Water-Skiing Elephant Dies
Queenie, an Asian elephant who spent her entire life in captivity, has died at Georgia's Wild Adventures Water and Theme Park at age 59. Queenie was only 6 months old when her owner began training her to water ski—yes, water ski—at a Florida theme park. For 15 years in the '50s and '60s, Queenie performed three or four times a day, accompanied by blasting music. She was then sold to a traveling elephant act and then sold and resold over and over again before ending her sad days at Wild Adventures.
|From her mother's warm comfort to the cold shock of this.
While water-skiing elephants may be a thing of the past, elephants in circuses today lead lives equally as bereft as Queenie's. Baby elephants used by Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus are torn away from their frantic mothers to be broken and trained for a life of servitude. They spend decades in chains, trying to avoid being hit with bullhooks.
Don't let a circus come to your town unchallenged. Plan a protest (we can help!), contact the sponsors, and write a letter to the editor. Your actions make a difference!

What a sad and lonely life Queenie had and as a human being able to see this I am ashamed of the people of the world for what they do to animals especially such magnificant elephants who are gentle giants. I hope with enough pressure to bear on the people who are still doing this to elephants namely Ringlings that we can put an end to this psychological and physical abuse.
That poor elephant. I hope she is now resting in peace.
I watched in great sadness at this clip, for 59 long years Queenie never knew family lived in solitude, forced to perform for public gratification over and over. RIP you beautiful girl…I am so sorry for the life you were forced to lead…..
No elephant should be forced to perfom like a slave for cruel humans. What a life to subject such a beautiful and dignified animal to. Boycott any circus with animals. Let the humans perform their own tricks.
I just reread Jennifer O'Connor' comments and now I am REALLY P*#$&@!!! Jennifer – you do not have cl;ue one as to what you are ranting about. Yes, we got Queenie when she was six months old. She was raised by my family – as a member of our family. You state "Queenie was only 6 months old when her owner began training her to water ski—yes, water ski—at a Florida theme park. For 15 years in the '50s and '60s, Queenie performed three or four times a day, accompanied by blasting music." How pray tell, did you come up with that? Were you there – did you ever see her water ski – did you hear blasting music? NO, of course you weren't. But I was. Queenie was not taught to water-ski until she was much older. And for your information – she LOVED to water-ski. She loved to dip her truck in the water and spray it all over. Do you honestly think for a minute that we would force her to do something that she did not want to do – or that was unsafe? We never forced her to do anything!!! And as far as the blaring music?? Pray tell, what tune did you hear playing?
RIP Queenie, you are finally at peace, my heart cries for them all.
More folks might listen to what you PETA people have to say if you got your stories straight before uttering them. First of all – Queenie's life was NOT hell. And she was NOT sold over and over again. We bought her in 1953 and she was treated as a much loved family member. We sold her in 1967 to a wonderful family that had other elephants where she remained until 1981. That family then sold Queenie and their other elephants (keeping Queenie's elephant "family" intact) to a circus in California. She remained there until 2001 when she "retired" and relocated at Wild Adventures in Valdosta, GA. I visited her often there. She was very much loved and received exceptional, tender loving care. And yes, there are some unscrupulous circus animal keepers but your broad brush comments are totally unfounded. Your efforts would be better spent going after the thousands of people that abuse their household pets.
No one can hurt you now. RIP Queenie!!
Why do we use animals for entertainment?
noooo more circus ever not in my town!!!
that's the sad thing, Aneliese. Lots of ignorant fools think this is cool.
poor baby :*( i hope you finally find some comfort in heaven !
R.I.P. Queenie! This is horrible that people make animals do this stuff. Elephants should be kept in the wild where they belong.
Queenie rip in elephant heaven xx
Ban circuses with any animals..it's cruel and unjust
Animals belong in there natural surroundings with their families
To tear them away from mothers so young for our entertainment is heartbreaking
THIS IS NOT ENTERTAINMENT, THIS IS A FREAK SHOW! NO LIVE ANIMALS IN ENTERTAINMENT! If people want to see these beautiful, majestic animals, they should go on Safari or watch National Geographic! Get em PETA!
awww rip queenie. if only you'd lived a life of freedom.
Anyone who can look at a water skiing elephant and think "Oh, cool!" is sick. RIP Queenie, I'm sorry your life was hell.
That is aweful. It sounds like her whole life was hell. I tell ya, if a circus even thinks about comming to my town, there will be big issues!

The practice of hot yoga will revitalize your skin, detoxify your body and leave you energized. Give it a try. Read more about hot yoga below.
Why Hot Yoga?
The practice of doing yoga in a hot room is a detoxifying way to improve your health and vitality. It helps you stretch more safely and deeper thus leads to improved flexibility in the muscles and ligaments. You will experience a raised heart rate which will aid in burning calories and improve metabolism which may lead to weight loss. The breathing that is used during class is a deep breath, it helps to rid the body of toxins and bring a better awareness to the mind body connection, this adds an element of concentration as well. Thus, bringing deeper relaxation and awareness of your body and mind.
Additional detoxification occurs from the elimination of toxins through sweat. In turn, you will see clear beautiful skin. Your skin is the largest organ in the body. As the body is cleansed of toxins the mind becomes clearer as well, by increasing the blood flow throughout the body you increase focus and concentration of the brain.
The most significant benefits of hot yoga are a release of stress, improved energy levels, more relaxed sleep and a sense of well being. Recently, doctors have been prescribing hot yoga to aid with seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Heating up the core body temperature is a form of cancer treatment in other countries. It helps fight disease. With regular practice you will add years to your life.

Today I feel like Stansfield
0 Comments | Posted by Enno Rey
… the corrupt DEA agent in Luc Besson's great movie "Léon (The Professional)". I'm sure quite some of you, dear readers, know the plot…
Just before the final shootout, when sending the first men of the NYPD ESU team into Léon's apartment, he tells them to "Be careful!". After learning those men got killed he just comments: "I told you".
[btw: before yelling to bring "EEEEEEEVERYONE!!!!", as those familiar with the piece will certainly remember ;-)].
I'm fully aware that I risk playing "the arrogant scumbag card" today and that it's generally not very nice to refer to one's own earlier statements with an "I told you" attitude (especially if harm was caused to some party), but this is exactly how I feel when reading these news. And – pls believe me – it's an expression of utmost despair.
How often do organizations have to be told that running Adobe Flash might not be the greatest idea in the world, security-wise? How many statistics like this one (see section "Vulnerabilities" in the bottom part of it) have to see the light of the world until people realize that (quoting from this blogpost) "running Flash on corporate desktops is simply asking for trouble. Asking for trouble loudly. Very loudly."?
When we wrote this document on configuring IE8 securely we pointed out that using Adobe Flash required a risk acceptance, from our perspective. Man, how I was attacked! for this very statement afterwards in the customer environment that document was initially developed for. I've since mentioned Flash in this blog here, here and here.
Furthermore we'll include a talk on Flash in next year's Troopers line-up, I promise. And be it only to avoid this post sounding like a crusade of a bitter old man… (yes, this was a wordplay referring to some character from the movie ;-).
yours sincerely
Appstore security: 5 lines of defence against malware
0 Comments | Posted by Enno Rey
A few days ago the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) published this quite interesting document with the exact title. Here's what it covers:
"The booming smartphone industry has a special way of delivering software to end-users: appstores. Popular appstores have hundreds of thousands of apps for anything from online banking to mosquito repellent, and the most popular stores (Apple Appstore, Google Android market) claim billions of app downloads. But appstores have not escaped the attention of cyber attackers. Over the course of 2011 numerous malicious apps were found, across a variety of smartphone models. Using malicious apps, attackers can easily tap into the vast amount of private data processed on smartphones such as confidential business emails, location data, phone calls, SMS messages and so on. Starting from a threat model for appstores, this paper identifies five lines of defence that must be in place to address malware in appstores: app review, reputation, kill-switches, device security and jails."
Just read through it and while I've never been a big fan of STRIDE (mainly due the application centric approach which simply is not my cup of tea) I have to say it's applied elegantly to the "app ecosystem" described in the paper.
The doc somewhat accompanies this one titled "Smartphones: Information security risks, opportunities and recommendations for users" (released by ENISA in late 2010), which is a valuable resource in itself.
Overall excellent work from those guys in Heraklion, providing good insight from and for practitioners in the field.
Have a great weekend everybody
tsakwaf 0.9.1 released
0 Comments | Posted by Frank Block
A few weeks ago, I released version 0.9 of a web application testing tool called tsakwaf (The Swiss Army Knife for Web Application Firewalls) together with an ERNW Newsletter about web application firewalls. tsakwaf is based on perl and supports fingerprinting of some supported WAFs and code generation methods to circumvent filter rules. Today, version 0.9.1 will be released, which adds SSL support for the WAF fingerprinting function (Big thanks to Simon Rich!) and a bug fix regarding the detection of WAF reactions which may lead to false positives. Additionally, I'm happy to announce that at least one talk at next year's Troopers will cover attacks against WAFs (like this one from the 2009 edition) . So mark your calendar – Troopers12 will happen on 21st and 22nd March 2012, with the usual workshops before the conference and the round table sessions the day after – and enjoy playing with tsakwaf!

Cocktails & Classics Gives Film Geeks a Cinematic Education – with a Twist

Movie geeks, get ready to camp out.
On Sunday, a new series on Logo called Cocktails & Classics brings together the people behind some of the most beloved – and, yes, often over-the-top – films of all time with the entertainment fixtures who have made a career out of obsessing over them.
An exclusive episode from Cocktails' premiere episode, which accompanies 1989's Steel Magnolias, reveals the insider-y, chatty flavor of the series, which host Michael Urie tells PEOPLE is all about digging into "finding out what it is about these films that made them classics."
Unlike many movie companion series, Cocktails & Classics is "not just trivia," says the Ugly Betty alum, who's also an executive producer. "We do a certain amount of re-creating scenes. We definitely incorporate the great zingers that people love and remember. It's something that people who don't know the movies will be delighted to learn from, and people who do know the movies will be delighted to share the things that they already feel and giggle about."

14-year-old Pakistani schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai became a worldwide cause célèbre for her activism on behalf of girls' education when in October 2012, she was shot in the head and neck in a Taliban assassination attempt. Malala survived the attack and has become an international symbol of freedom. Her case is only the tip of the iceberg, however, because in some parts of Pakistan getting an education is still an act of defiance. Director Hemal Trivedi will present her short documentary, Shabeena's Quest, and talk about Shabeena, a remarkable school principal, and her quest to bring education to the children, particularly the young girls, living in the shadow of the Taliban in the Islamabad region.

T-Shirts – FCUK's Slogan Kicks Off
When it comes to brands and their slogans, t-shirts speak volumes.
T-shirts can shout at you. Slogans on t-shirts can speak loudly about who you are, your status, your style and your attitude. And perhaps there's no other brand in fashion history that has been in our faces as much as FCUK. The FCUK t-shirts have left a trail of controversy, shock and debate in their wake.
T-shirts and Fashion Slogans
FCUK t-shirts have caused so much controversy because of their advertising campaigns. In 2005, a retired businessman complained that the slogan used on the the brand's watches and jewellery was offensive. The slogan has been used on its t-shirts for years. FCUK is an acronym for French Connection UK, but clearly a play on words some find offensive. The UK Trade Mark Registry ended up ruling in favour of the brand on this occasion. But the incident was symptomatic of the attention and debate the t-shirts can trigger.
Designer Clothing – All About Attitude
As well as t-shirts, French Connection use the slogan on watches, jewellery, jeans and other items of its designer clothing range. The complaint against the FCUK slogan was that it went beyond the 'accepted principles of morality'. Lawyers for the designer clothing brand insisted it was a harmless play on words. The FCUK slogan has been used on its t-shirts and apparel for over ten years now. The FCUK slogan on t-shirts may be an acronym for French Connection United Kingdom, but it is often used in a very knowing context such as 'FCUK Fashion' or 'FCUK Advertising'. Some instances of the slogan were censored by the Advertising Standards Agency but the slogan on men and women's t-shirts has been a historic success with profits initially soaring for the fashion house.
T-Shirts Trigger Arrest Threat
The huge controversy that the FCUK t-shirts and advertising campaigns generated has worked in their favour by causing endless publicity and column inches. At one point a shop owner was threatened with arrest by police after using FCUK t-shirts in his shop window. The shop in Hertfordshire featured a naked mannequin straddling a man beside the caption 'the joy of fcuk'. The offending t-shirt was removed after repeated customer complaints. But the owner caused more upset by replacing the t-shirts with more FCUK designs causing some to complain the display was 'disgraceful'. But the slogan on French Connection t-shirts has remained hugely successful, and it seems they illustrate the cliché: there's no such thing as bad publicity.

Butternut Squash Risotto
This risotto includes pureed butternut squash, which I was lucky enough to find at the supermarket. Butternut squash is an excellent addition to winter foods with it qualifying as one of the World's Healthiest Foods. Another winter squash such as pumpkin or zapallo loche could also be substituted.
Butternut Squash Risotto
1 1/2 cups of roasted butternut squash puree (or other winter squash)
2 tablespoon of butter, divided
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups of Arborio rice
3/4 cup of dry white wine
3 cups of vegetable broth, kept hot
3/4 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Salt to taste
Pinch of nutmeg
- Heat the 1 tablespoon of butter and olive oil in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Add onion and sauté for 4 minutes or until tender. Add garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Add rice while stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, cook for 2 more minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring often, until the wine nearly evaporates, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup of the hot broth and cook, stirring frequently, until the rice absorbs the liquid. Continue adding the broth in 3/4 cup increments and stirring often until the rice is creamy (not soupy) and soft but still al dente, about 25 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add the roasted squash, cheese, and remaining 1 tablespoon of butter; stirring vigorously until butter melts. Adjust the seasonings, adding salt and nutmeg to taste. Serve immediately.
Yield: Serves 4

UPDATED 12:13 PM CDT Sep 12, 2013
Authorities say an excavator operator was injured when his machine fell through the floor of the old Spirit Lake City Hall.
KTIV-TV says the accident occurred about 9:30 a.m. Tuesday. The machine was being used to tear down the building.
The excavator landed on one of its sides in the building basement.
The operator was taken to a hospital for treatment of several cuts from broken glass.
A crane removed the excavator on Wednesday so work could continue.

These reprisals against individuals and/or groups engaging directly with the UN, the ACHPR and the IACHR, or otherwise providing information on particular countries' human rights situation, take the form of smear campaigns, harassment, intimidation, direct threats, physical attacks and killings.
The UN, the ACHPR and the IACHR all have normative agreements and rules of procedure explicitly prohibiting acts of reprisals by States and non-State actors.1/In an effort to safeguard the vital collaboration between civil society and the UN and regional human rights mechanisms, the Rapporteurs on human rights defenders commit to and call for enhanced monitoring and action to respect those rules, and support the recent initiative by the President of the UN Human Rights Council to call on States to immediately put an end to intimidation and harassment of individuals and groups attending the 19th session of the Human Rights Council.2/ (more…)

I should have done this years ago when I authored the bowling column in the Advance.
One of the most asked questions by readers and bowlers alike was, "who was Staten Island's best bowler ever?"
I always answered, "it depended on the era; that they were many great keglers to grace our alleys and centers through the years, so it's hard to say."
I still don't have a clear-cut answer for anyone since most of the bowling greats on the Island were before more time and some names will surely slip through the cracks.
And it's hard to predict where the current crop of top-notch, young bowlers on the Island will do in the future.
Surely, most of our bowling greats can be found in the Staten Island Bowling Hall of Fame, where they belong.
Actually, there is no wrong or right answer to this poll, but rather it should be based on opinion since the game has changed drastically from the 1970s onward as bowlers all know.
But I threw the question out there for some reaction from the Staten Island bowling community to stir the pot.
It's all in fun and I'm expecting a wide-range of answers and opinions, which is what this is all about.
Surely, I know there will be 100 more names you want to add so I left a space for readers to add a name in the poll.
Not included in the list are professionals Mark Roth and Johnny Petraglia, who should surely be on the list, but did most of their great bowling on the PBA circuit and when they had moved away from the Island.
So go ahead, Staten Island bowlers make my day and start polling.

The U.S. Senate has approved an amendment that calls for a rapid federal response. Last week, scientists in British Columbia announced they've found the fish-killing virus in wild Pacific Salmon for the first time. It's the second virus suspected in salmon deaths to be discovered this year. Update: Senator Cantwell calls for investigation into salmon virus By Tom Banse & KPLU News Staff • Oct 20, 2011 Flickr Federal fisheries scientists plan to survey Pacific Northwest and Alaskan waters to determine if a harmful European fish virus has spread here. And now, U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell and two senators from Alaska are calling for an investigation into the spread of the virus striking Canadian salmon. Idaho sockeye salmon count exceeds expectations By Aaron Kunz • Sep 16, 2011 Jessica Robinson / Northwest News Network BOISE, Idaho – This year might not be a record year for Idaho's endangered sockeye salmon. But biologists with Idaho Fish and Game say the returning adult salmon count is already above expectations for the year. They get an idea of those numbers during the annual "Sockeye Roundup."

Red Sea Monasteries
The first official project undertaken by the Byzantine Institute and Thomas Whittemore was the examination and documentation of wall paintings in the Red Sea Monasteries in Egypt, which occurred between 1929 and 1932. Filmed in 1930, this film was likely recorded during the First Expedition (1929-1930) to the Red Sea Monasteries. This film constitutes unique documentation of the monks and local men, and the surrounding landscape.
Film Sequence
- Film starts with general exterior views of the monastery of Saint Paul According to Michael Jones of the American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE), Cairo, the film mainly contains views of the monastery of Saint Paul.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) -- The calendar says it's June, and here are Indiana and Louisville playing for a national championship.
Yes, the sport is baseball this time, not the game played with the big orange ball for which both schools are traditionally known.
The Hoosiers (48-18) are making their College World Series debut as the first Big Ten team in 29 years to reach Omaha. They'll open Saturday night against a Louisville team (51-12) that's here for only the second time, and first since 2007.
"Maybe we should get a basketball and start a pickup game out here," Indiana third baseman Dustin DeMuth said with a grin after Friday's practice at TD Ameritrade Park.
The CWS begins Saturday afternoon with Mississippi State (48-18) facing No. 3 national seed Oregon State (50-11). The teams that make it through double-elimination bracket play will advance to the best-of-three finals that start June 24.
After the Hoosiers won their super regional at Florida State, basketball coach Tom Crean said Indiana was now a baseball state. Coach Tracy Smith said he appreciated Crean's comment but that, as an Indiana native, he knows baseball's place.
Right now, that place is Omaha. Like other teams that play in the CWS for the first time, they are sure to be the favorites of the locals who will fill up the stadium.
One of the Hoosiers' preseason goals, as stated in big letters on a clubhouse wall back in Bloomington, Ind., was to get to Omaha even though they had never made it out of regionals in their only other NCAA tournament appearances in 1996 and 2009.
Now that they're here?
"We're definitely here to win," DeMuth said. "We've talked about that a lot this week. One of our goals was to get to Omaha, and we didn't really specify what we wanted to do in Omaha. We have good leadership, everybody has a good head on their bodies, and everybody is going to stay focused and try to win baseball games."
Louisville is trying to finish what has been a spectacular run for the university. The Cardinals beat Florida in the Sugar Bowl, won the men's national championship in basketball and were national runners-up in women's basketball.
"You want to get on the train of success, as we like to call it," Louisville coach Dan McDonnell said. "At this point in the year, we're glad we're able to do our part and hopefully cap off really a magical year in college athletics."
Indiana won two of three regular-season games against Louisville and will start left-hander Joey DeNato (9-2) against Chad Green (10-3).
Mississippi State features All-America right fielder Hunter Renfroe, the No. 13 overall draft pick of the San Diego Padres who is batting .360 with 15 home runs. The only higher draft choice in the CWS is North Carolina third baseman Colin Moran, taken sixth by the Miami Marlins.
Kendall Graveman (7-5) will start for MSU against either Beavers lefty Matt Boyd (10-3) or freshman Andrew Moore (14-1).
Oregon State bounced back from a loss to Kansas State in Game 1 of super regionals to return to the CWS for the fourth time since 2005. The Beavers have tied a school record for most wins with solid offense and strong pitching.
"We've gotten consistent front-line pitching," Beavers coach Pat Casey said. "We've played defense well enough to keep us in most games. We have some guys in the middle of the order that can hit but nothing that's going to necessarily wow you." -- Eric Olson, AP Sports Writer

Chile's Best Beaches
By esmith, February 2013
Chile has many beautiful beaches, from the north, where it borders with Peru, down to several hours' drive south from Santiago. If you're expecting the tepid, bathwater-temperature beaches of the Caribbean though, some of Chile's beaches will surprise you. In the Norte Chico and Norte Grande (slightly southern north, and more far north), the water is warmer than it is further south, where the cool Humboldt current sweeps up from Antarctica, and chills Chile's water to the perfect fishing grounds for seafood and fish.
Editor's Note: This recommendation was taken from our Chile Things to Do blog. Visit the original post to continue reading the full post and to learn more about things to do in Chile.

Design debate
Regarding the Gadsden Street townhouse project referenced by a local resident in a June 4 letter to the editor: We believe vigorous debate over new design is healthy for our city and a vital part of what makes Charleston a great place.
On Gadsden, our architectural and development team devised a plan that required no zoning variances whatsoever and replaced a most unsightly asphalt lot, utilizing extraordinarily costly and decorative exterior materials. It is 100 percent pervious in an area of poor drainage (holding our runoff). In the spirit of inclusion, we held a neighborhood meeting open to all about the design, consulted with the preservation and historical entities and city staff.
The author failed to mention that our plan was overwhelmingly embraced by the super majority of Harleston Village, and we respect the detractor's right at the public hearing to have called it a "ghastly blight." The rather diverse BAR, to the board member, had resounding praise for the design, which is proud to be from 2014, but is most harmonious to the neighborhood. Again, these debates are what makes our city great.

Over their heads
I have just read the graphic autobiographical novel "Fun Home" by Alison Bechdel. This is the book that caused our state Legislature so many fits of moral outrage and resulted in a budget fight that would punish state-funded colleges for books that our representatives deem inappropriate. This book is not the pornography that certain of these people decided it was.
Rather, it is a brilliant retelling of the author's conflicted family and her own struggle with her relationship with her father. Unlike the retelling by our legislators, people in this book are not simple or evil or simply sexual. Reducing it to homosexual pornography is not just inaccurate, it is obscene.
Besides the exploration of an adult looking back on her childhood and her family, this is a literary novel, and in it were many complex allusions. It would have been wise for our elected officials, before they made judgment, to have read the book with an open mind, and also to have recognized when they were in beyond their depth.
Too many of our legislators have appointed themselves experts in morality, not just in literature but science as well. This year they have weighed in on medical matters, particularly, preventing people from smoking marijuana to ease chronic pain, and forcing doctors to report to lawmakers specifics of a woman's pregnancy in order to prevent her from seeking an abortion that would be medically justified.
This is overreach by people unwilling to accept the limits of their knowledge. Our legislators should rely on experts and not opinions that merely support their own limited beliefs. Likewise, they should want our children to expand their understanding of the world and the people in it. Our children and young adults should be encouraged to consider alternate ideas and to think critically about the world we live in. If only our legislators would model that philosophy.
In "Fun Home" Bechdel creates dynamic parallels with James Joyce's "Ulysses." She says, "Ulysses, of course, was banned for many years by people who found its honesty obscene."
Isn't it ironic that those words today reflect the philosophy of those who would try to ban her book from being read by students seeking honest reflection?

VA misconduct
Action must be taken to correct the misconduct at Veterans Affairs hospitals. We must care for the wounded of these most recent wars coming home with horrific injuries. They will need care for years.
Originally, we began this effort in the colonies with laws "to support disabled soldiers," followed in 1930 by forming the VA, and then explosive growth of benefits, laws and beneficiaries in the next 50-60 years. As originally designed, it was a system to care for those with service-connected injuries, wounds in battle and battle disabilities.
Benefits and hospital beds are going to many with no service-connected injury. Many get benefits who served only a few months in uniform in the 1960s, had no service-connected injuries and spent the last 40-50 years in civilian life. They now want the VA to provide their health care.
President Obama set forth an initiative to eliminate homelessness for veterans. A noble goal, but not one for the VA. Why should the VA provide medical care for those who have spent the last 30-50 years in civilian life and had no service-connected injuries?
Why should the VA provide medical care to the wives of vets who are disabled?
Why should the VA attempt to work on drug and alcohol abuse of those who exited the military 20-40 years ago?
If we are to properly serve those we see asking for money for wounded warriors, the VA must be changed and this must be the focus of the VA. The insanity of welfare within the VA must go away and every serving congressman is responsible. Not the VA.

Not that simple
A May 26 letter titled "What's the use?" gives us a simplistic analysis of sea level rise by only considering the average effects dictated by pure geometry. This is akin to inferring that because a river has an average depth of two feet, one can easily wade across it.
That 16-foot channel in the middle comes as a big surprise to the suddenly drowning wader. The letter ignores the most salient fact of sea level rise; like Tip O'Neill said of politics, it's all local. The amount of rise (or fall) depends not only on added volume but on temperature, local salinity, local seabed contour, rise and fall of land, and other more esoteric factors.
For example, water that is fresh and warm is less dense than saltier and colder water. A ton of the former takes up more space than a ton of the latter. A column of water a kilometer deep will rise about 1.5 centimeters with each 0.2 degree Centigrade increase in temperature.
To these effects must be added considerations of storm surge and tidal surge, two different phenomena that frequently occur at the same time. Relatively small increases in sea level rise can contribute to large increases in the heights of surges. That's why Florida and other low-lying regions like Charleston are in trouble.
For anyone serious about understanding sea level rise issues, I recommend "Rising Sea Levels: An Introduction to Cause and Impact" by Hunt Janin and Scott A. Mandia.

C of C law school
It has been noted that the Charleston School of Law wants to change ownership, and InfiLaw is being considered. I have an idea that might be more beneficial. The law school should become part of the College of Charleston.
It could remain in the existing building and retain the existing faculty, curriculum and mode of operation, slightly modified. It would accept qualified people from anywhere, and would enable graduates of the College of Charleston to pursue a law degree. The Legislature is considering a bill to allow the C of C to offer more advanced degrees. A law degree could be one of them. This would be a win-win solution for both CSOL and the C of C. CSOL could keep its name.
My alma mater, Indiana Tech, started out as a small accelerated program for engineering in a single building in downtown Fort Wayne, Ind.
In the late 1950s it acquired the campus of Concordia College in Fort Wayne. Since then it has grown by leaps and bounds, has several extension campuses across Indiana, and offers a wide variety of degrees, including advanced degrees. In September 2013 it added a law school. It took many years from Indiana Tech's beginning in 1933 to offer law degrees.
I think the CSOL-C of C idea should be considered.

He'll produce and possibly star in new scripted and unscripted shows for Lionsgate TV, the studio responsible for hits like Orange Is the New Black for Netflix and Nashville for ABC, among others.
"I don't really want to do another talk show," Ferguson tells PEOPLE exclusively. "I mean, I should never say never. But I want to look at everything else. I want to do stuff that I feel excited about going to work in the morning, to do something that's a bit different. Other than that, I really don't know. I should have an agenda!"

Electronic Field Trip to a Watershed
KET's Electronic Field Trip to a Watershed takes students to urban and rural settings across Kentucky to see how water from rain and snow is collected and funneled into common waterways—and how human activities affect the quality of water everywhere.
Mountain streams and low-lying wetlands, karst and sinkholes, city storm drains and mighty rivers are all interconnected in a water system that sustains all life on Earth. Animations in the field trip video show how smaller watersheds flow into larger ones and how rain that falls on Kentucky fields eventually ends up in the Gulf of Mexico. In exploring these cycles and interactions, the video also illustrates the most common forms of nonpoint source water pollution and what individuals, families, and communities can do to prevent it.
The field trip video is available in two versions: one for grades 3-5 and one for grades 6-8. The program is a 2008 KET production.
Ideas for Teachers
The Electronic Field Trip to a Watershed is part of the Raindrops to Rivers project to develop resources for classrooms and the general public on water quality. Raindrops to Rivers includes a professional development resource that features authentic video of Kentucky classrooms showcasing exemplary instruction on watersheds and nonpoint source pollution. Available online at RaindropsToRivers.org as well as on CD-ROM, this resource includes nine lessons captured on video as well as links to Kentucky Core Content and Program of Studies, lesson materials, and additional resources. Lessons are organized by both grade level and instructional sequence and include examples of interdisciplinary collaborations.
Another component of the Raindrops to Rivers project was the documentary Common Ground and Cleaner Water, a 2005 KET production. The one-hour program focuses on water quality issues, expanding on the theme "If It's on the Ground, It's in Your Water." Watch the documentary video »
Additional Formats
The Raindrops to Rivers videos and teaching materials are also available on a DVD. Kentucky educators may request a free copy from KET Professional Development, (800) 432-0951, ext. 7271 or . The two field trip videos are also available for download from KET EncycloMedia.
Curriculum Connections
The Electronic Field Trip to a Watershed addresses the following Kentucky Academic Expectations:
2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.5, 2.6, and 2.31.
Program of Studies:
• Earth/Space Science: The Earth and the Universe
• Unifying Concepts: Interdependence

The Sharpest Tool in the Shed: An Examination of Financial Statement Management Tools during IPOs

The current literature presents conflicting evidence as to whether IPO firms manage earnings. Two major shortcomings of prior studies are their assumptions that: 1) investors primarily care about bottom-line earnings; and 2) all firms, regardless of their operating models, only manage earnings. We relax those assumptions by examining the application of discretion over various accounting items across different industry sectors. We find cross-sectional variation in the application of discretion over sales, R&D (R&D overinvestment), and other earnings items, with discretion being significantly associated with the relative importance of the items for IPO valuation. We further show that sales growth possesses the greatest value relevance, and the majority of IPO firms correspondingly manage sales. Lastly, we show that managed sales, and to a lesser degree managed other earnings items, are negatively associated with future stock returns. Overall, we provide robust evidence of use of discretion by IPO firms over various accounting items, depending on the firm's operating model.

Do-while statement
I'm supposed to write a code in do-while statement...I've done the majority of it, but I know there's errors with it....how do I fix it?
#include <iostream>
Re: Do-while statement
Mind sharing the errors because I see you have missing } and it does not look like a C or C++ code.
Re: Do-while statement
Okay, I fixed it a little bit and it is supposed to be a C++ code but it's still not running properly and I'm not entirely sure where the error is. I need to make sure the code has post test loops in it and the particular problem is to allow one or more multiplication tables and the multiplier allows 1-9. What do I need to do?
Re: Do-while statement
Crap. I got the thing to run, but when I enter the multiplicand....all it does is repeat the number. Constantly. Oops. I guess I messed up somewhere. Any ideas, please?
Re: Do-while statement
What does this line do?
multiplicand * 1;
Re: Do-while statement
Hello I am a student at UAT
I think I see your problem at lteast part of it.
If it repeats the number entered continually it sounds like a looping error. so lets look at loops.
do {
so if it constantly repeats a number over and over in the cout, then the problem must be here somewhere. My advice to stop the first problem of repeating numbers is fix the loop.
As for the logic error ( that would be the calculations going wrong) you should start with some psuedo code. For instance, what are you trying to do.
are you trying to multiply the numbers up until the "multiplicand" using the multiplier?
If so then your logic should read like this:
multiply my multiplicand by my multiplier
out put my result
add one to my multiplier
check if my multiplier is equal to my multiplicand
while it is not repeat the process.
It will help if you get into a habit of writing this down, then use these comments as commentary for the code. That will help those of us helping you understand your problem better and it will better define what you are trying to accomplish.

"He was so distressed, so despondent, so overwhelmed," says Powell's friend Wayne Hamberg, who met the 29-year-old Web site programmer about a year ago at a Salt Lake City computer club gathering.
"The reason he's not talking to police is he's just shut down," Hamberg, 49, a software engineer says about Joshua. "He's so emotionally drained and everybody's attacking him, making him out to be a Mark Hacking or a Scott Peterson. The Josh I know is not some kind of evil guy. I don't believe that's he's suicidal or anything like that, but right now, I don't think he's capable of doing much more than tying his own shoelaces."
Powell, whom police consider a person of interest (there have been no suspects named) in the case, has been under intense scrutiny since he told police he went on a midnight LINK "/people/article/0,,20331686,00.html" "desert camping trip"] in freezing conditions with his two sons, ages 2 and 4, on the night Susan Powell was last seen. Thus far, he has refused to retrace his whereabouts or give investigators an in-depth interview about the night's events.
Family Against Him"I told him Tuesday night, when he came to see me, not to say anything to me about the circumstances, only to talk to his attorney," says Hamberg. "I want to be his friend, not somebody snooping around for a scoop. I'm there to support him and I'd like to think that he's innocent. I'd like to think that of all of my friends."
Hamberg noticed that Powell was thin and pale, as though he hadn't eaten in days. "I offered to make him dinner, but he refused, saying he just had no appetite for food – that it was tasteless," Hamberg says. "I gave him a hug, then he just sat on the couch and cried. He said the only thing keeping him going right now was his two boys. He's latched on to them as his sole mental support because even some of his own family members have turned on him now."
Although Hamberg has never met Susan Powell, he says Joshua talked about her occasionally during their twice-monthly club gatherings. "Usually, when he had something to say, it was nice," he says. "I do know, though, that he thought Susan was overspending. So there were some financial problems. But that happens to a lot of families."
Needs SupportDuring their visit at Hamberg's house, Joshua Powell told his friend that he'd been fired from his job because of all the bad publicity, and that the only reason he'd hired an attorney was because "he was so overwhelmed and needed some help."
"He didn't feel that anybody was sticking up for him," says Hamberg. "I've never seen a guy look so beaten down and withdrawn. I think the reason he's not commenting is because right now, he's just incapable of it – not because he has something to hide."
Whether Powell had something to do with his wife's disappearance or not, "he needs some emotional support right now and I'm there for him," says Hamberg. "I don't want to think about whether he could have done the unspeakable. I don't even go there. But I'm worried about Josh as a person. He could really use some friends right now."

With increased globalisation, companies are facing stiffer competition and successful companies cannot afford to harbour inefficiencies if they are to be competitive. Furthermore, customers are becoming more demanding. Business processes must be designed to ensure that they are effective and meet customer requirements. A well-designed process will improve efficiency and deliver greater productivity.
This unit will survey the analytical tools that can be used to model, analyse, understand and design business processes. Students will also gain hands-on experience in using simulation software as a tool for analysing business processes.
Upon completion of this unit students should have acquired: an understanding of business organisations, their functional structure and the advantage of considering the process oriented view of organisations; a thorough knowledge of business processes, their structure and how processes fit in to the overall organisation objectives; knowledge of the analytical tools that can be used to model, analyse, understand, and design business processes; and skills to use simulation software as a tool for analysing business processes.

Parti Quebecois leader Pauline Marois says a separate Quebec would continue to use the Canadian dollar "for sure."
She repeated to reporters today that regardless of a "yes" vote in a referendum, Quebec would have a relationship with Canada similar to that found within the EU.
"You know, if you look at the European Union, each country has their own policy, but they accept to share their borders. Their money. They have the Euro."
While Canada could not prevent another country from using its currency, the Bank of Canada would still control the interest rates, the inflation rate and would be able to influence the value of the currency.
Marois says Quebec would also like a seat at the table. "It's important to have a place at this level. But if it is not the case...we will see," she says.
The European Union shares a common currency and a common monetary policy (control of the interest and inflation rates), but each separate country controls its own taxes and spending. Many experts believe this has contributed to the economic crisis in places like Greece and Spain.
But the PQ leader says English Canada has an interest in allowing Quebec influence within the Bank of Canada.
"Because we are eight million people living here in Quebec and we have an economy which is a rich one," she says.
Countries in the European Union also allow their citizens to travel and work in any member country, they maintain a common trade policy, and they hold a common parliament in Brussels.
Marois did not explain whether an independent Quebec would also seek any or all of these conditions.

my home - makeovers
...recovered my old Ikea swivel chair in 1970s Jonelle fabric, I think the colours tie in perfectly with my original vintage 70s rug from Germany...
I'm on the look out for some new dining chairs. I'm really tempted by these DSW Eiffel chairs from eBay (originally designed by Charles and Ray Eames). But I really love the much less affordable Hestor chairs from Habitat... if I could justify £120 per chair, I would have one in each colour! They're very Dutch in style, so when we visit Holland I'm going to trawl all the local Kringloopwinkels (Dutch secondhand stores) for some similar ones.
I'm also swapping round and making over all the bedrooms which I'll blog about once they're done.

Looks gorgeous, and those Hestor chairs are yummy - they remind me of old school chairs, with the splintery plywood that always grazed the back of your thighs though!

Beisner Explains Why Environmentalism Represents the 'Greatest Threat to Western Civilization'
Yesterday, Dr. Calvin Beisner of the Cornwall Alliance appeared on Janet Mefferd's radio program where he explained that the modern environmental movement represents "the greatest threat to Western civilization" because it combines "the utopian vision of Marxism, the scientific facade of secular humanism, and the religious fanaticism of jihad" into a pseudo-religion that undermines Christianity:
Mefferd: That seems like, maybe to some people, like hyperbole Dr. Beisner, but why do you think that that's the case?
Beisner: Well, let me just give you four simple, direct reasons.
First, because unlike the Soviet Union and its satellites in the Cold War and unlike Islamic jihad today which were, or are, external and clearly recognized as enemies by the overwhelming majority of people in the free world, environmentalism is internal and thought by most to be friend, not foe.
Second, because unlike arid and nihilistic secular humanism, environmentalism speaks to the inherent spiritual yearnings of human souls and it provides plausible answers to dogged questions about how we got here and what causes suffering and how suffering might come to an end.
Third, because environmentalism incorporates the strengths of all three of those other threats: the utopian vision of Marxism, the scientific facade of secular humanism, and the religious fanaticism of jihad.
And fourth, finally, because environmentalism encompasses all the vague spiritualities that have frankly overwhelmed secular humanism in the West and now threaten the Christian faith as so many people now take to referring to themselves as "oh well, I'm spiritual but not religious," which basically means they are all involved in designer religion.

3 Things Experienced Moms Think New Moms Should KnowRebecca Odes
On Mothering Magazine's website, I found a thread where someone asked moms to give their best piece of advice for new mothers. When you hear "new mom advice", you often get things like "nap when the baby naps", or "put the baby down awake". Those practical tips can be invaluable. But even more important than the logistics of getting through the baby day is the big picture: How do you deal with the massive undertaking of having a baby, with all its complexities and challenges?
I was so happy to see that the advice these moms had to offer was full of insights on the bigger issues that come up in early parenthood. I'd even consider bookmarking this so you could keep it on hand as you embark on your own version of motherhood…so many nuggets of wisdom here that could help you get through the early months!
My three favorites:
1. Trust your gut. You know your baby best. Tell your MIL to stick it.
Whether it's your actual mother in law or someone else in your life who just fits that bossy stereotype, you'll probably have someone in your sphere who's brimming over with unwanted advice about what you should do with your baby. If this advice sounds good to you, great. If not, you can politely decline, simply ignore, or yes, tell the offending adviser to stick it. But I might not try this last one with your actual mother in law.
2. There is no one moment in time that defines you, or your child. This too shall pass.
I remember when my son was a newborn. He was fussy. He wouldn't sleep except on somebody's body. He woke constantly. I wondered what the hell I'd gotten myself into. If this was motherhood, I was not into it. But "this", whatever it is, is not what being a mother is about. Your baby, and life with him or her, will change hundreds of times in just the first year of life. You'll experience highs and lows on a moment to moment basis. But being a mother to a newborn is not like being a mother to a toddler which is not entirely like being a mother to an older child. Your experience as a mother will evolve with your kid, so don't judge how you feel about it by any phase or moment.
3. Accept as much help as is offered. Remember that attachments to other people do not detract from attachment to Mom, attachment is not a finite resource.
Might there be moments when seeing your baby giving love to another caregiver could sting a little? Sure. But you will always be the mom, no matter who else helps you with the day to day care of your child. And the alternative: 24 hour childcare with zero support, is tough for many moms to handle, and can even be emotionally dangerous. Remember: being a happy mom is an important part of being a good mom.

To the Editor.—"Gone to graveyards, everyone" to quote the song "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" (Pete Seegar). Derided by their full-time academic colleagues, purged by the University Hospital troglodytes, they are all gone. Virtually all of my role models as an intern and as a resident (Continued on p 2598.) (Continued from p 2594.) were attendings who were in full-time medical private practice. It has been years since I have been able to attend at our local Veterans Administration hospital. Now we have the dictatorship of the proletariat (euphemistically described as "the house staff have a different agenda from the private physicians") to provide most/all of the care in tertiary centers and health maintenance organizations.
A few of us, like Cincinnatus, remain plowing our fields, awaiting the call.

We are no longer offering Batucada - Eau de Toilette by L'Artisan Parfumeur. Discover a new favorite or contact our beauty concierge for further assistance.
A sparkling and sensual fragrance. The fruit of a collaboration between two perfumers, Karine Vinchon in Grasse and Elisabeth Maier in São Paulo, Batucada is a stunning celebration of Brazil.
Vibrant from the outset, a bolt of energy infects us with the beat of frenetic samba rhythms. A burst of lime, cachaça and fresh mint then appears, intoxicating our senses, much like Brazil's signature cocktail, the Caïpirinha. Exotic scents come into their own as the middle notes of the fragrance reveal Tiaré and ylang ylang flowers, recalling the heady perfume of sun cream. A sea salt note, so reminiscent of holidays, purifies the senses with its delicate fragrance, as if we were on the famous Ipanema beach. Finally, a skin accord comes through to the fore, just like the seductive scent of the samba dancers' skin, emanating a powerful and addictive sensuality.

Ohio sees over 7,000 claims of insurance fraud
Ohio's Department of Insurance says it processed more than 7,000 allegations of agent misconduct and insurance fraud last year.
Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor, the state's insurance director, said the department identified more than 700 civil and criminal violations of Ohio insurance law and took administrative action against 167 insurance agents and agencies.
The department also assessed $134,900 in fines and referred 71 individuals for prosecution.
In one case, the state revoked the license of a man in December after an investigation revealed he failed to submit a client's annuity application and investment to the insurer. Instead, he deposited the client's $30,000 check into his own bank account.
Taylor says the agency is working to raise awareness about the consequences of insurance fraud, while fighting the crime.

Shaving: 5 Things You Didn't Know
Page 2 of 2
4- Beard hair is as tough as copper wireAh, so maybe this is why so many dates, girlfriends and wives suffer from pogonophobia: the fear of beards (or at least the fear of a man's stubble and the fear of developing whisker burn).
According to many sources, dry beard hair and copper wire are indeed of equal strength (when of similar diameter). Trying to imagine drawing a razor over a face of copper wire is just awful. For this reason, sort of, shaving experts recommend using hot water prior to shaving. This has a twofold benefit: First, facial hair absorbs water, and it absorbs hot water significantly faster than cold water; and second, that water weakens the hair by as much as a third, making shaving so much easier, and the results, substantially better.
