Your Guide to Anchorage Hotels
Travelers who want to stay in a downtown hotel will find a variety of top-quality Anchorage, Alaska hotels to choose from. The city's best restaurants are located in the downtown area, and visitors who book a stay at a downtown Anchorage hotel can find everything they need within walking distance. However, most tourists want to see something of Alaska besides the downtown district, and can easily do so by taking advantage of car rentals in the area.
There are many pet friendly hotels located within the city limits of Anchorage, and Anchorage has an abundance of dog parks scattered throughout the city. Those opting for a stay at a downtown hotel will have easy access to the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail, which is known as one of the most beautiful trails in the nation. Even those visiting Anchorage without dogs to exercise will enjoy proximity to this gorgeous natural wonder. Mt. McKinley looms above the city on clear days, and the raw energy of the wilderness can be felt even in the downtown area of Anchorage.
Travelers who are looking for historic hotels won't find traditional east-coast style Victorian architecture in Anchorage. What they'll find instead is the Alaskan version of historic hotels -- large log structures with loads of rustic charm. This type of place is more likely to be found, however, at remote resorts and fishing lodges than among standard Anchorage hotels.
Business travelers will find several good airport hotels near Ted Stevens International Airport.

Kevin Byrd's New Role
Award winning entertainer, Kevin Byrd garners international headlines for Prostate Cancer Awareness Campaign
Kevin Byrd garners International Headlines for Prostate Cancer Awareness Campaign
Award winning actor, singer and dancer, Kevin Byrd has been active promoting awareness of Prostate Cancer since the age of 24 through speaking at public forums, distribution of literature and active promotion at his one man show "Release".
Now 26, Byrd's International Headlines appeared in The Epoch Times September 20 -26, 2007 Edition pg. A3 article titled
According to The Epoch Times New York Staff, Denise Benson, "Amidst the fame, Byrd has still flown high, not only working to raise awareness about prostate cancer which has a significantly higher rate of occurrence among African American males, but also volunteering to help people with autism."
Kevin Byrd recently starred in his own off-Broadway one-man show that he also co-wrote with Jason Hendricks and co-produced with Marc Meir, entitled, "Release," in which he played six different men at six different phases in their lives. Release is about identity issues faced by many young men. The play depicts the lives of six personalities, and the lives of six men ranging in age from 18-60, all from different walks of life, in a one-man show. Release addresses the struggles men encounter from different angles, revealing a deep sense of exploration. For instance, there's Tony – a teenage boy who suffers from identity issues due to not knowing his father. Tommy, another featured character, is an extremely successful college graduate who deals with the challenges of pleasing his mother. These and the other stories portrayed in "Release" contribute to enlightenment of the thought process of young men and as a result, garners understanding and appreciation for them.
Byrd also starred as Lt. John R. Fox in the award nominated TV special, "Honor Deferred," produced by Al Roker and Samuel L. Jackson, which premiered on the History Channel. He also wrote, produced, and starred in the award winning film, "The "Last Dayz," Featured in Vibe.com, King Magazine, and the Daily News, and he starred as Cameron Johnson/Cover Model in the bestselling Novel, "Things in Between" by Nathaniel Portis.
Kevin Byrd has won the Cinema Golden Eagle Award and the Freddie Award for "Nicole's Choice, the Proclamation Award for "The Last Dayz," and was nominated for the NAMIC Vision Award for "Honor Deferred."

2nd season is not as good as 1st season. For one, it can still catch the rut, and for two, it won't be anywhere near as crowded.
2nd season is not as good as 1st season. For one, it can still catch the rut, and for two, it won't be anywhere near as crowded.
Now that I know you have some stock, I have a couple of suggestions that might be options for you guys. Unit 71 specifically the Lizard Head Wilderness Area might be something you want to consider. There are some trailheads and some good areas that most casual hunters don't get to. If you are interested PM me and I can give you some better details.

"My Father always considered a walk in the mountains as the equivalent of church going."
Aldous Huxley
I have killed bulls during the second season as well as my dad and brother. Like others have said weather plays a big part in the quality of hunt. If it is warm with no snow the hunt can be tough. One year I went with my brother on his hunt and we didn't see much for the first 4 days because of the pressure and warm weather. On the 5th day we headed to timberline and shot a bull in the morning. They had moved back up to the higher country because of the weather. One thing I will say is finding a mature bull during this season can be tough. I see big bulls coming through the mountains every year during second season so it happens frequently. Good luck, how bad can it be? You get to hunt elk in Colorado.
A bad day in the woods is better than a good day at work.
Shoot the best, Shoot PSE!
An idea if your gmu preference isn't set in stone is to get into a unit that's LE but you have a shot at drawing w/ 0-1pts instead of fighting the constant pressure of OTC units.
I'm going to give the second season a shot this year in an OTC unit, we'll see how it turns out, I started training last week. Great views and trout fishing are a sure thing, elk.... Those will be a huge bonus!
I plan to be at Monte Vista Aug 6 for a chance at the left over tags. Like CC I will be looking for 4th season cow. My take is to hunt cow unless I draw a good bull tag. I think I have five elk points which I plan to use next year. Again, like CC, I love hunting the Lizard Head. The area in 81, I think we talked about, is a sure bull and easy except getting the meat out. I just don't see a chance at getting a bull with a trophy rack, still could be a 6x6. One place CC might have overlooked is Cold Creek canyon between Dunton and Delores Peak. Its too easy and unbelievable, the bulls stay in there close to the road as the hunters go deep. The best time to scout is night and I use gen3 mono while I sit and listen to the elk. That's how I found them. I walked past them for years. This is a rough spot and no easy task for a horse on retrieving game. I quit hunting there because of some really slob non resident hunters, I don't think they went into the canyon and they are probably gone now.
If you decide to hunt in 71 I can give you a spot that elk like to use, its not in the wilderness, but close.
They can probably find good feed in the small openings in the dark timber where sunlight can reach the ground. I've noticed they'll feed a lot on those kind of spots throughout the day and move to more open areas as light fades. Perfect scenario is to be able to look across canyons where you can look through the timber at those spots.
I hunt nothing but dark timber. You get them moving from bedding areas to feeding areas, and they also get up and move a bit during the day when bedding. Some guys think they lay down all day in the same bed. Not true.
You have to still hunt. Be very quiet. Move very slow. Play the wind. It helps if you've scouted the area, and know some bedding areas, but make sure you don't stink up the area while scouting.
It's a very different way to hunt compared to glassing, and long shots. You may not need a scope at all. I never did.
Good luck.
btw Only lately i've used a muzzleloader. All my hunting has been still hunting during rifle seasons.
Okay Pete, the scope is off my ML. I too like the dark timber and it fits my hunting speed. but I an't going five miles in. the bulls in Cold Creek are not more than 1/2 mile from the main road. I look for places they hide in plain site. Elk don't have to feed if pressure is great enough. I also like to hunt mule deer at the edge of town or just above private irrigated farms. Too lame to go five miles in.

Death is a reality in which all human beings believe. However, it is also a reality which most of us like to keep out of our minds.
In Islam, death is not an end to our existence; it is a passage, which takes us from this world to the hereafter – the actual purpose for our creation and the result of our work in this life. Whether we fear death or not depends on how much we have prepared for the reckoning of the Day of Judgement.

Great video! By far better than the videos I've seen at Staples. Keep up the good work!
Holy shit is it Sunday yet?!
Great video. I've been a fan of the la kings since 1988, that is when I came back from Italy I've been through a lot as a kings fan. In 93 I missed the run they were on because of me going on vacation in Italy and was unable to catch a feed. I love this team I love the way they make me feel on game day. I hate it when they lose and love it when they win. I am a kings fan and will not predict the outcome of this series. One shift at a time. GKG

Item # SRM0054
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Mountain Cassettes in stock than that.View Similar Products
SRAM XG-1099 XX Cassette $0.00
Many feel that the SRAM XX Cassette is the centerpiece of the XX group. It is an impressive feat of machining -- spin the cogset and the design is mesmerizing. Spin it on an acid trip and you'll be smiling in awe for hours.
SRAM once again borrowed an idea from their Red road group when they started designing this cassette. The Red PowerDome is a cassette machined out of a single piece of steel. Steel. And it's still lighter than just about every road cassette out there. The only problem with this design is that it can easily get jammed with dirt, a fact not lost on SRAM-equipped cyclocrossers, who run SRAM's less-expensive cassettes. So SRAM started with the basic idea, machined steel will be stronger, more durable, and lighter, and re-conceived the idea as X-Dome. X-Dome has eight of the ten cogs in a single body -- that's a lot of CNC-machining of a single block of steel. In fact, it takes nine hours of machining to get it to the skeletal minimum. The aluminum large cog in back is press-fit onto the block of eight and is replaceable. The tenth cog is the smallest one, and is made of steel as well.
The SRAM XX cassette comes with ten cogs. Nine are made of 4130 chromoly steel. The tenth (largest) is made from 7075-T6 aluminum and is individually replaceable. The lock ring is made from 7075-T6 aluminum as well. The shifting cutouts and ramps are X-glide. SRAM recommends using their 1090 or 1090R chain with this cassette, though any 10-speed chain is compatible. Claimed weight of the SRAM XX Cassette in the 11/32 ratio is 185g, in 11/36 ratio is 208g.
Choose between two gearing options:
The 11/32 includes: 11,12,14,16,18,20,22,25,28,32
The 11/36 includes: 11,12,14,16,18,21,24,28,32,36

Super light, smooth shifts, dies quickly
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The XG-1099 is an impressive feat of engineering. This thing is significantly lighter than the XTR M980 10-speed cassette, and I feel confident in stating that it is probably the sexiest cassette ever made. The cogs on most cassettes are bolted to an aluminum spider or carrier. Here, all but the largest and smallest cogs are machined from a single block of steel and are thus connected to each other rather than being affixed to a central piece of metal. I've found that it shifts slightly better with SRAM derailleurs than with Shimano derailleurs, but I would happily use it on all of my bikes if not for the mayfly-like life span of the large cog.
Unlike the interconnected billet steel middle cogs, the largest cog (32t or 36t) is made of aluminum. I don't doubt that SRAM chose the aluminum to save weight in this weight-weenie's-wet-dream of a cassette, but the aluminum is much more malleable and wears out in an unacceptably short period of time. Worn out cogs can cause the chain to skip, shift poorly, or fail completely. Despite SRAM's representations to the contrary, this large aluminum cog is not replaceable. To clarify, perhaps the cog is theoretically replaceable, but SRAM has never released or sold the replacement cogs. I've worked on class actions that have been filed over less. A simple Google search will produce several forums and threads filled with rants from riders about how quickly the aluminum cog died on their $400 cassette, one chap claims his XG-1099 was only a few weeks old when it gave up the ghost as he power-shifted on a steep climb.
To summarize: If you are a racer who counts every gram, then buy this and put it on your race bike. It's awesome, but don't put it on your training bike and expect it to survive. If you are a weekend warrior who has the means and motive to spend $400 on a cassette, expect to spend another $400 in 4-6 months. Or just never shift to your big cog.
Large alu cog is NOT replacable
This is an amazing piece of kit but the 32 or 36 should be used sparingly as they are not replaceable. SRAM advertised them as replaceable but never made the part available.
Top-o-the-line Race Cassette
For those racing MTB and running 10-speed SRAM, this is your cassette. It's nearly 60 grams lighter than the XG-1080, and its skeletal design minimizes debris clogging the cassette.
The downside is obviously the price, as its not inexpensive. If it wasn't being used for race purposes, I'd probably opt for the XG-1080. Four stars for that reason.

Sorry, it sounds like a cool project, but I don't do Sci-Fi.
My Battlemaps Gallery http://www.cartographersguild.com/al...p?albumid=3407
Ah, but you don't have to do it as sci-fi. You're thinking too small - probably in the the *earthly* space-station range? If you take a Universal Standard Ringworld, like the geofiction world of Alliance is set upon, one could place all the maps the Cartographers' Guild has ever made or probably ever will make, with enough separation that an excess of mana in one "world's worth" of magical realms won't even leak over to the plain magic-free classical-greek-ish map next door. Here - I'll show you. Alliance's website is in French, and some parts of it have disappeared from the web, but there's always archive.org. Here's the geophysical explanation page, dragged from archive.org and piped through Google Translate. Rough numbers - 40,000 km wide and 1.225 billion kilometers in circumference.
Same thing without translation, if you are Francophone.
Now, it's not bending the declared theme of the map much, if you just show the whole ring off to the side, and zoom on on selected sectors.
If you wanted neighbors, you could claim you're a few degrees around from Alliance itself - there's you an ecosystem of a couple of hundred nations - not all active in play, but with judicious use of archive.org one might find details on many of them. Mind you one ought NOT get caught in the trap of rummaging through those nations, unless one were willing to set aside one's own mapmaking for many days :-)...
Ahh, but you say Thurlor meant "a space station somewhat smaller than a planet", okaaaaaay... what happens if an o'Neill cylinder is abandoned, and bug-sized human analogues develop (or are magically emplanted)? You get plenty of not-really-sci-fi, in a unique format. And a world-scale map, of sorts.
What if the cylinder was not created by science in the first place? Say, a natural moon, slagged by an errant blast of magical power in a Universal Standard Gods War scenario. If you think that such a moon got a rough treatment, well, you should see what is left of the *planet*... Say the winning deities shaped the moon-slag into a can, spun it, gassed it up, and seeded it with leftover survivors from the planet. Voila stone-age satellite dwellers. Or steampunk. aetherpunk, intelligent-saurian, gangster-era chicago-ish, venetian empire, or take-yer-pick-era.
Best? Insides of cylinders map *perfectly* on rectangular coordinates, with no distortion. No confusing projection worries!
Think outside the box... err, inside the can.
I was thinking that it need not be sci-fi in nature. Even without going to the extreme of ring-worlds and dyson spheres.
Imagine an automated, self maintening O'Neill Cylinder that has been in operation for numerous generations. It is possible that the inhabitants may have reverted to some form of feudalistic society .
More low-tech possibilities include enhanced ease of flying ('gravity' falling off with height, to zero at centerline) and secrecy-via-fog (otherwise, given adequate atmospheric clarity, everybody can see all the territory). Astronomy could be restricted to the underground miners who accessed the 'windows in the bottom of the world'... and would be pretty useless for navigation.
I'm amazed at how much better this idea is starting to sound now that it's been expanded.
I'm trying to imagine the lines used for correction curves for ballistic weaponry. As far as I can see, they would be very loose helical 'lines' running along the interrior surface.
It's been a long time since I've done anything sci-fi, but I used to map the interiors of space stations when I was a kid (trying to figure out how to make things work with the curved surfaces and all). I think this would be fun.

UF grad named first black president of Florida Bar
Published: Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 6:31 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 6:31 p.m.
Fifty years after Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a dream speech," The Florida Bar has sworn in its first African-American president.
Eugene K. Pettis, a University of Florida alumnus, was sworn in June 28 to the third largest bar association in the United States.
Pettis was sworn in as the 65th president of The Florida Bar at the Boca Raton Resort & Club. The UF Association of Black Alumni and the Virgil Hawkins Florida Chapter of the National Bar Association hosted a lunch reception and program in Pettis' honor, and the Chestnut Law Firm in Gainesville, UF Alumni Association, and UF Levin College of Law were all local sponsors.
Terry Nealy, president of the UF Association of Black Alumni, said Pettis' mom was the first one who said he should be a lawyer because he talks so much. When Pettis was older, he realized he had the skill set to be a lawyer and wanted to help people, Nealy said.
Nealy said The Florida Bar made Pettis president because he always had a knack for attracting all kinds of people and being in a coalition to get things done.
Among his successes, Pettis was the first black Student Government treasurer at UF, and he was president of the UF Black Student Union.
"We're proud of someone who lived in Gainesville like we did and went to Florida like we did," Nealy said on Wednesday.
Pettis graduated from UF with a bachelor of arts in Political Science in 1982 and a juris doctor from the UF Levin College of Law in 1985.
Nealy said Pettis becoming The Florida Bar president is big for UF.
"It's neat to see someone start at a place like that and do well after leaving the safe confines of the Swamp," Nealy said.
Nealy said Pettis is one of UF's most active and committed alumni. He comes to events, is active in organizations and supports Uf events independently and financially.
Pettis is a co-founder of the Haliczer, Pettis & Schwamm law firm in Fort Lauderdale.
Nealy said that while Pettis is leading the third largest bar association in the country, which has over 96,000 members, Pettis hasn't forgotten his roots at UF.
"Even in everything he's doing, he's still making time for the University of Florida," Nealy said.
Nealy also pointed out that 55 years ago the first black student enrolled at UF in 1958.
"The UF Association of Black Alumni has adopted "Gator Nation Celebrating Dreams Fulfilled" as its theme for the year," Nealy said. "We, like many others around the country, are reflecting on Dr. King's legacy but also celebrating UF alumni dreams that have been fulfilled over the past year."
Nealy said that 50 years after Martin Luther King Jr. said, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character," Pettis has fulfilled that dream.
Pettis was on vacation and unavailable for comment.

Amazing Body Wash
I bought this after reading a review on here and I was not disappointed! This wash lathers wonderfully and you only need a bit. I've noticed that while the fragrance is wonderful and you can definitely smell it- it is not overpowering in any way.
Fabulous, feminine fragrance
I feel so feminine wearing Kimona Rose as if I'm floating thru a perfumed mist.
Serenity in a bottle!!!
I first tried this product when I was at in a hotel in Los Angeles for 4 days for an audition. Even though the accommodations were very nice, it's still stressful when you're in a hotel for almost a week and you're not permitted to leave the premises. Well, it wasn't anymore once I got my hands on this stuff. O. M. G.!!!! When I first smelled it in the gift shop it blew me away, I used all the money I had on me to buy all of it! I kid you not. You don't mind being locked down in a hotel for a few days after you take a whiff of Kimono Rose, at least I didn't. I was almost late for my audition because I was so relaxed and happy, it's just the most beautiful scent I have ever smelled. Thank you for making a product that makes me feel so serene.
Smells sooo good!
I had a sample of Kimono Rose lotion....loved it so much that I proceeded to buy the roll-on cologne, the body wash, cream and a bottle of the cologne! It is so fresh and light and have had several positive comments from others on the scent...
My purchase must have been a premonition, because I was fortunate to have the chance to visit Japan within a few weeks of my purchase!

Would you guys prefer I have the pictures listed as attachments instead of links? Let's try that...
For my latest game of D&D, I wanted to at least try to incorporate some level of authenticity into my map. In this game, the PCs have traveled deep underground via this big pit/waterfall (seen here) and have found themselves in a giant cavern with an ancient Minotaur prison.
Well, after some searching on here as well as Google Images, I found this picture. It was exactly what I was looking for: a believable layout that could be interpreted simply or with lots of detail. It's from the Monolithic Domes website, which will definitely be a future source of inspiration for me.
I also had a few gameplay/story goals for this map. I wanted the party to do some quick exploration and eventually come upon another PC who's been absent for a few games and is now ready to rejoin. This PC would be captured and ensnared by some magic barrier that is draining his life-force. The party would need to split up to free him as well as face some baddies. (I have a party of 6 total; so I've been thinking about splitting them up for a while now.)
With all of this in mind... I start with some sketches: seen here and here. On the first page, I have some notes for what I'd like to have, plus some math to make some proportionally accurate small maps. The second pic has one or two design ideas, some sketches of how to draw the crystals, and then the final map.
The big version of the final map can be seen here. And the obligatory action shot is here. You can see that I successfully split up the party... though not really, since they're really just on opposite sides of the same battle. But it added enough of a new dynamic that it was effective.
You can see more of my pictures on my Flickr account by clicking here.
That's it! I would like to apologize for the quality of my pictures. I've just been using my camera phone, which is obviously not cutting it. I'll try to get some better pictures of my next projects...The next map will be another part of the prison that a young dragon has turned into its lair. So we'll see how that goes... Thanks for reading!
Would you guys prefer I have the pictures listed as attachments instead of links? Let's try that...
very cool. I like full scale hand drawn maps - they really show the care dms put into preparing for their games (i know, because im one as well.) Also its cool to see your thinking process; you seem to have a pretty good handle on how to design maps that look good and play good too. i notice a door at the back of the dungeon; do you plan on having the party keep delving deeper underground?
Thanks, vman! Yes, beyond the door to the North, the party will encounter a black dragon in his lair. That's what I'll be preparing for this week as our next game night is this Sunday. Speaking of which, I should probably get to work...
That's pretty cool, I have a huge one of these I created years ago, one of these days I may attempt to scan it all in, assemble it and brush it up for display.....if I get fired up about it.
What I really want to know is how the heck do you guys play on such a slanted surface, do those mini's have suction cups on the bottom?
When its over and you look in the mirror, did you do the best that you were capable of? If so, the score does not matter. But if you find that you did your best you were capable of, you will find it to your liking. -John Wooden

Editor's Summary
With overwhelming support for the proposed name change to the Association for Information Science & Technology, the Society is pursuing implementation efforts. Updating a name is one in a range of changes many professional societies are undergoing, as observed at the Council of Scientific Society Presidents (CSSP) annual meeting in December 2012. Two shared concerns were evident. In response to dwindling publication revenues that threaten each organizations fiscal stability, a consortium approach was proposed that would handle the mechanics of publishing and provide negotiating strength and capacity through numbers. Attendees also discussed predatory practices in conference organization, with similarly named alternative conventions timed to compete with established conferences. The ambiguity creates confusion and can divert presenters and attendees from recognized top-tier meetings. A key lesson from the CSSP meeting was the need to build relationships with other societies and the disciplines affected by information science and technology.

2013 ASIS&T President
Dean and Professor
School of Information
University of Texas at Austin
The name change for ASIS&T, as you will now know, was overwhelmingly supported by members last fall in what turned out to be one of the largest ballot returns in recent ASIS&T history. As I write this, we are in the process of dealing with all the necessary legal and logistical aspects that must be addressed. The clear signal from members is that this is the right move for the Society at this time, and I hope we can leverage this enthusiasm in the months and years ahead to forge a greater international association for all our members.
Name changes are not new to many professional societies, and neither are dwindling memberships, financial challenges and threats from outside. This much was brought home to me vividly when I attended the Council of Scientific Society Presidents annual meeting last month in Washington, DC. This gathering of society presidents is described as the primary science policy organization in the world, and I was honored to represent ASIS&T. Given the problems discussed, we need to participate actively and regularly in this gathering, and I am of the view that our society can bring a unique perspective to bear.
Two concerns in particular dominated the discussion sessions I attended: publication revenues and predatory conference practices. The former, obviously enough, is driven by the recognition that increasing amounts of any societys budget come from publication revenues. With library bundling practices and membership drops, several presidents spoke of the proactive steps their societies are taking to ensure their ongoing funding streams. The range of options employed is wide, from author charges to developing dedicated endowment funds to support publications, but the most exciting suggestion I heard was for the Council to facilitate a consortium process to handle the mechanics of publishing, probably through a service provider, which could be leveraged by individual societies as needed. The dream is to allow each member society the ability to retain full benefits of ownership for their journals but with the negotiating strength of the collective. Clearly there is some distance between the idea and its implementation, but it suggests that scholarly societies need not view themselves as passive or powerless in the scholarly publication economy. From the lively discussion that ensued at the meeting, it was clear that many professional societies believe this option is seriously worth exploring.
The predatory practices issue is something that weve not experienced with ASIS&T, but some society presidents reported competitors starting up conferences that are scheduled to coincide with or run in parallel to their major conventions and which are often titled and described ambiguously to suggest a relationship or official endorsement. The goal is to attract revenues by capturing the attention and resources of a legitimate associations members. Weve not had too many competitors try this with the ASIS&T Annual Meeting, but it is clear that the number of information-related conferences, often in attractive locations, is growing as businesses see the prospect of profits. And profits there are to be made, but the costs are more than financial: young faculty need to be very mindful of where they publish as they build their research records, and professionals seeking the best exposure to new ideas and practices can ill-afford to waste resources attending second-rate conferences. We all think we can tell the difference ourselves, but its clear that some outside interests feel there is an ambiguity here to be exploited.
All told, the Council of Scientific Society Presidents meeting confirmed for me the importance of looking outside our society for guidance and benchmarking. As the Association for Information Science & Technology, we should be exploring not only greater international coordination and activities but we should also be examining how our society can shape dialog and forge productive relationships with other disciplines that are impacted by the core concerns of our field. If you have not attended a business meeting at our Annual Meeting recently, you might not realize that our membership is small and is shrinking and that we are heavily reliant on publication contracts to ensure our financial survival. In this sense, we are no different than many other scholarly associations. What we do have, however, is an intellectual core that has relevance far beyond any single disciplinary boundary and by acting on this strength and our clear desire to grow internationally, ASIS&T can have a healthy future and in so doing, really live up its claim to be the information society for the information age.

Family vacations can be a great way to get away from the problems of daily life, but Chet Ripley (John Candy) can't really escape his issues, even in "The Great Outdoors." Ripley takes his family to the Wisconsin resort where he and his wife spent their honeymoon years ago. Despite promises from the owners that their cabin has been remodeled, Chet and his wife have to clean up all the rotting fish left behind by the previous tenants.
To make matters worse, Chet's obnoxious brother-in-law Roman (Dan Aykroyd) shows up unexpectedly with his family. A real braggart, Roman has to do everything bigger and better than anyone else, springing for lobster tails while Chet can only afford hot dogs. Even when Chet wants to take a peaceful cruise on the lake with his kids, Roman bullies him into renting a powerful jet boat.
Throughout "The Great Outdoors," John Candy and Dan Aykroyd match wits with each other, trying to see who is going to give in first. Although he played several goofy characters during the 1980's, Candy is a real family man here, hoping to give his kids a real outdoors vacation. As the villain, Aykroyd's character would rather tear down the trees and build condominiums, using the rest of the resort as a toxic waste dump.
Known for directing several popular teen movies, John Hughes said that he wrote the script for "The Great Outdoors" based on his memories of his own childhood family vacations. One has to wonder if Hughes' father had to eat the "Ole 96er," the enormous 96-ounce steak that Roman bullies Chet into eating at a local restaurant.
Though "The Great Outdoors" is supposed to be set in Northern Wisconsin, this outdoors comedy was filmed at the Pines Resort in Bass Lake, California. Many film and commercial directors have used Pines Resort as a background because of its natural beauty.
At those times when work keeps you close to home, watch this movie to get a real taste of "The Great Outdoors."

After the silly but popular British comedy "The Mouse That Roared" (1959), Seberg was cast in Jean-Luc Godard's landmark New Wave feature "A Bout de souffle/Breathless" (1959), which brought her renewed international attention. As an American in Paris, selling papers on the streets and romancing wanted criminal Jean-Paul Belmondo, she gave a careless, modern and very hip performance. Still, Seberg had to struggle through five unremarkable features before turning in a memorable performance as a schizophrenic in the title role of Robert Rossen's "Lilith" (1964).

Just in case you weren't sold on IBM's commitment to better serve and team with smaller enterprises, here is some hard hitting evidence for you. IBM recently launched the Small and Midsized Business (SMB) web portal around Cloud & Smarter Infrastructure as a clear illustration of how the Tivoli, Maximo, TRIRIGA and Netcool solutions are geared for the SMB space across Cloud, Mobility, Asset Management and Storage.
We fully recognize that SMB customers have different sets of needs and IT requirements than our large enterprise customers . And just to be clear, these are NOT watered-down, leftover, or recycled enterprise level products. Instead, the portal features a portfolio of easy to deploy, rapid-value solutions that are appropriately sized and priced for SMB's.
For example, our new cloud provisioning product includes a "try & buy" feature that allows you to quickly download a free trial. SmartCloud Provisioning delivers computer infrastructure as a service by providing on-demand access to virtual machines and storage in the network. The trial is fully functional for 90 days at no charge, and at the end of the trial period, you can purchase the products directly from the site with just a few clicks.
And if you are interested in interacting with a community for this product, you can visit our developerWorks site for discussion forum for the IBM SmartCloud Provisioning Open Beta Program
The new SMB portal also links to a free trial download of Tivoli Endpoint Manager, so you can experience its capabilities and benefits firsthand. This trial has all features enabled and is good for an evaluation period of 30 days.
Once you have chosen the solution that's right for you, use the portal to connect with an IBM business partner in their area.

Automating Security: Bringing IT Audit and IT Operations Together
Bryan Casey 270003BSJV firstname.lastname@example.com Tags:  ibm security bigfix manager endpoint management tem audit tivoli automation 5 Comments 15,238 Visits
Today's post comes from Sandy Hawke, Manager IBM Security Solutions.
I recently presented to the ISACA community on a live webinar. I focused the discussion on how to leverage automation to improve endpoint security and compliance. The archived webinar is available here. Just as a brief background, ISACA is an international professional association that focuses on all aspects of IT Governance and has over 95,000 members worldwide.
The online event drew a pretty substantial audience which is good, and yet a bit surprising in two key ways. First of all, many of the recommendations I made to the audience were not radically new concepts, but basic foundational controls that all security professionals agree are critical for achieving and maintaining solid security and demonstrable compliance. So haven't they heard this story before?
Maybe not. And that's the second observation. Most of the ISACA membership is in the IT audit/Risk Management line of business. While they're not the folks who are implementing security technologies on a daily basis (i.e. "hands at keyboards")- they are keen to understand how security is implemented, how it works, how automation can be used to facilitate audits, etc. And that's the new trend we've been witnessing. While the audit team knows what the policy controls should be, they may not know if/how these controls get enforced, maintained, monitored and reported on- essentially how security is "operationalized." The more that they know what's possible with respect to security operations and automation, the better they'll be at knowing what questions to ask IT operations during audits, what technologies to recommend, etc.
Years ago, the IT Audit/Risk Manager organization and activities were kept quite separate from the IT Operations/IT Infrastructure teams. And at the time there were pretty good reasons to keep these groups as distinct as possible- you've all heard of "keeping the fox out of the hen house" analogy, right? The IT Audit/Risk Mgmt teams could set and enforce policy and conduct assessments that wouldn't be influenced by the operations staff. Well, with the advent of converging technologies, economic trends, and the increased importance of measuring security investments and compliance program- in real time, these groups are coming together. More so than ever before.
And technologies that can foster that type of trust, cooperation, and collaboration are indispensable.
Lightweight endpoints make for more powerful protection
Bryan Casey 270003BSJV email@example.com Tags:  endpoint ibm cloud security protection 7 Comments 40,415 Visits
So, I was at Pulse this year and was the source of a pretty constant ridicule for carrying around what felt like a fifty pound laptop bag. It was horrible, and inconvenient, and not even effective. I had hard copies of schedules that were out of date about 30 seconds after I clicked print. By the end of the conference I had calluses on my fingers and I couldn't walk more than about ten steps without having to change hands. It was really a constant reminder that I need to go to the gym more.
Anyway, interestingly enough, most vendors in the endpoint security space have basically adopted this same approach in designing their technology. Incoming attacks get blocked by signatures, and in order to keep you "prepared," some companies just create and update these huge signature files, shoot them across the network, fold their hands and hope they get properly installed, and then get right back to work because the files they just sent are more or less immediately out of date. I can tell you from experience that lugging around a bulky bag of incomplete, outdated information is no way to do your job. It's also no way to keep your employees, and by extension, your company, ahead of threats.
What companies need to do is focus on what a defense-in-depth of the endpoint would really look like. It means you need a lot of things. You need to have antivirus and firewall protection. You need a patch process that actually works. You need centralized policy management that is easily enforceable. And, of course, you need all of this in real-time. Until recently, that also meant you needed a lot of aspirin.
With its acquisition of BigFix last July, IBM basically invested in the convergence of security and systems management, two pieces of the operational infrastructure that will continue to become more intertwined. You can't just write the policy, or obtain the patch, you also need to be confident that these changes and updates are continually being enforced at every single endpoint. Try automatically applying patches to computers that aren't turned on and you'll pretty quickly understand why convergence is so important.
Up until this week there were four offerings that were part of the Tivoli Endpoint Manager suite of products, all of which are managed under the same roof. We have solutions for lifecycle management, security and compliance, power management and patch management. This week, we were pleased to announce Tivoli Endpoint Manager for Core Protection, a solution designed to add another layer of depth to your endpoint security posture. Tivoli Endpoint Manager for Core Protection is the result of the relationship between IBM and Trend Micro, and offers the real-time, lightweight threat protection that other endpoint security solutions can't really compete with.
I spoke earlier about how other vendors were sending these huge signature files across their network, files that were outdated before you even figured out how to install them on your PC. Tivoli Endpoint Manager for Core Protection is different because while it does employ the use of some signature files, it also leverages the cloud to reduce the amount of information that needs to be sent across the network and also provides the real-time protection that static signature files cannot. As the cloud is updated with the latest threat information, so too are all of the endpoints that are in conversation with that cloud.
This has proven to be extremely effective. In a recent third party test, the Trend Micro technology blocked 100% of all incoming malware (the second place competitive product came in at 77%) by taking a multi-layer approach. Nearly all (97.5%) of the malware was detected and blocked in the first layer (URL reputation) and the remaining pieces of malware were blocked in the two subsequent layers of defense. Now, here's where it gets even more impressive. An hour after the original test, they again tested just the malware that got through URL reputation, but this time it did not get through even that first layer of defense. This is protective technology that is updating and hardening its defenses as new threats come in.
I don't think I really need to explain the importance of endpoint security to anyone reading this. We all have different things at stake, whether it's your back accounts, your music collection, confidential information for work or even just a photo album. What I can say is that 77% isn't good enough when it comes to protecting any of those things.
The strength of Tivoli Endpoint Manager is that it combines first-rate security with the systems management capabilities needed to ensure that protection is deployed across the entire infrastructure. When it comes to endpoint management, it's about no longer looking at technology in silos, it's about understanding why and how we can integrate different complementary offerings. Tivoli Endpoint Manager is built on that philosophy.

Who ever thought that endpoint management could save you so much money
Bryan Casey 270003BSJV email@example.com Tags:  manager security asset bigfix tem tivoli automation ibm management endpoint 11 Comments 24,640 Visits
One of the trends that we are seeing today is the convergence of security management and systems management. The better job you can do managing your infrastructure, the better equipped you will be to define and enforce security policies and controls across that infrastructure. There are few places where this convergence is more evident than the endpoint.
As the notion of a perimeter disappears, and we see the continued proliferation of an increasing number of traditional and non-traditional endpoints, such as servers, desktop PCs, laptops, ATMs, point-of-sale devices, and self-service kiosks, organizations are looking for a comprehensive approach to how they best manage and secure all of their endpoints. This includes, but is not limited to, identifying all of the endpoints that you have in your environment, managing the complete lifecycle of that endpoint, providing continuous security and compliance, effectively deploying patches in a timely manner and finally, managing the power usage of that endpoint.
Tivoli Endpoint Manager, built on BigFix technology, can address all of those needs, but in this blog, I want to focus on that last piece of the conversation, because it is one that does not immediately come to mind when people are typically thinking about the most critical elements of managing an endpoint. However, we have seen that effective power management is something that can actually pay for all of the other benefits that Tivoli Endpoint Manager can provide. You can ultimately end up saving money, the environment, and in the process, deploy critical security and systems management controls across all of your endpoints (even the ones you didn't originally know you had).
In a recent article (click here), Penn State wrote about their deployment of Big Fix (now called Tivoli Endpoint Manager) and indicated that it could save them about $800,000 annually. At a large university like
One of the objections that people often bring up when it comes to power management for the endpoint is that it can interfere with the patch process. This is one of the areas where the convergence of security and systems management is so important. The policies that you create and enforce from a systems management perspective need to work hand-in-hand with the policies related to security management. For that reason, Tivoli Endpoint Manager was built on the core concepts of convergence, scalability and granular policy setting. It allows an IT staff to automatically wake computers at a designated time, apply required patches or enforce configuration policies, reboot, and then bring the endpoint back down to a hibernated, low energy state, or shut it down altogether.

|Dragons overthrow Kings at NJC
|Written by April Peregoy
Lurching ahead early on in the competition, the Dragon varsity basketball team conquered the Love Christian Kings, 61-38, when the teams met at the Northeastern Junior College campus in Sterling Tuesday, Jan. 20.
Playing on the college court is a treat for coach John Baumgartner and his Holyoke team, made even sweeter by the victory. "The Kings played a real physical game, which was good experience for the boys," he added.
After a somewhat disappointing offensive effort against Haxtun the week before, Baumgartner said his team really picked it up this time, both inside and outside the key.
Evan Swanson got things kicked off for the Dragons by putting up a field goal from three-point land. That was quickly followed by another three from Austin Tharp. He and Kyle Carper dominated first quarter action, with Tharp contributing seven more points and Carper adding six.
Already leading by eight going into the second, the Dragons continued to surge ahead, widening the distance in scores to double-digits. At the half, HHS had a solid lead, 37-23.
Holyoke continued to dominate throughout the second half. Carper had an incredible third quarter, scoring nine of the 14 points earned by the Dragons.
More players were rotated through as Holyoke kept up the momentum going into the third and fourth quarters. Logan Krueger, who up until Tuesday night had not played because of recent knee surgery, joined the team for his first game of the season, and added two points to the score.
In the final quarter, the Dragons went to the line seven times and made five. At the same time, they managed to keep their opponent away from those easy shots to help them hold on to the lead and win the game by 23 points.
Tharp and Carper were unstoppable Tuesday night, tacking on 20 and 18 points respectively. Carper also nabbed 12 rebounds while Tharp had five steals.
Defensively, Michal Brown was a force to be reckoned with. He also had eight rebounds and put up six points on the scoreboard. Ryan Baumgartner contributed eight assists and four steals.
Overall team stats show HHS shooting at 62 percent in the first half, then dropping to 28 percent in the second for an overall shooting average of 42 percent. Love Christian's average was 41 percent.
The teams were also fairly matched at the line with Holyoke making 67 percent while the Kings made 61.
The Dragons outrebounded the Kings, 38-20, and stole 14 balls to their nine. Love Christian had a hard time hanging onto the ball as well, with 28 turnovers compared to Holyoke's 16.
Holyoke 61, Love Christian 38
Tharp 3 3 5-5 1 20
Baumgartner 1 1 0-0 4 5

Guatemala : Michelin's recommendations
Located in the north of Central America, Guatemala is a showcase of Maya civilisation past and present. Although it is a small country its terrain ranges from jungle-covered lowland to high plateaux scattered with mountains and volcanoes peaking at over 4 000m; it abounds with natural and archaeological treasures, some of which are yet to be explored. One of the sites you can visit in the dense Petén forest is Tikal, a designated archaeological UNESCO World Heritage Site which has to be seen to be believed. Any trip to Guatemala is also an opportunity to meet the inhabitants of remote villages, dine side by side with the locals in a comedor, mingle with the colourful crowds at a village market on the banks of Lake Atitlán or attend one of the numerous local festivals, where you can witness age-old Maya customs. Be sure to go to mass at the church in Chichicastenango, which perfectly illustrates the syncretism of Catholicism and the Maya religion. Another of Guatemala''s highlights is Antigua, a ravishing colonial city which during Holy Week is the scene of a religious fervour reminiscent of Sevilla in Spain.
To make the most of your time in Guatemala, it is advisable to prepare every aspect of your holiday beforehand and get travel and safety tips from the relevant organisations.

Hey guys! Just got word I have drawn a Copalis unit Spring Bear Tag in our state! Awesome stuff, as last year was a no-go in the Monroe Spring Bear unit. Totally stoked to hit the field with my bow-in-hand this spring.
I have never actually hunted this unit before and was wondering if anyone else has? It is GMU 642, located west of Aberdeen. The unit(s) for bear are located on Raionier Timber lands and (i guess) require me to buy a $100 "access permit" to go on the land and do them a favor by saving their trees; strange, but whatever.
I have had some amazing feedback on this forum from great sources and am truly hoping for some close encounters of the bruin kind this season. Any additional help in the how, when, where, why, what-if category would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a ton and have a safe, fun hunting season!
As a note on how I hunt: I access road unit (like this apparently) with my mountain bike and trailer, or I typically backpack for 3-5 days at a time. As a full-time college student I may not find time (or squeeze the money) to make it down for scouting prior to the April 15 season, so it will be a week-long hit the ground running hunt. Season runs April 15-June 15. Thanks!
