Signature-based DNS security extensions have given hackers a way to scope out information on networks before they begin a direct attack. This paper looks at methods for mitigating this risk while still using DNSSEC to augment Internet security.
The Domain Name System is the global lookup service for network resources. To protect DNS information, the DNS security extensions have been developed and deployed on branches of the DNS to provide authentication and integrity protection using digital signatures. However, signed DNS nodes were found to have an unfortunate side effect: An attacker can query them as reconnaissance before attacking hosts on a particular network.
There are different ways a zone administrator can minimize information leakage and still take advantage of DNSSEC for integrity and source authentication. This article from the National Institute of Standards and Technology describes the risk and examines the protocol and operational options and looks at their advantages and drawbacks.

Christian pro basketball league might place franchise in Erie

According to David Stewart Jr., CEO of the Height Athletics family of Christian businesses, league play will get under way in November.
Stewart said the league's teams would attempt to maximize their potential through the use of social media, community outreach, public relations and strategic marketing programs.
"We will focus on expanding the reach of our staff and athletes and make an impact in every community we are in," Stewart said in a statement.
The Erie Angels will be one of more than a dozen Pennsylvania-based teams in the new venture. Other teams will be based in York, Allentown, Scranton, Johnstown, Altoona, Philadelphia, State College and McKeesport, among other communities.
The league also plans to have a presence in New Jersey, Maryland, Washington, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

What Moors murderer Ian Brady teaches us about human nature
Theodore Dalrymple is a retired prison-doctor and psychiatrist. When Moors murderer Ian Brady wrote a book The Gates of Janus: Serial Killing and its Analysis, by the "Moors Murderer" Dalrymple was invited to review it for The Sunday Telegraph. The title of the review was 'Inside the mind of a moral monster' and in it Dalrymple offers an insight into what 'moral monsters' reveal about human nature:
'I have noticed in the prison in which I work that the more conscienceless the prisoner with regard to his victims, the more prickly he is about wrongs he believes to have been done to him, however slight or trivial they might be. A man who won't hesitate to stab a complete stranger if he feels like it, will call down anathema on the world if his tabacco ration arrives but 10 minutes late.
And if it were not for the fact that Brady came to his conclusions by torture and killing rather than by reading Derrida and Foucault, he could have found a post in any contemporary university department of literature: 'Legalities, moralities and ethics are simply questions of geography, passing modes of fashion and taste, shaped and dictated by the prevailing ruling class of whatever country one happens to be in at a certain time.'
It is sometimes said that a psychopath is someone with no moral sense. This is not quite accurate. Even as thoroughgoing a psychopath as Brady sometimes lets slip an almost normal moral judgement that threatens to undermine his stance as a man of iron realism, amoralism and relativism.
Neither is it true that psychopaths such as Brady are unable to think in moral categories. Indeed, his denunciation of almost everyone around him pollutes with such moral categories as corruption and hypocrisy. He presents himself as the only honest man he knows.'
As the Apostle Paul writes in the book of Romans chapter 2:
You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else…you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed.
For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them).
How Primark and the 'moral abyss' fulfilled the second commandment
The Bible contains surprising verses, even offensive verses, passages of the Bible that seem to be at odds with our understanding of the way the world should work and God behave.
Exodus 20:5 is one such verse;
I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me.
If you're a Christian you probably, like me, find a verse like that a little unsettling. What can such a verse mean?
1. It can't mean that God actually punishes innocent people for the sins of an earlier generation. After all Deuteronomy 24:16 makes clear that 'Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their fathers.'
2. Rather through this verse God warns Israel that as Stuart comments;
'God will indeed punish generation after generation if they keep doing the same sorts of sins that prior generations did. If the children continue to do the sins their parents did, they will receive the same punishments as their parents.'
Ryken notes that;
'God never condemns the innocent only the guilty. Here it is important to notice something that is often overlooked — namely, how the threat ends. God says that he will punish three or four generations "of those who hate me" (Exod. 20:5). The children hate God as much as their fathers did (which, given the way they were raised, is not surprising).'
And here is his sobering conclusion
'As parents plan for the future, they should be more concerned about the second commandment than they are about their financial portfolio. This commandment contains a solemn warning for fathers. When a man refuses to love God passionately and to worship God properly, the consequences of his sin will last for generations.
The guilt of a man who treasures idols in his heart will corrupt his entire family, and in the end they will all be punished.'
The second commandment in action
And then in the news today we find something that seems in every way to be a fulfilment of this warning in our own times. Dr Helen Wright, President of the Girls' School Association, in a speech to be given tomorrow warns that the consequences of parents not knowing right from wrong are falling on their children.
She comments;
'I have a deep worry that some parents have been so deprived in their own lives of education and values, that they no longer know right from wrong and that they are as a result unwittingly 'indulging' children in some parallel universe where it is acceptable to let young children wear make-up and provocative clothing.
"If parents can't see anything wrong in dressing up their children in 'Future WAG' T-shirts and letting them wear make-up, high heels and 'mini-me' sexy clothing, then something is intensely wrong in our society.'
Cecil B. De Mille the director of the Hollywood blockbuster, The Ten Commandments, described the folly of ignoring God's 10 commandments in this way – he said 'It is impossible for us to break laws; we only break ourselves upon them.'
Steve jobs and 'his selfish society of iii'. How our iPhones are damaging society.
Today's Telegraph contains a report on a speech given by the Chief Rabbi. Speaking at an interfaith reception, Lord Sacks argued that Steve Jobs has helped create a culture of unhappiness.
'If you haven't got a fourth generation iPhone, the consumer society is in fact the most efficient mechanism ever devised for the creation and distribution of unhappiness.'
Since joining the world of twitter and blogging I have to say I have been a little surprised at just how many posts and tweets by church pastors and planters have obsessed with the latest iGadget. Maybe the Chief Rabbi has something to teach us all.

Joan Bakewell on why the sexual revolution was a mistake
"I never thought I would hear myself say as much, but I'm with Mrs Whitehouse on this one. The liberal mood back in the 60s was that sex was pleasurable and wholesome and shouldn't be seen as dirty and wicked. The Pill allowed women to make choices for themselves. Of course, that meant the risk of making the wrong choice. But we all hoped girls would grow to handle the new freedoms wisely. Then everything came to be about money: so now sex is about money, too. Why else sexualise the clothes of little girls, run TV channels of naked wives, have sex magazines edging out the serious stuff on newsagents' shelves? It's money that's corrupted us and women are being used and are even collaborating
What have the likes of Rowan Atkinson and Ricky Gervais got in common? Fraser Nelson thinks he knows
Fraser Nelson in last weeks Spectator magazine takes issue with the condescending tone of Rowan Atkinson;
Rowan Atkinson, the comedian and actor, this week denounced many of the clerics he has met as being 'smug', 'arrogant', 'conceited', and 'presumptuous about their position in society'. He shows no mercy to the clergy, and shows no doubts whatsoever about his right to judge the church.
There are smug priests, of course, just as their are smug architects, smug engineers, smug police officers, smug politicians and, whisper it, smug comedians. No member of the priesthood, for instance, would sit behind the wheel of a sports car valued at £2 million, still less prang it, as Mr Atkinson did last month, No 'clerk in holy orders', as vicars used to call themselves, would attempt to raze a perfectly good house in Oxfordshire to the ground, and build in its stead a monstrous glass and steel edifice, as Mr Atkinson wants to do, in defiance of the wishes of local people. Some fuddy-duddies might consider this sort of behaviour to be arrogant. His unhappy neighbours might even suggest that Atkinson himself was a touch presumptuous about his own place in society. Perhaps Mr Atkinson is above hypocrisy.
Modern comedians have become a secular priesthood. They have their own customs and rituals, and their own language, which is not always friendly. There is a strict hierarchy among TV comics, and at the top of the profession, an untouchable, cabal, far grander and more self-important than any circle of bishops.
Many comedians like Atkinson are rich beyond their dreams. Most real priests, by contrast, live humbly, and dedicate their ministry to the lives of others without expectation of reward. If Rowan Atkinson is keen to continue his new vocation as a lay preacher, he would do well to learn from their example.

Comprehensive DescriptionRead full entry
Hemisus guttatus females can reach 80 mm (Channing, 2003), or 3 inches; the males can reach up to 2 inches (Wager, 1965). This frog has a globular body with a small pointed head and pointed snout, and tiny eyes (Channing, 2003). It is dark purple or brown, with numerous yellow dots on the dorsum (Channing, 2003). The snout is hardened and flattened, with the mouth on the underside (Wager, 1965) and is used for burrowing head-first, as the common name of Spotted Snout-Burrower suggests (Channing, 2003). The arms and fingers are strong and muscular (Channing, 2003). Fingers bear strong claws, like those of a mole (Wager, 1965). Toes are not webbed and the skin is smooth (Channing, 2003). Each heel bears a small, keratinized ridge on the inner surface, facilitating burrowing (Wager, 1965). The inner metatarsal tubercle is not as long as the second toe (Channing, 2003). The male does not appear to have a vocal sac, but in males the throat is dark-colored (Wager, 1965).
The tadpole of Hemisus guttatus reaches 62 mm in length, with a body of 21 mm and tail of 41 mm (Wager, 1965). It is brown to olive-brown in color, with gray under the chin and a white belly (Wager, 1965). The tail is broad with a distinctive cream stripe on either side (Rose, 1950). The first third to half of the tail has a thickened sheath (Channing, 2003), looking almost as though the tail has been broken off and regenerated there; in this thickened section, the center portion horizontally is enlarged and darkened (Wager, 1965). When the tadpole reaches 25 mm in length, the posterior half of the tail and fins darkens to black. The jaws are keratinized, with 2 complete and 4 divided rows of denticles above the jaws and three complete rows below the jaws, and a tooth formula of 6(3-6)/3. The mouth has 3 to 4 rows of small papillae at the sides, plus 2 rows of papillae below, and an additional 6 larger papillae below. The head rapidly changes to being pointed when the front legs are formed (Wager, 1965).
The specific name "guttatus" refers to the spotting on this species (Channing, 2003).

Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante. Photo by Tom Casino/EliteXC.
Rising EliteXC light heavyweight contender Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante will face the biggest test of his young career thus far when he takes on Canadian veteran Travis Galbraith at the organization's upcoming "Unfinished Business" show in Stockton, California on July 26th.
The promotion officially announced the bout during a conference call with the media earlier today.
Cavalcante, who has gone 6-1 since starting his professional career just two years ago, most recently earned an impressive stoppage of Wayne Cole at EliteXC's "Return of the King" event last month in Hawaii. His lone career loss came at the hands of skilled grappler Marcio Cruz at an IFL show last June.
Galbraith, a veteran of PRIDE Fighting Championships, is currently riding a two-fight winning streak. After avenging a prior loss to Nick Hinchliffe inside the confines of King of the Cage, Galbraith went on to submit Martin Desilets, a training partner of current UFC lightweight Jonathan Goulet, at Raw Combat's most recent event three weeks ago.
The fight between the two will air on the Showtime portion of the card, a one-hour special which will precede the promotion's return to network television on CBS later that night. The event features a total of three championship bouts. Robbie Lawler and Scott Smith will square off in a main event rematch for EliteXC's middleweight title.
The female bout between Shayna Baszler of Sioux Falls, S.D. and Brazil's Cristiane Cyborg has been added to the lineup for the second primetime broadcast of CBS EliteXC Saturday Night Fights, live from the Stockton Arena in Stockton, Calif. on Saturday, July 26 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
Baszler and Cyborg, who are fighting in the 140 pound weight class, complete the primetime matchups for the CBS EliteXC Saturday Night Fights on July 26. Other CBS fights include:

The King's return was a good one.
Fighting in his home state of Hawaii for the first time under the Elite Xtreme Combat banner, K.J. Noons successfully defended his EliteXC lightweight title for the first time, scoring a quick and brutal first-round stoppage of longtime veteran Yves Edwards in the main event of Saturday night's "Return of the King" event.
Noons and Edwards wasted no time, quickly meeting in the center of the cage to exchange punches right from the opening bell. Although Edwards stunned Noons at one point, the fast-paced exchange on the feet suddenly came to a halt when Noons caught Edwards with a short right hand that sat him down on the canvas. Noons pounced on Edwards and unleashed a furious barrage of unanswered punches and elbows that forced referee Mario Yamasaki to step in and save Edwards.
"Yves caught me, rocked me," Noons said after the fight. "But once I knocked him down I knew I had to go in and finish it.''
Noons post-fight celebration was marred by the entrance of Nick Diaz, still suited up in fight gear from his bout against Muhsin Corbbrey earlier in the night, along with his younger brother and current UFC lightweight Nate Diaz, into the cage. In an attempt to hype a potential rematch between the two, the younger Diaz opted to exchange words with Noons' father, Karl Sr.
The words soon escalated to threats and before long the elder Noons and the Diaz brothers grabbed one another, forcing ringside officials, color commentator Bill Goldberg, and everyone else in the cage to jump in and prevent an all-out brawl. The Diaz brothers quickly jolted from the cage, holding their trademark middle fingers high in the air while walking backstage.

Seth Petruzelli weighs-in for Shamrock vs Ortiz III: The Final Chapter. Photo property of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
It turns out that former Ultimate Fighter contestant Seth Petruzelli will not take on undefeated heavyweight prospect Dave Herman at EliteXC: Street Certified on February 16th at the United Bank Arena in Miami, Florida.
According to MMA Junkie, Petruzelli will no longer be part of the bout and has been replaced by American Top Team's Mario Rinaldi. No word yet as to the reason why Petruzelli was forced out of the bout, injury or otherwise.
The fight will be the EliteXC debut for both fighters at an event which also features a main event between internet street fighting legend Kimbo Slice and former UFC brawler Tank Abbott.
Rinaldi, who weighs-in as a super heavyweight at 280 lbs, has racked up a professional record of 6-2 so far in his young mixed martial arts career. Four of those wins have come by way of submission. His last fight was a submission win over Jason Dolloff at an Extreme Fighting International in October.
Herman, who has not suffered the taste of defeat thus far in his career, has finished every one of his opponent via strikes or submission. His last fight was a win over Justin Kahn at a Maximum Combat show in December where he submitted Kahn with a rear naked choke.
An additional bout that has been added to the event features Rafael Feijao and John Doyle clashing in a light heavyweight fight according to ProElite.com.

The many accolades recently bestowed on Judge J. Waties Waring are richly deserved. There is not one other leader in Charleston or South Carolina history who so ardently and publicly defied the prevailing dedication of his people to segregation and racial discrimination. If anything, the statue dedicated in his honor should stand even taller.
Still, Waring's judicial reputation for support of civil rights is not without at least one blemish. On the same July day in 1947 that he rejected the South Carolina Democratic Party's attempt to maintain all-white primary elections, Waring permitted the State of South Carolina to expand segregation in higher education.
Charleston resident John Wrighten applied for admission to the University of South Carolina Law School in 1947. Wrighten was an Army-Air Force veteran. He also happened to be black and a graduate of Avery Institute.
With the support of the NAACP and its chief legal counsel, Thurgood Marshall, Wrighten sued the University of South Carolina Board of Trustees for admission to the USC law school after he had been rejected solely because of his color. The case was heard in Judge Waring's Columbia courtroom June 5-6, 1947. One of the observers in the courtroom was a young man from Columbia named Matthew J. Perry. Marshall's case did not hinge directly on segregation because South Carolina did not provide separate law schools for black and white Carolinians.
Miller F. Whittaker, the president of the South Carolina State, the state's only public black college, testified that South Carolina afforded its black citizens no opportunity in the state to gain a legal education. State officials, in the meantime, pledged that they would finance and erect a new and separate law school for Negroes in Orangeburg at South Carolina State, thereby avoiding the possibility that black people would sully the halls of the University's Law School.
An incredulous Marshall pointedly asked Whittaker if a law school could be established at S.C. State in less than two months "that would be the full and complete equal of the law school at the University of South Carolina?" Whittaker replied, "No, I don't think so."
But instead of ordering Wrighten's admission to the USC law school, Waring ruled - based on a precedent established in a Missouri case in 1938 - that the State of South Carolina could establish a separate law school for Negroes as long as it was "equipped, fitted, and ready for the giving of instruction on a complete parity with the University Law School."
If South Carolina failed to establish the black law school, then Wrighten would have to be admitted to the USC Law School or legal education in South Carolina would be abolished for both races.
In a matter of weeks a new law school, with a dean, three faculty members (including the state's first African American woman attorney), and a small law library were in operation on the S. C. State campus. But Marshall was bitterly disappointed at the creation of the new "separate but equal" law school, characterizing it as a "Jim Crow dump in South Carolina." He advised John Wrighten not to enroll. But nine students did enroll that fall. In the ensuing two decades of its existence, the S.C. State Law School graduated 50 men and one woman, but it hardly prospered. With declining enrollments and inadequate funding, it closed in 1966. It was not fully accredited by the American Bar Association, primarily because of low faculty salaries. The law school never came close to achieving the "complete parity" with the university's law school that Waring had mandated in his decision.
And yet that law school so disparaged by Thurgood Marshall produced a cadre of black attorneys who proceeded to use their knowledge of the law to attack segregation in South Carolina. At least 12 of the 27 attorneys who graduated from the S. C. State Law School and practiced in South Carolina were involved in civil rights litigation. Matthew J. Perry handled at least 93 civil rights cases and Ernest Finney took on no less than twenty.
Both men went on to become renowned jurists. Perry served as a federal judge from 1979 until his death in 2011. The federal courthouse in Columbia was named in his honor in 2005. Ernest Finney served as S.C. chief justice from 1994-2000. John Wrighten, despite Marshall's advice, graduated from that law school in 1952 and took part in at least four civil rights cases.
It is therefore a superb irony that the segregated law school that Judge Waring was instrumental in creating graduated lawyers who were largely responsible for ending segregation in South Carolina. It's a legacy worth remembering.
William C. Hine taught history at S.C. State University for many years. His history of the university is scheduled to be published by the University of South Carolina Press.

Men's Final Four preview
No. 7 Connecticut (30-8) vs. No. 1 Florida (36-2)
- TV: 6:09 p.m. TBS
- Offense: Connecticut has averaged 76.8 points per game in the tournament, up nearly five points from the regular season. The Huskies are known for Shabazz Napier's heart-stopping play, but they have other star power in DeAndre Daniels and Ryan Boatright. Florida is a balanced team, averaging 71 points per game. An epic point guard showdown between Napier and Scottie Wilbekin will take center stage. Edge: Connecticut.
- Defense: The Gators limit opponents to only 57.6 points per game. They rank in the top 50 in rebounding percentage, while beating opponents on the boards by more than five per game. The Huskies aren't a great rebounding team, which should create more second-chance opportunities for Florida. Edge: Florida.
- Coaching: Connecticut coach Kevin Ollie, a former NBA player, is the new kid on the block. Just two years on the job as head coach, this is new territory for him. Florida coach Billy Donovan is the veteran. He won back-to-back titles with the Gators in 2006 and 2007. Edge: Florida.
- Intangibles: The Gators are experienced and have leadership. They're motivated after falling short the past two seasons in the Elite Eight and will make the most of this Final Four trip. Don't forget Florida has some revenge on its mind as well, hoping to pay back Connecticut for its one-point loss to the Huskies in December. Edge: Florida.
- Players to watch: Connecticut: Napier, 6-foot 1-inch senior point guard. He's averaging 23.3 points in the tournament, drawing comparisons to former Huskies star Kemba Walker for his clutch shooting. Florida: Wilbekin, 6-foot 2-inch senior point guard. The SEC player of the year ranks second on the team at 13.4 points per game, along with 3.7 assists per game.
No. 8 Kentucky (28-10) vs. No. 2 Wisconsin (30-7)
- TV: 8:49 p.m. TBS
- Offense: Kentucky's athleticism is hard to match at every position. Guard Aaron Harrison has been clutch on 3-pointers in the tournament. The Wildcats' post players get easy baskets inside. The Badgers benefit from a proven offensive system that stresses discipline but is more adaptable this season. Wisconsin averages more points (73.5) this season than in any other under coach Bo Ryan. Edge: Kentucky.
- Defense: In the tournament, the Badgers have limited opponents to 37.8 percent shooting and 56.8 points per game. Despite their size, the Wildcats will have a tough time guarding 7-footer Frank Kaminsky, who moves well and has a soft shooting touch. The (probable) loss of Kentucky 7-footer Willie Cauley-Stein to injury won't help matters. Edge: Wisconsin.
- Coaching: Until this year, Ryan was one of the best coaches never to reach the Final Four. He's well-respected, but this is John Calipari's territory. The Kentucky coach is making his sixth trip to the Final Four, working to repeat the 2012 championship. He has been able to mold freshmen into champions before. Edge: Kentucky.
- Intangibles: The Wildcats' confidence is at a season high after proving doubters wrong by advancing as a No. 8 seed. They also are battle-tested with victories over a talented ninth-seeded Kansas State team, top-seeded Wichita State, defending tournament champion Louisville, and Michigan, last season's runner-up. Kentucky has staged comebacks in each of its tournament victories. Edge: Kentucky.
- Players to watch: Kentucky: Julius Randle, 6-foot 9-inch freshman forward. With a double-double in every tournament game and 24 on the season, Randle is a near-impossible load to contain. He averages 15.1 points and 10.7 rebounds per game. Wisconsin: Kaminsky, 7-foot junior forward. He took over the Elite Eight game to beat top-seeded Arizona in overtime. He's averaging 22 points in his past three tournament games.

One of Italy's most exquisite landscapes is the enchanting Lake District, beloved by poets, writers, and artists since the days of the Roman Empire. Our journey in this unimaginably scenic setting brings us to verdant mountains sheltering gleaming deep blue lakes, captivating towns like Varenna spilling down the hillsides, and to Bellagio's opulent villas and gardens with rose-laden promenades. We explore four of these magical lakes—Como, Lugano, Maggiore, and serene Orta—as we hike age-old paths to hidden stone villages with tiny chapels, boat to Isola Bella, an island with a magnificent palatial villa (with an overnight at neighboring Isola dei Pescatori), and hike high above the lakes for unforgettable top-of-the-world views of the Alps—é perfezione!
This was a great vacation. Just what the doctor ordered. Technically it was a hiking vacation but it really was an eating vacation—fantastic!
— Mary R., New York, NY
Days 1-2
Varenna / Bellagio
In Varenna, a beguiling town of pastel-colored houses hugging the shores of Lake Como, we explore the medieval Castle of Vezio, once a Roman fortress, and the lovely gardens of the Villa Monastero, a spiritual retreat for Cistercian nuns. The next day, we hike up Monte San Primo (5,528') to a mountain rifugio for spectacular lake views and a lunch of local delicacies that often include miascia, a cake made with fresh mint and walnuts.
Days 3-4
Bellagio / Villa Balbianello / Lago di Piano
Ferrying across Lake Como, we visit Bellagio, a storybook town of gracious villas and terraced gardens. After lunch and a wine tasting in San Giovanni, we explore the Villa Balbianello, with its exquisite gardens, views, and fascinating collections. At Lago di Piano, we walk in a natural reserve abounding with birds, plants, and animals including roe deer and chamois.
Days 5-6
San Salvatore / Luino
Our hike on San Salvatore reveals fantastic views of the Swiss and Savoy Alps. From Luino, on Lake Maggiore, we enjoy a hike to the tiny medieval walled village of Carmine Superiore.
Days 7-9
Isola Bella and Isola dei Pescatori / Orta San Giulio
We visit the splendid Villa Borromeo on Isola Bella, and walk the cobbled alleys and seaside promenade of Isola dei Pescatori. From Orta San Giulio, a jewel of a town set on tranquil Lake Orta, we hike on an ancient footpath through hill villages on the slopes of Monte Alto, passing farmhouses, a 13th century tower, and the impressive Villa Broglio, with a picnic lunch in the gardens of the 17th century convent of Monte Mesma. Depart on Day 9.

Join us in celebrating National Seniors Day.
The Museum of Vancouver is proud to pay tribute to the seniors who have helped build our city and country, and continue to make valuable contributions to our community and society. National Seniors Day, which coincides with the United Nations International Day of Older Persons, is an occasion for Canadians to celebrate and appreciate seniors.
All day on October 1, Seniors can enjoy a reduced admission to the Museum of Vancouver. $5.00 gets you in to see our history galleries and our current feature exhibition: ALL together NOW.
We'll also be serving FREE coffee and cookies free from 10am - 1pm!
Fun facts:
- Today, one in seven Canadians is aged 65 or over. By 2036, nearly one in four Canadians will be a senior.
- In 2011, Canadians lived an average of 81.7 years, an increase of almost 25 years since 1921.
- Although seniors volunteer at a lower rate than the population as a whole, those seniors who do volunteer give many more hours on average than other age groups.

CenterWatch, February 2008
During the past few years, use of EDC in clinical trials has grown as sponsor companies have moved from pilot EDC implementations to enterprise-wide adoption strategies. Health Industry Insights predicts that investments in EDC solutions will increase at a 14.7% compound annual growth rate and total more than $3.1 billion for 2006 to 2011. Chris Connor, a senior research analyst at Health Industry Insights, said last year was a "tipping point" for EDC as the adoption rate nearly doubled from 24% in 2005 to 45% by the end of 2007.
Connor estimates that today nearly half of all new clinical trials are initiated using EDC. "Today we're on the verge of an explosive growth for EDC and we expect the industry will never be the same," Connor said. CenterWatch survey results from investigative sites corroborate this surge in EDC adoption rates. While only 16% of sites were required to use EDC by 2000, that number has grown rapidly since 2004, when some 70% of sites were using EDC systems. In addition, the CenterWatch survey shows that 99% of sites are using EDC in at least one of their trials, while 73% of sites use EDC for at least one-fourth of their trials. In addition, 36% of sites use EDC for at least one-half of their trials. And 2% of sites reported that they no longer even collect any data for case report forms on paper.
While survey respondents have experience with various types of EDC, 32% of sites have used Internet-based EDC, which sends data online to a central server. Another 29% have experience with interactive voice response systems (IVRS), which use the telephone as a means of inputting data. Other electronic data collection methods used at sites include patient diaries (23%) and faxes (12%).

Why I Trust God with My Heart and Even in My Mess!
I look around at my life and I think there is no way out. Things seem hopeless and I get down. I look at my own abilities and I compare my strength against my problems and I shake my head knowing there is no way I can win. But when I get like this I stop and think: I don't want to give up – I want to move forward – I want to be healthy, I want to reach my goals, I yearn for joy, peace and love. And I remember although I can't – HE CAN.

Want some inside dish on the Monday, Feb. 22 "Women Tell All" episode of "The Bachelor?"
Jake Pavelka tells "Extra's" Terri Seymour, "Ali was my frontrunner. I basically begged her not to go. I did want her to come [back], she left me, Terri. There were three women who didn't. Who would I have sent home?"
Interesting. But one has to wonder … if he liked Ali so much, why didn't he have her come to St. Lucia when she called him begging for another chance? He could've still sent both her and Gia packing at the end.
Perhaps because this is all a marketing campaign for Ali to be the next Bachelorette?
Meanwhile, eliminated contestant Gia Allemand also spoke with "Extra's" Terri Seymour. "I think Tenley's probably like the obvious choice, but when you see him with Vienna, you just melt. The minute I didn't get a rose, I was like, I knew it."

Here is the man regarded as the symbol of 70s feel-good rock. Peter Frampton, whose assured but mellow guitar solos were complemented by a spaniel-like shag of curls and a boyishly sunny stage presence, spent a dizzying 10 weeks at No. 1 with a two-disc concert album, Frampton Comes Alive. It eventually sold 15 million copies worldwide. But after 1977's I'm in You, Frampton's career went into eclipse. The British rocker blames promotional overkill. "It's the nature of the beast," says Frampton, 43, who now lives in L.A. And it probably wasn't a good idea to costar with the Bee Gees in that saccharine 1978 movie disaster Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. But Frampton, a seasoned performer who played with the Herd and Humble Pie before going solo in 1971, still tours, still records. His recently released album, Peter Frampton, "is without a doubt the best record I've made since the 70s," he says. So far it's not performing like Alive. "You never know why something hits like that," says Frampton. "If you did, you'd be bottling and selling it. But if I have to talk about Alive the rest of my life, it's not such a bad thing to talk about."
