Security Response Policy
VMware works hard to build products that our customers trust in the most critical operations of their enterprises. We recognize that unless our products meet the highest standards for security, customers will not be able to deploy them with confidence. This VMware Security Response Policy documents our commitments for resolving possible vulnerabilities in our products so that our customers can be assured that any such issues will be corrected in a timely fashion.
Classes of Vulnerabilities in VMware Products
Critical Vulnerabilities
Vulnerabilities that can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker from the Internet or those that break the guest/host Operating System isolation. The exploitation results in the complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of user data and/or processing resources without user interaction. Exploitation could be leveraged to propagate an Internet worm or execute arbitrary code between Virtual Machines and/or the Host Operating System.
Important Vulnerabilities
Vulnerabilities that are not rated critical but whose exploitation results in the complete compromise of confidentiality and/or integrity of user data and/or processing resources through user assistance or by authenticated attackers. This rating also applies to those vulnerabilities which could lead to the complete compromise of availability when exploitation is by a remote unauthenticated attacker from the Internet or through a breach of virtual machine isolation.
Moderate Vulnerabilities
Vulnerabilities where the ability to exploit is mitigated to a significant degree by configuration or difficulty of exploitation, but in certain deployment scenarios could still lead to the compromise of confidentiality, integrity, or availability of user data and/or processing resources.
Low Vulnerabilities
All other issues that have a security impact. Vulnerabilities where exploitation is believed to be extremely difficult, or where successful exploitation would have minimal impact.
How to Report a Vulnerability
VMware encourages users who become aware of a security vulnerability in VMware products to contact VMware with details of the vulnerability. VMware has established an email address that should be used for reporting a vulnerability. Please send descriptions of any vulnerabilities found to email@example.com. Please include details on the software and hardware configuration of your system so that we can duplicate the issue being reported.
Note: We encourage use of encrypted email. Our public PGP key is found at kb.vmware.com/kb/1055.
VMware hopes that users encountering a new vulnerability will contact us privately as it is in the best interests of our customers that VMware has an opportunity to investigate and confirm a suspected vulnerability before it becomes public knowledge.
In the case of vulnerabilities found in third-party software components used in VMware products, please also notify VMware as described above.
VMware's Response to Reported Vulnerabilities in Its Products
Security Vulnerability Sources Monitored
VMware receives private reports on vulnerabilities via its mailbox, from customers and from VMware field personnel. VMware also monitors public repositories of software security vulnerabilities to identify newly discovered vulnerabilities that may affect one or more of our products.
Acknowledgement and Initial Analysis
After receipt of a report of a vulnerability, VMware will triage the report and determine which products are affected and what the severity of the vulnerability is. VMware will provide feedback to the reporter of the vulnerability and work with them to fix the issue.
In the event of a public report where there is no available fix, VMware will acknowledge the report by issuing a Security Alert or by publishing a Knowledge Base article. This information will include references to the public sources reporting the vulnerability. Whenever possible, it will include steps users can take to protect their VMware system from exploitation of the vulnerability.
Note: VMware Security Alerts are posted at www.vmware.com/security/alerts and are sent to subscribers of the VMware Security Announce mailing list. One can subscribe to this list by entering their email address in the "Sign-up for Security Notifications" box on www.vmware.com/security.
Fix or Corrective Action
VMware will release of a fix for the reported vulnerability. The fix may take one or more of these forms:
- A new major or minor release of the affected VMware product
- A new maintenance or update release of the affected VMware product
- A patch that can be installed on top of the affected VMware product
- Instructions to download and install an update or patch for a third-party software component that is part of the VMware product installation
- A corrective procedure or workaround that instructs users in adjusting the VMware product configuration to mitigate the vulnerability
VMware customer notification
When a fix or corrective action for a vulnerability becomes available, VMware will notify its customers by the following means:
- VMware Knowledge Base article and/or release notes which details the fix or corrective action.
- VMware Security Advisory which details the security vulnerability and provides a reference to the KB article and/or release notes.
Note: VMware Security Advisories are posted at www.vmware.com/security/advisories and are sent to subscribers of the VMware Security Announce mailing list. One can subscribe to this list by entering their email address in the "Sign-up for Security Notifications" box on www.vmware.com/security.
Product Versions that VMware Will Fix
VMware Life Cycle Policies specify software support timelines to assist customers with long-term change-management decisions and release strategies. Customers should familiarize themselves with the Life Cycle policy of their product.
VMware's committed response time depends on the severity of the reported vulnerability.
VMware will begin work on a fix or corrective action immediately. VMware will provide the fix or corrective action to customers in the shortest commercially reasonable time.
VMware will deliver a fix with the next planned maintenance or update release of the product and where relevant, VMware will release the fix in the form of a patch.
Moderate, Low
VMware will deliver a fix with the next planned minor or major release of the product.

Leonidas was one of the treats from the UK that I haven't heard of before. They're not based in the UK either, as they're a traditional Belgian chocolatier and are pretty widely distributed around the world. I feel this sampling of a few of their chocolate bars seems like a good indication of what kind of products I can expect from Leonidas. I was especially eager to try them, considering the experiences I've had from Belgium chocolatiers in the past have been less than noteworthy. I'm hoping these will change my mind!
White: I chose to sample this bar first since white chocolate is a pretty good indication of the quality and style of the chocolatier. I had high hopes right away, as the bar smells sweet, buttery and fatty from the real cocoa butter in here.
The bar itself is pristine and ivory colored. Gorgeous.
The flavor is extremely rich. The texture is very thick, buttery and smooth on the tongue. There's a nice sweetness to it and it's not too much. The chocolate is very creamy, milky and buttery as the aroma indicated. It has a good cocoa butter taste and it's not polluted with lots of vanilla, which is how I like my white chocolate.
54% Nibs Bar: Leonidas calls this bar "dark", even though I don't consider a 54% cocoa solids to be a dark. I digress, as I don't want to get into semantics here.
The bar is very deep in color, showing a rich brown with nice cool undertones. The back shows the nibbly texture which is lightly bumpy.
The chocolate smells of cocoa, vanilla, cream, cocoa, coffee and berries.
Breaking off a piece, the snap is very crisp because of the thinness of the bar. It also breaks easily and it's mostly clean with only a few small air bubbles.
The flavor is extremely rich. The chocolate tastes, well, chocolatey, as opposed to being clouded by milk and sugar. There's nice flavors of coffee, cream and vanilla which are very complimentary. The mouth feel is extremely slippery and rich. The nibs have a roasted flavor and provide a nice subtle crunchy texture. It's not crispy, as the nibs are a little soft. The contrast is just lovely.
Feuilletine: It took me a moment to figure out how to describe how the wafers in this bar are different than the ones you find in, oh, say a Kitkat. These are denser and crunchier like waffle cones.
The back of the bar is quite bumpy and there's lots of visible air bubbles. It doesn't look like it was tempered well, as if it was a rush job. The break is also just ridden with bubbles, which makes me suspicious. But, there's no sign of wafers in my break either, which I'm confused by. Where are they?
The flavor is lacking. I get sweetness, a little dairy tang, but there's not a lot of chocolate flavor. The wafers are actually crumbles in the chocolate that are small and crunchy. You can really feel them when you chew. The deliver a very salty flavor that appears halfway through the taste as you eat a piece. It's very odd.
Dark Orange: Beautiful dark and has a very bright, zesty, citrusy smell. It smells more like tangerine to me than orange. The break is nice and clean.
The flavor is first of the dark chocolate which is mildly sweet, very rich with nice deep cocoa flavors. Then the orange comes in, not too strong or overly artificial, it's fresh and zesty and light and just kisses the chocolate. It's really nice and smooth as the two flavors combine and melt together. A beautiful pairing and I wish I had more of this bar.
Aside from the Feuilletine bar, I was impressed with these. The chocolate had dignity and wasn't too sugary like I find most Belgium chocolates are. I'll have to make a special trip to go visit their new store in New York City to take a peek at their other offerings.
Rating: Will Eat Again

This is a family hit! My not-so-healthy extended family members even love this recipe. I always use green sauce since we don't really love red enchilada sauce and sometimes add a jalapeno to kick it up!
Chilaquiles Casserole
From EatingWell: June/July 2006
Our version of this enchilada-style chilaquiles casserole is packed with nutritious beans and vegetables. Canned prepared enchilada sauce has great flavor and keeps the prep time quick. It can vary in heat level so find one that suits your taste. If you want to eliminate the heat altogether, try a green enchilada sauce (which is often milder than red) or substitute two 8-ounce cans of plain tomato sauce.
162 Reviews for Chilaquiles Casserole
It is very tasty, I have 5 kids from ages 5-16 and they loved it wanting more. The only thing I did different was add mild green chillis and I used stone ground corn tortilla for a more authentic tortilla that gives it a thicker and more authentic taste.
Love this recipe. So easy, and delicious -- hard to believe it's so healthy. I cut the enchilada sauce in half and added tomato sauce in place of the other half to cut back on spiciness (for my young kids). Also used canned sweet corn. Just perfect!
This is not how i was shown to make Chilaquiles and we just made it on Sunday... We had it with fried corn tortilla, tomato and chili sauce, and white and chedder cheese. It was topped with avacado and sour cream. We also added scrambled egg because we made it as a breakfast meal. It didnt have veggies...and it didnt look anything like your picture. The recipe i was shown was great. The first time I had it my friend added chicken instead of egg for a dinner meal.
This is very easy and very delicious. I added jalapeno, green pepper, garlic, chopped the zucchini, and used spicy red enchilada sauce. There was no sogginess - I made sure to cook the vegetables down and used a slotted spoon to transfer the veggies from the pan and into the casserole dish. I will probably try adding shredded chicken next time. This was YUM!

|April 2011 E-Mail Question & Answers
2011 Topps Gypsy Queen Baseball UPC Redemption For Missing Hits
2010 UD Exquisite Football RC Bookmark Y Redemptions
Question: Is it known yet who the players are for the Rookie Bookmark Y redemptions???
Answer: It is not known yet. Upper Deck wanted to leave room because they were not sure whom they were going to get to sign for their set. I'm not a big fan of doing redemptions that way but it appears as though Upper Deck will start doing them like that. At the Industry Summit in March 2011, Upper Deck got positive feedback from store owners who liked the idea of 'mystery' redemption cards - as Upper Deck could fulfill them with the players they could readily attain. Also, the theory is if its a 'mystery' redemption, there is a good chance the company could redeem them all. The challenge is, on the secondary market - its tough to buy/sell them. I would expect the announcement to come first via the company Twitter and/or Facebook.
1988 Sporting News Publishing Company Conlon Collection 30 Card Set
Question: I have come across this set a guy is wanting me to sell for him. He says he has been told from several people that it is extremely rare and valuable! Here it is and thanks for your help!
Answer: I'm not 100% sure on complete set value, but it appears the cards are not all that particularly rare (as most weren't in 1988)
2011 Upper Deck Football Dan Marino Card
Question: You show the Dan Marino card on your site but there is no Marino card in the set. Is this card a short print or will it be part of a series 2 later in the year?
Answer: That was a picture of a very early mock-up that UD released several months before the release of the set. Thanks for letting me know. As far as I know - they do not have plans on a Series 2 and they probably just canceled the Dan Marino Card for some reason.
2011 Upper Deck 25 Stripe Football Cards
Question: Can you tell me what kind of cards you would get for these redemption cards?
Answer: You receive 25 of the players regular rookie card from 2011 Upper Deck. The same ones found in packs - just with no stripe. Its an idea that stems back to the early 1990's when a company called Wild Card did a similar promotion. The 'unredeemed' version of Brett Favre RC Card sell for good money.
2011 Upper Deck Football SP Autographs
Question: Do you guys know if any of the Rookie Autographs are SP'd? Some are claiming that a few are, but I haven't seen anything yet. For instance, Jacquizz Rodgers. His auto SP'd? Thanks guys! Love the site!
Answer: That is a good question - I've seen some sites throw up a 'Sp' list that maybe they researched on eBay. Upper Deck probably did put some Sp's within the auto set. I will have to wait for UD to come up with an official list - because I would hate to be wrong.
Selling A 2008 Bowman Chrom Jesus Montero Auto
Question: Should I sell my 2008 Bowman Chrome Jesus Montero Autographed Baseball card? It is going for $60 - $70 on the bay. He is hitting .400 right now. And you know once someone goes to the BIGS their AVG. goes down ...look at Brandon Belt. Please reply, because you are my sportscards financial advisor!
Answer: I'm always looking to sell, even though it doesn't always work out every time (as some guys just continue to go up).
2010/11 Panini Hall of Fame Basketball Pat Riley #115
Question: I put together the base set of the 2009-10 Panini Basketball Hall Of Fame set. My set contains 149, but the Panini checklist states there are 150 cards. I checked the Beckett Price Guide and they have 149 cards. The missing card is #115 Pat Riley. Do you know if the #115 Pat Riley card exists?
Answer: Good question - a quick search around and there are no Pat Riley cards from that set that I can find. I'm guessing they just canceled it for some reason towards the end of production. My guess would be that there was a production error on the card that couldn't be fixed in time, so they just scrapped the card. I'll make a note of that on the checklist and thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Hall of Fame Basketball Status In 2011/12
Question: Do you know if Panini is coming out with another Basketball Hall of Fame set this year?
Answer: I'm not sure on Hall of Fame for this season. I haven't heard anything about Studio, Court Kings, Crown Royale, National Treasures or Hall of Fame - which were sets last year. I'm guessing that Gold Standard replaced one, if not two sets (probably Studio, but I'm not sure) ... My guess would be that they would do another HOF set, since they had an agreement they signed last year with them, but it would be a post-season release like last year.
UPDATE: The day I send this e-mail, Panini announces 10/11 Panini Totally Certified Basketball, and I have early release dates for Season Update, Hoops and National Treasures basketball here. Still no word on Hall of Fame Basketball.
What Sports Card Wholesaler To Choose
Question: Read your list of wholesalers and wanted to know from your experience where would be the best place to go If I wanted to sell boxes of cards on ebay. Which wholesaler would I go to be able to make a profit.
Answer: Thanks for the e-mail. I would try as many as you could ... Including All Sports Marketing, Global Sports, Peach State Sports, Edgeman and others. Upper Deck and Panini have recently changed the rules regarding sales online of new product without a physical store-front, so you'll want to check into that before you plan on selling their current products. Having as many options as you can is usually the best way to shop around when you find a box that is selling well online.
2010 Topps Heritage Baseball Dice Game Variations
Question: I just found your website while trying to find info on this set of cards. Great stuff by the way!! I appreciate any help you can provide as to which players are part of the game and if there is any info on how to play the game. I have one card with Chase Utley but it is not numbered that I can see. I would like to try and get the other 18 if possible but need to know who and what I am looking for. I went to a local card shop and they had no idea what I was talking about. Thank you for your time and look forward to hearing back from you.
Answer: It sounds like you found the rare dice game variation cards from 2010 Topps Heritage Baseball. Those cards pay homage to a set Topps released back in 1961. I believe these are all the cards from the set:
2011 Topps CC Sabathia Gold With No Serial Number
Question: I have added scans of both the front and the back of my Topps 2011 Gold parallel CC. Sabathia card, as I understand it all of these cards are serial numbered to 2011, but as you can see this one has nothing?! I can't find anyone else who has had a gold parallel like this one, so any help would be great and how much value would this card have if any?
Answer: The value would all depend, you'd really need at least 2 people bidding against it to get a big price on eBay, or find a CC Sabathia fan that really wanted the card. I'd think that it would have a similar value to a non-auto CC Sabathia card #1/1 or #/5 or less, considering there is possibly less than a handful of these around. But its possible you could get more if you could get verification from Topps. My guess is that it was a printing error - as its possible the cards are made, then serial numbered. For quality control purposes they probably keep some gold cards un-numbered, just in case they need to re-print a particular card. This card is probably the 'extra' CC Sabathia's that they had, and it accidentally made it into real packs.
2011 Topps Opening Day Baseball Toys R US Exclusives
Question: I really enjoy your site and just wanted to let you guys know that there are special inserts only available at Toys R Us. Geoffrey the giraffe has been added for one card to 5 teams. I've included the checklist if that helps you out. If you guys are already aware, I'm sorry just thought I'd help out :-)
Answer: Thanks for the heads up! I never would have noticed those cards. Took me awhile to find a picture of one! I've updated the Opening Day Checklist with your information. Thanks again, if you ever notice anything is missing from any of our checklists feel free to send me an email anytime! Thanks for coming to our site!

How can one prove the validity of this trigonometric identity? \begin{equation} 2\arccos\sqrt{x} = \frac{\pi }{2}-\arcsin(2x-1) \end{equation}
Sign up

EDITED in response to valdo's answer.
Your identity $$ 2\arccos \sqrt{x}=\frac{\pi }{2}-\arcsin (2x-1),\qquad 0\le x\le 1\tag{0}, $$ may be rewritten as $$ \arcsin (2x-1)=\frac{\pi }{2}-2\arccos \sqrt{x},\qquad 0\le x\le 1\tag{1}. $$
For identity $(1)$ to be valid$^1$ it is enough that
$$ \sin \left( \arcsin (2x-1)\right) =\sin \left( \frac{\pi }{2}-2\arccos \sqrt{ x}\right).\tag{2} $$ The LHS of $(2)$ is $$\sin \left( \arcsin (2x-1)\right) =2x-1,\tag{3}$$ and the RHS, $$ \sin \left( \frac{\pi }{2}-2\arccos \sqrt{x}\right) =\cos \left( 2\arccos \sqrt{x}\right) =2\cos ^{2}\left( \arccos \sqrt{x}\right) -1\tag{4}. $$ And so, it is enough that we have
$$2x-1 =2\cos ^{2}\left( \arccos \sqrt{x}\right) -1 =2\left( \sqrt{x}\right) ^{2}-1 =2x-1,\qquad x\ge 0,\tag{5} $$
which is indeed an identity. Consequently, all the previous identities are valid e so, also the given identity $(0)$.
$^1$ See valdo's detailed explanation in his answer.
I fully agree with Américo Tavares's solution, except one little moment.
If you prove that
a = b + 2πn (n - any integer)
a = π - b + 2πn (n - any integer)
The proof would be complete if we prove that only (1) is possible, whereas n=0.
Let's start with LHS. We have
Now let's look at RHS.
Taking into account the whole RHS we get -π/2 for x=0, and π/2 for x=1 (and it's ascending). Which equals to the LHS.
Worth to add that both sides are continuous and smooth functions inside the domain (excluding the endpoints).
From all that we can deduce that indeed LHS and RHS are equal on the defined domain
OK, just for fun let's try another method. If you know calculus, show that both sides have the same derivative with respect to $x$ (it's $-1/\sqrt{x-x^2}$) and also show that the two expressions are equal when $x=1$ (or when $x=0$ or whatever).
$\cos(2\arccos(\sqrt{x})) =\cos(\frac{\pi}{2}-\arcsin(2x-1))$
Since $ \cos(\frac{\pi}{2}-\alpha)=\sin(\alpha)$ we may write:
$2(\cos(\arccos(\sqrt{x})))^2 -1= \sin(\arcsin(2x-1))$
$2(\sqrt{x})^2 -1=2x-1$

ZF-8320: $_log in Zend_View_Abstract seems to be unused anywhere
I think it could be removed from Zend_View_Abstract without trouble.
It was added back in r10130 which was done 7/16/08. IT was a bunch of changes that Matthew did while working with Zend_Dojo.
I've sent him an email asking him about it.
Thank you, Jon Whitcraft ;) I will be happy if this could help for some improvement.
Reassigning back to Jon - sorry, I should watch the change dates more closely ;).
This was an artifact from testing the Dojo integration. I've now removed it in trunk and the 1.9 release branch.

As ordered reported by the House Committee on Agriculture on March 20, 2013
Under current law, derivatives clearing organizations (DCOs) and swap data repositories (SDRs) must report information about swap transactions to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), or in the case of SDRs that receive information about securities-based swaps, to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). (A swap is a contract that calls for an exchange of cash between two participants, based on an underlying rate or index or the performance of an asset.) Such information also must be shared with other regulatory agencies, both foreign and domestic, if those agencies request the information and agree to certain conditions.
H.R. 742 would eliminate one of those conditions—that agencies requesting the information indemnify the SDRs and the CFTC (or the SEC for security-based swap information) for expenses that arise from litigation related to the shared information. The bill would still require the regulatory agencies requesting the information to agree to certain confidentiality requirements prior to receiving the data.
Based on information from the CFTC and the SEC, CBO expects that implementing the provisions of H.R. 742 would not require a significant increase in their workloads because neither agency expects to revise rules already in place. Therefore, CBO estimates that any change in discretionary spending to implement the legislation would be insignificant. Further, under current law, the SEC is authorized to collect fees sufficient to offset the cost of its annual appropriation each year; therefore, we estimate that the net cost to the agency would be negligible, assuming annual appropriation actions consistent with that authority.
Based on information from several federal financial regulators, CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 742 would have an insignificant effect on direct spending and revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Under current law, any litigation expenses of the federal government related to sharing information about swap transactions, in certain instances, would be paid by foreign regulators. Under the bill, such expenses would become a federal liability. Because the regulations have only been finalized within the past year and any potential litigation is unlikely to be resolved quickly, CBO expects those costs would not arise in the next 10 years.
H.R. 742 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal governments.

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. The person who lives the Beatitudes knows that God is the source of all he needs. Although he develops his human skills and asserts himself as necessary, the Lord's servant never believes he has to hurt another to get what he needs. The meek are strong and secure in their dependence on God. They will have a healthy ability to fight for their rights, but will not do so with an anxious need to dominate. In the Lord, they know they will inherit the earth.
The Culture of Death, on the contrary, is built on the idea that sometimes you have to do violence to advance your rights, your career, or your freedom. The violence of abortion is seen as a path to fulfillment.

Live longer by ditching your most dangerous fat
If you suddenly feel like you're carrying more weight around your waist, you're not going crazy. "Belly fat increases by 50 percent as women approach and go through menopause," says endocrinologist Reza Yavari, MD. If this fat sits just under the skin, there's a good chance it's mainly a cosmetic issue. However, if you have visceral fat—the deep ab fat that surrounds your organs—you may be at an increased risk of developing diabetes and metabolic syndrome, a cluster of symptoms that predispose you to heart disease. Fortunately, there are some simple changes you can make to attack both types of fat. Here are 42 of the best.
The neighborhood-waistline link is an emerging area of obesity research. One study found that people who live in the most walkable communities are on average six pounds lighter than those in the most sprawling suburbs. Another survey of nearly 11,000 Atlanta residents found that those who spent the most time in cars were more likely to be obese than those who walked to shops and offices.
Daily activity is essential: 91 percent of National Weight Control Registry participants exercise for an hour a day, usually walking. If you don't exercise, start with 10-minute walking sessions until you've built up to 30 minutes every other day. Once you're in the habit, revamp every six weeks by varying the routine: work out at a more intense pace, or try a new activity.
Retrain yourself to make exercise a habit that's as regular as brushing your teeth. For the first month, just strive to get the gym, class or workout.
Doris Lancaster's secret weapon is her food diary. On FitDay, a free, private online log, she keeps track of everything she puts in her mouth. "It's tedious, but I know if I have a milkshake, it's going on my permanent record," she says. The diary has also helped her identify eating patterns and triggers, and knowing what drives her to overeat or crave unhealthy foods makes her less likely to succumb.
"I was thin until I turned 30, when I seemed to put on 30 pounds overnight," Jennefer Witter says. "I even accused my dry cleaner of shrinking my clothes!" She lost the weight by working with a nutritionist, and weigh-ins after her 30-minute cardio and weight-training sessions have kept her trim since. "I get on the scale virtually every morning," she says.
National Weight Control Registry members say regular self-weighing is crucial: 75 percent climb on the scale at least once a week, and half weigh in daily. "People try to track their weight by how their clothes feel, but by the time your pants are tight, you may have gained 10 pounds," says NWCR cofounder Rena Wing. The key to daily weighing is not to overreact. Your weight can fluctuate by up to four pounds on any given day. Instead, notice patterns: "I don't freak out if I'm suddenly two pounds up. But if the number steadily climbs, I add 10 extra minutes of cardio to my workout until the weight comes back down," Witter says.
If you leave exercise to chance, you won't fit it in. Make workout appointments that can't be broken. Either carve out the same times every week and stick to that schedule or, if you don't have a set routine, plan a week or even a month ahead.
Some gyms, like Equinox, will text you reminding you to attend the class you signed up for. Just another reminder to help you make fitness happen. Another effective tool: cell phone alarms.
A one-hour daily workout leaves 23 hours for unhealthy habits, such as eating too much and not getting enough sleep. To succeed, think about improving every aspect of your lifestyle.
Your metabolism is slower now, and it's easier to gain weight. To counter this tendency, burn 10 extra calories an hour. Two minutes of moderate activity, such as jumping jacks or stair walking, will do the trick.
Debbie Chabot tried every weight-loss scheme imaginable, and then she found a diet coaching service online. During weekly 30-minute phone calls, her coach helped her identify unhealthy eating patterns and gave her a safe place to talk about her insecurities regarding her weight. Before that, "I never had a person who cheered on my successes or guided me if I got off track," says Chabot, who still checks in with her coach every week or so.
Having a cheerleader can be a big asset for weight maintenance. A study found that dieters who had social support from family and friends lost more weight over an 18-month period than those who didn't. Internet support groups like Weight Watchers and eDiets provide a virtual community to help you achieve weight loss.
The over-40 body needs variation in movement or it will suffer wear-and-tear injuries (and boredom). Vary your routine. And never work to the point where your joints hurt.
If your commute leaves you with no free time, try to fit exercises into your workday. Find simple strength exercises or stretches to do while seated (on a train or bus), climb the stairs for ten minutes on your lunch break or walk swift laps around your building for about 20 minutes before you get into the office.
Vow to do an activity that will get you breathing hard for at least 10 minutes, seven days a week. "Even if you just set the timer on the kitchen stove and vigorously clean the house or run up and down the stairs, you'll do something good for your heart—and your waistline," says Andrea Metcalf, a Chicago-based trainer.
Dumbbell exercises involve a greater number of muscles because your body—and not an exercise machine—provides stability. And the more muscles you work, the more calories you burn.
Eating five or six smaller meals instead of three larger ones can help prevent both hunger and overeating. Mini meals steady blood sugar levels, and slow down the release of insulin, a hormone that can cause your body to store more fat, explains Maye Musk, RD, a New York-based nutritionist.
"When you reach 40, it becomes harder for your muscles to recover from exercise and you need more protein to assist in the repair process," says Lisa Dorfman, RD and sports nutritionist. Try to eat about half your body weight in protein grams every day.
Increase the intensity of your aerobic routine to near your limit for anywhere from 20 seconds to two minutes, then spend about an equal amount of time exercising at a level that feels comfortable. Continue alternating the sequence during your workout.
Research has shown that light physical activity—including walking, stretching or just moving about—significantly reduces next-day soreness.
Give yourself the occasional green light for forbidden foods, despite how many calories a treat may contain. Once you let yourself decide, you may find that instead of wanting to eat too much of a forbidden high-calorie food, you're satisfied with a small portion because you know you can have it again in the future.
During the perimenopausal transition (which takes seven to 10 years), what feels like a need for food can often be exhaustion instead. When you're craving a quick fix—something most easily found in a vending machine or deli, in the form of fatty, processed food—try another tactic before assuming you're hungry.
The more you grab meals on the go and then multitask, the easier it is to lose track of how much you're actually consuming. Be more mindful when eating (feel the textures, inhale the aromas), because engaging your senses slows down the process, leaving you more satisfied.
This tool helps you connect your hunger level to your activity level. If you know for a fact you haven't moved that many steps, you may realize you aren't as hungry as you thought.
Tight muscles can interfere with your ability to get a good workout because you may not move as quickly or freely, and thus may burn fewer calories.
By midlife many long-term dieters have learned to rely on scheduled mealtimes—rather than their body's signals—to decide when to eat. Just because the clock says 1 p.m., that doesn't mean you need a big meal.
Eating small amounts of food several times a day has kept the weight off for Michaela McKenna.
"In the past, I'd be too busy to eat until the afternoon," McKenna says. "Then, when the kids came home from school, I'd start grazing. I'd eat 4,000 calories by bedtime." Now her daytime food choices consist of yogurt and a handful of almonds, or a high-protein cereal bar and fruit. At dinner she eats a small portion of whatever her family is having, such as fish and whole-wheat pasta. Eating frequently keeps her blood sugar level even, so she doesn't have the energy highs and lows that used to lead to cravings.
If you graze throughout the day, make sure to keep the quantity per sitting to a minimum, says Molly Kimball, RD, of the Ochsner Clinic's Elmwood Fitness Center, in New Orleans. "Aim for 200 to 300 calories per meal, about every three to four hours."
To lose what you have to know what you're eating, and when you go out to eat, you never know what they're putting on your plate.
For most of her adult life, Lisa Skiles struggled against what people called her big-boned frame. Since losing weight with the help of a diet program, she has maintained her impressive loss through careful planning. Rule one: She decides what she'll eat that day when she gets up in the morning. "Lunch with a friend means I'll eat more than normal, so I'll plan on a light dinner," Skiles says.
Skiles also knows her order before she walks into a restaurant. Judith Beck, PhD, author of The Beck Diet Solution, says spontaneous eating may mean you'll choose foods based on cravings, which usually means higher- calorie foods. Eating small portions of favorite foods is also key, according to Beck, 53, who has maintained a 15-pound weight loss for 10 years: "I like a treat at night, so I allow myself up to 250 calories of whatever I want. The trick is limiting it to after dinner, which motivates me to eat healthy the rest of the day."
Replace large dinner plates with smaller salad plates and you cut one-third of the calories in each meal, according to Milton Stokes, RD.
It takes 20 to 30 minutes for the fullness cue to travel from the stomach to the brain. But over-40 women can have an even harder time knowing when to stop eating, because the hormones that signal satiety are among those that fluctuate during perimenopause. Eating more slowly can help you eat less.

A building on Main Street that houses a small lodging property upstairs and commercial space on the street level was sold earlier in December, an attorney who represents the buyer said.
The deal involved a building at 545 Main St., near the street's midpoint and next to the Claim Jumper building. Joe Wrona, the attorney for the buyer, declined to make public the price that was paid for the property.
He said a firm called 545 Main Street Holdings, LLC purchased the property. The firm shares the same business address in Oklahoma City as the owner of the Claim Jumper. Wrona said the principals of the two entities are "certainly friendly with one another." They control side-by-side buildings at a high-profile location on Main Street.
Summit County values the building at 545 Main St. and the land it sits on at a little less than $2.7 million. Property taxes were $25,583.76 in 2012. The listed owner -- the seller -- was a firm called 545 LLC, based in downtown Salt Lake City. The County Courthouse's online property records had not been updated by Friday morning to reflect the sale.
Wrona said the transaction did not involve Ken Abdalla. Wrona has represented Abdalla in a series of property purchases along Main Street in recent years.
Wrona said the building at 545 Main St. occupies a desirable location that is centrally located along Main Street. He also said it offers the owner lots of options for its use. A real estate showcase is on the street level, something that is now prohibited by City Hall.
"What you have is a very flexible building," Wrona said.
The sale continues a string of transactions on or just off of Main Street amid the downturn in the economy. Abdalla was especially aggressive and others have made purchases as well. Some of the notable properties that have changed hands in recent years include the Sky Lodge, the Imperial Hotel and the Claim Jumper.
The buyers have seen Main Street being desirable even amid the downturn. The street remains a prime shopping, dining and entertainment strip, and it has seemed to fend off challenges from outlying districts like those in the vicinity of Kimball Junction. Park City voters on Election Day, meanwhile, passed a ballot measure dealing with sales taxes that will provide funding for improvements meant to spruce up the streetscape.
Wrona pointed to lots of development outside the Main Street district in the last decade or so as having the effect of reinforcing Main Street as the core of the community.
"People that are buying the properties on Main Street see historic Main Street as ultimately being the center of activity in winter and summer," Wrona said.

Walk and Roll & SRTS heading to a school near you
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Wednesday is Walk and Bike to School Day and many schools in Colorado are also having Walk and Roll events encouraging kids to walk or bike to school more often. Heatherwood Elementary just completed their week long Walk and Roll Event with huge success. Here is what the Walk and Roll lead at Heatherwood had to say
Heatherwood Elementary, located in Boulder, just wrapped up it's fall Walk and Roll Week. With many classes reaching near 80% participation this was the largest Walk and Roll Week the school has ever had. Students and parents were encouraged to walk or ride bikes to school every day this week and were greeted with treats from local sponsors like Moe's Bagels, Rudi's Bakery, Clif Bar, and the Smiling Moose Deli. The culmination of the week's events was an all school assembly where a new bike, donated by Dr. Donovan Martin of Studio One Dental, was raffled off and everyone enjoyed smoothies donated by RUSH. With so many kids arriving to school by foot or bike, bus drivers were feeling a bit lonely this week and car traffic around the school dropped to around 20 cars as opposed to the typical 90+ cars. One Heatherwood teacher commented on the great energy around the school this week and the sense of community with so many families converging on the school by bike. Heatherwood is looking to keep it going by participating in International Walk to School Day this coming Wednesday, Oct. 6th.
It's not just for young kids either!

THE JOY FORMIDABLE, THE URBAN LOUNGE, Friday, March 29, 9 p.m., $18 at the door
When The Joy Formidable announced their presence as a bracing new force in music with the arrival of the band's 2011 debut, The Big Roar, it was a welcome jolt of big, bombastic rock and roll. The Welsh trio is back with a follow-up album that is even better. Wolf's Law is another set of memorable tunes, and their songwriting hasn't taken a leap forward on songs like "This Ladder is Ours." If powerful, insistent hooks, big guitar rock and lady-wailed vocals are your thing, The Joy Formidable is ready to be your favorite band. Fort Lean and Guards open the show.

It seems only fitting to meet Julia Louis-Dreyfus in a coffee shop. She is, after all, Elaine, the hilarious, no-topic-is-taboo Seinfeld character who, with her pals Jerry (Seinfeld), George (Jason Alexander) and Kramer (Michael Richards), routinely slid into a booth at Monk's Café to hash over the issues of the day—steam room protocol, close talkers, rogue diaphragms. Twenty years later, Louis-Dreyfus looks like Elaine's hipper sister. On a wintry afternoon in Santa Monica she could be mistaken for a grad student: upscale riff on an army jacket, black loose-fitting pants, a scarf twirled around her neck, large dark-framed glasses. If fellow diners at Caffe Luxxe recognize her, they're not giving themselves away. When it comes to spotting celebrities, she says, "nobody in L.A. gives a shit."
Or lets on that they do. Confronted with the comedy icon that is Julia Louis-Dreyfus, the coffee shop customers are more likely just playing it cool: Elaine's navigation of our culture's pesky social nuances was one of the key reasons Seinfeld became must-see TV. She got down with the boys (most memorably in the "master of your domain" episode) but was always our proxy, The Girl, brilliantly interpreting the role of smart, often shameless, always extravagantly funny female sidekick. Louis-Dreyfus is now deploying her potent comic arsenal as struggling Vice President Selina Meyer on HBO's Veep, which begins its second season April 14.
She did her homework for the role. "I talked to a couple of vice presidents," she says, without naming names. (Joe Biden and Al Gore are good bets.) "And I spoke to people on the Hill, chiefs of staff, people in the vice president's office, in the Senate offices, lobbyists, just to get a feeling for the inside culture, the nitty-gritty of it all. One chief of staff told me that she slept with her BlackBerry on a pillow next to her head because she had to be available 24 hours a day."
A large number of her character's dilemmas arise from being center stage—a familiar predicament for Louis-Dreyfus, who finds similarities in the worlds of Hollywood and politics. "As an actor, there's always another job that you want that you might not get," she says. "There's always someone who is more successful or more famous. They're publicly competitive careers, and both worlds are male dominated, so I bring all of this to playing Selina."
But the actress herself bears little resemblance to that comic character. "She is not in any way starry or conscious of her status," says Armando Iannucci, the show's British producer and creator. "She just wants to be part of the team. When we have a guest actor who's about to work with her for the first time, you can sense their excitement but also nervousness. Julia will do her best to make them not feel worried. I have heard stories of her falling over on her face to make them feel at ease. She's very good at falling over."
The veep she portrays does a lot of face planting, too, but metaphorically; she's routinely blindsided by the capital's culture of posturing, intimidation and rabid ambition. But what's painful for Selina is endlessly entertaining for the audience. Nobody does smart-goofy like Louis-Dreyfus, whose Selina is both authoritative and crippled with insecurity, speeding from classy to crass within a single sentence. Often ignored, she exorcises her frustration with elaborate profanities, which seem that much funnier coming from a perfectly coiffed five-foot-three woman in Dior suits and staggering heels. The expletives trip naturally off Louis-Dreyfus's tongue; she uses them freely offscreen, too. "I don't know how not to," she says. "It's part of who I am. I think if I was having tea with the queen, I would remember not to say, 'Pass me the fuckin' sugar,' but beyond that . . ."
Louis-Dreyfus remembers the first time she got a laugh onstage. "It was a silly short play called Serendipity," she says. "I was in fourth grade playing a queen. I was supposed to faint, and everyone laughed. I thought, I didn't mean to be funny, but I'll take it." Even today, she says, acting is "like scratching a deep itch for me. I love getting into the skin of a character. I love being funny. I love making people laugh. I love being on a set and the camaraderie. It's a very pleasant task. I'm just so happy to have been able to eke out a living at it."
Of course, Louis-Dreyfus's "eking" includes winning a Golden Globe for Seinfeld and three Emmys: one for Seinfeld; one for her 2006–10 series, The New Adventures of Old Christine; and one last year for Veep. She's been in two Woody Allen movies (Hannah and Her Sisters, Deconstructing Harry), has had recurring roles on Arrested Developmentand Curb Your Enthusiasm and has a star on Hollywood Boulevard (in an appropriately comic touch, her name was misspelled).
It's a Hollywood truism that the tone on a film or TV set trickles down from the name at the top of the call sheet. Louis-Dreyfus's Veep costars, a comic ensemble that works in balletic, bumbling concert, credit her with making their work a delight. "She's void of any kind of arrogance or entitlement," says Tony Hale, who plays Gary, an assistant so abjectly devoted to Selina that he picks up her pregnancy-test kits and breaks up with her boyfriend for her. "She's a fantastic actress and a fantastic person. It's the truth."
"Julia is also a producer on the show," says Anna Chlumsky, who plays Amy, Selina's chief of staff. "For some actors, that's a title in name only, but she's in tune with every bit of the production. The wheels are always turning on how we can make something cook even better. She's always on her A-game."
Amy Poehler, who was a cast member on Saturday Night Live when Louis-Dreyfus hosted the show in 2006 (the first female SNL alum to do so), has since become a good friend. "Here's the thing about Julia," she says. "She's a professional. She's kind. She's supersmart. But at the end of the day, she's fuckin' hilarious. It's just so fun to be around her."
She may downplay her celebrity, but Louis-Dreyfus is aware of what it can do. Longtime friend Laurie David, the ex-wife of Seinfeld co-creator Larry David, is a board member of the Natural Resources Defense Council and coproducer of the Al Gore documentary An Inconvenient Truth. David says she shared the actress's evolution: "We grew up together learning about the environment. Julia's one of those people who are very hands-on. She cares deeply about the ocean and climate and a variety of issues, and if anything is asked of her, she shows up. She's held picket signs and shot PSAs. I have a tremendous amount of respect for people who use their cachet and their resources for good, and Julia is one of those people."
Veep is filmed in Baltimore, midway between London, Iannucci's home, and L.A., where Louis-Dreyfus lives with her husband of 25 years, writer-director-producer Brad Hall. (A second home, a bastion of reclaimed woods, solar heating and greenness, is in Santa Barbara.) Their son Charlie is in high school, and their older boy, Henry, attends college on the East Coast. "Had Veep come along five years earlier, I would never have done it," Louis-Dreyfus says. "But because Charlie is 15, I think to leave for a couple of weeks at a time is OK, first and foremost because I've got a great partner, Brad, who is just an amazing daddy. If he wasn't, I couldn't do this. I wouldn't do it."
Henry's departure for college hit the couple hard. "It's a big adjustment, having a whole body out of the house," Louis-Dreyfus says. She and her husband explored the subject in a short film, Picture Paris, which Hall wrote and directed. Louis-Dreyfus starred as Ellen, a woman who deals with the heartache of her son's departure by obsessing over all things French. She learns to make pâté and say merde in just the right guttural tone. She leases a luxury apartment in Paris over the Internet. Her husband is less enthusiastic.
Hall and Louis-Dreyfus made the movie independently (HBO later picked it up for a December 2012 debut), shooting in L.A. and Paris. "It was a ball," she says, "but it was a lot of hard work. Our older son worked on the L.A. portion, but when we went to Paris, we were on a tight fuckin' budget, so just Brad and I went. We shot for a condensed period, 14- and 15-hour days. I loved it."
Despite comic elements, bizarre ones at that, Picture Paris isn't all laughs. "What's nice about a short film," says Hall, "is that a character can have quite a complicated inner life, but you have to express it in a very short amount of screen time. Julia's very skilled in that, and I thought it would be fun to have her play a couple of different colors that she's not known for."
The two, who met while they were theater students at Northwestern University, work together constantly. "I'm always asking Brad to read scripts or whether he likes the rough cut," says Louis-Dreyfus. "I seek his advice and his take on whatever I'm working on. Even if we're not, on paper, doing a project together, we're doing a project together."
"Jules and Brad are such a good team on so many fronts," says Louis-Dreyfus's sister Lauren Bowles, an actress (she plays Holly the waitress on True Blood). "She is truly his muse." Hall also wrote and produced the 2002 sitcom Watching Ellie for Louis-Dreyfus, casting her as a jazz singer. The show, costarring Bowles and Steve Carell, was shot with a single camera (before The Office ignited the trend), and each episode explored 22 real-time minutes of the character's life. "Watching Ellie was a great show," says Louis-Dreyfus. "Very inventive and a little ahead of its time, to tell you the truth."
Despite decades of career kudos, "the family life that she has created is, hands down, Jules's first priority and what she relishes the most," says Bowles. "She and Brad—my God, theirs is truly one of those love affairs that have never waned."
Asked if there's any secret to the longevity of their marriage, Louis-Dreyfus pauses before deciding that it was "good luck. We were just right for each other, and it just so happened that we found each other." What initially drew her to Hall, she says, was that "fundamentally, we share a similar set of values. That doesn't sound very sexy, I know. But at the end of the day, it's nice to know that's in place. Particularly because in this town, with all the smoke and mirrors, it's easy to believe and be seduced by your own hype. Success and failure are tricky here, maybe more so than in other businesses, except perhaps politics. In both universes, very often an image is being sold. The struggle is maintaining a sense of yourself and your ideals while selling that image. To have a safe place at home is that much more important."
Julia spent her early childhood in New York. Her mother, Judith, and father, William Louis-Dreyfus, a Frenchman who was the president of the billion-dollar commodities firm Louis Dreyfus Group, divorced when she was young. Her mother's second husband, Thompson Bowles (whom Julia also calls Dad), worked for Project Hope, and the new family moved overseas, living in Tunisia, Sri Lanka and Colombia before settling in Washington, D.C. "I remember all of it," Louis-Dreyfus says of the travel. "Particularly Sri Lanka. I was seven or eight, and it was a shock to go there from Manhattan." She was the only white girl in school, and although she was advanced in English, her classmates were ahead in math. "I have a very fond memory of my dad teaching me my multiplication tables by making it into a song and figuring out a dance to go with it," she says. "It was wonderful. Then my mom would tutor me in English. I looked forward to reading because there was no television, so books and stories became the replacement." She remembers the family passing around a copy of Little Women, then sobbing and being unable to finish when they got to Beth dying.
The family moved to Washington, where Louis-Dreyfus went to an all-girls school and became active in theater. She was a freshman at Northwestern when fellow undergrad Hall recruited her for a troupe he and a friend had started. "I was crazy about her before she even knew I was around," he says. It wasn't long before the prestigious Chicago comedy group Second City drafted her, and then, in 1982, Saturday Night Live came calling, hiring both Louis-Dreyfus and Hall as cast members. The couple moved to New York.
Both were unhappy. The SNL culture was "difficult," she says. "The show wasn't particularly friendly toward women." She and Hall, who fared somewhat better on the show as a news anchor, lasted three seasons. In 1986 they moved to L.A.; they married the following year. "I sort of went kicking and screaming," she says. "I said to Brad, 'Let's come out here for a little bit of time, but I don't want to have kids here. Let's just try to get some work and go back to New York.' "
Seinfeld, initially written for two guys, interrupted that plan. When NBC executives said the show needed a woman, Larry David, with whom the couple had worked on Saturday Night Live, brought in Louis-Dreyfus, and the outspoken Elaine Benes was born.
Elaine's bulky sweaters and boxy jackets concealed Louis-Dreyfus's pregnancies. Her work hours were family friendly; as toddlers, the boys went to the set, and when they were older, she was frequently finished for the day in time to pick them up from school. Though TV actors often use the summer hiatus to make movies, she turned down any project that would take her away from home. "I just couldn't bear to do it," she says.
With her second son's departure for college on the horizon, Louis-Dreyfus is thinking about her next phase. "I adore my children," she says, "and their growing up is bittersweet—mainly sweet; that's what people do, they grow up. As a parent, you're always worried about your children, but I'm looking forward to having a kind of freedom to go places and have adventures that I might not have been able to have when I was younger. That's what I'm telling myself right now, anyway."
Later this year she'll appear in a new movie from director Nicole Holofcener (Friends with Money), costarring James Gandolfini, as her love interest, and Catherine Keener. "The character I play is a masseuse and a little unkempt," she says. "I've got long, straggly hair and my Buddha things and my yoga pants." In this movie, too, her character grapples with a child leaving home. "Julia is very funny and down to earth and warm," says Holofcener, remembering their first meeting. "When she started talking about her son going away to college, she started to cry. I thought, OK, you're cast."
Louis-Dreyfus surprised Holofcener with how easily she summoned tears in scenes that called for them. But off camera, the actress says her fifties find her more unflappable—for the most part. "It's a little strange seeing yourself age," she says. "You can't believe it's happening to you. Having said that, I really like having life experience under my belt. I feel that I have a firmer sense of knowing what I'm doing. And I don't feel apologetic about it. That's a good feeling to have."

Miami Dolphins: Details of David Garrard's deal
David Garrard is presently the highest paid quarterback on the Miami Dolphins' roster.
Earlier this week the Dolphins signed Garrard to an incentive laden one-year deal that will paid him a $1 million signing bonus, and $2.25 million in base salary.
Garrard, who will complete with incumbent starter Matt Moore for the starting spot, will also receive a $100,000 workout bonus for participating in the team's offseason program.
Garrard also has up to $1.5 million in incentives that can be achieved for playing time, touchdowns scored, and win totals.
Without factoring in the incentives, Garrard will cost the Dolphins $3.35 million in 2012, which leaves the Dolphins approximately $7 million in salary cap space, which includes the $4.3 million the team saved by releasing starting strong safety Yeremiah Bell.
Moore, who led the Dolphins to a 6-6 record and produced a 87.1 quarterback rating last season, will make $2.75 million from the Dolphins in 2012.
His cap value is $3,775,0000, which factors in the signing bonus he received last year.
Both quarterbacks are in the final year of their deal, which means its highly likely that the Dolphins will select a quarterback early in the 2012 NFL draft.
Much like 2008, which was the first year of Bill Parcells, Tony Sparano and General Manager Jeff Ireland's reign over the franchise, the Dolphins plan to hold an open competition to determine who becomes the team's starting quarterback.
