MobiBuzz: A Mobile Alarm Management System
Team Members:
Chen Feng, Ph.D. Architecture, email@example.com
Yash Kshirsagar, MS Computer Science(HCI), email@example.com
False alarms are a major cause of 'alarm fatigue' in nurses, with percentages as high as 98% at Grady Hospital, Atlanta. They also tend to induce anxiety and stress in patients. MobiBuzz provides a platform through which the nurses and the central monitor at Grady Hospital can communicate silently, yet informing of potential emergencies. The system would sit onto the nurses' wrists like a digital wristband to enable ease-of-use and prevent obstruction to medical tasks.
Problem Statement:
Clinical alarms cause mental stress to both medical staff and patients. The alarms go off in the patient room in Grady Hospital and typically do not propagate out of the room, which not only cannot instantly inform the nurse but also poses a significant stress on the patient. Worse still, most of the alarms are false alarms which easily cause alarm fatigue. How to reduce the noise of alarms while keeping the staff informed is a big concern.
- To eliminate the alarms in patient rooms while keep the medical staff informed via advanced communication device. Whether to retain alarms? -No. As a dominant source of impulsive noise, the alarms impose negative effects on the health, anxiety and annoyance of both caregivers and patients.
- Our system proposes to reduce 'Alarm Fatigue' by silencing alarms in patient rooms and leveraging the use of the central monitor position to monitor for true emergencies and notify those to the patient nurses through our device. The nurse can wear the device like a wrist-band and gets notifications on emergencies which she can choose to view more information about and take immediate action. The device helps communication between nurses and the central monitor and also relieves patients of the constant noise of alarms that may disturb or stress them out.
- Our expectations:
1. Effectively reduces the impulsive noise
2. Significantly alleviates the alarm fatigue and stress
3. Better communication between the medical staff

Heading into Saturday's UFC on FUEL TV 5 event, UFC President Dana White said a headliner between Stefan Struve (25-5 MMA, 9-3 UFC) and Stipe Miocic (9-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) would move the winner into the UFC heavyweight division's elite.
Junior Dos Santos, Cain Velasquez, Alistair Overeem and Fabricio Werdum, make room for the 7-foot-tall Struve, who scored a vicious knockout of Miocic.
Full fight video highlights are now available of the the bout.
UFC on FUEL TV 5 took place at Capital FM Arena in Nottingham, England. Struve and Miocic headlined the FUEL TV-televised main card that followed Facebook prelims.
During his three-and-a-half-year UFC career, Struve has been a consistent winner, but against his biggest-name opponents, he's fallen short. Hoping to shake gatekeeper status, he faced the undefeated Miocic, one of the division's most well-rounded athletes and a striker with exceptionally heavy hands.
Struve ate some shots and appeared to wobble on a few occasions. But he soon found his range and tagged Miocic in the second round with some heavy blows. After Miocic slipped in the round, Struve quickly popped him with a straight right and then unloaded some heavy uppercuts that staggered Miocic and eventually forced the stoppage.
Check out the embedded clip for the full highlights.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (WUSA) -- Days after the Prince George's County School District pulled a controversial video that apparently taught middle school kids it's possible to switch from gay to straight, the man who made that film is speaking out exclusively to wusa9 and Debra Alfarone.
Christopher Doyle asks, "Why would we want to withhold information to students, isn't that's what America's about?"
Doyle's production company's video is called "Acception," and it's been playing for middle-schoolers in Prince George's County Public Schools for the last year, until this week.
The district says the video was pulled not because it included the concept that, with therapy, it's possible for a teen to switch from gay to straight, but rather because the video didn't focus enough on anti-bullying. Doyle says this all came as a surprise to him, and that the video is centered on anti-bullying messaging.
In the 21-minute video is a snippet that includes "Maria," who's experienced same-sex attraction. In the video, she says, "I couldn't imagine telling anyone that I was sexually attracted to girls, I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, I was so miserable."
"Maria" goes on to say that she confided in her family, that she felt love for the first time from her mom, gained new friends, and changed her life.
Doyle says he's proof gay-to-straight therapy can work, "I had unwanted sexual attractions to men until I was 23 years old. Today, I'm married to my beautiful wife, and we have 2 children and one on the way."
Ellen Kahn of the Human Rights Campaign says there isn't any research to backs up Doyle's claims, and it's not appropriate to tell teens they have a choice when it comes to their sexuality, "There's no evidence whatsoever that you can change your sexual orientation. It's wired in you from the time we're young, and the only choice we have is whether you're honest about it, and you live openly and honestly."
Kahn says there isn't any research to back up Doyle's claims, and it's not appropriate to tell teens they have a choice. To that, Doyle says, "Everyone deserves to live the life that makes them feel loved."
"Acception" is being shown at schools all around the country.

This is a Vulnerability. To view all vulnerabilities, please see the Vulnerability Category page.
Last revision (mm/dd/yy): 07/9/2014
Vulnerabilities Table of Contents
Creating Debug Binary
Debugging messages help attackers learn about the system and plan a form of attack.
ASP .NET applications can be configured to produce debug binaries. These binaries give detailed debugging messages and should not be used in production environments. The debug attribute of the <compilation> tag defines whether compiled binaries should include debugging information. Symbols (.pdb files) tell the debugger how to find the original source files for a binary, and how to map breakpoints in code to lines in those source files.
The use of debug binaries causes an application to provide as much information about itself as possible to the user. Debug binaries are meant to be used in a development or testing environment and can pose a security risk if they are deployed to production. Attackers can leverage the additional information they gain from debugging output to mount attacks targeted on the framework, database, or other resources used by the application.
To identify this vulnerablity, look for the following pattern on the compilation section within the system.web group of the Web.config file at the application's root directory:
<configuration> <compilation debug="true"/> </configuration>
We take the HTTP request:
GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: www.test.com User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:28.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/28.0 Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 Accept-Language: it-IT,it;q=0.8,en-US;q=0.5,en;q=0.3 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Cookie: Token=dfe31f692334663ae9d466662be6d3 Connection: keep-alive
Change the parameters:
- We set the path to "/Test.aspx";
- Add the HTTP header "Command: stop-debug";
- Method set to "DEBUG";
- Remove, if present, the parameter 'ReturnUrl';
Request modified:
DEBUG /Test.aspx HTTP/1.1 HTTP/1.1 Cookie: Token=dfe31f692334663ae9d466662be6d3 Content-Length: 0 Accept: */* Accept-Language: it User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64;) Host: www.test.com Command: stop-debug
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.0 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2014 12:19:45 GMT Content-Length: 2 OK
Follow the request in the browser:
Missing Custom Error Handling
An ASP .NET application must enable custom error pages in order to prevent attackers from mining information from the framework's built-in error responses.
ASP.NET applications should be configured to use custom error pages instead of the framework default page. In the event of an application exception, use the <customErrors> element to configure custom, generic error messages that should be returned to the client. The default error page provides detailed information about the error that occurred, and should not be used in production environments. Attackers can leverage the additional information provided by a default error page to mount attacks targeted on the framework, database, or other resources used by the application.
Make sure that the mode attribute is set to "RemoteOnly" in the web.config file as shown in the following example.
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" />
The mode attribute of the <customErrors> tag in the Web.config file defines whether custom or default error pages are used. It should be configured to use a custom page as follows:
<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="YourErrorPage.htm" />
Related Threats Information leakage is the major threat due to the improper error handling. Error messages provide quite useful information to the attacker that can be used to launch further attacks such as SQL Injection. Below are a few examples of threats because of the improper error handling: A. Error messages can be used by an attacker to extract specific information about the System and Application. B. An unexpected error can be used to crack the application off line thus creating a denial-of-service attack by an attacker. C. Unexpected errors may provide an attacker with a buffer or stack overflow condition that sets the stage for an arbitrary code execution.
Examples Two typical misconfigurations:
<customErrors mode="Off" />
Custom error message mode is turned off. An ASP.NET error message with detailed stack trace and platform versions will be returned.
<customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" />
Custom error message mode for remote user only. No defaultRedirect error page specified. The local user on the web server will see a detailed stack trace. For remote users, an ASP.NET error message with the server customError configuration setting and the platform version will be returned.
Password in Configuration File
The clear-text passwords are in the configuration files. Clear-text passwords in the configuration files are subject to exposure in a variety of ways, including people getting access to the file, the file being served directly to a user due to a server error, a file download flaw, access to a backup copy, or some other exposure.
Risk Factors
Related Attacks
Related Vulnerabilities
Related Controls
- Follow a common and standard approach for exception handling.
- Do not display detailed error messages to the end-user such as Path Information, Database related information, stack traces, etc. In short, disable or limit error messages.
- Override the default error handler so that it should always return a "200 OK" error message. This will reduce the ability of automated vulnerability scanning tools from making conclusions from any serious error message.
- Always provide customized error pages for any kind of error (i.e. Database of application error). Configure the Web Server to redirect to the customized error page in the event of an error.

Video: Police Investigate Killing Of PBS Worker By Off-Duty Officer
Video: Hundreds Demand Answers After Man Shot & Killed
Video: Family Of Man Killed In Alexandria Wants Answers
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (WUSA9) -- Family, friends and neighbors have many unanswered questions about the shooting death of 22-year-old Julian Dawkins, who was killed Wednesday in his Alexandria neighborhood. He was shot by an off-duty Arlington sheriff's deputy, say authorities.
Alexandria Commonwealth's Attorney Randy Sengel is meeting with detectives to see if charges should be filed against the deputy. When Sengel was asked why the sheriff's deputy was not being held in jail, Sengel replied that it is not uncommon for him to still be free. According to Sengel, the deputy is not a flight risk nor does he appear to be a danger to society.
Dawkins' death marks the city's third fatal shooting of the year. The cause and manner of his death are pending autopsy results from the medical examiner's office, say police.
Jody Donaldson, spokesman for the Alexandria Police Department, said officers responded to a report of a shooting around 12:45 Wednesday morning in the 100 block of Lynhaven Drive. Once police arrived at the scene they found a 22-year-old Dawkins suffering from a gunshot wound to the upper body. Dawkins was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Alexandria police questioned Arlington County Sheriff's Deputy Craig Patterson, 44, who lives in Alexandria and who they believe is the shooter. They say he is a 17-year veteran.
Deputy Patterson was placed on paid administrative leave pending the investigation. So far, no charges have been placed.
Police say they don't have a motive or a connection between the two but several neighbors have told us they believe the two got into an argument following a game of dice.
Julian Dawkins was on the phone with Kim Bragg, one of his best friends' mother. She tells us there was no arguing before the shooting. There was just silence and then a gunshot.
"Somebody needs to find out what happened to this baby because a mother has lost her only child. This is her only baby. She has no more kids. That's her only child. He's her only boy child. I can't put myself in that place.
He's a good kid. He worked hard. He worked every day. He's not out here doing anything wrong. He's a good, respectable kid," said Bragg.
Julian Dawkins turned 22 years old on Mother's Day.
The PBS NewsHour and MacNeil/Lehrer Productions confirmed on Wednesday afternoon that Dawkins was their shuttle driver. Officials say he had worked for the NewsHour since June 2010.
"Julian was a hard-worker and very dedicated to the NewsHour," said Linda Winslow, Executive Producer, in a statement on Wednesday. "We are deeply saddened by the news of Julian's death and our condolences, thoughts and prayers are with his family."
His colleagues describe him as a hard worker who was very dedicated to the show.
Thursday, we went back to the scene shortly after 4:30 a.m. and saw about half a dozen of Dawkins' friends. They say they want justice for Julian and said "we want to spend the night with our best friend." They paid tribute to their friend and held vigil outside this makeshift memorial. They put a basketball jersey he had during his middle school years when he was playing basketball and then here's a picture that they took Wednesday with his mother and stepfather.
We are told Julian Dawkins was one side of the fence and the deputy was on the opposite side when shots were fired. The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the Criminal Investigations Section of the Alexandria Police Department at 703-746-6711.

Convergence of Performance Management and Risk Management - Part 2

Convergence of Performance Management and Risk Management - Part 2
the increase of the Governance, Risk & Compliance maturity level at many of
my clients I see that clients start to realize the benefits of the integration
of GRC activities in their Performance Management cycle. Therefore a follow up
on my previous article around Risk Management and the convergence with
Performance Management.
Let me share some insights on Risk & Performance Management initiatives that keep clients busy around Europe. The following 4 items came up in the last 3 months.
1. Cost control and process performance improvement give us the opportunity to embed controls in our process. Lessons learned from Six Sigma and Lean can give us guidance here.
2. How do I manage organizational and regulatory change and monitor the impact on business processes, policies and my risk and control framework?
3. Trending topic is emerging risks, am I able to identity risks that are coming to me over time?
4. Integrated Financial and Risk reporting, an excellent example of 'Where Performance Management meets Risk Management'.
Cost control and Process improvements
Implementing and testing controls has become a huge cost for many organizations. That is why some of my clients are now looking for a way to reduce cost by embedding controls in their existing business processes. This goes hand in hand with the global initiative on cost reduction. While optimizing or even re designing core business processes internal controls are being embedded in the process. What I see is that the organizations that involve process owners and process contributors are most successful. This is an initiative that we have seen before in Lean Six Sigma projects. The only way to optimize processes and to reduce waste is to involve the process owners. Instead of increasing regulatory pressure we should seek a solution in this area in my opinion. Business cases around this have proven to be very successful and savings up to millions of Euros per year have been achieved.
Regulatory change
Regulatory changes are a huge concern of many risk, compliance, legal and audit professionals. How can we monitor these changes and how can we understand the impact on our organization? Taking this together with the fact that policy management is changing from a 'must do' once a year to a continuous process tells us that an integrated approach to Governance, Risk & Compliance is necessary to drive performance. I come across clients that have a monthly Performance Report that shows how they derived business objectives from their policies and how they are performing on a compliance level to these objectives. What risks did they identify in this process and how will they respond to these risks? Organizations realize that they need to understand the correlation between processes, policies, regulations, business objectives, risks and controls and how they might impact each other. An integrated GRC view is the only way to face this challenge.
Emerging Risk Modelling
One of the trending topics among customers is Emerging Risks. Can we model risks that we see coming and can we follow up on risks that are getting closer or fading away? Analytical Risk modeling is an answer to this question. This also let you perform risk forecasting with different scenarios. Interesting question is how the increase of a risk exposure in an operating entity will impact my group level exposure? Risk Analytics, derived from the Performance Management area can help us answer these questions. A financial performance management cycle contains the exact same characteristics.
Integrated Financial and Risk performance reporting
Financial and Risk reporting are standard items in today's Annual Reports, Tax statements, Management reports and Regulatory reports. The big question is how do I keep all of this information organized in such a way that I understand the source of the information, the transformation it has gone through, the owner of the information and most important when information changes at the last moment that all information output contains the latest version? No bigger reputational risk than sending out inconsistent information to stakeholders. Some organizations saw their share price drop with 25% due to inconsistent external reporting. One of my clients has implemented a solution that orchestrates all of these information sources with workflow capabilities and even XBRL output. From a risk perspective this is a great mitigation of your reputational risk and an excellent example of 'Where Performance Management meets Risk Management'.

Governance. Risk and compliance on the iPad
Erwin Boeren 270002C43V email@example.com | | Etiquettes :  openpages grc ipad solvency reporting | 0 commentaires | 1 672 visites
With Cognos 10.1.1 released you must have noticed the ability of having your reports and dashboards on mobile devices like iPad and iPhone.
With these mobile capabilities CROs (Chief Risk Officers) will now have the ability to measure risk from their mobile devices. For volatile risk areas like Market and Credit Risk this can make a huge difference.
IBM developed a risk monitoring system for CROs where one single version of the truth is provided of different risk areas like Credit Risk, Market Risk, Counterparty Credit Risk, Liquidity Risk, Basel II, Solvency II and Operational Risk. Not only does a CRO have the ability to monitor all these risk areas but he can also monitor the correlation between those risk areas and he is able to respond immediately to changes. Responses can immediately be formulated in the integrated social media platform.
One version of the truth and guaranteed quality of your data is simple to say but how do you govern this? This is where IBMs investment in data models starts to pay off. Since decades IBM develops and maintains data models for financial services including out of the box technical and business definitions. This enables organizations to come to one definition of risk over the entire organization. Taking definitions centrally will add value in the process of taking down the silod approach we spoke about in earlier articles. It will also help you in the accountability process of the business. Finally it is the business that should own the business definitions.
As discussed in our previous published blog (The convergence of GRC and Performance Management) Business Analytics capabilities like risk forecasting, risk adjusted profitability calculations, scenario planning and predictive risk analysis are part of this risk monitoring system called FIRM (Finance Integrated Risk Management).
The new regulation for Insurance companies, Solvency II requires organizations to plan their risk assessments and capital requirements 2 to 5 years ahead and to reflect impact on financial positions when a risk materializes. All this means that an integrated approach to risk management is a must. In next blogs we will go deeper into the Solvency II regulation.

Zen Golf offers a fresh perspective for golf and for life. Rather than focus on what's wrong with us (what's broken, flawed, or missing) we can take the attitude that there is something fundamentally, essentially right with us. Through mindful awareness, distractions and negativity can be recognized and cleared away.
Clear, concise, and enlightening, Zen Golf introduces a unique combination of modern psychology, Buddhist wisdom, and professional golf instruction. By applying classic insights and stories to the challenges of golf, Zen Golf shows you how to make your mind an ally instead of an enemy: how to stay calm, clear the interference that leads to poor shots, and eliminate bad habits and mental mistakes. Zen Golf shapes ancient philosophies into new teachings, leading golfers to the effortless focus and unconditional confidence of being in "the zone."
©2002 Joseph Parent; (P)2003 Mental Game Mastery
"Zen Golf is the best book at connecting the mind and golf together. It's for everyone, and you're really going to like it." (Vijay Singh)
"highly recommended"
a great read for any golfer....a worthwhile investment
an interesting read for non-golfers too !
unlike many other books .... Zen Golf has 'stickability' !
"zen golf"
I purchased this audio not expecting a lot, however brillant: sets your mind straight, handicap has improved by 4 shots listening to this
Retired, live in Spain, enjoy golf and bridge, I listen to Audible when doing counted cross stitch.
"the right help"
I'm a high handicap player, since listening to your book my game has improved immensely, I now get over the lake on the first hole and ten days after listening t yor book every day ,I had a hole in one, I'm female and 75 years, so well done to the advice you have given me
"I returned the book before finishing Chapter 2"
This isn't everyone's cup of tea.
I think it would suit you more if you're into Buddha and Yoga and stuff like that.
I just finished Bob Rotella's The Unstoppable Golfer, so perhaps that raised my expectation for this one.
I'm sure it's a good book, but just not for me.
"All golfers read this book"
No matter how many lessons, how many buckets of balls, regardless of handicap, every golfer needs to listen to this book. I had been playing ok, then took a lesson and hit my all-time low. I was heading to break 90 and then couldn't break 100 again. I had 20 swing thoughts every time I walked up to the ball - the lesson wasn't the problem, I was. Until you can take the lessons from this book - to be positive, to clear your mind, to be in the moment - I think it is very difficult to be a good golfer. I used to curse, pound the club into the ground, scream - only to make things worse for my game. This book has made all the difference for me. It is presented in a concise, instructive, calming way that can be applied to golf or life in general. The chapters are short, and it is easy to listen to in the car, on the way to work, anywhere! Golfers looking for that elusive next level will not be disappointed.
"Wouldn't have believed it..."
Never having been much of a believer of the concept of Zen, I chose this book only after reading many articles about Phil Jackson's use of Zen in his coaching. I figured that the man has done some winning over the years so I'd give it a shot myself. I'm 47, have a 6 handicap, and figured what the heck, I've got nothing to lose in trying this for the fun of it. Well, let me tell you - this sceptic has been transformed! Since "reading" this book, my worst golf score has been a 1 over par for nine holes at the course I regularly play. The first time I went out to play after having finished 3/4s of the book, I shot the first 4 under I'd had in 15 years on 9 holes, and the first 5 under for the 18 I'd had in forever. I think this is the type of book that, if you truly listen to it closely, your going to find something there that will click for you as it did for me. Give it a try - you've nothing to lose except your high scores! I've become a believer.
"this can really help your game"
This book does a great job of introducing principles of zen that are applicable not only to golf, but to your day to day life. Relative to your golf game, you learn some great techniques to help manage your swing, stroke and game. Moreover, for those listeners in the East, this is a great listen while the snow is still covering the fairways.
"A Great book for Golfers"
I bought this for my husband, who plays golf several days a week and has'nt been ejoying the game like he used to. I heard him telling his golfing buddy that it's the book that has really helped him improve his game dramatically.
And more importantly he's enjoying himself again.
He's also reccommended his friends listen to it.
"Great Audio it was my first purchase"
The information in this audio can not only help your golf game but also help your life. With proper use and understanding.
"Can save strokes and possibly a stroke, too."
As some have already said in their reviews, you wouldn't think applying Zen or Zen-like techniques to golf could make a difference. Let me tell you that at least for me and the rest of my foursome, it has. Not only has it made the game more pleasant (both in score and attitude) but it has helped reduce the frustration levels of the entire group. Get mad at yourself, someone in the group will tell you "don't be a bad caddy." When I make a double-bogey on the hardest hole on the course, I DO look at it as a "Zen par." You owe it to yourself to listen. After you do, pass it on to your playing partners. After they're done, listen to it again. Reinforcing the lessons helps.
"Gets your Head in the Game"
I have recommended this book to several golfing friends and every one of them has reported at least a small improvement in their enjoyment of the game of golf. Of course, I play golf for enjoyment so that is the best any book can achieve.
I have always enjoyed the ideas of Zen and the presentation here of some key concepts is excellent. Even if you do not play or plan to play golf, this book would be good even if you know someone who does.
"Rick of Orlando"
Excellent read for any golfer. Insights relate to golf and life.
"Till Zen..."
"Zen Golf" is a well written, well read, informational work that could benefit every golfer, whether aspiring or pro. Take a deep breath - relax - and take the time to enjoy and implement these great practices.
- Until Zen, Enjoy
"It turned my game Into a meditative experience!"
I first listened to this book when I picked up golf 7 years ago.... I I liked the concept but I was struggling with my game to get better at it.... just recently I listen to it again and it took my game to a level where it's almost become a religious experience

Today, the MOX project at the Savannah River Site reached 10 million safe working hours – representative of nearly two years of continuous work during heavy construction without a lost workday.
"The first construction project of its kind in the United States, the MOX project is being executed with precision and safety because of the shared commitment between everyone involved to successfully completing the mission while making safety the first priority," said Clay Ramsey, NNSA federal project director. "To reach this milestone during such a heightened level of construction is a remarkable achievement."
Read the press release here.
The May 2012 NNSA quarterly summary of experiments conducted as part of its science-based stockpile stewardship program is now available here. The quarterly summary prepared by NNSA's Office of Defense Programs provides descriptions of key NNSA facilities that conduct stockpile stewardship experiments. These include some of the most sophisticated scientific research facilities in the world including, the Dual Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test (DARHT) facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory, National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the Z machine at Sandia National Laboratories. The summary also provides the number of experiments performed at each facility during each quarter of the fiscal year. The U.S. Stockpile Stewardship Program is a robust program of scientific inquiry used to sustain and assess the nuclear weapons stockpile without the use of underground nuclear tests. The experiments carried out within the program are used in combination with complex computational models and NNSA's Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) Program to assess the safety, security and effectiveness of the stockpile. An extraordinary set of science, technology and engineering (ST&E) facilities have been established in support of the stockpile stewardship program.
The NNSA 2012 Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) Program Symposium was held today in Washington, DC. The event, "Discovery and Innovation for National Security," featured keynote presentations by Dr. Charles Shank, inventor of the DFB laser and former Director of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and Dr. Norman Augustine, retired Chairman and CEO of Lockheed Martin Corporation. Thomas Kalil, Deputy Director for Policy for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), discussed the White House priorities for science, technology, and Innovation. Neile Miller, Principal Deputy Administrator for NNSA, provided a DOE/NNSA perspective of the NNSA TriLab LDRD program.
Red Storm, a massively parallel processing supercomputer, was recently decommissioned at Sandia National Laboratories. Red Storm was part of NNSA's Advanced Simulation & Computing (ASC) supercomputer program and helped monopolize world computing records.
Red Storm was designed by Sandia and Cray, Inc., to address the highly complex nuclear weapons stockpile computing problems. Red Storm allowed modeling and simulation of complex problems in nuclear weapons stockpile stewardship that were thought impractical, if not impossible.
Red Storm was used to run simulations during Operation Burnt Frost, a U.S. military operation, to intercept and destroy a nonfunctioning U.S. satellite before it could reenter the atmosphere and release its potentially toxic fuel supply.

NNSA employees and their friends and families enjoyed the annual NNSA Day at the Ball Park on Thursday, June 7. More than 300 tickets were sold. The Nationals lost to the New York Mets, 3-1.
It was a banner day for two NNSA/NNSS contractors as they were re-certified as Star Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP). National Security Technologies (NSTec) and WSI Nevada Team received their certificates and banners from NNSA Nevada Site Manager Stephen A. Mellington. VPP promotes effective worksite-based safety and health. In the VPP, management and labor establish cooperative relationships at the workplace to implement a comprehensive safety and health management system.
For NSTec this is their fourth Star Certification, which is the highest level under VPP. WSI is in their 11th year of VPP Star Status.
"Achieving this status demonstrates the willingness of NNSS contractors to collaborate for efficiency and establish continuity. In this case, it is in the areas of worker health and safety," said Mellington.

About this font family
Bayer Modern is based on Bauhaus artist Herbert Bayer's universal alphabet designed in 1925. In the spirit of reductive minimalism, Bayer held radical opinions about functionality in typography and design. As master of the Bauhaus' printing and advertising workshop, he insisted that all official materials be printed exclusively in lowercase and in sans-serif. Bayer believed the use of majuscules and minisclues was anachronistic and unnecessary—"the voice does not make capital sounds. Why then should the eye require them?" Among his most functional and popular styles, Bayer's universal alphabet makes use of a simple geometric grid. More…

Friends of the Library
Help Re-establish the Friends of the Library!
After a multi-year hiatus, the East Palo Alto Library is interested in reorganizing the Friends of the Library (FOL) group. We are looking for members of the community within East Palo Alto to help us re-establish this group. The initial group will be called the Friends of the Library Steering Committee and they will be charged with determining the long-term vision and mission, the bylaws, the goals and objectives, the establishment charitable organization status, and will have the opportunity to comprise the group's initial board of directors. In addition, this committee will set the precedent for any future members of the FOL and the direction this organization takes.
What is a Friends of the Library Group?
The Friends of the Library consists of committed community members who have a vested interest in supporting the library. They offer support in various ways; such as, grant writing and fundraising, program development, book sales, and providing information to the community about library events. Most importantly, as the representative of the East Palo Alto community, the Friends group informs the library of the communities wants and needs. The East Palo Library is interested in renewing their Friends of the Library group and hopes to fulfill the needs of the community in new and interesting ways.
2 Informational Meetings
The library will be holding two informational meetings on Tuesday March 22 and Friday March 25th from 6:30-7:30 in the EPA Council Chambers. You can RSVP at the Library information desk. The same information will be given at both meetings.

The period of July 16 to July 22, 1994 was one of the most exciting times in my life. Mankind was able to witness an event (on the planet Jupiter) that we have only had remnant scars (e.g. craters on the Moon and other planets) to study from. I refer to the impacts of the remnants of Shoemaker-Levy 9 over the southern hemisphere of Jupiter over the period of time mentioned above.
My friends and I were very excited to hear about the predicted impact of a comet torn apart by a close passage to Jupiter (theorized to have passed 13,300 miles (21, 400 km) above the cloud tops of Jupiter on July 7, 1992). The now famous team of Eugene M. Shoemaker (04/28/1928-07/18/1997; http://en.wikipedia....Merle_Shoemaker ), Carolyn S. Shoemaker (the most prolific comet discoverer in history with 32 comets to her credit and over 800 asteroids), and David H. Levy (Discoverer of 22 comets, a prolific author (35 books and writer for Sky and Telescope and PARADE magazine), a champion for the science education of children, and a good friend: http://www.jarnac.org/ ). The team, using the Palomar 18-inch (0.46-cm) Schmidt telescope ( http://www.jarnac.or...ar Picture1.jpg ) discovered a "squashed comet" (as described by Carolyn Shoemaker reviewing the Schmidt photographic plate) on March 24, 1993 and announced on March 25, 1993 (IAU Circular 5725; C/1993e). It was announced on May 22, 1993 (IAU Circular 5800) that the fragmented (estimated 21 fragments) comet would crash into the planet Jupiter beginning on July 16, 1994. The S-L 9 comet fragments were designated with letters A through W (excluding I and O which may be confused with the numbers 0 and 1) with fragment A the closest to Jupiter and W the furthest (Unfortunately the fragments were numbered opposite the letters (Fragment A numbered 21, etc.). The comet would reach it's furthest distance from Jupiter (apojove) on July 16, 1993 (30 million miles (48 million km) then head back towards it's destiny (demise) with the king of the planets.

Over the next seven days (July 16-22, 1994) we continued to observe as many impacts (scars) as possible using Jeff's 16-inch Newtonian. One night the seeing was perfect (10/10) and we were able to observe Jupiter at 1,000x and even noted detail over Ganymede! I feel very fortunate to have witnessed this event with friends. I made many observations and transit timings of the impact scars over Jupiter's southern hemisphere over the next two months (until September 18, 1994). It was very interesting watch the evolution of the impact scars as they merged with each other until finally forming a dusky band over the impact zone. It was a fantastic experience for anyone to witness such an event.
The observations below were all made by myself between the period of July 19, 1994 and August 31, 1994. The image on top was made on July 19, 1994 (01:25 U.T.; L2 139.4* and L3 210.0*) using a 16-inch (41-cm) F/6.9 Newtonian reflector (360x). The impact scars visible at this time were (preceding to following) E (17), A (21), C (19), and K (12). The middle observation was made on July 31, 1994 (00:20 U.T.; L2 101.6*, L3 175.4*) using a 16-inch (41-cm) F/6.9 Newtonian reflector (382x). The impact scars visible are (preceding to following) H (14), E (17), A (21), and C (19). Note how Fragment E (17) has become elongated (east-west) compared to the earlier observation and A (21) has nearly disappeared. Fragment C (19) has faded as well. The bottom observation was made on August 31, 1994 (00:45 U.T.: L2 089.1*, L3 171.4*) using an 8-inch (20-cm) F/7.5 Newtonian reflector (213x and 285x). The diffuse fragment preceding the central meridian (CM) is E (17) and K (12) is visible towards the following limb.

Carlos, a really superb report of that most exciting event.
my wife and i viewed the major impact zones through an 18 inch reflector at the local newchapel observatory here in Stoke on trent UK, and it was nice in my C8 too.
in fact there was a long queue of interested members of the public waiting to view through the 18 inch.
Posted 31 July 2009 - 05:44 PM
Thank you for the compliments on my Shoemaker-Levy 9 observations and narrative. It was a very exciting time for all astronomers and the world as we witnessed a celestial event that had not been seen before. I am glad that you both were able to view that special event.

Posted 01 August 2009 - 08:04 AM
Thank you very much for sharing your mini-memoir and sketches. At the time, I only saw media accounts of the SL-9 event. Reading your narrative of the initial observations is the kind of first-person history that I like the best.
Posted 05 August 2009 - 09:12 AM
Thank you for your compliments on my S-L 9 narrative and images. It was a very exciting time for people around the world. The current impact scar (Wesley Comet Impact Scar (WCIS)) brings back memories of that special event in 1994. The best of luck in your own observations of the impact site.

I knew you were sketching back 15 years ago and beyond. I did a little doodling in my observing log then but primarily jotted down narratives of my impressions during observations. I checked and although I observed the impact scars then and marked them on an unrolled ribbon map of Jupiter. I missed a great opportunity to make some sketches.
I read with joy what you wrote above and I have recalled the excitment of those days until the scars faded away. In my notes from that time I added an addendum in September 94 that reads: ".. McMasters Backyard Astronomy column (S&T Oct 94) has 3 sketches of Shoemaker/Levy, one in color by J. Bergeron p.25, 2 by C Hernandez p. 26...". If you have this issue of S&T you can go there and see more of Carlos's sketches.
Wonderful stuff Carlos.
and Rob, some libraries keep back issues of S&T for a long time.

The Shoemaker-Levy 9 impact period (July 16-22, 1994) was a very exciting one for the entire world. Mankind had never witnessed such an event in the heavens (only the remnants (e.g. craters) of impacts). Professional planetary astronomers were informing the public that amateur instruments would not likely detect the impacts. They thought that we may detect a small white feature over the impact site. We were all proven wrong when the impact scars were visible in finder telescopes! I am glad that you both were able to share in the excitement of the event.

Now that I have earned 2 Bachelor degrees in 5 years and will have a real job in the next few months I can now think about other things in my life, like how to educate myself more in other fields. I really want to become more tech. savy in the computer field where I'll have enough knowledge to make a nice side venture for pocket change. I'm not looking into getting another Bachelor degree in computer science and such because I'm not looking to have that as my full time job. (Although I would make a lot more money if I did.) What I am looking to do is get one or two technical degrees (2 year degrees) in the computer science area to be literate enough to go off into different ventures. I want to mod. computers for personal use and maybe retail use, I don't know. But what I do know is I want to be able to UNDERSTAND what I'm doing rather than just copying and pasting a web manual. I also want to know more about coding, right now my interests are in creating web hosting units and making it into a little side business, I'm sure I'll need coding for that to a degree. In any case I want something new and lucrative to sink my brain into for the next 3-5 years while I am working in my other field. That being said, where do you suggest one start when one wants to learn more about "computer science."
Tots. would do her. If this was a manga/anime I'd read it/watch it.

Nice Black & White Map.
A revised version of my Britannia map which I made years ago, one of my first serious attempts at a map.
I've aimed for the period between Ultima 6 and Ultima 7, although the geometry is mostly from the Ultima 5 map. There are elements gleaned from Ultimas 4-7, 9, and Ultima Online.
I started out in Quantum GIS by tracing my old map, switched to OpenJUMP to convert the data to a format I could load into JTS easily, and then processed it though some custom software written in Java using the JTS library. That produced an SVG image with the stipples and an initial tree and mountain placement. I loaded the result into Inkscape to clean up the positioning and add further elements like the labels, and whatnot. The basic algorithm I used is as described in this paper presented at SIGGRAPH 2006 which uses Wang Tiles for high speed blue noise generation. I didn't implement the recursive aspect though as I didn't need it.
The symbols were all either drawn in Inkscape, printed in light blue at 5 times their final size, inked with a sharpie pen, scanned, cleaned up in GIMP, and then auto-traced in Inkscape. Or I drew them directly on paper with a coloured pencil, and then inked and scanned them the same way.
The small font was created the same way: I printed a sheet with reference boxes, wrote in the runes in sharpie, scanned, traced. picked loaded the result into Fontforge, and then largely used automatic metrics generation as I'm not really a typography expert. I did manage to build some ligature substitution for the combination runes like TH and NG. The larger double struck lettering was just improvised over top of the basic one scaled up and doesn't exist as a font. You can find a translation key here.
Most of the games are available on GOG, and Ultima 4 is available for free. I highly recommend them if you haven't played them, except U8 and U9 which were horrible. 4+5+6, 7, 4 (Free)

Nice Black & White Map.
My Battlemaps Gallery http://www.cartographersguild.com/al...p?albumid=3407
This map is fantastic. Black Gate was one of the games I played to death growing up and I really like this rendition of Britannia. Also the techniques you have used to create it are almost completely alien to me which is something that makes the map even more interesting because it looks so good.
I also at least recommend U7. It's cheap and your purchase comes with digital copies of the official maps, which are worth the money alone. =P
This has turned out to be a wonderful map Hai-Etlik! I am in awe of your techniques, just as for Larb, they are alien to me, and it is true that they make this map even more interesting and intriguing to look at.
Hai-Etik is the master of Inkscape, I have yet to see his equal. Great job on this Hai. It was a treat watching it unfold.
Very nice map, and I really like your compass rose! Excellent work on the symbols, too. The mountains look fantastic.
Philip Riggs
Compass Rose Charisma: How to create a unique compass rose to add distinctive personality to your map
Wow, that's some praise there. Thanks.
WRT Inkscape, I didn't actually do all that much that was particularly interesting in it. I just used it to trace and clean up symbols, shuffle things around to their final positions, add labels, and rasterize to the final image. The most interesting thing was probably the twisting path effect.
Over the weekend this map won 2nd place in the Cowichan Exhibition (The local fall fair) in the Computer Art category.
Congratulations! It deserved the win!
Very nice Map, it realy is worth a prize

WHEELING - Returning all-stater Mark Winters scored Magnolia's first 19 points of the game on his way to knocking down 34 points overall. But it was a basket and two free throws cashed in the final 28 seconds by freshman Preston Boswell that lifted the Blue Eagles past Wheeling Central Catholic 65-60 Tuesday night at the nearly-packed 13th Street Gymnasium.
The Maroon Knights held the lead through most of the first half, then fell behind early in the third quarter before rallying to deadlock the score at 60-60 when high-scoring junior Central wingman David Park finished off a sparkling 29-point performance of his own by netting two free throws with 49 seconds remaining.
Magnolia got the ball inside quickly to Mike Winters and Mark's senior brother was hacked while putting up a shot. Although he entered the game just a few minutes earlier, Mike Winters hit the back end of the two-shot foul, giving the Blue Eagles the lead to stay.

The Maroon Knights' David Park (11) dribbles toward the baseline while being guarded heavily by the Blue Eagles' Stephen Rogalski during their game on Tuesday night.
Boswell then came up with a huge steal near midcourt and was hacked from behind while attempting to sail in for a layup. He drained both free throws for a 63-60 Blue Eagles' advantage.
The Maroon Knights hustled into the front court hoping to set up an attempt for a game-tying 3-pointer. After Central stopped the clock with a time out at the 17-second mark, it was Mark Winters turn to come up with the defensive steal, taking the ball away and then feeding it ahead to Boswell for the easy lay in that put the game on ice.
Boswell, the first Magnolia player other than the 6-foot-5 Winters to get on the scoreboard during the opening half, ended with 18 points on seven of 10 from the floor and a perfect 4-for-4 at the charity stripe.
Wheeling Central also unveiled a highly-promising freshman in the mutual opener as Chase Harler came off the Maroon Knights bench and contributed 10 points, including three baskets during the fourth quarter. Along with helping out defensively, Harler converted a huge offense play early in the fourth quarter by leaping inside spearing the rebound and then putting the ball up over of one of the Magnolia big guys for the basket that cut his team's deficit to 51-50.
Both freshman standouts in this game came on interesting Ohio Valley basketball bloodlines. Boswell's father was former Magnolia multi-sports standout John Boswell while Harler's dad was a stellar guard at John Marshall High School.
Winters drained four trifectas, three in the third quarter, as he connected on 11 of 24 shots, many of those attempts coming from long distance. With Winters playing away from the basket, Central was able to build an early lead by dominating underneath the glass, outrebounding the Blue Eagles 12-4 in the first quarter and 26-11 by halftime.
''Rebounding is our forte but we haven't worked on it enough yet," confessed Magnolia coach Dave Tallman. ''We are athletic enough to do it but we have to do a better job of boxing out."
Park opened the contest by hitting a runner and then dropping in a rainbow trifecta. He added a second triple and another from Thomas Stanley later in the first quarter helped the Maroon Knightsjump ahead 19-9. The Maroon Knights top scorer returning from last season, Park fired in two more triples during the second quarter enabling the hosts to lead the court at the break on top 29-23.
''I thought our shot selection was pretty bad early in the game," Tallman pointed out. ''But it got better as the game moved along. Mark was pressing a little too hard early.
''You can see how much he wants the ball and he is not an individualist," Tallman continued. ''He wants to win basketball games so much."
Winters, after scoring 21 of his team's 23 opening points with the other basket supplied by Boswell, caught fire early in the third quarter as did his freshman teammate. After Winters cashed a triple to open the second half, Boswell came up with the first of his several key steals and his layup pulled the Blue Eagles to within 29-28. Another Winters trifecta, giving him 27 of Magnolia's first 31 points, was followed by five more tallies from Boswell, putting the visitors on top 36-29.
Zach Wilhoite later became the first Blue Eagle player besides Tallman's dynamic Tuesday night duo to put points in the scorebook by cashing a air of free throws for a 41-33 Magnolia lead.
Central battled back behind another Park triple and two Brian Felton free throws to cut the deficit to 46-43 entering the final eight minutes. The Maroon Knights tied the score three times in the fourth quarter including the 60-60 deadlock with less than a minute left.
Although disappointed the loss, Central Coach Mel Stephens was pleased with the way his team competed against the highly-regarded Blue Eagles.
''This is a much different team from an effort standout," said Stephens, who has high hopes for a turnaround campaign after last year's below .500 finish.
''We knew coming in that we had to try and contain Mark Winters a little bit and I think he was probably saying over there that he earned every single one of those points.''
The Maroon Knights had three different guys on him, including Park, Harler and Chance Siebieda. ''Even though he scored all those points, all three of them did a pretty good job and made him work for everything, Stephens claimed. ''On some of those shots Harler was right up there with his hands trying to contest them."
''Give the Central kids credit," Tallman said. ''They worked for nine months getting ready for this game like we did. They were well coached and ready to play. I think maybe they hustled to the ball early better. Later in the game, we got after it pretty good."
Tallman also was well aware of the difficulty trying to defeat a Wheeling Central team on its home floor.
''This is a hard place no matter when the game is played. I don't think anybody in the Ohio Valley, including St. Clairsville, would want to open at Wheeling Central. And that's a compliment to both programs.''

Hi all, first time poster here but I've been in the Screenprinting Industry 25+ years now.
My question is in regards to color validation. We've never done a good job of managing color in our Ink Department so it's my job to clean it up.
Our Quality Department suggested I work toward GPI Specifications of validating color via ∆E which I've tested on a few select jobs but the process is painstaking.
Does anyone here validate color beyond the standard eye approval process with a Light Booth? I'm interested moreso in instrumentational color matching such as measuring ∆E (CIE94 spec) with an Electro spectrophotometer.
Also, does anyone actually validate the straight colors coming from the Ink Supplier before introducing them into circulation?

UPS 2Q earnings soar 71% on 13% revenue growth
UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced diluted earnings per share of $0.84 for the second quarter of 2010, a 71% jump over the adjusted earnings of the prior-year period. Global revenue increased 13%, generating a 57% increase in operating profit to $1.4 billion.
July 22, 2010
Despite an even economy, UPS earlier today reported strong second quarter results.
The company said that quarterly revenue—at $12.2 billion—was up 12.7 percent year-over-year, and operating profit—at $1.4 billion—was up 56.6 percent. Earnings per share—at $0.84—were up 71 percent.
UPS added that average volume per day of 14.8 million packages was up 3.4 percent, and consolidated quarterly volume of 948 million packages was up 4 percent, with consolidated revenue per piece—at $10.47—up 7.1 percent. Company officials said that these increases represent higher base rates, fuel surcharge increases, and heavier average shipment weight.
"We continue to see strong momentum in 2010…with improvement across all business units," said UPS Chairman and CEO Scott Davis on an earnings call this morning. "This was achieved despite the fact that mixed economic signals continue to dominate the headlines.
Davis added that despite the debt crisis in Europe, which has created uncertainty in global markets, UPS had a strong quarter there, as well as Asia, which saw significant economic expansion, with UPS export volumes in the region growing more than 40 percent. He said UPS has succeeded in this environment, while also investing to further strengthen its global network. Total international package revenues at $2.7 billion were up 23.4 percent, and total international average daily package volume at 2,184 was up 20.1 percent.
UPS domestic package revenue at $7.269 billion was up 7.1 percent, with domestic package volumes at 12,618 per day up 1.2 percent. Supply chain and freight revenue at $2.164 billion was up 20.6 percent, and UPS Freight, the company's LTL unit, brought in $555 million for a 9.5 percent gain.
UPS's domestic strategy, which was rolled out earlier this year, is also starting to pay dividends for the company, according to Davis. This strategy is comprised of streamlining its domestic management structure by reducing the number of U.S. Regions to three from five and Districts to 20 from 46, as well as strengthening local sales and marketing efforts.
"UPS has embraced the need for change and quickly adapted to the new organizational structure," said Davis. And this strategy, which Davis described as one of the most substantial changes in the company's history, helped result in a 57.1 percent operating profit increase for UPS's U.S. domestic package segment, which had an operating profit of $748 million.
International package had an operating profit of $521 million, up 77.8 percent, and supply chain and freight at $133 million was up 5.6 percent.
UPS CFO Kurt Kuehn said on the call that the numerous changes UPS has made, coupled with investments in its global network, are paying off and led the company to increase its 2010 earnings guidance to $3.35-$3.45 per diluted share—a 45 percent to 50 percent increase from last year.
Kuehn said while average daily volume for its U.S. domestic package segment was up 1.2 percent and ground was up 2 percent, the company is starting to see customers "trade up to premium services" which is encouraging. And he said that the 5.8 percent increase in average revenue per piece for U.S. domestic package at $9.00 is a result of stronger base rates, higher fuel surcharges and a focus on yield management, which, he said, is clearly showing results.
"The U.S. operations team operated to near perfection, with improved productivity, service, and cost management," said Kuehn.
Capital expenditures for the second quarter at UPS were $690 million.
"The great news is that the ground volume is a bellwether of the general state of the economy," said Jerry Hempstead, president of Hempstead Consulting. And those numbers were up substantially. Ground is the engine that drives the UPS train."
One note of caution cited by Hempstead was UPS's average daily package volume for next-day air, which was down 3.9 percent at 845,000. He said that number may be a concern for UPS rival, FedEx, as air is the "engine" for FedEx' business.

The number of U.S. residents deemed Limited English Proficient (LEP) has increased substantially in recent decades, consistent with the growth of the U.S. foreign-born population. This brief offers analysis on the number, share, growth, and linguistic diversity of LEP individuals in the United States from 1990 to 2010 at the national, state, and metropolitan-area levels.
This interactive language access webinar, one in a series offered by the Migration Policy Institute's National Center on Immigrant Integration Policy, examines how New York and Illinois have broken down some of these barriers to proactively engage LEP communities to obtain workforce services.
This report provides an overview of several commonly used translation and interpretation technologies. It aims to assist language access practitioners in understanding and identifying which systems would best meet their agency's language access needs.
The enactment of President Clinton's Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Executive Order, issued in 2000, triggered a proliferation of efforts to provide services to individuals who cannot speak, understand, read, or write English fluently. With increased service provision, state and local government agencies have expressed a strong and growing interest in assuring the quality and cost-effectiveness of language access services. This paper attempts to catalog and describe some of those tools and practices.
This report examines the funding formula used to distribute Workforce Investment Act Title II federal funds for adult education, literacy, and English as a Second Language instruction, and argues that the formula fails to account for the size and needs of adults with limited English proficiency.

A Word about Grades
Start your Job Search
You can and will find a satisfying job even if you do not graduate at the top of the class. Moritz is a highly selective, top tier school with an established reputation for producing exceptional attorneys.
Career satisfaction cannot be measured by firm size or starting salary. It is true that the larger the law firm, the more important a candidate's grades and that judges frequently choose their law clerks from those at the top of the class. Clearly, good grades can expand opportunities and lower grades can limit some options.
Remember, law school grades are not the last word on "opportunity." Students originally overlooked by employers who hire based on class rank can and do eventually join those organizations. Regardless of where you fall in the class, Moritz career counselors can work with you to develop a successful individualized job search strategy.

Nobody asks for problematic skin, but Pevonia Botanica Acne/Problematic skin care system, used daily, can help you cleanse, soothe and heal your skin every day. Following the Pevonia Botanica Acne/Problematic skin care system regimen twice a day, morning and evening, frees your skin of the built-up oils and accumulated impurities, unclogs those poor pores and allows your skin to soak up the natural extracts that will calm and rejuvenate your skin.
In a simple series of steps, the morning application frees up your skin from a night of rest, yes, but also a time of accumulation of naturally occurring but clogging oils. Using the Pevonia Botanica Acne/Problematic skin process prepares your skin for a new day, fresh, clean and buffered from bacterial build-up. Then, in the evening before retiring, use the Pevonia Botanica Acne/Problematic skin system to rid your skin of all the oils and pollutants it has been subjected to during the day. Give your skin deep, gentle botanical cleansing, soothe and calm the hurts and give your skin a chance to heal during your night's vital rest.
A suite of botanical extracts is used in the entire series of Pevonia Botanica Acne/Problematic skin care products. They provide natural, inter-linked beneficial ingredients to cleanse, heal and protect your skin. Hamamelis virginiana bark extract (witch hazel) helps treat breakouts, while Amthemis nobilis flower extract (chamomile) has been used for many generations to treat skin conditions. Cinnomomum camphora wood extract (camphor) and Aesculus hippocastanum (horse chestnut) extract are traditionally applied to the skin to help improve blood circulation.
Starting with Pevonia Clarigel Exfoliating Cleanser, work the anti-bacterial liquid into your skin with your fingers, allowing the soapwort, Saponaria officinalis root extract, grapefruit extract and mild citric acid to cleanse and purify the skin. Follow with Pevonia Problematic Skin Care Cream, a light-textured and oil-free cream to smooth, hydrate and prevent epidermal thickening.
Specific problem areas can be treated with Pevonia Spot Treatment, with anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Applied and left for two minutes, it works to keep skin follicles clean, clear and bacteria-free. Follow with alcohol-free and antiseptic Pevonia Problematic Skin Lotion to refresh and soothe your skin, while preventing breakouts and bacterial growth. The Aesculus hippocastanum (horse chestnut) extract helps revive the blood circulation, while the Hamamelis virginiana (witch hazel) bark extract and salicylic acid treat breakouts.
Before bed, apply Pevonia Purifying Skin Mask to the skin so the concentrated ingredients can work while you sleep. The Aloe barbadensis leaf extract, Panthenol and Anthemis nobilis promote healing and soothing, while other ingredients work to suppress bacteria, tighten and purify the skin.

Common says his beef with Drake was sparked by a love triangle between the two rappers and tennis star Serena Williams.
"At that time, I think it was the Drake-Serena situation," Common said in an interview with VladTV. "I didn't know what was going on with that. And I ain't know if he was throwing shots at me. [Serena] my ex and we're going our separate ways. So unfortunately the war might have been over a girl, but at the time I never said that. It wasn't totally that. It was more of, 'Do you respect me? 'Cause I actually like you as an artist.'"
Common also says he's "glad it never escalated into a physical thing."
In January 2012, Common said the beef was not over Serena Williams, despite rumors to the contrary.
"Well, the song 'Sweet,' for me, was a song where I was really talking about Hip Hop," Common said. "A lot of the softer side of Hip Hop is just being the example of what people think Hip Hop is. To me, you can express yourself in many different ways, but I was just missing that hardcore Hip Hop, that raw Hip Hop sound, and I was just talking about it. The song 'Sweet' was cats out there doing sweet music. Dude must have took offense to it, so he came out and said some things, and once he said something on record, I said something on record."

I'm happy with Zimbra on our Server and the Outlook connector. Works great. Now, synching through "Mail for Exchange" on my Nokia E61 the sync process only touches contacts w/o category or contacts from any sub-folder. All other are not synced. As soon as I remove the category and/or move into contacts root the contact is being replicated to the mobile device.
Is there a setting somewhere to define what type of contacts or which folders to sync? What am I getting wrong here?

Hi All,
I've been noticing that I get a bunch of spam from IP addresses that have no valid PTR record associated with them. Legitimate mail servers are more or less required to have this basic level of DNS functionality configured if they wish to have a shot at delivering traffic to a number of SMTP destinations on the internet. As such, I was attempting to add the "reject_unknown_reverse_client_hostname" restriction to the smtpd_recipient_restrictions line that the bundled Postfix 2.10 install picks up from the main.cf (see Postfix Configuration Parameters for more info) to knock out some of thos low hanging fruit that is clogging up my user "Junk" folders.
I've tried a number of things and can't successfully get this "reject_unknown_reverse_client_hostname" restriction picked up by the smtpd_recipient_restrictions conf entry within Zimbra's bundled Postfix instance:
1) I tried adding this to the zimbraMtaRestrictions list via "zmprov mcf +zimbraMtaRestriction reject_unknown_reverse_client_hostname". I can tell this at least works to provision the setting internally because I get the following response:
$ zmprov gacf | grep reject_unknown_reverse_client_hostname
zimbraMtaRestriction: reject_unknown_reverse_client_hostname
However, "$ postconf | grep reject_unknown_reverse_client_hostname" comes up blank.
2) I tried adding it manually to the the string in the /opt/zimbra/postfix/conf/main.cf and restarting (this seems to get overwritten)
3) I tried updating Postfix directly using "postconf -e 'smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_non_fqdn_recipient, permit_mynetworks, reject_unlisted_recipient, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_unknown_sender_domain, reject_unknown_reverse_client_hostname, reject_rbl_client zen.spamhaus.org, permit'", but this too gets killed after a restart.
Any ideas?

Baltimore Branch NAACP to Receive Thalheimer Award at National Convention
The Baltimore Branch NAACP will be hailed as one of the NAACP's top local units when the nation's oldest civil right gathers for the annual convention in Orlando, Fla, the NAACP said July 12.
The branch is to receive the prestigious 2013 Thalheimer Award, the NAACP's top award to given to branches and units for outstanding achievements.
The award will be presented to Branch President Tessa Hill-Aston for the Baltimore unit's efforts to protect voter rights against attempts to dilute the Black vote, to ensure that immigrants are not turned away from entry into the U.S. without due process, to enhance the re-entry into the mainstream of ex-offenders and to establish a citywide Boy Scout Troop.
"The branch has been extraordinarily busy trying to protect the hard fought civil rights gains for African Americans and to break down barriers to equality for all communities in Maryland," said Hill-Aston.
"This recognition by the National NAACP is confirmation that we are on the right track and shows that the work we're making a difference. We are very humbled to receive the Thalheimer Award again," she said in a statement issued July 12.
The award is named after noted Johns Hopkins University educator and philanthropist Dr. Ross Thalheimer.
