Risk management
The Federation Against Software Theft and the British Standards Institution have launched a standard for software compliance to help businesses steer clear of illegal software and the resulting risk of prosecution and fines.
Your exclusive guide to CIO trends
A collection of our most popular articles for IT leaders from the first few months of 2016, including: - Corporate giants recruit digitally-minded outsiders to drive transformation - Analytics platforms to drive strategy in 2016 - Next generation: The changing role of IT leaders.

The FSSC-1:2004 compliance standard was drawn up by Fast with input from Abbey Bank, Axa, the BBC, Grant Thornton and Oracle, following compliance work with 4,500 companies.
The standard consists of four main disciplines:
- establishing policies and procedures for the use of all software
- carrying out a full enterprise-wide electronic audit of all systems
- reconciling the audit of software holdings against licences or other proof of the right to use software
- on-going management to ensure licence discipline is continuously maintained.
Mike Low, BSI director of British standards, said, "While many businesses are using illegal software unknowingly, in the eyes of the law ignorance is no excuse.
"In addition many companies are wasting millions because they are actually paying for licences they don't need. This new standard delivers something to both software vendors and users."
Launching the standard, Fast claimed that almost half of all UK companies ran the risk of being taken to court for their use of unlicensed software.

In addition to the sol–gel method, the directed self-assembly approach, using layer-by-layer deposition techniques, was also introduced to improve the crystallinity. The relaxation processes in Er ions were discussed to clarify the contribution of the energy transfer and cooperative upconversion. After optimization of the Er content, a Si photonic crystal slot waveguide amplifier was fabricated, and a modal gain was demonstrated. This achievement demonstrates the potential for compact and high optical gain devices on Si chips.

Posted on 05/03/2013 1:18:37 PM PDT by RummyChick
Female DNA on Boston Bomb NOT from Tsarnaev Widow (Has hospitalized Female Saudi been ruled out yet?) By Shoebat Foundation on May 3, 2013 in Blog, General
Ok, so neither the fingerprints nor the female DNA found on one of the Boston marathon bombs belong to Katherine Russell-Tsarnaev, the wife of Tamerlan Tsarnaev.
With this news, wed like to ask one simple question: Has the female Saudi national who was injured in the blast been ruled out as a suspect? Has her DNA been tested?
There were two Saudi nationals hospitalized after the bombings Abdulrahman Ali Al-Harbi and a female doctor named Nura Khalid Saleh al-Ajjaji.
Its already been reported that Al-Harbi received a 212 3B terrorist designation, so what of al-Ajjaji? Does she know Al-Harbi? If so, how well?
Heres the CBS report on Katherine Tsarnaev being ruled out as a source of the DNA / fingerprints:
So, was this a bomb at the blast site, or one found in their home?
It could be from one of the Tsarnaev boys. Nothing surprises me when you're dealing with Muzzies.
LOLOLOL...great one.
It could even have been a store clerk where they bought the cookers.
" Investigators have identified female DNA on a fragment of one of the bombs used in Boston. It's not clear what that means — the DNA could have come from an injured spectator, or perhaps from a clerk who sold the materials used in the bombs, according to law enforcement sources. But, there's also a chance, it could lead the FBI to a female accomplice. "
Dollars to doughnuts the DNA is from a Chinese lady working at the pressure cooker factory in China.
For those that keep saying the wife couldn't have known...well I suppose it is possible.
Honey, what are you doing with those pressure cookers.
And he beats her down for daring to ask him a question
" "What they found in the apartment was black powder and parts, but not the work bench you would need to have to make these bombs. They are still looking for that another place."
..maybe from the pressure cooker and IDE's the islamic terrorists had on them in their stolen cars.
The lid come off the pressure cooker at the shootout, making it a dud?
So my question is, how is the female DNA on bomb piece(s) significant? Obviously if it is a fingerprint on fragments from each bomb that is significant because no innocent bystander would have handled bomb parts several blocks apart but I didn't know DNA could be obtained from a fingerprint.
Two controllers without self-control? I think even CIA training would have had them in Los Angeles. I like to know if Miss Nura was wearing head covering.
There are currently 81 people using the name "Harbi" in either Canada or the USA. Odds are really good one of them is called Mo, or Omar, or Abe ~ and I mean really, really good.
There is technology to get DNA from fingerprints. I don't know if it has been developed enough to use.
The fact is that the wife could have bought the pressure cooker but STILL not be an accomplice.
It could be they are thinking someone was injured while testing the device or putting it together.
Maybe this is just thrown out there to see what scatters once it hits the media.
Anyone know the story on
Nura Khalid Saleh al-Ajjaji
Where does she work? Live?
Right now what you get in a search is that Michelle visited her in the hospital.
Believe what you want about these bombs, they are actually pretty easy to put together. I was nearly killed by a similar device in a post office. One Mormon in Provo in a dispute with another Mormon over a woman and he built your basic shotgun shell/nail bomb and sent it through the mail. It didn't completely work ~ so here I and others are today ~
The big deal with a pressure cooker is the additional time alloted to the black powder to burn ~ that provides even more pressure ~ and hence, a small firework launcher becomes a fairly powerful bomb.
All of this reminds me of an old friend who used to work for a chemical company manufacturing high explosives on site ~ for mining down in Chile. One day the union told the company to do so and so and the army told the company to do something else. He left on the first plane out! We didn't have the internet in those days, but he said all the materials on bombmaking were all pretty much true ~ but be careful with the fusing.
Remember the way the boys walked in that FBI pastiche of cellphone pictures? They were avoiding exposure to the sensor on the triggering device until they'd set the bombs. They didn't want to get blown up.
This wasn't a suicide bombing job ~ probably a commercial venture ~ which means we don't really know who is behind it yet.
Okay. Thanks. I hope they aren't looking for an innocent bystander or first responder that just happened to touch a piece of the bomb.
If you just search

Has anyone seen a picture of the Doctor?

There is a woman in one of the aftermath photos wearing one and running
Noura al-Ajaji underwent a third surgery yesterday to repair and beautify the thigh area, just above the knee, treat skin damage caused by shrapnel, and remove fragments. This was the third round of the treatment plan for al-Ajaji; the first phase focused on sterilizing the wounds, and the second focused on healing the gash caused by glass shrapnel. Medical reports issued by the hospital yesterday confirmed the complete integrity of her knee and thigh.
Al-Ajaji, who is a masters student in cosmetic dentistry, was injured by flying glass fragments from the nearby Colby glasses store, which she was nearby during the Boston Marathon bombings, resulting in an 11 centimeter gash in the thigh area.
Cosmetic dentistry????

Uncle Ruslans former father in law - CIA operative Graham Fuller is accredited with saying this
"The policy of guiding the evolution of Islam and of helping them against our adversaries worked marvelously well in Afghanistan against the Red Army. The same doctrines can still be used to destabilize what remains of Russian power, and especially to counter the Chinese influence in Central Asia."
Did he say it?
Don't know yet.
""The policy of guiding the evolution of Islam and of helping them against our adversaries worked marvelously well in Afghanistan against the Red Army," explains a former CIA analyst. "The same doctrines can still be used to destabilize what remains of Russian power, and especially to counter Chinese influence in Central Asia." In a certain sense, the Cold War is still going on. For years Graham Fuller, former Deputy Director of the National Council on Intelligence at the CIA, has been talking up the "modernizing virtues" of the Islamists, insisting on their anti-Statist concept of the economy. Listening to him, you would almost take the Taleban and their Wahhabi allies for liberals. "Islam, in theory at least, is firmly anchored in the traditions of free trade and private enterprise," wrote Fuller. "The prophet was a trader, as was his first wife. Islam does not glorify the State's role in the economy.
Richard Labévière, Dollars for Terror: The United States and Islam, New York: Algora Publishing, 2000, p. 6
The effect is actually multiplicative: the pressure build-up actually makes the chemical reaction go faster, which in turn intensifies the pressure build-up. So, it all happens really fast.
The pressure cooker bombs probably scared the dickens out of the anti-gun geeks. You could see it in their eyes. Feinstein was undoubtedly saying to herself "What can they do with a sewing machine".
When they first detained the 2, now charged, Kazack men they also detained an unnamed female person. Who was eventually sent off in a consular vehicle of an unnamed foreign country. The two were initially detained awhile, released and then redetained several hours later and I'm uncertain whether consular vehicle came the first or the second time. IIRC one of the reports actually mentioned two unnamed females with the Kazacks. If the female DNA is from anyone we've heard of to date my money, now that the wife is cleared of it, is on the Kazacks' female associate(s). Who may or may not still be in the country.
That makes the most sense to me so far. It is probably from some female factory worker.
Wow. Thanks again.

Cognitive Perceptions in Anorexia Shift with Body PositionMay 11, 2013 • By A GoodTherapy.org News Summary
In the research on anorexia nervosa (AN) and other eating and food issues, various risk factors have been studied. Researchers have looked at what increases the likelihood of AN, how people with AN see themselves, and how they process their own emotions and thoughts.
In recent years, neurocognitive exploration has revealed various impairments that exist in different types of psychological issues. But the study of such impairments in AN is lacking. Therefore, Dewi Guardia of the Laboratory of Neuroscience Function and Pathology at the University of Lille North of France recently led a study that looked at how spatial processing differed in a sample of 25 women with AN compared to 25 control subjects with no history of AN.
AN is marked by distorted body image and body associations and these distortions have been linked to functions associated with the parietal cortex (PC) region of the brain. This area directly impacts spatial processing for visual and tactile cues. Guardia decided to subject his samples to visual and tactile spatial processing tests while they were sitting upright and again while they were reclined, to see if body position influenced the spatial processing of those with AN. The results revealed that the women with AN performed slightly worse than controls on the tests when they were sitting up; however, their results were far worse when lying down. This finding suggests that women with AN may have a deficit of spatial awareness in certain positions. Additionally, the gravitational pull for average-sized women is stronger than for lighter women, which could indicate another spatial processing deficit.
In sum, Guardia believes that these results show that women with body image issues may actually view themselves differently than others because of a decrease in spatial processing ability. This impairment has a direct impact on introspective awareness, body sensations like hunger, and body perception. Taken together, this deficit puts women with AN at risk for perpetuating their negative eating behaviors. Further, these cognitive differences extend to social situations in which women with AN may be especially vulnerable. Guardia added, "A better understanding of the social difficulties encountered by patients would enable the development of more appropriate cognitive remediation therapies."

surprised to see body position can change spatial processing.but it does show the impairment in spatial processing is highly flawed because not only has it changed from normal but also depends on body position.i hope this is at least something that could help someone with AN see how their perception has changed.could be a sort of self diagnosis!
JudeMay 13th, 2013 at 3:56 AM
I found this very interesting, because I have always thought that anorexia and other eating disorders could be cured if only the patient would submit to therapy and change their behaviors and relationships with food. This shows that for many who struggle with this issue, there are many other factors involved, many different things that can lead to their symptoms either getting better or worse, and none of those things fit into the box of what I always thought that the resolution would come from. I am always impressed when scientists come up with something completely new, different from what we may have otherwise been familiar with. That shows that the boundaries in many areas are being stretched in a good way, and that the struggles of so many are not being forgotten.

I appreciate the fact that we are looking at long existing mental health problems from different perspectives to possibly find the "missing piece" that could one day help develop the ultimate therapy.
gwenMay 14th, 2013 at 12:14 AM
perception changes yes.but these people, most of whom are women, tend to judge themselves critically and yet continue to view others with an enhanced view,praising others while further degrading themselves.how does this shift in their own and others' view differ even with the same condition?is it not something in the mind than an impaired ability (which would give same results no matter who it is)?

If you're an act with a large following, being booked in a tent can be a blessing and a curse. For the Diplo-driven Major Lazer, thousands of fans were crammed into the relatively small space while twice as many fans lingered outside, hoping to find an opportunity to push their way into the party. The party itself included non-stop bass, naughty dancers, a shirtless Diplo, and snippets of Nirvava's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and House of Pain's "Jump Around." No one even noticed that the rumored Snoop Lion appearance never came to fruition. Party on, Coachella.

In IBM Watson's early days, the cognitive computer was a whiz at words. It was designed to ingest vast amounts of documents and Web pages, understand words and their context, and answer free-form questions from people–offering up responses ranked by its confidence in their accuracy.
These days, we're adding a wide variety of other types of data to Watson's repertoire, perhaps most significantly, images–including photos, medical images and videos. Simply put, we're teaching Watson to "see."
A watershed moment in our effort to expand Watson's visual capabilities comes today: we've announced our intention of acquiring Merge Healthcare Incorporated, a leading provider of medical image handling and processing systems. It addresses radiology, cardiology, orthopedics eye care and other medical fields. The planned acquisition is subject to regulatory review and Merge shareholder approval and is anticipated to close later this year.
After the deal closes, we'll begin to bring Watson imaging technologies to Merge's portfolio of products so medical professionals have the opportunity to get help from Watson when analyzing X-rays, angiograms, electrocardiograms and other images to spot anomalies and identify treatment options.
The new capabilities are aimed at enabling medical researchers and clinicians to better understand diseases and to help them design therapies that address the needs of individual patients. We also expect it to bolster doctors' and researchers' ability to run cohort analytics using Watson, gaining insights from patients with similar issues.
It's all part of our core vision for IBM Watson Health. We provide cognitive computing technologies that generate insights drawn from medical data at a massive scale. Our purpose is to enable medical professionals and patients everywhere to make better-informed decisions, which can lead to better health outcomes. The goal is nothing less than to transform the way healthcare is practiced and life science research is conducted.
The acquisition of Merge is particularly gratifying to me because of my professional background. I got my PhD at Columbia University in multimedia content analysis and retrieval–with a focus on cardiology images. Since then, I have worked on a variety of image analytics projects at IBM Research and led our effort to develop a research strategy for drawing insights from electronic medical records.
By bringing Merge into the Watson family, we aim to meld one of the most significant forms of electronic medical data–images–into the electronic medical record using one of the most powerful new analytics technologies: cognitive computing. Medical images are used by clinicians for a wide variety of diagnoses and health-monitoring scenarios, so our work has the potential to touch many people's lives.
Since IBM Watson Health was announced four months ago, we have acquired two companies and forged alliances aimed in part at providing people using Watson with access to a tremendous amount and variety of valuable data. For instance, Explorys, which we acquired in April, has a database containing the de-identified records of millions of patients. Through our alliance with Apple, users of Watson will be able to tap into data collected via Apple's HealthKit and ResearchKit applications for gathering and sharing medical, health and lifestyle information–with the owners' permission, of course.
These sources of health and medical information along with data streams coming from a host of new mobile fitness and health monitoring devices, start to provide medical professionals and others with a 360-degree view of the health of the people on the planet.
The implications are huge. With this wealth of different kinds of medical, behavioral and social data, we can create detailed computer models that aid researchers and medical professionals in their effort to understand the causes of disease, so they can diagnose them accurately, to help predict their courses, and to help clinicians develop personalized treatment plans. The aim: better outcomes for individuals and more cost-efficient use of healthcare dollars.
To achieve these goals, it's essential for individuals, organizations and professionals across the healthcare continuum to share data and insights. That's why we are building Watson Health Cloud. This data-sharing and application-development platform allows IBM clients and partners to safely and securely pool de-identified data from genomic and electronic medical records, clinical trials, and health-monitoring devices, and combine it with socio-economic and demographic information.
Watson Health Cloud promotes open innovation. IBM, business partners and healthcare organizations will be able to build products and services that combine access to a wide variety of data with Watson's cognitive analytics capabilities.
This is the wave of the future. We're beginning to tap into the collective memory of the healthcare system and mine it for insights. Digital images–combined with the ability to interpret them using computers–will be an essential piece of this new world-transforming capability. Ultimately, every other domain, profession and industry will follow the same path.

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2014-01-08/WikiProject report
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WikiProject report
Jumping into the television universe
This week, we spent some time with WikiProject Television. The project began in September 2003 and grew to include nearly 78,000 pages, including 290 pieces of Featured material and almost 1,900 Good Articles. We interviewed Gen. Quon and TonyTheTiger.
- What motivated you to join WikiProject Television? Have you focused on a particular genre or on a specific television series? Do you contribute to articles about the technical aspects of television or the history of the medium?
- Gen. Quon: When I started to actively edit Wikipedia, I found myself largely editing articles about my favorite bands and TV shows. For almost four years, that trend has continued, and most of my recent edits are exclusively towards TV-related articles. I first got involved via The X-Files project, where I helped several other editors improve and promote articles to good and featured status. I'm happy to say that since I've started, we as a team managed to promote every single episode of the series to good article or beyond! I've also reviewed a few articles, although in my opinion, reviewing isn't my strongest point (but I help out when needed). I've really focused my attention on three series: The X-Files, The Office, and Adventure Time.
- TonyTheTiger: I don't really think of myself as a member of the project because my most significant contributions are things where I don't really see eye-to-eye with many project members. I have done a lot of work on templates for TV and film awards as well as media franchises. I am also active in identifying important episodes and seasons for project to do lists. I mostly review and edit American drama shows. I am not a technical writer. Most of my time on the project talk page is spent fighting about whether historical critically acclaimed television series should have season articles split from series list articles and whether award templates should be partitioned. I have become more active in the project since I began writing television scripts a little more than 3 years ago.
- Have you played a role in promoting any of the project's nearly 300 pieces of Featured content or the over 1,800 Good Articles? Are there any extremely active editors or subprojects that have been contributing to this wealth of Featured and Good material?
- TonyTheTiger: I have reviewed a lot of WP:GACs for the project. Many of these have been promoted (Grey's Anatomy, 24, Sesame Street, Adrian Monk, "Commissions and Fees", Chris Sheridan (writer) and Great Reality TV Swindle) and many have not (Boardwalk Empire, Breaking Bad, Lost, Bewitched, Jeopardy!, "Pilot" (Lost), Mad Men (season 1), and Desperate Housewives (season 2)). I have created some significant content, the most notable of which are GAs for the first Primetime Emmy Awarded webisode, "Chapter 1" (House of Cards), and "Hill Street Station" (only TV episode to sweep Best Director Primetime Emmy Award and DGA as well as Best Writer Primetime Emmy Award and WGA). Other GAs include "A House Divided" (Dallas), "Hearts and Souls", "Pilot" (The Cosby Show), "Pilot" (Devious Maids), Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, "Zou Bisou Bisou", Carly Foulkes, "Million Dollar Challenge" (poker), Red Tail Reborn, and Rose Catherine Pinkney. I should also note that I have created articles for four fictional characters that were nominated for both the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards and the 71st Golden Globe Awards. However, only Selina Meyer is a current GA; Frank Underwood (House of Cards) is a current GAC nominees, and two are yet to be nominated (Claire Underwood and Olivia Pope). Pope may be nominated soon. I also think House of Cards (season 2) may find its way to GAC when reviews are available to fill in the plot and critical commentary. I hope to achieve my first featured article for this project in 2014. Gen. Quon is among the most active editors in the project.
- Gen. Quon: Most if not all of my edits have been towards page that I think could either be promoted to good or featured article status, or towards articles that I hope to actively promote. Since I've started working on Wikipedia, I have promoted over 225 articles to good article status (most of which are TV articles), and I have helped promote 8 articles to featured article status. I have also contributed to a featured list, and several good article topics. People who are extremely active in the project (and subprojects) include Grapple X (The X-Files, Twin Peaks), Glimmer721 (Doctor Who, The X-Files), Ruby2010 (Fringe, The X-Files), and NoD'ohnuts (The Office) among many others. (I'm sure I missed a few!)
- Is it difficult to find images for television articles? What are the limitations for using non-free images in articles about television programs? What are alternative ways of illustrating articles without using screen captures from the television program?
- TonyTheTiger: Television articles are difficult to find free images for. We have images for many actors and can often use them to give a somewhat representative illustration. Also, in some cases promotional posters are suitable illustration.
- Gen. Quon: I distinctly remember going through 'wars' about whether or not certain screenshots from episodes fulfilled Wikipedia's fair use rationales. Screenshots from some series are easier to justify (The X-Files, with its special effects, jumps to mind) whereas others aren't (Most screenshots from The Office can be explained in words alone). To 'fix' this issue, we usually use free images to describe important parts of the articles. For instance, Grapple X used an image of foie gras to illustrate a plot point in the "Squeeze" (The X-Files) featured article. As TonyTheTiger mentioned, we also make heavy use of free images of actors, writers, directors, etc.
- Have you had any contact with the dozens of regional, genre, or series specific projects and task forces under the scope of WikiProject Television? Do the subprojects keep to themselves or do they cooperate? Are there any untapped opportunities to collaborate that should be explored?
- Gen. Quon: I actively participate in both The X-Files and The Office projects and task forces. I've noticed that, while some editors in the different task forces may not have an interest in another area, they will be willing to at least help out if they can. For instance, I recently nominated List of Adventure Time episodes for featured list, and several editors who are not active Adventure Time editors (but are TV editors) helped me out by pointing out suggestions.
- Are some genres, time periods, or geographic regions better covered than others by Wikipedia's television articles? What can be done to improve neglected television topics?
- TonyTheTiger: I monitor the most important American Television Episodes for creation and Seasons for creation. Although I continue to be surprised that season articles do not exist for "Downton Abbey" and "Girls", the vast majority of new and expanded content is needed for shows over 20 years old. I think I have identified the most important content in these areas in need of attention. There is also contentious discussion on whether many other existant season articles should exist when they are redundant with series episode list articles. Expanding important season articles so that they contain content that is not redundant with series episode list articles is difficult for many older series, but if one has the patience and diligence to find sources for this content it would help a much neglected area of the project, IMO.
- Gen. Quon: I agree with TonyTheTiger; I've noticed that newer shows often receive much more attention that older shows, although I think this makes sense since people will inevitably be drawn towards shows that are currently airing and therefore actively entertaining them.
Next week, we'll look for solutions to social problems. Until then, find your way through the archive.

On February 11th Capcom announced at X10 that Dead Rising 2's release date is August 31st in North America with Japanese and European release dates to follow shortly after. Capcom also revealed that Xbox 360 gamers will see exclusive downloadable content, titled Dead Rising: FIRST CASE, which bridges the gap between the first and second games.
In this follow-up to 2006's Dead Rising, the game takes place a few years later and the zombie parasite that originated in Santa Cabeza has spread all over the United States. This time you're Chuck Greene, former national motocross champion who somehow finds himself caught in the middle of the zombie apocalypse in Fortune City (modeled after Las Vegas). Just like Frank West (Dead Rising 1), Chuck must survive through every zombie horde he gets into as well as psychopaths and rescue survivors. Among the survivors is Chuck's own daughter, which serves as his primary motivation for battling the undead.
Producer Keiji Inafune takes it one step further by saying in an interview that part of Chuck's quest will include forced participate in the violent game show, "Terror is Reality"
Here's the latest bit of gameplay shown at X10. It looks great, but he ain't no Frank West. As one of the YouTube comments said: "Frank would rape this guy with a lawnmower".
We shall see …

I cannot say enough good things about the work that Trevor's Treasures does for kids battling cancer. Trevor Blake is an inspirational boy who is a hero to the kids at the hospitals he visits. He openly talks about the difficulties of cancer and how very matter of factly he and all kids will beat it. He is so mature and truly loves bringing hope and smiles to the other kids battling this horrible disease through the gifts and "treasure boxes" that are a staple to the organization. The treasure boxes that rest on the nurses stations on the oncology floor motivate the kids to get out of bed and do laps for prizes from the box. His visits always bring smiles to the children, staff and parents/families, and the charity often provides food over holidays such as Thanksgiving Dinners. Trevors Treasures is a wonderful charity and organization and is one that I will always support and will encourage others to do so as well. Thank you Trevor and the Blake Family!

Fairfax Inova Childrens Hospital - After my 5 year old sons surgery to remove his kidney, he was very weak and in a lot of pain. One day, we opened the door of his room and there was the green Trevors Treasures box sitting on the nurses station. When my son asked what it was and learned all he had to do was 1 lap and he could get a prize, he immediately wanted to get out of bed. While it took him awhile to complete 1 lap - he did it and was so excited to get to pick his prize.

BERGEN COUNTY - The Governor's Council on Drug and Alcohol Abuse released a new study showing an alarming and rising rate of heroin use in New Jersey.
Experts say the addiction usually starts with prescription pain killers and then a transition to heroin because it's cheaper and easier to get.
Bergen County saw 28 heroin-related deaths last year, according to the report. So far this year, there have been 13.
READ MORE: New Jersey Crime Stories
"Heroin is just spiraling out of control here in New Jersey," says Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli.
Molinelli says New Jersey's strict liability law allows him to charge anyone who gives drugs to a person who overdoses, and that doesn't just mean urban drug dealers. "It gives fair warning to individuals that provide a drug to another," he says.
The prosecutor is making a promise to Bergen County parents. If they find heroin in their child's possession, they can turn them into authorities. The child won't be arrested, but will instead be referred to treatment programs.
Treatment and parental awareness are big keys, according to Ellen Elias, who runs the Center for Alcohol and Drug Resources in Hackensack.
"People need to know where they can find help if they need it," Elias says. "Parents need to listen to their inner voice that tells them something is going on at home. Something is not right with their child. And begin to pay attention to it."
Everyone should pay attention to their medicine cabinets, experts say, by properly discarding unused medications at designated waste sites.

"Loved this simple quick bread. It had a good taste & the nuts really added a lot to it. I used butter shortening, melted, but did the rest the same. A nice quick bread to make now & then. I think next time, I may add a little ground cinnamon for some added flavor. Thanks for a good recipe."

The International Polarity Education Alliance was created in 2010. This initiative grew out of the ongoing discussion and debate on the Polarity Council Group that was formed in 2000. This is a group of over 30 Polarity Educators from the USA, Canada and Europe who regularly explore all aspects of the future of Polarity.
The Inaugural Gathering for the Polarity Education Alliance was held from November 12-14 2010. To read a full report and to access our audio and photo gallery click here.
Graduates of Polarity Trainings worldwide, can click here to join our organisation as a Polarity Therapy Professional (PTP). The Alliance offers graduates of any Polarity educational process the opportunity to use the initials EPP (Energy Principles Practitioner) or PTP as appropriate. It also offers Energy Student status to anyone engaged in a Polarity education process.
The International Polarity Education Alliance offers a public listing of allied trainings worldwide with a focus on "Polarity Education," in its broadest meaning. Any Polarity Therapy training or educational programme that uses Polarity principles can join.
The trainings and courses featured on this website range from courses on Polarity Principles applied to personal growth to full trainings in the therapeutic system of Polarity Therapy to practitioner level as set out by the founder of the system Dr Randolph Stone DO DC ND.
Another successful IPEA Gathering, this time in the lovely countryside of Oxfordshire. England.
It was lovely to meet with members from Norway, Sweden, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, Thailand, England, Ireland and Wales.
After the opening welcome it was interesting to hear how Polarity was faring in the countries present and how some people are working with Polarity is various different ways. An afternoon visit to nearby Blenheim Palace, the home of the Churchill family, was cut short a little with the arrival of Elton John who was giving a concert there that evening, but we got to look around this opulent building and the grounds were stunning with landscaping by Capability Brown.
Thanks go to the organisers of the Gathering and to the presenters and to everyone who came and contributed in their own unique way to the whole event.
The feeling at the end of the Gathering was overwhelmingly one of family, a sentiment that is at the heart of the IPEA ethos.

hi there
my paypal is verifiied (got the 4 digits to my bank account)
but still, as i approach the finish line of posting an item for sale on ebay,
it says:
"To have this restriction lifted, you need to become PayPal Verified* and then link your verified PayPal account to your eBay account. Once you've completed this process, you'll be able to sell on any eBay site worldwide"...
well... it is verified...
am i doing something wrong?
on 05-13-2013 10:16 PM
The message said...
"then link your verified PayPal account to your eBay account."
Have you done that yet.? B-)
It doesn't seem that you have. I would...
Try to guide you, however it's been too long ago...;\
Maybe this will help.:
Good luck.! ;-)
Does this make any sense.?
on 05-13-2013 10:30 PM
thank you
i got paypal verified
it was just a glitch. it just needed a few minutes to adjust
good day
on 05-13-2013 10:37 PM
Oops posted too late.
Glad it's working! :-)
on 05-13-2013 10:36 PM
Hmmmm. How long ago was your Paypal account verified? If it was just today or the same day you tried to list on eBay, then you might have to wait 24-48 hours for it to process.
Also, you stated that the Paypal account is verified but did you then link it to your eBay account? I believe it's a separate step. The link posted above by recyclit123 gives step by step instructions.
If it doesn't work after completing those steps then call eBay customer support as it may be a bug in the system.

Video of the Day: Anthony Hopkins in clip from 'The Rite'
I admit I was a skeptic. No, not about whether exorcisms are real or not, but about whether "The Rite" would be any good. I expected yet another sub-par rehash of Friedkin's "The Excorcist" with the pea soup vomit and all the fixin's. What the film turned out to be, at least for me, was a reserved observation of what happens when religion, faith and mental health collide.
The film focuses Michael Kovak (Colin O'Donoghue) a skeptical young psychology major and doubting priest in training who is sent to a Vatican endorsed 'Exorcism school' in Rome, where he meets Father Lucas (Hopkins) a practicing Exorcist. Lucas' down to earth and matter-of-fact treatment of the subject as well as the seemingly impossible things he sees leads to Kovak to re-consider his hard-line disbelief.
I was fortunate to interview Anthony Hopkins about the film and will have that interview up soon, but among other things he revealed that while working on his character, he asked the director, Mikael Hafstrom, if he could write a few lines of dialog for himself. The result was this speech he gives Michael in this clip. It is the admission that even as a full time exorcist, he also has crises of faith, but that he always comes out of them. Sure it's foreshadowing, but I also think it's a nice observation about faith itself and well put. And so it is the Video of the Day.
"The Rite" Possesses theaters January 28th, 2011

June 17, 2011 marked the 25th anniversary of the Boston Celtics drafting University of Maryland All-American Len Bias, No. 2 overall in the 1986 NBA Draft.
And June 19 will mark the 25th anniversary of Bias' sudden death from cardiac arrhythmia stemming from a cocaine overdose suffered just 40 hours after being drafted.
For those who remember Bias as one of the greatest college basketball players of all-time, the empty feeling left by his untimely death remains fresh, even a quarter of a century later.
In memory of Bias, 25 years after the tragedy that rocked not only the basketball world but the nation, Bleacher Report looks back on Bias' seven best moments at College Park.

Free Beer & Hot Wings – Worst Assassin Ever
Not that there should be a title for "best assassin ever", but still...
Not that there should be a title for "best assassin ever", but still...
A Jets fan went way over the line after Sunday's game by sending quarterback Mark Sanchez death threats via Twitter.
These two fine young gentleman were disputing the merits of Chevy vs Dodge. Clearly the only way to settle the debate was with the timeless tradition of "truck tug-of-war". (NSFW language).
Here's a tip: if your friend is winding up to do a high-kick, stand back and give him some room.
I'm totally trying this in my backyard.
This time it's from Baltimore. A female bus driver knocks around a high school student, and of course it's caught on camera.
Next time you decide to be a jerk on the road, keep in mind that the other person might be an even bigger jerk than you.
Is this the biggest punch you've ever seen outside of a boxing ring? (NSFW, language)
Step 1 - strap a camera to a sea lion. Step 2 - sit back and watch nature happen.
I wish I could've been there to see this in person. This guy totally had it coming.
Last night during Monday Night Raw live from Canada, WWE announcer and former wrestler Jerry "The King" lawler suffered a heart attack during the live broadcast while he was calling a match. The match continued while EMT's attended to Lawler.
