If chicken soup is conjuring images of a boring, mundane dish feel free to spice it up with a bit of international flair. Sylvia Warner, in-store nutritionist for Giant in Camp Hill, suggests going Asian by adding ginger, spring onions, soy sauce and black pepper to chicken stock.
French chicken soups contain more bay leaves and fresh thyme and garlic than traditional American ones.
Love your Tex Mex? Swap out carrots and onions for fire-roasted tomatoes and black beans.
For something completely different, opt for Greek lemon chicken soup, which, once the chicken has been made into broth, ditches the meat and uses eggs for protein instead.
Adding a Jewish flair to the soup can be tricky as everyone makes it differently, said Norman Gras, owner of Norman Gras Kosher Catering in Harrisburg. But one ingredient is the same for every kosher chicken soup-matzo balls. "You can't have chicken soup without the matzo balls," Gras said.
To give it a Vietnamese spin, use radishes, dim sum, bean sprouts, and green and white onions, said Loc Nguyen, owner of Garden Vietnamese Restaurant in Harrisburg. For other ideas on how to cook chicken soup check out these recipes.

Lemon-Ginger Chicken Noodle Soup
Makes: 4 servings
- 1 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 medium shallots, thinly sliced (about 2/3 cup)
- 2 quarts reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 to 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 8 ounces fresh (not dried) fettucine, spaghetti or angel hair pasta
- 2 cups stemmed fresh spinach or watercress
- 1/3 cup ponzu sauce (see note)
- Juice of 1 small lemon
- Salt to taste
How to prepare
- Cut the ginger into thick slices. Lay the slices on a cutting board, cover with plastic wrap and smash the ginger with a meat mallet or a heavy pan.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a 5-to 6-quart soup pot over medium heat. Add the shallots and ginger and saute, stirring, until shallots are slightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pot.
- Bring the broth to a simmer and add the shredded chicken. Cook, partially covered, for about 3 minutes. Add the noodles and simmer about 3 more minutes or according to package instructions. Remove from heat. Add the spinach, ponzu and lemon juice. Season with salt to taste.
Note: Ponzu is a thin, very light, citrus-based sauce. Find it in the Asian foods aisle of most supermarkets.

My understanding is the max is shy of 2,000 fps or so. I believe it was a really big deal when the first smokeless rounds started exceeding that threshold.
March 5, 2010, 11:51 PM
...and we care,why? most don't shoot, say, .45-70 for the velocities we can get. also,with serious calibers,it's not about velocity, so much as retained energy - of which, there is a bunch with a 405 gr. bullet, even at a leisurely 1,000 fps.

Thanks for pointing out once again why the highroad sucks BHP FAN. God forbid someone wants to know something that might not be practical.
March 6, 2010, 01:14 AM
I think a .40 with patched round ball can hit 2000 in a long barrel. I know little of the saboted inline stuff, maybe they will hit a tiny bit faster. Dunno why I'd think that....patched round ball has always worked well for me, and the little 40 I had was deadly on mule deer.
March 6, 2010, 01:40 AM
With PRB speeds run from 1200 to at or about the 2k mark. With a .32 1800 fps with a 45 gr prb is about 22 mag but short of a 22 Hornet. A traditional sidelock or flintlock .50 195 gr or.54 225 gr PRB can get 2k with 110 gr of fff 777(Warning: we're all gonna die puttin' that much powder in these old guns). A 30-30 gets 2000 from a 170 gr jfp. A 30-06 gets 2700 from a 165 whatever. That puts the BP guns in 50 and 54 (Probably .45 but I haven't chronoed one) between a 30-30 and a 30-06 for power Not for speed. The hard knock on PRBs is that they fall on their a$$ shortly after 75 yards due to a poor ballistic efficiency. Hence the movement to conicals. After that we re-invent more efficient priming and the 45-70.
The magic of large bore conicals in the 400-700 gr class is that they will shoot at 800 to 1000 yards with the center fires, rainbow trajectory not withstanding.
Lyman and Thompson Center have manuals online if you want to do your own research.
So that's everything that I know about BP speed and ballistics. Take what you want and make smart remarks about the rest.
Tacky remark to be added after my nap.

Traditions has a sample load chart indicating that a .40 caliber saboted bullet weighing 180 grains can attain a velocity of 2391 feet per second from a .45 caliber muzzle loading rifle with a 150 grain powder charge. But that's probably with a substitute powder.
Ultimate Firearms produces a strong custom inline rifle that will safely shoot 200 grains of powder. Using a magnum rifle primer for ignition, they claim that all of the powder will completely burn in the first 9 inches of the barrel. I'm not sure how fast black powder can push bullets out of their guns but they also claim velocities slightly under 2400 feet per second with 270 - 300 grain bullets. Even if they're loading with Pyrodex pellets, Swiss black powder just might produce similar velocities.
Powder Type Bullet Bullet weight Velocity Accuracy"@100
50 Grs Hornady SST (Target) 300 Grs 1268 fps .250@50 yds

The theoretical fastest is probably higher than anything you can get from a muzzleloader.
The fastest velocity with smokeless I've heard of in a sorta normal firearm is 6,616 fps. It was a wildcat .30 cal using .50 BMG cases, shooting saboted lightweight steel projectiles (it was a fragment simulator, not a regular gun). But IIRC, the theoretical max is 8,000 or 10,000 fps, which requires a gun with an internally tapering barrel (to keep pressures high) to achieve.

Thanks for the interesting replies.
Just to clear the air, I sent BHP Fan an apology PM so hopefully there are no hard feelings.
March 6, 2010, 04:49 PM
It's actually a really interesting question, because one would assume that as a propellant you could keep adding more of it to increase the speed. But there really does seem to be a "wall" when it comes to black powder. As arcticap's chart shows even with more modern BP loadings you are hard pressed to get far into the 2,000's.
From reading about the 19th century African explorers, my understanding is that the inherent limitations of BP forced them to adopt larger and larger bored weapons. Going faster was not an option beyond a point, even with brass cartridges and centerfire primers. So the slugs had to keep getting bigger. That was only changed with nitro powders and after that point in the 1890's the 8 bore, 4 bore, paradox guns and other mega-bores faded from the scene to be replaced with "small" NE doubleguns and high velocity military type rounds.
But I've never heard a scientific explanation for this. It seems you can even fill a bench rifle's barrel with BP and still not get much of a velocity increase.
March 6, 2010, 05:23 PM
Scientific explanation: a bullet can only travel as fast as the propellant gas can, and an expanding gas can move, at the absolute fastest, at the speed of sound inside that gas.
This is also the difference between detonation and deflagration. A detonation means the gas moves at the speed of sound (in the exploding gas, not in air, so blast fronts are generally considered supersonic), while a deflagration means the gas is moving at any speed less than that (but a deflagration can be supersonic in air, too). TNT has a speed of sound of around 22,000 fps, which is why it blows stuff up a lot better than smokeless powder.
So black powder gas has a higher speed of sound than air, but is lower than the speed of sound in smokeless powder gas.
That's also why airguns top out at relatively low velocities (the speed of sound increases with pressure and temperature, so airguns can exceed the speed of sound in regular pressure and temperature air. Especially spring piston ones, since they heat up the air as well as compressing it. Also, Wikipedia says it's independent of pressure, but that's assuming an ideal gas under ideal conditions, which air is not).
Also why the super high-velocity "light gas guns" use light gas. The speed of sound in hydrogen, at atmospheric pressure, is 3.8 times higher than in air.

No sweat on the apology, Tank, as I kinda deserved it. I wasn't very ''High Road'', so here's me, apologizing right back at you.

the MV of a 16" naval gun is 2657 fps..., it's a black powder propelled projectile..., :what:
well it IS! :D
March 9, 2010, 12:01 AM
From my understanding, it comes down to the mass of the projectile and the relationship between the barrel length and the powder burned. I think the ideal is to burn all the powder before the ball is at the end of the bbl - thus the longer barrels tend to zip it out there a bit better.
I have friends that try to get that long-gong shot via an extra scoop of the black stuff, and mostly it all goes to sparks and fire out the muzzle and onto the ground.
The object is to maximize pressure, minimize projectile mass (for max muzzle velocity). But if you are hunting, you need mass to kill the critter with - which is where the trade comes in. More mass, then slower (but maintains vel with distance better than light). Seems time after time it comes around to the 40 or 45 cal as a great compromise - max velocity with enough mass for deer or antelope. But I know that my 50 will spit them out supersonic - witnessed by the crack and by the chrony...still not enough pill for an elk. There, I go to the slow, large bowling ball style of projectile, using a 60 cal for them critters. but I digress...and could be full of it to (and I am sure I'll be so informed..:D)

Regarding blackpowder and naval guns. Some blackpowder is used in the loading but most of the propellent is smokeless powder. The powder charge consists of multiple silk bags filled with a known weight of propellent. The "back" end of each bag had a red band indicating a layer of blackpowder. This layer was included to insure ignition of every bag in the charge. The guns were brought to level, the breech plug rotated and swung open. The projectile was placed in position on the loading tray and then rammed in to the breech ,then the powder charge was arranged in the tray and rammed slowly in to position behind the projectile. The brech plug is then swung in to position and rotated closed. Then the gun can be fired.
March 16, 2010, 08:43 PM
First, the speed of sound in a given gas is largely a function of temperature, pressure has very little effect.
The technical definition of a high explosive is one in which the flame front propagates faster than the speed of sound in that material. A low explosive is one in which the flame front propagates at less than the speed of sound in that material. There is nothing about the speed of sound itself that says the flame front has to propagate faster or slower. It's not like the effects on a projectile.
The reason for the velocity limitation with BP (or any other propellant) is that the combustion products have to be blown out the barrel and they have weight, so the speed is not unlimited. You can't push a bullet faster than the gas itself can move. Given a BP substitute that has the same energy as BP but weighs less, one would expect a slightly higher bullet velocity with a big charge.
Smokeless powder has a much higher energy content and weighs less, hence higher bullet velocities are possible. Also, note that almost 100% of the smokeless is converted to gas, while with BP you get a lot of potassium salt that is not a gas but a fine solid, (That's what makes the "smoke") so it just adds dead weight and isn't doing anything useful. Not even the BP stink we all love, that's from the sulfur.
March 16, 2010, 09:15 PM
First, the speed of sound in a given gas is largely a function of temperature, pressure has very little effect.
That's only in an ideal gas. I.e., a gas which is trapped in a sealed vessel (in zero gravity), which has been allowed to settle long enough to fill the entire thing to a uniform pressure and temperature.
Any time you've got gases expanding or moving due to pressure differences, you can throw the ideal gas law right out the window. For instance, you'll notice that the free energy of an ideal gas at X temperature and at Y temperature has absolutely nothing to do with the theoretical maximum work that can be obtained from that gas with a heat engine, by cooling it from X to Y.
You'll also notice that precharged airguns completely ignore the ideal gas law, giving muzzle energies in excess of the free energy that the ideal gas law predicts will be in the air tank.
If the ideal gas law were applicable to pressure gradients and gas movements, the ShinSung 707 would never be able to shoot 1250 fps. Yet it does. Precharged airguns get cold when they're fired, which means the speed of sound would decrease, if the air inside there were an ideal gas. It isn't an ideal gas, though, so precharge airguns are free to break the sound barrier if they really want to.
And you're right about the difference between low and high explosives, though. I got confused.
Even so, the pressure front of an explosion, whether low or high order, cannot exceed the speed of sound in the exploding gas.
March 17, 2010, 06:43 PM
You've gone over the top there. I was trying to keep it simple with the point that you can't push a bullet faster than you can get the gas alone to move. Granted, the situation inside the gun barrel is a dynamic one and the temperature and pressure is not the same at all points.
I'm not so sure a pressure wave is limited by the speed of sound, I'll have to go back and look that one up.
BP is an even messier case, since the combustion products are not all gas, some of them are solids. You lose energy pushing them out the barrel.
March 17, 2010, 07:22 PM
then there are the variables...bullet weight? round or conical? saboted projectile? powder granulation? what type of charcoal?

Police: Millcreek burglary suspect apprehended after escape from holding cell
Millcreek Township police said an Erie man in custody on charges in a recent burglary broke free of officers and bolted out of the township police department on Sunday morning.
Steven L. Spearman, 20, was apprehended a short time later at a nearby business, where he was hit with a Taser when he turned on a pursuing officer, police said Monday.
Spearman, of the 500 block of West 17th Street, remained in the Erie County Prison on bonds totaling $65,000. He was jailed on $25,000 bond on charges including burglary, theft and receiving stolen property in the Sept. 24 burglary at a West Ridge Road residence; and on $40,000 bond on charges of aggravated assault, escape and resisting arrest in his flight from police on Sunday.
Millcreek Police Chief Tom Carlotti said Monday that Spearman, who was wanted on a warrant in the burglary case, was apprehended by Erie police on West 17th Street on Sunday at about 9:45 a.m. Spearman was turned over to Millcreek police, and he was brought to the township police station for questioning and to await arraignment, Carlotti said.
Officers were placing Spearman in a holding cell when he pulled away from one officer and shoved another, according to a criminal complaint. Spearman ran about 35 feet down a hallway and went into a garage, where he slid under a partially-open garage door and ran off, police said.
An officer who caught up with Spearman told him to stop and put his hands in the air. He complied, but then put his arms down and turned on the officer, Carlotti said. The officer deployed a Taser to subdue Spearman, according to police.
Spearman and another person, who has not been identified, are accused of stealing a safe containing guns, cash, jewelry and personal papers from the West Ridge Road residence. The guns have been recovered, police said.

The Federal Reserve is getting ready for its latest attempt to strengthen the economy. The Fed will use a method nicknamed QE2, which stands for Quantitative Easing, Round 2.
Quantitative easing basically means the Fed will put more money into the economy and hopefully bring down long-term interest rates.
On Tuesday, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will open a two-day meeting where he will help craft a plan to buy more government bonds. The idea is for those purchases to further drive down interest rates on mortgages and other loans. Cheaper loans might then lead people to spend more. The economy would benefit, and companies would step up hiring. The Fed would then watch the economy, checking its strength to see how much more money it will need.
However, some economists warn that too much money could be a bad thing and lead to inflation or more financial bubbles in the future.
The Fed's aid program this time is likely to be smaller - $300 billion to $500 billion - and more gradual. In part, that's because the economy is in better shape now.
"Bernanke is trying to strike a balance," said Lou Crandall, chief economist at Wrightson ICAP.
But many economists agree that it's still a gamble.
William Dudley, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, estimates that a $500 billion purchase program would provide about as much stimulus as a cut of one-half to three-quarters of a point in the Fed's main interest-rate lever. That's the federal funds rate.
That rate is already at a record low near zero. That's why the Fed is turning to unconventional methods to try to energize the economy.

How do you rate as an 'Elite' Recruiter?
Last week I had the pleasure to start a customized Recruiter Academy Education & Development Solution for one of the largest companies in the world, with recruiters from countries literally spanning the globe, including the Philippines to England, and the United States to Saudi Arabia.
As part of our program, we encouraged the recruiters to baseline their performance by participating in our 'Elite' Recruiter Competency & Skill Self-Assessment Study. We also asked each and every recruiter to rate which 5 competencies and which 5 skills they believe are most important for being recognized as an 'Elite' Recruiter.
As I analyzed the data, it was amazing to see how transferable these competencies and skills were even though the recruiters represented different cultures from all over the world. The results were very similar to the ones I might find from an organization with U.S. based recruiters in Seattle and Peoria vs. those in Saudi Arabia and the Philippines!
Our 'Elite' Recruiter Competency & Skill Self-Assessment model has evolved over the last 15 years through interaction with recruitment leaders across the country. And over the last three years, over 2500 recruiters have participated in this FREE study.
We also encourage you to spend just 15 minutes and Participate Today. When completed, please feel free to provide us feedback on how it compares with your model. We will be posting some of the aggregate results and interesting findings from this round of participants very soon.
Most importantly, we encourage you to:
- Utilize this tool to identify and hire 'Elite' Recruiters.
- Baseline performance before you embark on a performance improvement initiative or an educational program, like one of our Recruiter Academy Certified Education Programs.
NOTE: Recruitment leaders – if you would like us to perform a customized analysis for you team, please contact email@example.com.
I hope you have a Perfect Week!

One of the coolest things about Roger Ebert is his annual "Ebertfest," once known as Roger Ebert's Overlooked Film Festival. Basically he selects a bunch of films that he loves that he feels didn't get enough notice and does his best to bring more notice to them. This includes recent films, as well as silent-era films, and even films shot in overlooked formats, like 70mm (he showed Tron once). I'm sure many of us would love to program his or her own film festival, and for the fun of it, I'm going to do my own fantasy "overlooked" film festival right here and now, but hopefully with a slightly new wrinkle.
Overlooked Genre: The Western
On this day, I would show Andrew Dominik's The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007), which I chose as the best film of 2007 and one of the ten best films of the decade. It made a paltry $3.9 million in the United States, but it's gloriously shot, contains one of Brad Pitt's finest performances (and Casey Affleck's finest), and is the smartest movie about celebrity made in the "Reality TV" era. It deserves to be seen on the big screen. For the second feature, I'd go back to one of my all-time favorites, Monte Hellman's "existential" The Shooting (1966), with Warren Oates, Jack Nicholson and Mille Perkins, about a mysterious trek across the desert. strong>
Overlooked Actor: Colin Farrell
I'm not sure what it is about Colin Farrell; maybe people see him as a spoiled thug, or an egotist, or just a poor man's Russell Crowe. But I like him more and more each time I see him. He chooses interesting projects, often outside of Hollywood, with interesting directors. He has considerable range, and can play upper or lower class, dashing, or poetic, or nervous. Although he has made few comedies, it's easy to see from films like Phone Booth and In Bruges that he could handle a good one. For this day, I would choose his most overlooked films, starting with Terrence Malick's The New World (2005). It received plenty of notice in the decade-end critics' polls a few months ago, but it received a bit of a drubbing when it opened in 2005, and it still has not fully recovered. I'd pair it with Woody Allen's Cassandra's Dream (2007), which was almost totally dismissed as an inferior copy of Match Point, but I loved its tale of two brothers who make a dark decision and struggle to live with the consequences.
Overlooked Epic
I have already written many times about the decision to release John Woo's epic Red Cliff in a shortened version for the United States, which was a critical mistake. In its chopped up form, barely anyone went to see it; I recently calculated that, for every one person that saw the edited Red Cliff, one thousand people saw Avatar. I would wager that, ironically, Red Cliff would have made a lot more money in its complete version. American audiences love a giant-sized epic, and they really don't come much better than this one. I finally saw the full-length version on Blu-Ray, and I'd easily rank it with the greatest battle epics of all time, perhaps even on par with Lawrence of Arabia. It runs about 4-1/2 hours, so no double feature here.
In a time filled with bombastic musicals and Nicholas Sparks movies, it's hard to find a genuine, heart-tugging romance anymore, and apparently, when they do come along, no one goes. Greg Mottola's Adventureland (2009) somehow manages to avoid too many jokes about scrotums (OK, it has a few) and focuses instead on genuine human feelings and the precise tone of a wasted summer job. Meanwhile, Jane Campion's Bright Star (2009) failed to please most costume connoisseurs, perhaps because the focus was not on the costumes, and instead on the passionate, painful romance between two poetic souls separated by economic circumstance.
Overlooked Docs
Abel Ferrara's lovable, rambling, personal documentary Chelsea on the Rocks (2008) barely even opened to audiences. To make it, Ferrara checked into the infamous Chelsea Hotel and roamed its halls for six months, talking to various and former residents, including Ethan Hawke, Milos Forman and Robert Crumb. Ferrara is not exactly a "research and interview" kind of guy, and he sometimes mutters profanities and even wanders in front of the camera during conversations. If only more documentaries were this wonderfully ramshackle. Agnes Varda made an equally personal documentary, about herself, with The Beaches of Agnes. And despite some high acclaim, and a slot on the Academy's short list for documentaries, it didn't really register with audiences. But it's a remarkably wry and intelligent look back at a fascinating life, including an encounter with Harrison Ford that puts Bruno to shame.
Overlooked Imports
There are dozens of great foreign films from the last three years alone that qualify as "overlooked," but I'm randomly grabbing two that I would love to watch again right this moment: Nacho Vigalondo's Timecrimes (2007), from Spain, and So Yong Kim's Treeless Mountain (2008), from South Korea. The former is one of the best time-travel movies I've ever seen (an American remake is coming), and the latter is one of the best coming-of-age movies I've ever seen. They don't have much in common other than subtitles, and the fact that they're both so, so, so good.
Overlooked Bad Behavior
How Werner Herzog's Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009) did not become an instant cult classic is a mystery to me, other than the fact that everyone chose to fixate on the "remake" factor (it really has nothing to do with Abel Ferrara's 1992 film except the title). Nicolas Cage is so superbly demented in it that other actors should have been camping out on his doorstep, just to catch a sample of his essence. (It's his best performance since Adaptation). What else can possibly compare, except for the image of Bruce Campbell wailing and drinking booze out of a dog bowl in his wonderful sci-fi/comedy/meta-movie My Name Is Bruce (2008)?

Why do they allow farmers to spray their crops by airplane?
Aerial application of spraying is done by licensed applicators following Ohio Pesticide Applicator Rules and Guidelines and product label requirements. The materials that can be aerial sprayed and the times and conditions under which they may be sprayed are tightly controlled. Aerial spraying is sometimes necessary in wet seasons when farmers cannot get into the fields. Because of better coverage, aerial product rates can sometimes be less than ground application, resulting in less total overall chemical use. Some aerial applications are made to seed cover crops in growing crops, at times when ground equipment can't go through them. Aerial applications can reduce soil compaction due to less equipment traffic on a field, resulting in less surface runoff from fields. Aerial application is an important agricultural management tool, and is not done indiscriminately, or without regulation. For more information contact your state's Department of Agriculture.

Houston psychologist Sally Porter Ross drives the Middle Lane on Wednesdays:
As soon as Dana started her session with me, she launched:
"It invariably happens when we have time alone together. Like yesterday: Mother and I were enjoying a lovely lunch, catching up on things. And then, it's like she can't help herself. She starts in on Dad – what's the latest awful or stupid thing he's done, how he's done this before and how she doesn't know how much longer she can stand it. It makes me feel just miserable and as always, I just sit there and take it, waiting for her to wind down."
And when Dana's husband launches into a tirade about his frustrations and disappointments, guess what Dana does? She just sits there and takes it, waiting for him to wind down.
Dana realized early in life that when her mother wanted to criticize someone, it was somehow against the rules to interject or try to get her to stop. And now Dana was following that same policy in her marriage.
For most of us, there are amazing parallels between how we handled – and still handle – difficult situations with our parents and how we deal with those situations with our partner.
The bad news is that this feels just as lousy in our present relationship as it did in the relationship with our parents.
The good news is that in working to improve your relationship with your parents, you can experience a real healthy change with your partner, too.
This tough and rewarding work is part of a whole school of therapy called Family of Origin. When I was in graduate school, I had to go through all the exercises I would be asking patients to do, and I found it to be a very effective learning tool. I needed to experience the incredibly hard work and the surprising rewards that invariably accompany Family of Origin therapy. Once I went through it myself, I knew what I was asking of patients when I assigned them a behavioral intervention with their parents.
In Dana's case, we agreed that the next time she was on the receiving end of her mother's diatribe against her father, she would gently say, "You know, Mother, I love and respect both you and Dad so much. Just as I would feel really upset if someone criticized you to me, I feel the same way when I hear you talk about Dad. Let's talk about something more pleasant now, and I encourage both you and Dad to get professional help so that you can be as happy as you deserve to be."
Dana did this and the whole tone of her interactions with her mother changed for the better. The extra benefit — Dana found that speaking up for herself with her husband became infinitely easier and more productive.
Look for parallels in your interactions with your Family of Origin (parents, siblings, etc.) and your present family. Consider changing patterns that seem uncomfortable or unhealthy. And then watch how good changes with one set positively affect your interactions with the other.

Addressing the Top 5 Cloud Security Challenges
By Michelle Kimihira on Apr 22, 2013
As we talk to organizations around the world, it's clear that most consider "cloud" as the biggest opportunity today to reduce cost. To any organization, cloud offers numerous advantages – business agility, reduced operational costs, scalability, improved performance and more. With cloud deployments ranging from private to hybrid to public, the scale of benefits vary but so do the risks.
Going up the cloud continuum from on-premise to private to hybrid and then public cloud, IT's control and visibility into security policies decreases.
Private clouds give organizations greater control over security and data privacy, compliance, and also quality of service, since private clouds can manage network bandwidth and implement optimizations that public clouds don't allow. But much like your enterprise, risks arise from privileged access and insider threats. In the public cloud, policies are managed by an outside 3rd party which is the cloud service provider. A shared environment in the public cloud also causes security and compliance concerns. A hybrid cloud, by its very definition, encapsulates both the benefits and the risks of both the private and public clouds.
As we move through the spectrum, security policies get more and more fragmented as we duplicate policy data in multiple places. Consequently, latency also increases and risk increases exponentially. Add to that the compliance and governance issues and it is no wonder that Security continues to be the #1 barrier in cloud adoption. In fact, according to the "Private Cloud Vision vs. Reality", InformationWeek Report, 2012, 82% of organizations say security and data privacy concerns are one of the main reasons they are phasing out, or have decided to not use, public cloud.
So, where best to focus your efforts so as to leverage cloud without risking security? A recent CSO Online survey of Chief Security officers found that the top 5 security concerns for cloud were all related to mobile data access, regulatory compliance and managing access to the data and the applications i.e., Identity Management.
Organizations that move applications into the cloud have to bridge the gap between the enterprise and the cloud by providing standardized security framework around data security and application access. Take some time to watch this brief screencast and learn how you can manage security risks, address governance issues while unlocking the full potential of the cloud.

After cleaning up the mess and calming our cat, we approached the tree with cat safety in mind. We learned several valuable tips to help us enjoy our Christmas tree while keeping Jordan and my favorite ornaments safe from harm.
1. Anchor the tree. To help stabilize the tree and prevent tipping, place it on a wide, flat base. We nailed our tree to two wide pieces of wood placed in an X shape. You can also use a large piece of plywood. To further anchor the tree, attach it to the ceiling or walls with hooks and fishing line or wire. Consider leaving the tree bare for a few days, allowing your cat to become used to it before the decorations go on.
2. Cover the tree's water. While Jordan wasn't interested in the water that collects in the tree stand, many cats find it convenient and irresistible. Unfortunately, the water can cause illness or even prove fatal to your cat, as it can contain tree sap, bacteria or fertilizer. Any plant treated with chemicals can harm cats, says Elaine Wexler-Mitchell, DVM, in her book Ask the Vet About Cats. If possible, cover the water with a plastic or metal lid. Also, wrap a tree skirt, blanket or other fabric over the stand, and secure it with clips. This fabric will also help to cover any wood used to stabilize the tree.
3. Choose ornaments with care. Shiny glass ornaments will tempt your cats playful nature, but shards of glass from broken decorations can cut your pets paw pads and cause severe internal damage if ingested. If you must use breakable ornaments, place them near the top of the tree, saving less delicate decorations, such as those made of fabric, for the bottom branches. Consider tying ornaments to the tree with festive ribbon instead of wire ornament hooks. Such wire hooks can also cut paw pads and damage internal organs if swallowed.
4. Avoid tinsel and other foil garlands. Like sparkly ornaments, tinsel and icicles can entice your cat with its glittery shine. Jordan particularly liked to pull on tinsel draped over the lower branches of the tree. If ingested, tinsel and other garlands can cause a very serious condition an intestinal blockage. When a cat swallows a piece of string or other string-like item, it becomes what veterinarians call a linear foreign body.

There appears to be a new rivalry brewing. Two cross-town teams on a mission for the crown.
The Foothill League crown, that is.
When the football teams from Valencia and Canyon high schools take the field tonight in their league opener, the stars will be in alignment.
Except these stars aren't gigantic balls of hydrogen gas. Rather, they come in the form of two staunch linebackers.
Cowboys middle linebacker Nate Marroquin and the Vikings' Drew LaVoise have been at the core of their respective teams' defensive backfields.
With both squads' offensive weapons taking center stage every Friday night under the lights, these two players get their jobs done - minus the glory.
But being at the helm of the defense wasn't always the case for these two.
Marroquin did not play a single down last season for Canyon. However, this season, through hard work in the spring, the 5-foot-9 linebacker has been a force for the Cowboys.
"He is one of the hardest working players," said Canyon head coach Chris Varner. "He really maintains a positive attitude throughout practice and sets a good example for his teammates. He is a standout defensively because he really is a great field general. He understands what I want from the defense and can get his teammates to do it."
So far this season, Marroquin has accumulated 20 tackles along with two sacks and is on every one of Canyon's special teams. He said the biggest difference this year is that he realizes this will be his last chance to make an impression on the field.
"It's my senior year, and I don't want it to go to waste," he said. "It's my time to shine."
Marroquin wants more than anything to capture the league title in his last year wearing the Cowboys' No. 33 jersey.
Missing the playoffs last season is still fresh in Marroquin's mind. He said it's a significant factor in motivating the team to work hard.
"This season started last December, and we've been working to playoffs ever since," he said.
Marroquin also credits Canyon's sideline general for the team's success as well as his own.
"I look up to Varner because he motivates us," he said. "He tells us the truth and doesn't lie to us. He tells us what we have to do to win. He's straight forward, and I like that."
Overall, the biggest change in this season's team, according to Marroquin, is the camaraderie.
"We're all friends," he said. "We have to be able to motivate each other."
Valencia's LaVoise rallied back after offseason shoulder surgery to repair an injury he sustained in a 2007 matchup with West Ranch. He played through the pain and in February was on an operating table to repair a torn labrum.
LaVoise has accumulated 47 total tackles so far this season. Vikings head coach Larry Muir said the 185-pound linebacker is having a terrific year.
"He's had to overcome a lot to get where he is today," Muir said. "His experience, his work ethic and the fact he's such a great instinctual player makes him the leader of our defense."
And the 5-foot-10 senior is very comfortable in his role as a leader.
"I want to leave an impression for the younger guys to work hard and keep working to get better for next year," LaVoise said.
Muir said LaVoise makes all the calls for the Vikings defense, studies game film and is devoted to his craft.
"He's as prepared every week as any player we have had. He's a tremendous student, great character, all the qualities you look for in a leader."
LaVoise said he has a clearer view of the big picture and knows what he has to do to prepare for every game. He credits Muir with being his biggest motivator.
"Muir never lets us be satisfied," LaVoise said. "He pushes for perfection and for us to get better. He never backs down with the intensity. We want to play for him."
Even amongst a bevy of juniors leading the Vikings lineup, LaVoise said the team is well adept on the field.
"The work ethic has picked up," he said. "We have more talent at positions, and we're a good team. We just have to take it one game at a time and work hard every week."

A 3-year-old girl has died after falling off a pontoon boat at Elephant Butte Lake and being struck by the vessel's propeller.
The girl was struck by the propeller only a few feet from shore Sunday morning as she fell in the water in front of the boat.
Authorities don't believe alcohol was a factor in the accident, and no one had been charged Sunday in connection to her death.

Daily Journal
TUPELO – State elected leaders and government attorneys in Jackson intend to learn today if state law prohibits the city of Tupelo from providing additional financial compensation related to two city police officers shot after a December bank robbery, resulting in a death and a serious injury.
State Rep. Steve Holland of Plantersville said late Tuesday that he has advised legal staff to determine if any state law prevents Tupelo city leaders from contributing more support to meet expenses beyond worker's compensation related to the shootings. He also said staff with Attorney General Jim Hood's office also have begun assisting.
Tupelo Police Sgt. Gale Stauffer, 38, and patrol officer Joseph Maher, 27, were ambushed and shot on Dec. 23 by a bank robber stuck in traffic as a train passed at Crosstown. Stauffer died, and Maher spent eight days hospitalized for a gunshot wound to his head. He remains on leave as he recovers.
Holland said he and others in state government will work with Tupelo Mayor Jason Shelton and other city officials to determine the most appropriate action to help Stauffer's family and Maher and his family.
"We've got to get all of their minds together," said Holland. "If it does take a bill, they're going to get it."
Currently, the city's actions to assist the officers financially beyond worker's compensation and seeking outside support is limited to allowing city employees to donate leave time to Maher.
"I think it gives a good statement," said David Hamilton, TPD's chaplain.
The Office of the Attorney General has a Law Enforcement Officers and Fire Fighters Disability Benefits Trust Fund that can pay 34 percent of Maher's pay while recovering. Along with paying medical expenses and other costs, worker's compensation will pay two-thirds of the officer's salary until he returns.
However, Shelton and City Council members believe the city should offer more to assist Stauffer's widow and Maher.
Shelton, Tupelo city attorney Ben Logan and other city staff combed through state statues Tuesday and found concern related to the city's ability provide funds.
"Municipalities are prohibited from giving gifts to any individuals," Shelton said. "Unfortunately, even though the event was as tragic as it was, the city is prohibited from paying for officer Maher or any other officer anything."
Holland said he anticipates an answer today from state legal authorities.
"Basically, it would be nice if the city could through some other means make sure neither family has any type of financial worries as they go through everything else," Shelton said. "The city could provide a lump-sum payment now until the other benefits begin the officers will receive."
Councilman Markel Whittington of Ward 1 said the city contributing to bank accounts set up to assist families might be the right thing to do.
"If the state will allow us to do something over and beyond what we're doing, I'd be in favor of it," he said.
Whittington said the council should look into future policies related to other city employees injured or killed in the line of duty.
"Anytime we put our employees in harm's way, we need to compensate anytime we have a tragedy," he said.

London National Gallery: Cezanne in Britain
This year marks the centenary of the death of Paul Cezanne (1839-1906), one of the most influential artists of all time. After two popular exhibitions have delighted visitors in Washington and Aix-en-Provence, France, the National Gallery in London is also celebrating the life of the French painter with a retrospective of his works held in British collections. (Britain now boasts one of the world's most exquisite collections of Cezanne's works, and 40 of them have been selected for this exhibition, both from major institutions and private collections.) "Cezanne in Britain" includes paintings, watercolors, drawings and prints, and covers his wide range of subject matter: portraits, still lifes and landscapes. World-renowned paintings such as 'Bathers' and 'Mont Sainte-Victoire' (National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh) are shown alongside rarely seen works from private collections. Until January 7, 2007.

Your mood may be a jovial and jolly one today. You may feel amiable and excited about the prospect of spending time with others. Simple, lighthearted conversations could feel more joyful today, whether you choose to share your thoughts with new acquaintances or engage in loving discourse with the people you care about. Your upbeat disposition will likely be reinforced as your cheery expression brings smiles to the faces of everyone around you. You may discover that you even feel happier when you see how others are positively affected by your optimistic outlook and friendly attitude. Consider offering a joke, a listening ear, or a shoulder to cry on to anyone you encounter who is feeling particularly low today.
Sharing a good mood with others can make your cheerful frame of mind last and give you the satisfaction of knowing you have been a beacon of cheer. One of the fastest and easiest ways to put a smile on someone's face or make them laugh is to tell a joke or share a funny tale.

Uterine Fibroid Embolization & Uterine Artery Embolization
At Emory, we offer the option to treat uterine fibroids with fibroid embolization (UFE), also called uterine artery embolization (UAE), an alternative treatment to more invasive surgical options.
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that occur in the wall of the uterus. They may be as small as a pea or as large as a cantaloupe. Uterine fibroids are very common, but they can lead to problems such as irregular or prolonged menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain or pressure, lower back pain, constipation, frequent urination or painful intercourse.
Approximately 20% to 40% of women 20 years and older will develop one or more of these uterine fibroid tumors before reaching menopause. The risk is higher among African American women, 50% of whom will develop fibroids during their lifetimes.
Symptomatic uterine fibroids trigger approximately 150,000 hysterectomies each year. These account for one-third of all hysterectomies performed in the United States. Fibroid embolization can serve as an alternative to hysterectomy for some women.
In the past, treatment of fibroids has been limited to surgery, either hysterectomy or removal of the fibroid. Over the last several years, uterine fibroid embolization, also called uterine artery embolization, has emerged as a safe and highly effective treatment for uterine fibroids and an alternative to hysterectomy.
Uterine fibroid embolization uses the same non-surgical, minimally invasive techniques that interventional radiologists have been using for over 20 years to control pelvic bleeding. With thousands of UFE procedures having been successfully performed worldwide, UFE and uterine artery embolization is now widely accepted in Europe and across the U.S. as a successful alternative to surgery.
Advantages of this well-established and effective treatment for uterine fibroids include avoidance of major surgery, general anesthesia, and their associated risks. Rapid recovery and very low complication rate are well-documented.
Published data report a 78-94% clinical success rate with no further therapy required in most UFE patients. Even in cases where uterine fibroid embolization is not completely successful, it is helpful in reducing fibroid size, facilitating further treatment.
Our experience at Emory Healthcare has yielded outstanding clinical results. We are delighted to offer UFE as a safe alternative to hysterectomy and an effective, non-surgical and minimally invasive therapy to our patients with problematic uterine fibroids.
Uterine fibroid embolization is performed through a small puncture in an artery in the groin region. Contrast dye is injected to identify the blood vessels supplying the uterus and the uterine fibroids. Before embolization, the radiologist guides a wire and catheter into these vessels, and injects very small particles. These particles block the blood supply to the uterine fibroids, causing them to shrink over time.
Menstrual cramp-like pain can be expected after the uterine artery embolization procedure. One night of hospitalization is necessary so that intravenous medication can be given. By the following day, pain can usually be controlled with oral pain medications. Symptoms will gradually improve, with the ability to return to usual activity within about a week.
Follow-up includes a telephone consultation one to two days after the procedure and an in-office visit at one month and six months after the procedure. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is used to assess the size and shrinkage of the uterine fibroids. Usually, fibroids and the uterus shrink to approximately one half their size following UFE.

Don't think I can make it to Charlotte this weekend. Maybe I'll give outdoor marksman a try.

I order mine from Cabelas - $85/1000rds. I order snail-mail but I'm sure you could order on-line, or at least use the 800 #
Plus you get a neat plastic box with each 500 rds.
It used to be a surplus metal ammo box but now they are shipping the new waterproof plastic boxes which are larger.

www.ammoman.com His prices include shipping, but you might be able to get a better deal from somebody near you-shipping will be less.

I've always had good luck with this site:

Try www.sportsmansguide.com . If you join their Buyer's Club, the per case price is somewhere around $63 plus shipping. The Buyer's Club costs $30 per year. However, if you cancel your membership within a year, they'll refund the $30 minus the amount you saved on their normal prices.

It seems I have a problem; someone has to be home to sign for the package since there is an age restriction on it. No one is home at my place during the day. Any easy way around this?
A case of Wolf is $140 locally, and I would really like to stop paying that much if possible.

I've ordered ammo online from both Cheaper Than Dirt and Natchez Shooters Supply, and neither required a signature - their 'age validation' was part of the online order process.

I think you can send Dan a copy of your D.L. and then they will waive adult signature. Dan has good deals on barnaul ammo and its better than wolf.

Kirk Barron came to Purdue's lineman camp last Saturday just to compete with a friend. Then, he never could have envisioned becoming a Boilermaker commit a few days later.
During that first camp, Barron, then committed to Ohio, caught the coaches' eyes and nearly left West Lafayette with an offer. He returned to Mishawaka with a new feeling about Purdue.
"I started getting more of an open mind, and I thought, 'why not,'" Barron said. "It's such a great school, it's close to home, my family is around here."
Throughout the week, Barron called Purdue assistants John Shoop and Jafar Williams, and his interest continued to grow. He decided to participate in Purdue'S Friday night Elite Camp.
"They just wanted to get an eval of me, and I wanted to come back and see them again," said Barron.
It all paid off. Coach Darrell Hazell was watching Barron's workout closely, and pulled him aside after the camp concluded to extend a scholarship offer. There was one thing to do before saying "Yes" to the offer; he had to call Ohio head coach Frank Solich.
The flip to Purdue had some awkwardness to it, as a member of the Ohio coaching staff served as a volunteer coach at Friday's camp. Barron still feels strongly about the Ohio program but couldn't say no to Purdue.
"Ohio University is a great program, great school, I love everything about it or I wouldn't have committed," Barron said. "I'd say this is a better opportunity for me and my family. I had to take it."
After accepting the offer, Barron and his mother began to tear up. Shortly after, John Shoop leaped into his arms. Barron was welcomed by the rest of the Purdue coaching staff and several players.
Barron, who will play center at Purdue, then practiced snapping the football to quarterback prospect David Blough, one of the Boilermakers' top prospects who may be close to committing.
Purdue now has three pledges to its 2013 class. Barron joins receivers Trae Hart and Gregory Phillips. He's thrilled to be a part of the program that just kept growing on him.
"It feels good," said Barron. "It's an in-state Big Ten school and I get to represent Indiana."
