The Fourth Thing I hate about your CV
In the discussion area there has been an interesting increase in the rate of worried (and worrying) questions about the way banks look into your past.
There seems to be a common idea that banks need your written permission to look into your past. That's simply untrue. I'm not a lawyer, but the idea simply does not survive any real scrutiny does it ?
The law varies from place to place, but banks have a legal duty to check that you are a "fit and proper person" to handle serious amounts of money. Of course a lack of bad evidence does not mean you are honest and competent, but they have to at least show that they tried to find out.
Often this is outsourced to firms like Kroll who get the business mostly becauase the banks has heard of them, and mostly because they do it cheap. I cannot promise that the background checking outfit will obey all laws, but I will say that their fees are simply too small to make organised law breaking worth the effort.
Who are you Banks will often want to make sure that you are the named individual, and that you have the legal right to work for them in that country. There is no point going through the checks below and proving that "X worked at Y firm and studied at Z university", if they don't know you are X.
University The whole point of the university examination system is to inform others of how well you have grasped a subject. Of course there are many universities and they often get really quite odd legal advice, so it is quite possible they will go through a phase of refusing to give it out on an effectively random basis. They also vary in how much detail they will give out. Headhunters are also supposed to check your background. I will say openly that it is easily the most pointless part of the recruitment process for me. The referee is chosen by the candidate, so is the person they think will say nice things, and will usually say you were a good person, even if they have just fired you because of your inability to work with them.
Credit Checks Most large firms have a credit check done on you. It is cheap, and may catch some evidence of "suspicious" activity. Many newbies have incurred debts and students are known to have a rather relaxed attitude to paying bills, so minor glitches are rarely a problem. There is a reasonably good system for international credit checks as well. They are less relaxed about when the courts are involved, and you may need to settle debts. If you have an issue here, then as soon as you get an offer, you should tell your HH and then HR. It is much better to tell than be found out, so that you can put your own spin on it.
Media Check Some background checkers search your name in various newspapers and other media. This is a highly noisy process since names are far from unique. Google on "Dominic Connor" and most of the first couple of page are me, but Star Trek is in there too...
Previous Employers Most contracts of employment explicitly tell you not to ever give any form of reference ever. Banks have been sued for serious money for giving bad references and your employer does not want to be sued because you said nasty things about the idiot who used to work with you. HR departments typically give minimal references with dates of employment, possibly a job title. No permission from you is need for this check.
Gaps Banks ask for explanations of gaps between jobs. They are an indication that leaving an employer was not your choice, and that needs to be covered. Typically they want an explanation of anything above 2 months or so.
The most important thing to know ...is that HR is trained to get very interested if they think you have something you are trying to hide. Even before I became a HH, I had managed people and knew that a larger % of people have "interesting" sections of their career than you might think. Do not try to lie. Although the process is far from perfect, lying about when one job ended and the next begun is likely to cause serious pain, and most probably loss of the job after you've started, which creates another hole, of an even worse kind. Being fired for lying on your resume does not look good to future employers. Many things about your employment are on records such as tax, company directorships, shareholdings and of course court cases. Much of this is publicly acessible to some degree.
In these troubled times, being fired is not such a badge of shame, and a large % of people have had various forms of involuntary career transition. Do not be tempted to hide things that go wrong. You don't need to use big fonts, or draw attention to it, but be prepared to honestly and carefully answer questions on this so that you present your case well.
If you have a gap, even if it is not "suspicious", you do need to show that the time was not wasted. Study, read papers or textbooks, write some piece of software or something. The important thing to show is that you did not sit around watching daytime TV waiting for the phone to ring.

College Hockey:ECAC West picks: Dec. 7
Went 4-2-0 last week, as I correctly picked Hobart to win the Wednesday game against Buffalo State in an early version of this blog I sent to my editor, and am now 22-4-3 to date (.810). We'll see how this week goes.
Friday-Saturday, Dec. 7-8
Fredonia vs. Elmira
Elmira (4-5-0, 2-4-0) suffered its first sweep of the season last weekend. Don't expect the Soaring Eagles to make it three straight defeats in this home-and-home series with the Blue Devils (4-6-0). Elmira 7-3, 5-4
Neumann at Morrisville
Neumann (4-4-1, 2-4-0) came up a goal short each night against front-running Hobart last week. Expect the Knights to take out any carry-over frustration on the struggling Mustangs (1-11-1). Neumann 4-1, 5-1
Saturday, Dec. 8
Nichols at Utica
Look for former Nichols forward and Utica leading scorer Louis Educate to put up some points against his old Bisons team (6-3-0), although it shouldn't be an easy game for the Pioneers (7-2-0, 3-2-0). Utica 5-3

Stellar Particle Physics: Neutrinos, Axions, and Massive Stars
Stars realize a variety of physical conditions inaccessible in the lab. Various stages of stellar evolution are influenced by microphysical processes that are sensitive to the fundamental properties of elementary particles. This makes it possible to use them as particle physics laboratories. Until recently, stars of 5-10 solar masses were not considered particularly useful for particle physics. I will discuss how the evolution of these stars can be qualitatively changed by neutrino magnetic moments or axion emission. In particular, the mere existence of Cepheid variable stars turns out to provide world's best bound on the axion-photon coupling in a broad range of parameters.

I don't know why this soap reminds me of the circus, but it does. It must be the bright colors . I've decided to call it – Big Top Circus.
To continue my youthful theme, this soap is scented with a combination of fresh bananas, grapefruit, kiwi, bubblegum and strawberries. The technique used is Spoon Swirl. It's a process of slowly layering and swirling color using a spoon. It sounds like a simple technique (and for the most part, it is), but it takes practice to create beautiful swirls, not to mention a fragrance that cooperates. I've got some practicing to do.
If you'd like to see other soaps created using the spoon swirl technique, take a look at Celene Blacow's work. She is probably one of the best spoon swirlers that I've seen. You can read her blog here or shop her store here. I have a bar of her Adam & Eve and I love it.
This soap is ready and available, so if you're interested in owning a bar of your very own please send me a message. Until next time – bon savon!

"Still looks the same as he did in college."
It's an opinion I keep hearing from folks, as Matt Purke was battered for his third loss in four starts in an 8-2 loss to Lynchburg. The problem is that this isn't TCU and the next start isn't next Friday, but next Wednesday (weather permitting, of course).
Even in this loss, which I'm sure folks are champing at the bit to pin on the defense (especially if you believe you can explain away extra-base hits to the gaps), the potential that got the southpaw drafted is evident. The velocity, which is good but not great, is there. The fastball has good movement. The curve can drop like a hammer.
But the command is not yet good enough for this level, which really shouldn't surprise anyone when factoring out age, bonus, or draft position. He's spent less than 50 innings over two seasons in Low-A, and just 18 in High-A. He's coming off shoulder surgery, which some believe was put off for far too long.
I'll leave it to the experts to analyze the mechanics, but Purke thus far looks like pitcher that hasn't spent enough time refining his stuff at the lower levels.
2 Responses to "Last Night In Woodbridge"
its time to put aside the hype and let this guy progress through the system, major league contract not withstanding. I hope he doesn't get frustrated by the process and is willing to put in the work. he's not there now that's for sure.
[…] Matt Purke was lit up for six runs on six hits over four and 1/3rd innings as the Hillcats battered the P-Nats, 8-2. Purke walked four and struck out two, with four of the six hits going for extra bases (three doubles and a triple). Michael Taylor doubled twice (once to left, one to right) to lead Potomac's nine-hit attack, which sputtered in the clutch with an 0-for-7 mark with RISP. As for my thoughts on Purke, an opinion/essay today for Last Night In Woodbridge. […]

Home-grown peaches are a little special, but not difficult if trees can be given cold winters, dry springs protected from frost, and plenty of warm sunshine in summer. They train well as fans on walls and fences, and may also be grown in containers or under glass. Covering plants with polythene in spring protects the blossom and also deters peach leaf curl. Like all stone fruits, they should be pruned between early spring and mid-autumn, when wounds heal quickly. 'Peregrine' is a reliable variety with high-quality, delicious, large fruits outdoors or under glass. The Royal Horticultural Society have given it their prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

Brand new dress, has never been worn, has not been altered, and is not damaged (tags still attached). The dress was just delivered to me from the designer by the store on 08/08/2013. I decided to have an informal wedding and so I purchased a less formal dress to wear instead. Unfortunately, the store where I purchased this dress had a "no returns/no exchanges" policy. This gorgeous empire waist designer bridal gown can be worn with or without its detachable vintage lace overlay skirt. Without, the dress fits and flares in all the right places, and its flowing tulle train is visible. The sweetheart bodice is made from Dolce Satin and features scalloped lace trim. The dress is pure white and has a chapel length lace train. This designer dress is sold at many major bridal stores (in case you are purchasing from out of state location and want to try it on before you purchase). Asking only half price for quick sale. My loss is your gain.

Miley Cyrus continues to show us what kind of music she wants to be making with her performance of Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell" at last night's VH1 Divas performance. Yes, Adam Lambert wasn't the only artist crossing gender lines with his song choice. Last week's holiday-themed burlesque performance was an early indicator that the former Disney Girl would go full-on grunge at some point—or at the very least defy expectations on her upcoming album. Clad in leather and spikes to ward off all who attempted to get handsy, Miley's performance proved that she would be the only person with the privilege of groping herself body on live television with numerous tugs at her crotch and chest. And it was all dedicated to her late pup Lila, who passed away last week! How very touching.
Yes, Billy Ray's little girl is singing and the crowd is loving it. Juliette Barnes wasn't the first lass to teach us that the term "diva" knows no age. And to top it all off, Destiny Hope was introduced by her sister in short, blonde, pixie cuts, Ms. Linnethia Leakes.
Sure, it's a long way from "Party in the U.S.A.," but from her hair to the stage dive, Miley's fully committing to this new brand of performing, and we're not complaining. (Also it works to further separate her from her Disney peers, if that was even still a question.) Check out her take on Billy, below.
Next stop for Ms. Miley: crotch-slapping. Watch your back, Rihanna.

Departed singer brings town
to standstill
His last performance was the 'Amazing Grace!'
By Arusha Times reporter
If a bomb was dropped in Arusha last weekend it probably would have caused the same effect as the funeral of the late Fanuel Sedekia, the pop-Gospel singer who died in Israel early this month.
The local stadium,
at which people gathered to pay last respect to the deceased was
fully-packed to the extend of security personnel being summoned to
maintained peace as people wept, cried out loud and a number of them
fainted amid the pandemonium.
who died aged 36 leaving behind a five-month pregnant wife and two
children wasn't as popular during his life as he was after he died. The
thousands who filled both the Sheikh Amri Abeid Stadium and the
adjacent Col. Middleton road on Saturday January 9, 2009 would probably
never have turned up in such multitude if the late singer was conducting
a concert at the same venue when he was alive.
Chaos marred the
occasion as crowds pushed and shoved their way into the venue prompting
the organizers to seek police help. The crowds also marched alongside
the hearse carrying Sedekia's coffin all the way from the Stadium to the
Njiro burial grounds later that afternoon.
According to Dr.
Christopher Mwakasege the popular preacher in whose entourage the former
singer had gone to Jerusalem last December, Sedekia was in the midst of
playing the classic hymn 'Amazing Graze,' on his piano when he was taken
ill and rushed to Poriah Hospital.
"He was diagnosed
with high blood glucose levels reaching 700
per deciliter," said Mwakasege adding that the normal level should clock
at 120 mg/dL which means the singer's diabetic condition was more than
serious. He died on the eve of January 5.
People lined up on
either sides of Moshi-Arusha highway on Friday, January 8 just to get a
glimpse of the vehicle carrying the late Sedekia's body which arrived
that day aboard Ethiopian airline plane and was met a Kilimanjaro
airport by hundreds of people.
His reception was
almost similar to those accorded to former American presidents, Bill
Clinton and George Bush when they visited Arusha in 2000 and 2008
A concert held in
Sedekia's honor at the Arusha Meru Secondary School grounds on the same
Friday was also attended by hundreds of people. His latest and final
studio album and video 'Katika Ibada' recorded a boost in sales around
local outlets in Arusha and is still getting frequent air playing in
local Fm stations.
Sedekia debuted in
music world in 1998 with his first compilation 'Unaweza' but it was his
second album, 'Kwa Sababu ya Pendo' released in 2001 which made him
popular around East Africa spawning hits like the title track itself and
the sing-along 'Hatukuwatupa watu watatu?' (Didn't we throw three
people?). This was followed by 'Unaweza-tena' in 2003 and other
recordings later on.
He went to Israel on the 18th of December, 2008 alongside 58 other people in Mwakasege's entourage comprising of delegates from Arusha, Kilimanjaro and Dar-es-salaam. One fateful evening as Sedekia sat down to play the hymn 'Amazing grace' he collapsed.

Why? Password Policies Stink.Password policies are ineffective. They block some strong password patterns and they let some weak password patterns fly on by. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon did some studies on the effect of password policies on password strength. They state that "Successfully creating a password is significantly more difficult under stricter password policies". They also found password length was the only significant predictor of eventual password strength. In summary: Password Policies Stink. They don't work because they do not measure strength, but instead measure how well you comply with good advice. You can follow the advice and still make terrible passwords.
Why don't we just measure password strength? OWASP Passfault measures password strength using the following steps:
1. Identify PatternsThese are patterns that OWASP Passfault identifies currently:
- Dictionary Patterns (currently English and Spainish)
- Words with mixed case
- Words with substituted special characters
- Words with inserted special characters
- Misspelled Words
- 133+ speak substitution
- Backwords words
- Keyboard Patterns (Currently US and Russian)
- Horizontal sequence of keys
- Diagonal sequence of keys
- Repeated keys
- Repeated Pattern
- Date Patterns
- Random set including international characters (currently latin and cyrillic)

WACO, Texas (AP) - Aaron Karas threw three touchdown passes and the Baylor defense provided a fumble return for a score and a goal-line stop that prevented a go-ahead touchdown early in the fourth quarter, helping the Bears stun Colorado 42-30 Saturday.
Rashad Armstrong ran for 166 yards and two touchdowns, including a 55-yarder that sealed one of the most surprising upsets in the eight-year history of the Big 12.
Baylor (3-2, 1-0) has won three straight for the first time since going 3-0 in 1996, which came before its first Big 12 game ever. The Bears were an ugly 4-52 in conference games, having lost seven straight and 37 of 38. The Buffaloes (2-3, 0-1) are on their first three-game skid since opening 0-4 in 2000.
And they didn't beat lowly Kansas or Iowa State as they did in three of their previous victories. This was two-time reigning North champion Colorado, which was ranked No. 17 a few weeks ago.
It didn't start out memorably as Baylor was shut out in the first quarter, making it nine straight quarters against Colorado without a point.
Then came a span fans won't soon forget: a spurt of 35 points in 17:15.
Karas led the Bears to touchdowns on four of five possessions, with the only non-score coming on a drive that began with 59 seconds and no timeouts at the end of the first half. Then the defense put Baylor ahead for good and kept it there.
Derrick Cash sacked Erik Greenberg, forcing a fumble that Jamaal Harper returned 7 yards for a touchdown that put the Bears up 28-23. Two snaps later, Greenberg fumbled a snap and Justin Crooks recovered, leading to a 3-yard touchdown by Armstrong and a 35-23 advantage.
Colorado got within 35-30 when a botched punt by Baylor set up a 29-yard touchdown pass from Greenberg to Derek McCoy. With 1:11 left in the fourth, it seemed like the Buffs' pedigree might help it pull through _ or that Baylor would be haunted by its losing ways.
Instead, on the first play of the fourth quarter, Crooks helped throw Brian Calhoun for a 2-yard loss on fourth down from the 1. The Bears then drove all 97 yards, with Armstrong doing most of the damage, especially his long TD run that made it 42-30.
The Buffs turned to Joel Klatt, who was superb in winning the first two games but hadn't played since hurting his throwing shoulder in the third game. His first pass was intercepted, marking the first of his career on his 93rd pass.
Baylor scored its second-most points in a Big 12 game and most in regulation. This was only the fourth time the Bears led a conference game after three quarters, and first since a 1998 loss to Texas.
Karas was 18-of-28 for 207 yards, with TDs of 8, 25 and 26 yards. Robert Quiroga had the 25-yarder among his eight catches for 113 yards.
Greenberg was 16-of-29 for 346 yards with two touchdowns, and Klatt finished 3-of-8 for 53 yards.

Skin Care Tips You Need to Implement During the Fall and Winter
This entry was posted on September 24, 2012.
As popular beauty products change based on seasonal trends from summer to fall, beauty trends also change based on necessity. As the temperature begins to drop, humidity changes, and amount of precipitation increases or decreases, our skin requires new products to properly weather the elements absent during spring and summer. To update our beauty regimens, we look to both fall trends and the weather to look our best and keep our hair and skin healthy.
"Healthy" is the Most Important Beauty Trend:
We all know that neglecting to take care of our skin can lead to irreversible damage such as premature aging, dull looking skin, and scarring from breakouts. There are even short-term complications like dry skin and acne. Because fall and winter often bring dry, moisture-less air, hydration is the key to keeping your hair and skin healthy.
Dermatologist-Approved Tips for Healthy Skin:
Skin care is not only important in the colder months- it should be taken seriously year round. It's never too early to start a daily skin care regimen, and if you don't have one, today's the day for you to begin. Here are five important skin habits for you to incorporate into your daily routine:
1. Wear sunscreen every day: It's a common myth that you can only get skin cancer during the summer or when the sun is out. You're constantly exposed to the sun's rays- even when it's cloudy outside. A dermatologist, Dr. Jeanine Downie, says that: "You should be wearing an SPF 30 every day, not only to protect against skin cancer but to prevent fine lines, wrinkles, large pores, and uneven skin tone." Don't forget that applying sunscreen once a day is not enough- you should reapply every couple of hours!
2. Exfoliate regularly: According to Dr. Fusco: "A good exfoliating agent will slough off the dull top layers, minimizing wrinkles, acne, and dry spots to reveal new, healthy, glowing skin." You don't have to exfoliate everyday- perhaps only 2-4 times a week.
3. What you eat and drink influences the condition of your skin: It's a well-known fact that staying hydrated by drinking water can only do good things for your skin. What you may not know is that adding antioxidants to your skin care and diet will "will help to combat free radical damage, reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and inflammation," says Dr. Jessica Wu. Eat brightly colored fruits, vegetables, and olive oil and use topical products that contain vitamin A (retinol), vitamin E, vitamin C, and coffeeberry on your skin.
Stay true to your skin care regimen. Find an exfoliator that is right for your skin type, a moisturizer that keeps your skin hydrated, and keep sunscreen with you at all times so you don't forget to apply and reapply it. Drink plenty of water and antioxidant-rich foods and you're sure to make it through the colder months with healthy, damage-free skin.

Success Story: Not Able To Lose Weight? It Could Be Food Allergies
Here's a case study about patient that couldn't see the benefits of getting rid of foods he had allergies to until after we saw them for a follow up.
A 60 year old man who came to Caring Medical because of migraines and some other issues presumably related to hormones. After seeing the doctor, he was told to have Hauser Diet Typing and food allergy panel testing done along with his other labs. He typed out to be a Monkey, which is a diet higher in carbohydrates, but lower in fat and protein. Along with concern for the headaches, he was also interested in losing about 15 pounds. We discussed his diet and off he went, confident that this was something he could fit into his lifestyle.
He received his food allergy test results a few weeks later and then a few weeks after that, we met for a follow-up appointment. He said he had been following the diet almost perfectly since day one. He said he felt great and had a lot of energy and he had lost weight, but it took him a few weeks to start seeing the weight loss. K. also stated that he didn't really notice any difference after eliminating the foods he was allergic to. We asked him when he got the food allergy results and when he started getting rid of those foods. His response was a few weeks into the diet. We sat there and smiled at him, waiting for him to make the connection. It was definitely one of those, oh moments. You know, the ones where something clicks and you get it? We pointed out that this is why many people don't realize they have food allergies. Sometimes the "symptoms" aren't those that some would associate with having food allergies. Weight loss or gain is just one of the many things we see that are linked to food allergies.
He now sees the value in eliminating those foods from his diets. His migraines are being addressed with the doctor using other techniques. The Diet Typing showed him how to eat so that his body can function most optimally. The food allergy testing definitely uncovered the reason for K.'s inability to lose weight! Just by having one simple test, he now feels better and isn't fighting a losing battle with weight loss, plus he's feeding his body foods that are good for HIM! If you think food allergies may be affecting you or you are interested in Diet Typing, give us a call, it's easy to find out!

Former Senator John Ensign (R-NV) who recently resigned on May 2, 2011 just hours before the United States Senate Select Committee on Ethics (SSCE) was to proceed with public hearings, today referred the case along with their findings to the Department of Justice (DoJ) and the Federal Elections Commission (FEC).
Both agencies had previously given Ensign a pass on his ethics problems, payoffs to Cindy and Doug Hampton, and Ensign's involvement in the breaking of Federal Lobby Laws.
Ensign in June 2009 had admitted (video on left) to having an affair with Cindy Hampton who worked for the Senator along with her husband Doug Hampton. John Ensign and Doug Hampton were best of friends for more than 20 years.
Or as Jon Ralston of the Las Vegas Sun likes to puts it, "he [Ensign] slept with his best friend's wife who was also his wife's best friend."
The former Senator had also admitted that his parents "gifted" $96,000 dollars to the Hampton's and said it was not hush money or a severance to keep them quiet, merely a "gift".
Ensign was also being investigated for helping Doug Hampton land a lobby job which requires a one year waiting period before former staff members can lobby. Doug Hampton ended up lobbying the Senator before the required waiting period and he has now been charged for breaking those lobby laws.
The SSCE report is 75 pages long, and it certainly shows cause for further investigations by the DoJ and the FEC. Here is a condensed summer of their findings, you can read the entire report by clicking on the above link.
Summary of Findings
"Based on the record in this matter, the Special Counsel respectfully submits that there is substantial credible evidence that provides substantial cause to conclude that Senator Ensign violated Senate Rules and federal civil and criminal laws, and engaged in improper conduct reflecting upon the Senate, thus betraying the public trust and bringing discredit to the Senate."
It first appeared that former Senator Ensign would get off free of any and all charges after he resigned, and that the public would never learn the truth, but with the release of the Ethics Committee report the public can read their findings. And if the DoJ and the FEC decide this time to act on the findings, the people may see justice.

Goal.com cartoonist Omar Momani gives us his unique take on the football news of the day...Emmanuel Adebayor went from hero to villain in the space of eight minutes on Saturday, with his sending-off in the north London derby kickstarting Arsenal's 5-2 comeback victory over Tottenham.
The Togo striker had handed Spurs the lead against his former side after 10 minutes, yet was quickly given his marching orders shortly afterwards following a reckless lunge on Santi Cazorla.
Down to 10 men, the floodgates opened as the Gunners romped to victory, leaving Adebayor to apologise to Tottenham fans for his moment of madness...

O'Neill welcomes Saha
by Stuart Vose
Boss delighted with addition.
Everyone has a point to prove. He wants to do well
- O'Neill on Saha
The 34-year-old striker inked a one-year deal yesterday having become a free agent at the end of last season.
Saha split time between Everton and Spurs last season and has bagged more than 150 senior goals.
He is available for tomorrow's trip to Arsenal and O'Neill is pleased to have the experienced frontman in the camp.
"Naturally I'm pleased [to have Louis Saha at the club]," he said.
"Last season Louis played a while for Everton, he played for Tottenham, and maybe thought with his family moving back to France he might have thought that was it. He maybe even thought of playing in the French league.
"I think, as I asked him the other day, everyone has a point to prove. He wants to do well.
"His appetite for the game is fine and in truth there's so many games that hopefully he would play in, but I'm not expecting him to play every single game. That would be an enormous ask for him. But in the course of time, I'm hoping he can help us.
"We have to improve our goal ratio, I think that's obvious to everyone. I'm not so sure in the course of time that you can have too many players who can score goals at a football club."

Five years after a triple murder and armed robbery, 24-year-old Michael Craig Walton was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison plus 15 years.
In September 2004, Walton shot three people following an argument over drugs. He was arrested by Phoenix Police a year after the incident when an unnamed witness fingered him as the gunman.
No plea deal or admission was made until earlier this year when Walton pled guilty to three counts of First Degree Murder and one count of armed robbery in July.
According to officials, under the terms of the plea, if Walton is ever paroled for the murders, he must still serve 15 more years in prison for the armed robbery.
�This case illustrates the tragic and sometimes deadly consequences of meth use,� County Attorney Andrew Thomas said in a press release. We express our condolences to the victims' families and hope that this sentence brings them some closure.�

John P. Johnson, Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation and Walden Media
Although Jay Moriarty, the inspiration for the movie "Chasing Mavericks," began surfing at age 9 and became a Santa Cruz, Calif., phenomenon, his desire to surf at Mavericks was an entirely different proposition.
Mavericks is a surfing spot about two miles from shore outside Pillar Point Harbor, north of Half Moon Bay, Calif. After powerful winter storms, the waves break sharply and crest between 25 and 80 feet. The force, pummeling and chaos of the waves is ferocious and can shatter not only surfboards but human bodies.
Two world-class surfers have died at Mavericks. In 1994, Mark Foo, a well-known Hawaiian big-wave surfer made the pilgrimage. He had a late takeoff into an 18-foot wave and, when he caught an edge, was catapulted forward into a wipeout at the base of the wave. His body was missing for several hours until it washed close to shore with a part of his surfboard still leashed to his leg.
Sion Milosky, another big name and big wave rider from Hawaii, drowned in 2011 after his body was held under water for nearly 20 minutes, finally surfacing at the mouth of Pillar Point Harbor.
Obviously surfing Mavericks is not for the faint of heart and when 16-year-old Moriarty approached Mavericks surfer Frosty Hesson and asked for training, Hesson was leery. He finally agreed if Moriarty agreed to a rigorous training regimen. In the film, the demanding and arduous schedule pushes Moriarty past the brink of his endurance. However, Hesson knows and wants Moriarty to understand that, if he is to survive Mavericks, he must recognize and be prepared for the enormous challenge. He gives Moriarty four pillars of preparation:
- Mental: Moriarty had to know what he was facing including conditions, surroundings and circumstances, and be able to make adjustments as different challenges presented themselves. That way, when all "Hades" broke loose, he would be mentally prepared.
- Emotional: Moriarty had to be in control of his emotions. He could not afford to under- or overestimate any situation. Because fear is paralyzing he needed to identify and suppress it, and then replace it with calmness and confidence as he assessed and met whatever might be thrown at him.
- Physical: Physical conditioning was essential. Moriarty had to become stronger so when confronted by the strength and power of a wave, it would not overcome him.
- Spiritual: Moriarty had to be connected to a power that made him stronger and greater than he was on his own. Making this connection required enormous effort but was essential to success.
As I watched the movie, I reminisced on my teenage years, which included many days spent on the beaches at Santa Cruz where I gained a healthy respect for the force of waves and the pull of tides. On a few occasions, I was pummeled and tested by that unforgiving force of nature, leading me to respect nature and take nothing for granted.
My mind was also drawn to a consideration of the forces that are arrayed against us in the world today. There is a God in heaven, Jesus Christ is his son, the Savior and Redeemer of the world, and Satan is real and powerful. Can Christians foolishly suppose they can blithely and casually go through life disregarding God's commandments, that it will not take rigorous obedience to God's laws and complete dependence on the Savior to achieve salvation? Do we imagine the enemy arrayed against us is not bent on our total destruction and will not do all in his power to destroy us?
Each individual must understand and rigorously prepare for the powerful, pummeling, monstrous and rampaging enemy before us. As it says in 2 Nephi, we cannot be "pacif(ied), and lull(ed) away into carnal security, that (we) will say: All is well in Zion; yea, Zion prospereth, all is well—and thus the devil cheateth (our) souls, and leadeth (us) away carefully down to hell."

Word to the wise… NAB = Wear comfortable shoes! If you have been to LDI at the Las Vegas Convention Center, you know what I am talking about. Only times that by four! LDI typically only takes up the central hall of the LVCC, NAB, the ENTIRE complex and more. Not only does NAB take up lower, upper south hall, but all of central and north hall. In fact, that still is not enough room. Exhibits spill out in to the outdoor section between central and south hall where dead case storage typically is. To sum it up… NAB is MASSIVE.
The first day of the show is spent walking, talking and more walking. Getting a gist of the layout, finding the areas of the halls that you want to visit and then being drawn in by the toys, gadgets and flashing lights. It is a lot to take in. There is a reason the exhibit portion of NAB is 4 days long and 9 hour days. There is just that much to take in.
After getting lost in all the new techno gadgets and tools, you already realize it is 2pm and you've haven't had lunch yet. The other 80,000 attendees are thinking the same thing, time to gets some "lovely" convention center food. 30 minutes in line, 10 minutes of shoveling food down and an afternoon of regents on food choices, it's back to the floor.
Only 4 hours to go and your feet already hurt and you still haven't gotten out of central hall. Yeah, it is a LONG day with three more to go. That was my day and I loved every minute of it… though, my feet say otherwise.
NAB is a great show and offers products and services for almost every single aspect to television and film product. If you are a tech geek like myself, NAB is mecca. If you haven't noticed, I have dabbled in "film" product with PLSN.tv. Dabbling is an over statement… I am still pretty green behind the ears compare to others. But there were a host of "quick" sessions and tutorials happening all over the show floor in exhibitors booths. I was drawn into a tutorial about mic placement. Who knew I was doing it wrong all this time. Give me a break, I light people up, not mic them up! After 10 minutes, I can better mic a person, thanks NAB!
Today was a race around to see everyone I knew and catch up since the last time. Then it was on to new products and exploring everything NAB has to offer. I just scratched the surface today. Maybe tomorrow I can break some skin! ;)

Santa Maria della Scala
To impress God and each other, the local wealthy families of the 15th century gave generously to the hospital, including commissioning important artists to decorate the building. The external frescoes are now all lost but interior works remain, including a series of frescoes telling the story of the hospital located in the Pilgrim's Hall on the fourth floor.
Nearby is the original church that the hospital grew around, Church of Santissima Annunziata. On the third floor is the original of Jacopo della Quercia's Fonte Gaia, the fountain of joy – a copy is in the Piazza del Campo.
Santa Maria della Scala is now a large museum complex housing archeological artifacts and other exhibitions, including the Children's Art Museum, the Birganti Book and Photo Library and the Contemporary Art Center.

A Shetland pony rescued from terrible neglect will be keeping the pounds off by leading a sponsored walk to raise money for the charity that saved him.Haggis the miniature Shetland was rescued in July 2010 by World Horse Welfare (WHW) after he was found hugely overweight, lame and with terribly overgrown feet on 60 acres in Aberdeenshire.Following his rehabilitation Haggis, now seven, was rehomed with Chloe McCutcheon, who organised the Scottish walk and hopes it will highlight the importance of weight management, especially in ponies like Haggis who are at higher risk of developing laminitis.She says: "Unfortunately, like all Shetland ponies, Haggis does like his food and for that reason he has to 'move more' especially as Shetlands are a high risk category for laminitis. So I decided we are going to 'move more' to raise funds for World Horse Welfare and hopefully encourage other ponies to join us and burn some calories."The walk is taking place from 12noon on Saturday, August 4, and will see ponies led in hand to Shooting Green, near Finzean, Banchory, with a stop for a picnic lunch half-way round.Chloe says: "The walk will be hard work as it's uphill some of the way, but it will all be worth it as we will be able to see the picturesque River Dee and the forest pines. I think Haggis will be very excited about the change of scenery."When Haggis was rescued and brought to WHW's Belwade Farm, in Aboyne, his feet were so overgrown they were shaped like rockers, preventing him from standing still, and staff described them as some of the worst they'd ever seen. Last month the pony's owner was banned for life from keeping horses.Since his rescue and rehoming with Chloe, Haggis has lost a lot of weight and hasn't had another attack of laminitis since.To sponsor Haggis, or even join him for the walk, contact Chloe by emailing email@example.com or calling 07798 898400.

Kyle Richards is back for a fifth season of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." However, the fifth season looks a bit different than the fourth.
In addition to two new wives, reportedly Lisa Rinna and Eileen Davidson (who have both been seen filming), the show lost two wives, Joyce Giraud and Carlton Gebbia. In a new interview, Richards explains why she decided to come back to the Bravo series, and why she misses her friend, Giraud.
"I think people thought, 'oh she had so much conflict,' and maybe I wouldn't want to come back, but it wasn't a hard decision this season," Richards revealed in the interview, via a Sept. 4 report by Reality Tea. "Other seasons have been a lot harder. We have a lot of conflict and issues, but ultimately I do care about these women and we do have a lot of fun together as well, so I was like, 'ok, let's do this.'"
Richards, along with Lisa Vanderpump and Kim Richards, has been with "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" since the show started in 2010. During season five, they will be joined by returning wives, Yolanda Foster and Brandi Glanville, as well as Rinna and Davidson.
Although Richards won't be missing Gebbia, whom she feuded with throughout season four, she is going to be missing Giraud.
"I got along very well with Joyce, so I was sad. I don't like change and I really liked her," Richards explained.
Giraud and Carlton were reportedly fired in May of this year. They had each been with the show for just one season.
"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" season five premieres this fall on Bravo.

The substitution is not directly valid because:
is not an absolute equality. It is a constrained equality by the constraint x --> infinity, so you can't just use it without that constraint.
You can see an example if you use this specific case: f1(x) = (1+1/x) and f2(x)=x
Hope this helps.

PROVO, Utah - In a close meet that came down to the last race, the 24th-ranked Arizona State women's swimming team defeated BYU 122-117, while the men's swimming and diving team fell just short, dropping the meet 111-132 to the Cougars.
Sophomore Tristin Baxter took the first victory for the Sun Devils, swimming to a first-place finish in the 1000 free with a time of 10:09.17. With a mere one event's rest, Baxter turned around to win the women's 200 free. The sophomore touched in with a time of 1:52.26.

In the women's 100 free, junior Shannon Landgrebe touched in with a time of 52.20 to earn the fifth victory on the day for the Sun Devil women. Junior Cassie Morrice, who set the new ASU record in the 1000 free earlier in the season, continued her success in the distance free events with her first-place finish in the 500 free. Morrice swam the event in a time of 4:56.88, over seven seconds faster than the next closest competitor.
Senior Rebecca Ejdervik and junior Jordyn Green finished one and two in the 200 breast, with Ejdervik narrowly out-touching Green with a time of 2:20.00. Green swam the event in a time of 2:20.53.

Sophomores Hayden Thomas, Behm, and Adalsteinsson continued the victories for the Sun Devils. Thomas finished first in the 1000 free with a time of 9:43.11, while Behm notched a victory in the 50 free with a time of 20.91. Adalsteinsson won the 200 back with a time of 1:52.32.

This tiny precious soul, born prematurely, needs financial assistance so his mom can stay with him. A GoFundMe webpage has been set up in his behalf.
Bradley is the son of Leslie Beinz of Chicago. That Bradley is even alive in the first place is nothing short of a miracle. Leslie overcame a misdiagnosis of multiple sclerosis, as well as a near death experience. She wasn't sure she could even bear children.
Bradley was born when his mom was only 29 weeks pregnant, due to Leslie being diagnosed with HELLP syndrome. This is is a life-threatening liver disorder thought to be a type of severe preeclampsia. It is characterized by destruction of red blood cells, elevated liver enzymes (which indicate liver damage), and a low platelet count.
Little Bradley reached 2 pounds only a week ago, with Leslie by his side. Right now he's facing open heart surgery once he becomes strong enough, as he was born with a congenital heart defect.
The doctor's are taking excellent care of baby Bradley, and while there are programs out there to help newborns with expensive medical care, there's nothing to help with the expense of keeping his mom by his side.
Leslie needs to be able to remain by her baby boy, and the GoFundMe account was set up by her friend Michele Diane Ussery on March 10 to help with that. Please consider a small donation to make this happen.
Your donation will go to help a little life and his family. You can even keep track of Baby Bradley and his progress through updates, a service offered when a family uses GoFundMe.
Please keep Bradley in your thoughts and prayers. He has a long way to go, but he's a determined little guy. A miracle baby who wants to survive, and having his mom by his side goes on long way on his road to a normal life.

Paddington Station
A major London underground and National Rail station in Paddington area.
Location of Paddington Station
Paddington station or London Paddington is the name of a major railway station in the Paddington area of London, which is the London terminus for long distance trains to the West of England and South Wales and some West London commuter services. Stops on several lines of the London Underground are also part of the station complex: the Hammersmith & City Line at a surface station on the north side of the station and parallel with it; the District Line and Circle Line in a cutting in front of the station and perpendicular to it, and the Bakerloo Line in deep-level tubes below the station.
The History of Paddington Station
The first station to open in the Paddington area was a temporary terminus for the Great Western Railway on the west side of Bishop's Bridge Road. The first GWR services from London to Taplow, near Maidenhead, ran from here in 1838. After the opening of the main station in 1854, this became the site of the goods yard. After years of dereliction, it is now being redeveloped as a mixed residential and business area called "Paddington Central".
The main Paddington station between Bishops Bridge Road and Praed Street was opened in 1854. It was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, though much of the architectural detailing was by his associate Matthew Digby Wyatt. P. C. Hardwick built the Great Western Hotel in front of it in 1868-74.
The station was substantially enlarged in 1906-15. In 1863 the Metropolitan Railway opened the first underground railway, running from Paddington to Farringdon. Its line emerged from the tunnels at a station (known for many years as Bishop's Road) on the north side of the mainline station, with a connection to the GWR mainline which allowed it to run regular services onto the GWR's Hammersmith branch. From the 1930s until the late 1960s the Metropolitan Line and GWR suburban services shared a group of four platforms, but the Underground is now entirely separate and forms Paddington station on the Hammersmith & City Line.
In 1868 the Metropolitan Railway opened a new branch to Kensington, with a station called Praed Street in a cutting across that street from the mainline station. This station is now Paddington station on the Circle and District Lines. It is linked to the mainline station and the Bakerloo line by a footway that passes underneath Praed Street and the Great Western Hotel. The deep-level Baker Street and Waterloo Railway - now the Bakerloo Line - arrived in 1913, with platforms underneath the mainline station.

These reflections are taken from the book "Pro-Life Reflections for Every Day" by Fr. Frank Pavone which is available for purchase at: ProLifeReflectionsForEveryDay.org
"The only honest stance…is that of radical solidarity with the woman" (John Paul II, Crossing the Threshold of Hope, p.206-207)
Reflection: The difference between the pro-life and pro-abortion movements is not that we love the baby and they love the mother. The real difference is that they think you can separate the two and we say you can't. You cannot kill a baby without hurting the mother, and you cannot protect the baby without loving the mother.
Prayer: Lord, you have intertwined the destiny of mother and child, and have called us to a love that recognizes this intimate union. May every mother and child flourish together in love and protection. Amen.

A revolver is a repeating firearm that has a cylinder containing multiple chambers and at least one barrel for firing, with the modern revolver being invented by Samuel Colt. As the user cocks the hammer, the cylinder revolves to align the next chamber and round with the hammer and barrel, which gives this type of firearm its name. The hammer-cocking happens either directly (via the shooter pulling it back) or indirectly (via the first portion of the trigger pull in double-action revolvers.) In modern revolvers, the revolving cylinder typically chambers five or six rounds, but some models hold 10 rounds or more. Revolvers are most often handguns, but other weapons may also have the design of a revolver. These include some models of grenade launchers, shotguns, and some rifles.
In double-action (DA), the stroke of the trigger pull generates two actions: (1) the hammer is pulled back to the cocked position while the cylinder is being indexed to the next round, and then (2) the hammer is released to strike the firing pin. Thus DA means that a cocking action separate from the trigger pull is unnecessary; and every trigger pull will result in a complete cycle. This allows uncocked carry while also allowing draw-and-fire using only the trigger. A longer and harder trigger stroke is the trade-off, but this drawback can also be viewed as a safety feature, as the gun is safer against accidental discharges from being dropped.
Most double-action revolvers may be fired in two ways.
The first way is single-action, that is, exactly the same as a single-action revolver; the hammer is cocked with the thumb, which indexes the cylinder, and when the trigger is pulled, the hammer is tripped.
The second way is double action, that is, from a hammer-down position. In this case, the trigger first cocks the hammer and revolves the cylinder, and then trips the hammer at the rear of the trigger stroke, firing the round in the chamber.
Certain revolvers, called double action only (DAO) or, more correctly but less commonly self cocking, lack the latch that enables the hammer to be locked to the rear, and thus can only be fired in the double action mode. With no way to lock the hammer back, DAO designs tend to have bobbed or spurless hammers, and may even have the hammer completely covered by the revolver's frame (i.e., shrouded or hooded). These are generally intended for concealed carrying, where a hammer spur could snag when the revolver is drawn. The potential reduction in accuracy in aimed fire is offset by the increased capability for concealment.
DA and DAO revolvers were the standard-issue sidearm of countless police departments for many decades. Only in the 1990s did the semiautomatic pistol begin to make serious inroads, after the advent of safe actions such as Glock's. The reasons for these choices are the modes of carry and use. Double action is good for high-stress situations because it allows a mode of carry in which "draw and pull the trigger" is the only requirement—no safety catch release or separate cocking stroke required. Although those seem simple to a person in calm circumstances, it is considered that less can go wrong with a simpler action when the user is highly stressed. This is a school of thought, not an immutable rule; some users would not make the same choice (preferring, e.g., cocked-and-locked carry), although they understand the logic.

LONDON, UK – 13 February 2013: Trustonic, the leading provider of Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) for smart connected devices, is partnering with Nok Nok Labs, an innovator in modern authentication and founding member of the FIDO Alliance, to make stronger, simpler on-device authentication ubiquitous across the mobile ecosystem.
Trustonic TEE technology is already integrated in over 250 million smart devices and builds trust directly into the heart of a device to protect high value services such as financial apps, premium movies and enterprise data. Trustonic enables service providers to make use of on-chip security features in these devices.
Nok Nok Labs' S3 Authentication Suite leverages the existing security capabilities on a user's device such as a built-in fingerprint sensor, camera or Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to provide user-friendly, strong authentication to any application. As a founding member of the FIDO Alliance, Nok Nok Labs is providing the first FIDO Ready TM client to integrate with the Trustonic TEE.
Under the collaboration, Nok Nok Labs will work with Trustonic to integrate its NNL™ Multifactor Authentication Client (MFAC) with the Trustonic ‹t™-base Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), making it possible for developers enrolled in the Trustonic ‹t-dev developer program to build simple, strong authentication quickly into trusted apps.
Trustonic will also work with Nok Nok Labs to allow NNL authentication apps to run in the ‹t-base environment on smart connected devices such as smartphones. This will provide hardware isolation for cryptography, a trusted user interface for protection of PINs, secure display of transaction data and a fast processing environment to perform fingerprint recognition when using low cost sensors.
Ben Cade, CEO, Trustonic commented: "Our partnership with Nok Nok Labs addresses the common goal of improving the quality and user experience of on-device authentication. By combining Nok Nok Labs' expertise in authentication with our TEE, our combined partner ecosystems will have access to simple yet powerful "out the box" authentication with protected input via keypad or fingerprint on a broad range of smart connected devices."
"We're delighted to partner with Trustonic in order to provide TEE support for authentication on smart connected devices." said Phillip Dunkelberger, President & CEO, Nok Nok Labs. "Our customers will be able to leverage hardware-based security in a range of different authentication scenarios. This increased level of security meets the business and risk requirements of online banking and payments amongst others."
Nok Nok Labs and Trustonic will work to simplify the app development process by integrating a standard API within the ‹t-base TEE using Nok Nok Labs' Multifactor Authentication Client. The TEE will provide secure storage and processing of keys, PINs and biometric data using on ‹t-base enabled devices, independent and irrespective of operating system integrity.

I'm looking for a way to acomplish several things that have been bothering me. I access the Internet through many insecure (and often poorly maintained) networks, many of which active block anything except HTTP/HTTPs traffic.
- Keep my browsing traffic private (as far as the "open" network I'm on is concerned)
- I run a SVN server on port 8443, which is activly blocked at many locations, I'd like a way to tunnel through 443 to my home computer and then back to my SVN server on 8443.
- Setup other programs to use whatever "tunnel" I create for the above two
I'm thinking that something like SSH would be a good option, but I've never set it up and I'm not sure I can even route all my traffic through it.

The defense attorney of a Yacolt man accused of poisoning his girlfriend and then shooting her this month requested a mental evaluation to determine whether he's competent to proceed.
Michael T. Boswell, 29, will be evaluated by Western State Hospital psychologists to determine whether he understands the allegations against him and can assist in his own defense.
His case will be reviewed Dec. 21. He is charged with first-degree attempted murder.
Boswell was arrested Nov. 14 after he allegedly shot his live-in girlfriend, Jessica Fix, at the house they share with Fix's parents at 17605 N.E. Lucia Falls Road. Fix, 25, was shot in the head but managed to drive herself to the Battle Ground Fred Meyer, where friends took her to the hospital.
Her condition Tuesday wasn't immediately available, but detectives have said her injuries don't appear to be life-threatening.
Sheriff's detectives investigating the case reportedly found evidence that Boswell may have laced Fix's peppermint tea with high levels of acetaminophen; her liver was found to be failing.
Fix said Boswell was upset because she had met someone new at the Portland strip club where she dances and had said she wanted to end their relationship, according to court documents.
The day of the shooting, Fix said, she drank the tea and fell asleep, then woke to a sharp pain in her head. Boswell was lying next to her, holding a .22-caliber revolver, according to court documents. He told her he had tried to shoot himself and accidentally shot her.
At Boswell's scheduled arraignment Tuesday morning, he received a new lawyer, Suzan Clark, in substitution of Todd Pascoe. Clark requested a 14-day evaluation of Boswell to be conducted either in the Clark County Jail or at Western State Hospital near Tacoma.
The evaluation puts the arraignment and other proceedings on hold until Boswell's next hearing in December.

Nokia X7 pre-orders start in the UK, shipping before the end of June
The Nokia X7 is, as of now, one of the just two upcoming smartphones that will ship with Symbian Anna on board (the other one being the E6). While we can endlessly debate whether Symbian has died already or is going to die slowly from now on, Nokia has a number of devices planned for launch and those launches are happening. And, to be honest, it's about time. There haven't been many Symbian handsets released in recent months.
The X7 is now on pre-order at Nokia's own online shop in the UK, with shipping promised before the end of June (yes, that is exactly as vague as Nokia's shipping deadlines usually are). This being Nokia, please assume that means June 30. Even so, if you pre-order now you're less than a month away from the magical moment when you'll be one of the first people in the UK (and the world!) to hold a smartphone running Symbian Anna. That's got to be worth something.
Whether or not it's worth £399 is your choice of course. That's how much Nokia is asking to give you the X7 SIM-free. You can also get it on Pay as you go for £369, or on a variety of operator contracts that start at £25 per month. In that case, the phone will be free.
To see all the options and pre-order your Nokia X7 now, just go to Nokia UK.

Daily Journal Corinth Bureau
BOONEVILLE – The summer-long project to upgrade every aspect of computer systems for the Prentiss County School District is nearing completion, and 40 new computers will be installed throughout the district to give students improved access to the new network.
New Internet connections for district administration and at each campus website will be supported by a fiberoptic network that takes the district "from a two-lane road to an eight-lane highway," said Luke Ledbetter, the district's technology coordinator.
"We have seven sites that have been built from the ground up," Ledbetter told the school board during its regular meeting Monday.
The board also recognized testing coordinator Brenda Bolen with a certificate of appreciation for her work over the summer securing a $20,736 grant to purchase 40 new computers.
The Appalachian Regional Commission grant, with a $5,184 match from the district, for the district's technology improvement project will allow 10 computers to be installed in each of four programs: health sciences, business fundamentals and marketing, auto services technology and teacher academy.
One final campus site awaits fiberoptic installation before the new websites go live at www.prentisscountyschools.com, Ledbetter said. Completion is expected in the next few weeks.
The main administrative website will include links for parents to look at student attendance and grades on Active Parent, read news from the district, see calendars and more.
Each school website links to the main district website and also contains school news; a school calendar; capacity for each teacher to have a webpage for homework and other information; and capacity for clubs, organizations and sports teams to have a webpage.
The school board on Monday also approved a Twitter and Facebook presence for the district website only, where one-way outgoing communications would be posted, but which would not accept posts.
Ledbetter thanked the webmasters for each site who have helped develop the project and who will maintain the sites: Danielle King, Marietta; Lori Taylor, Hills Chapel; Chris Butler, New Site; Amy Moore, Jumpertown; Deanna Arnold, Wheeler; Michael Johnson, Thrasher; and Bill Glover, Vo-Tech.

Can we disallow UNC paths for the entire Terminal Server session?
The intention is to allow the application to only write to certain directories (as mapped in the Terminal Server session). The aim is to prevent the output of files to directories that the users have access to, but are not mapped in the Terminal Server session.

They all faced a gut-check moment. From Chris Capuano to Edward Mujica, all four relievers the Red Sox summoned from their bullpen in Sunday night's rousing 6-5 walkoff victory over the Orioles were called upon to deliver in high-leverage situations.
They did not disappoint, as they combined for 3⅓ scoreless innings to piece together a victory that went to Mujica and got Jake Peavy off the hook after the Sox righthanded starter gave up five runs on 10 hits and four walks (one intentional).
"From Capuano all the way through to Mujica, big pitches in key spots with men on,'' said manager John Farrell, whose bullpen held the Orioles to two hits. "They were swinging the bats very well across the way and we made a number of big pitches here tonight.''
Boston's bullpen has allowed just four earned runs in 29 innings over the team's last 10 games (1.24 ERA). Overall this season Sox relievers have combined for a 2.30 ERA (15 earned runs over 58⅔ innings).
"It's always feels good as a bullpen when everyone kind of does their job,'' said Capuano, who worked 1⅔ innings and is unscored upon in eight outings (10⅔ innings). "You know, it's satisfying to be able to make those pitches. You have to put that one behind you and you come back and try to execute every day.''
Capuano was called on in the sixth to relieve Peavy and face Orioles catcher Matt Wieters, a dangerous .321 hitter, with two outs and two men aboard. Wieters had produced an RBI single in the first.
Capuano worked quickly and got ahead in the count, needing all of four pitches to induce Wieters to hit a soft fly to right field on a 77-mile-per-hour changeup.
"I made a good pitch to Wieters, down and away, and I thought it was a sure hit to right field,'' Capuano said. "But [Daniel] Nava did a great job of coming in and staying with it and making a good catch, so that was a real big play.''
After he allowed No. 9 hitter Ryan Flaherty to reach on a leadoff single to left in the eighth, Capuano bore down and made a tough 3-and-2 pitch to strike out Nick Markakis. Junichi Tazawa entered in relief of Capuano and got a huge first-pitch popup against Nelson Cruz, who had hit a first-pitch solo homer off Peavy in the first inning.
Andrew Miller then relieved Tazawa and worked quickly to Chris Davis, striking him out on an 86-mile-per-hour slider.
"That was a great inning of execution from everybody there,'' Capuano said.
After Adam Jones laced a leadoff double to left leading off the ninth, Miller retired the next two batters on ground outs, Wieters to second (which advanced Jones to third) and Steve Lombardozzi to the mound.
With the Orioles looking like they were going to have righthanded batter Delmon Young hit for the lefthanded-hitting David Lough, Farrell admittedly jumped the gun and summoned Mujica, a righty, from the pen.
"I was probably a little bit premature in the move, but as it turns out, we keep a .135 hitter in the game versus a guy in Young who is somewhere in the .350 range,'' Farrell said. "And Eddie makes a couple of big pitches with his split-finger and he gets a key strikeout.''
Mujica needed just four pitches to fan Lough and get the Sox into the bottom of the ninth. It resulted in a stirring win that punctuated an emotional pregame ceremony recognizing the one-year anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings.
"We've had a lot of these emotional days and it's always nice when you give your fans something to cheer about,'' Miller said. "If we can do anything on the baseball field to make people . . . forget?
"No, because a lot of people were so dramatically affected by this. Anything we can do for this city in general, to lift people up and let people cheer, I think it's pretty awesome. Exciting wins like this, they don't get any better than that for the fans.''

|Vandals at home for Dads' Weekend
Idaho dropped to 1-7 after losing last weekend at Ole Miss, while Texas State is 5-3 and coming off of a 33-31 home victory over South Alabama.
PAUL PETRINO is in his first season at Idaho and his first as a head coach. While it is his first head coaching job, it is not Petrino's first stint at Idaho. His coaching career began at Carroll College (his alma mater, 1989). From Carroll, he went to Idaho where he coached running back, receivers and special teams from 1992-94. From Idaho it was on to Utah State (1995-97), Louisville (1998-99), Southern Mississippi (2000-02), Louisville (2003-06), Atlanta Falcons (2007), Arkansas (2008-09), Illinois (2010-11) and Arkansas (2012).
DENNIS FRANCHIONE is in his third season as head coach at Texas State after a three-year hiatus from coaching. A graduate of Pittsburg (Kan.) State University, his coaching career began with four seasons in the high school ranks before his first collegiate job at Kansas State (1978-80). He went on to serve assistantships at Southern (1981-82) and Tennessee Tech (1983-84) before head coaching jobs at Pittsburg State (1985-89), Southwest Texas State (1990-1991), New Mexico (1992-1997), TCU (1998-2000), Alabama (2001-02) and Texas A&M (2003-07).
Idaho is playing the 2013 season as an FBS independent before rejoining the Sun Belt Conference in 2014. The Vandals have been independent previously – 1893-1907 and 1959-62. There are six other independent FBS programs – Army, BYU, Navy, New Mexico State, Notre Dame and Old Dominion.
The series first was played when Texas State was known as Southwest Texas. Idaho leads the series,which first was played in 1996, 3-2. Texas State won (38-7) last year at San Marcos.
There is being broadcast regionally on SWX, Spokane as well as KTVB/KTVT in the Treasure and Magic valley regions of Idaho, and on Altitude Sports.
