed away as in; CIA top secret, back of my mind in a small locked box put away. I don't go there and if I do or someone else does I have found many ways to skirt around the topic. It has been almost too easy to place the blame on myself for being alone, drinking(one drink)alone, and for accepting a drink bought by a stranger. Then weeks after it happened and I found myself pregnant, the only thing I I could think was "fuck, this does not happen in real life"…no really, it was really the only thing that came to mind. Once again, this leads into many scenarios. Do I tell people what happened? because at this point, my reality of this part of my life was brief and shattered into many pieces of which I could not place into chronological order as if it was once a mirror and then shattered. Ya, you go ahead and try to put those pieces back together, impossible. There were no words I could say or use to describe what happened. It's only been 3.5yrs. I can't imagine what another 10, 20, 30 yrs will shed light on this experience for me. The past three weeks have been so depressing and that weight…I feel it. I wake up in the middle of the night and that instant panic of pressure surrounds me. It is suffocating. It is a ball and chain. As I sit here and write this, there is this inner fearlessness and will to stand up to this challenge but when push comes to shove I will crumble in an instant. It is sad, deafening and leaves me incredibly useless throughout the day. I am so close to graduation I can taste it but yet another 9 months in this place seems just, heavy. I yearn for the day I can leave here.
Despite that experience in my life…the best thing to ever happen to me was born. I know it seems ridiculous, crazy and I should not put this on someone else but I am not, Asher saved my life. He is what gets me through every day. He did not ask for this. He has no concept of any of this. He is pure innocence and that is what gets me through every minute, every day, graduation and I know at some point I am going to have to find something else to get me through everyday but for now…it is him. And for what little threads I am grasping at I will take this rope, willingly.
This is no longer a repression but a revelation. No more.

At the opening event
A NEW pavilion in a Ribble Valley village has been officially opened with a weekend of celebrations.
The £350,000 Grindleton Pavilion replaces dilapidated facilities on Grindleton Recreation Ground and includes new changing rooms, showers, toilets and a community room and kitchen.
It opened with a party and fireworks on Saturday followed by a football match between Grindleton All stars and the current team yesterday. The pavilion is a joint venture between Grindleton Recreation Ground Charity and Grindleton FC.
