Rally Towel Reyes
Man, what an exciting game last night against the Padres. If only it had ended in a win! Still, it could be a productive loss–the team continues to fight.
But for now, a moment of rally Reyes revelry. After scoring the tying run in the 9th, Jose Reyes had a bit of fun with Ruben Gotay:
I'll say I'm very glad Delgado didn't strike out after Trevor Hoffman intentionally walked Beltran. I will take a walk from a batter in a slump. Come on, Carlos D. Get comfortable again. We need you.
Finally, I'll leave you with this adorable Little Mazz bobblehead, given out earlier this week at Keyspan Park in Coney Island. The "L" on Little Lee Mazzilli's batting helmet stands for Lincoln High School, his alma mater. Shout out here to my mom and grandma–also Lincoln High graduates. Mom grew up across the street from her and Mazz's high school. Go Lincoln, and go Brooklyn!

What is there to say except LOVE Jose Jose Jose Jose?
Mazz, too.
I think it would be great for the fans to start a chant every time Jose gets on base…GO…GO…GO…GO Maybe he doesn't know how excited the fans get when he is running and it also might help him get to 100 steals for the year.

This law is historic. The bipartisan spirit of change is unprecedented. It is a new era in education.
Democrats and Republicans united under the President's leadership to declare that success in schools will be measured by --whether every child is learning.
- No country has ever made the bold commitment that every boy and every girl will learn and excel-regardless of race, family-background, or income.
Spending more money does not guarantee success. We must use our resources more wisely.
Since 1966, the federal government has spent $321 billion (in today's dollars) to help educate disadvantaged children.
- Federal discretionary spending on education has more than doubled since 1996.
Despite increased spending:
- Less than one-third of our fourth graders read proficiently.
- Reading performance has not improved in more than 15 years.
- Less than 20 percent of our nation's 12th graders score proficiently in math.
- And, among the industrialized nations of the world, our 12th graders rank near the bottom in science and math.
No Child Left Behind holds schools accountable. All states must implement statewide accountability systems, which will:
- set academic standards in each content area for what students should know and be able to do,
- gather specific, objective data through tests aligned with those standards,
- use test data to identify strengths and weaknesses in the system,
- report school academic achievement to parents and communities,
- empower parents to take action based on school information,
- recognize schools that make real progress, and
- direct changes in schools that need help.
It gives state and local officials the flexibility to find local solutions to local problems.
Encourages using federal money to solve local problems, not to subsidize bureaucracy.
Principals and administrators will spend less time filling out forms and dealing with federal red tape. They will have more time to spend focusing on student achievement.
President Bush is confident that if educators use the best materials, scientifically-proven instructional methods, and textbooks aligned with state standards, students can succeed.
Under No Child Left Behind, the federal government will invest in educational practices that work-that research evidence has shown to be effective in improving student performance.
No Child Left Behind gives every parent the information, options and freedom to get help for their sons and daughters trapped in schools in need of improvement.
- Parents of children in schools in need of improvement will have the choice to direct district funds toward transportation costs to a better public school or toward supplemental services (tutoring or after-school programs) for their children.
When Congress united to support No Child Left Behind -- Democrats and Republicans combined record spending with a commitment to reform and results.


text: I have a similar question to the "I am not a Juice Box" mummy. My 4 month old baby boy doesn't necessarily play, but his new habit is to push HARD with his little fists against my breast and at the same time pull away while he sucks. Like I am a balloon or something! He will usually eventually settle down and nurse contentedly, but I'm not sure what to do while he's nursing AGGRESSIVELY. It is a bit painful after a while. I have tried relocating his fist, and also gently pulling him towards me to lessen the yanking away. Any other tips? This is my first experience nursing as my other children are all adopted so any help is greatly appreciated. I LOVE being able to feed my baby!!

Per OpenTable, Palm Beach's Buccan a dining "hot spot"
- 5:56 pm Tuesday, April 2nd, 2013 by Robert Janjigian
OpenTable, the popular online restaurant reservation network, recently released the list of the top 100 dining establishments in the country for 2013.
Among the select group of "hot spots" identified is Buccan, the contemporary-style restaurant at 350 S. County Road in Palm Beach.
It's the only restaurant in town to make the cut.
It isn't too surprising that Buccan is on the list, as the place has been packing them in every night since its debut in 2011.
Reservations are pretty hard to come by, especially on weekends and at prime dining hours most evenings.
And then there is Chef Clay Conley's acclaimed menu of internationally influenced dishes served in a manner to [More]

CCM (Clews Competition Machines) was founded in 1971 out of the collapse of BSA's competition department. Alan Clews, founder of CCM, was a successful trials and scrambles rider in the late 1960s. He wanted a lighter, more nimble and modern motocross bike, like the BSA factory-engined 500cc works specials. When the BSA competition department went out of business, Clews saw his opportunity and purchased all the works parts and started building motocross bikes in his garage. As the BSA works parts ran out, he started developing his own parts, and his reputation as a builder of motocross bikes grew.
When Cycle World tested the 1973 CCM 600MX, they said, "The CCM is the most powerful motocross four-stroke single we have ever tested! With a bore of 90mm and a stroke of 95mm, the torque is almost too much for the average rider. The quality of the nickel-plated frame is on par with the Rickman's, and with a dry weight of 230 pounds, it is lighter than many of the open two-strokes!"
Note: Dan White of White Brothers fame purchased Cycle World's CCM in 1974.The pictured example is a brand-new, never-ridden 1976 CCM 600MX with a four-speed transmission. The triple clamps, fork sliders, hubs, backing plates and engine covers are manufactured out of cast magnesium. In 1976, with Brits Vic Allan, John Banks and Vic Eastwood riding for them, CCM finished second, fourth and fifth in the British Motocross Championships. Vic Allan even finished third in the Grand Prix of Finland and Luxembourg.
After ceasing operations in 2004, CCM is back in business and has even tried to field GP and British National race team over recent years.
CCMs were the most expensive bikes of their time at $4000, which was almost double any other European brand. MXA's featured bike, owned by the Early Years of Motocross Museum, is valued at $20,000.
In 1976, customers could purchase a CCM with a 500cc or 600cc four-speed engine, or a 635cc model with a three-speed transmission. All machines were for motocross only.
Look for lots of magnesium and a beautiful nickel frame. Tanks were either fiberglass or aluminum, and the fenders were by Preston Petty. The footpegs were bolted directly to the engine covers.
Contact www.joemaxwell-engineering.com for a wide selection of available parts, including frame kits, rolling chassis and gas tanks.

Sanders to introduce bill to break up mega-banks
BURLINGTON – U.S. Sen. Bernard Sanders said Wednesday he will introduce legislation to break up the nation's mega-banks.
Sanders said the banks have grown so big that the Justice Department has refused to pursue prosecutions for fear an indictment would harm the financial system.
According to Sanders' office, the 10 largest banks in the country are bigger now than before a taxpayer bailout following the 2008 financial meltdown.
Over Sanders' objection, Congress approved a $700 billion rescue because of concerns that the financial institutions were too big to fail. Another $16 trillion from the Federal Reserve propped up financial institutions.
Sanders said that Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. now says the Justice Department may not pursue criminal cases against the big banks because filing charges could "have a negative impact on the national economy, perhaps even the world economy."
"In other words," Sanders said, "we have a situation now where Wall Street banks are not only too big to fail, they are too big to jail. That is unacceptable and that has got to change because America is based on a system of law and justice."
He said the banks have become so big that the six largest institutions - J.P. Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley - have assets today of nearly $9.6 trillion, a figure equal to about two-thirds of the nation's gross domestic product.
In addition, Sanders said the six financial institutions issue more than two-thirds of all credit cards, over half of all mortgages, control 95 percent of all derivatives held in financial institutions and hold more than 40 percent of all bank deposits in the United States.
Sanders' legislation would give Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew 90 days to compile a list of commercial banks, investment banks, hedge funds and insurance companies that he deems too big to fail.
Within a year after the legislation became law, the Treasury Department would be required to break up those banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions identified by the secretary.
"If an institution is too big to fail, it is too big to exist," Sanders said.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

I am new to this and not sure how it works. I would like some reassurance re breastfeeding my premature baby. She was born 11 weeks premature re pre-eclampsia and is 11 weeks old tomorrow. She left the hospital 3 weeks ago at 4lb 1oz and is now 4lb 8oz. while she is putting on weight I am concerned that it is at a really slow rate. I
really don't want to move to bottle feeding but must admit it is tempting when i hear of babies that were in the unit with my daughter that are bottle fed and are now 5lb 9oz. I'm concerned therefore that she is not getting enough. She feeds from me every 3 - 4 hours, normally for around 20 minutes. Last night she took only 10 minutes and fell fast asleep. I try to reassure myself that her nappies are good and she wouldn't go to sleep if she was hungry but just can't shake the feeling that she should be putting on more weight. Can anyone please advise if i should stick with it or am I doing more harm than good by continuing to breast feed her with such a small weight gain? (I really am passionate about the benefits of bf and don't want to stop but don't want to detriment my baby.) x

Should anyone other than you control your personal health information in electronic health systems? Across the board, Americans resoundingly say "NO."
Patient Privacy Rights worked with Zogby International to conduct an online survey of over 2000 adults to identify their views on privacy, access to health information, and health information technology (health IT). The results were overwhelmingly in favor of individual choice and control over personal health information.

Healthcare IT News: Poll: Huge majorities want control over health info
Forbes: Americans Want to Control Their Health Information
Fierce Health IT: Majority of Americans want personal control of health information
Modern Healthcare: Privacy desires ignored
Americans are not just concerned about corporations snooping in their medicine cabinets, but also about researchers, nosy employees, and people with malicious intent, such as an ex-spouse or abusive partner.
Over ninety percent of Americans want to be able to decide which individual people can see and use their health information. This reflects a strong desire for very specific, detailed control.
Note: A sampling of Zogby International's online panel, which is representative of the adult population of the US, was invited to participate. Slight weights were added to region, party, age, race, religion, gender,
education to more accurately reflect the population. The margin of error is +/- 2.2 percentage points.

Montoursville wrestlers stumble at Towanda
TOWANDA Towanda's Jeremy Sheets has wrestled off for every spot he can think of in the Black Knights' lineup, but hasn't secured a starting spot until the last week. Wednesday night he won his first varsity match of the season, and it couldn't have come at a better time.
Aided by two stalling calls in the final 20 seconds of his 195-pound bout, Sheets pulled the upset against Montoursville's Lucas Shaheen to lead Towanda to a 32-27 win over Montoursville in the first round of the District 4 Duals tournament. The Warriors won three bouts in overtime, but just two of their seven wins earned bonus points as Towanda avenged a Jan. 5 loss to Montoursville.
"This was a match we didn't deserve to win the way we wrestled," Montoursville head coach Jamie Yonkin said. "This was probably hands down the worst match we wrestled all year. That wasn't the kids we were used to seeing. It's frustrating. (Towanda) just wanted it a little more than we did."
Montoursville was in a 12-0 hole to start because of forfeits at 113 and 120 pounds, but then Towanda reversed losses from the first contest into wins at 195 and 285 pounds which set the stage for their revenge win.
Sheets' match Wednesday night against Shaheen was just his second varsity match of the season. The junior is 17-0 this year on the junior varsity level, but had yet to win a varsity bout prior to last night. His only other varsity bout ended with a fall to Wyalusing regional fourth-place finisher Dylan Otis on Saturday.
When he prepared to take the mat Wednesday night against Shaheen, Towanda was leading 20-18 and Black Knights head coach Bill Sexton emphasized to Sheets that no matter who won the bout, they couldn't win by more than a decision. Sheets did his part in keeping the bout close with Shaheen holding a 2-1 lead after two periods.
Sheets started the third period in the bottom position and never escaped until there was only 5 seconds left in a desperation move by Shaheen. But Sheets had pushed the pace on the bottom enough over the final 20 seconds that he forced a stalling point with 19 seconds left to tie the bout, and another with 10 seconds left to go ahead. Sheets eventually won, 4-2.
"He's eliminated with (Dakota) Manning, he's eliminated with (Talon) Curry, he's eliminated with (Logan) Terry. They've all been close because he hasn't been able to get over the hump," Sexton said. "The kid knows how to wrestle. Tonight he went out and just gave us six good minutes."
The wins by Sheets and Talon Curry at 285 were the big reversals in decisions Sexton told his team he had to have prior to the match. Curry had been pinned by Montoursville freshman Ben Cerney in their first meeting.
They were reversals in decisions that were enough to offset all the tremendous work Montoursville had done in winning five of the first 10 contested bouts by decision. Three of those five wins were in overtime, including tie-breaker wins for Tristan Choate at 160 pounds and Ethan Jones at 182 pounds. Conner Bassett's win at 220 pounds was on a takedown in overtime against a wrestler he had pinned in the first meeting.
Choate's win came after Montoursville had fallen behind 20-6, and it was a reversal of decision from the first meeting when he was beaten by a point by Towanda's Justin Hunsinger. Choate took a two-point lead in the first tie-breaker period when he sat out and scooted for a good 20 seconds before getting behind Hunsinger with 1 second left for a reversal. He held on for a 4-3 win.
"That was definitely a big swing in our direction and a bonus for us," Yonkin said.
"I felt like Keith (Batkowski's) win should have really set us off and got us rolling," Choate said. "But we kind of put our heads down for a little bit. I feel like my win did set the tempo for us more."
Choate's win sparked a run of three consecutive wins and four in five bouts that brought Montoursville to within 23-21 after Bassett's overtime decision at 220. But knowing they were going to close the match with a forfeit at either 106 or 113 pounds, Cerney had to win at 285 to give the Warriors a chance.
Curry's win secured the victory for Towanda who advances to face top-seeded Central Columbia on Saturday at Milton in the District 4 quarterfinals. Central Columbia was a 67-3 winner over Sullivan County last night.
"Talon has really been coming on," Sexton said. "He lost in overtime to (Wyalusing freshman Dalton Chilson), but he gave us everything we needed tonight, and he had to win."
"We were just flat all around," Yonkin said of his team. "They seemed ready to go. It seemed like another match, but they were flat and Towanda was aggressive and the final score was the way it is."
The loss essentially ended a brilliant dual-meet season by a Montoursville team which started six freshmen all season. The Warriors still have on dual meet remaining against Danville next week, but the loss last night essentially ended the team portion of the season.
Yonkin said it was tough to be disappointed with what his team accomplished by winning 13 dual-meets this year, but as the season went on he started to expect more from his team and that's why there was frustration at last night's final score.
"As a coach, you always want more," Yonkin said. "Once you see these kids start to progress, this is what our goal was, but now we exceeded that and now we can do this. Looking back on it, by the time we calm down and the emotions are done and we look back at the season, I think we'll be happy with the season we had. For the team we've had, I think we did pretty well."
"I think it's a really big learning experience," Choate said. "We have a lot of phenomenal freshmen on this team, and for them to get this kind of experience even with just an extra match in the district duals is a big thing."

Phillies – Giants Series Photos
I have finished the Photo Albums from the 4-game Phillies – Giants series in San Francisco. The first one covers all around AT&T Park, inside and out. The second album is of all 4 games. Here is a quick summary of what you will see:
Game 1, July30th: Police Appreciation Day; Rodrigo Lopez starts for the Phillies and Jonathan Sanchez for the Giants.
Game 2, July 31st: Cliff Lee's first game with the Phillies vs. Ryan Sadowski for the Giants; Aaron Rowand's 1,000 career hit. There is also a photo of an A's World Series Ring that appears to be a very good replica.
Game 3, Aug. 1st: Giants Family Softball Game; Dog Days at the park; Olympic Gold Medalist Peggy Fleming in a pre-game ceremony; Joe Blanton starts for the Phillies and Tim Lincecum for the Giants.
Game 4, Aug. 2nd: Cole Hamels starts for the Phillies and Barry Zito for the Giants; there is one photo of the Phillies tour group looking very unhappy in the stands. FYI – I was not on the official tour; I went on my own but did talk to many people on the tour who had a great time, except for all the losses :O(
I will be posting more photos from the non-baseball events in a few days and will put up a link to that when it is done for anyone who wants to see the sights from San Francisco. It will include whale watching, the zoo, aquarium, sea lions, Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, different areas in the city, Sausalito, a few parks and more.

Sounds like you had a great time in SF, Jenn. I just looked at your pics of of all 4 games and they're terrific. The last time I was in SF was last August for a wedding, and there was constant fog. Looks like you avoided it!

Hope your trip was great! California just sound like fun for a holiday. Can't wait to see the pictures!
Very cool pics. Wow. You made the Giants' home look like fun! Haha. I kid. This is just another reason why I should take my camera with me every time I go to the ballpark (I often forget). Now, if I could just stay sober long enough to take decent pictures…
Jenn –
First time I have had the chance to read your Blog. It's no wonder you are in the top 10!

DS will be five months this week. He's definately been showing interest in table food, especially since we got him a high chair and made a point of including him around the dinner table. He's sometimes fascinated with everything that goes into my mouth. We've also been letting him sniff at foods for some time to learn new smells and he's recently started grabbing at some of it. He also sits up well in his high chair.
My mother is convinced he should have started cereal by now (of course :) ) and we're going to visit them next week for a while. I'm tempted to let him start on cereal down there with her. Partly because he's starting to seem ready and partly so she can have a "first" experience with him. And partly because I look forward to her reaction to the mess! hee hee!
DH and are I thinking the same way and the ped thinks it's fine for him to start. We also figure that it's only the littlest bit of cereal anyway in the beginning, and it's not even for nutrition at this point, it's only about learning how to swallow. So why not?
My only concern is the severe and unusual engorgement problems I've had at night. After months of this, it seems to be getting better and the ped did mention that introducing solids may make it worse. However, he only eats the tiniest bit of cereal in the beginning, right? And won't I give him that after I nurse him anyway?

THINKING PLAGUE: A History of Madness
2003, a mellower, sometimes rather romantic programme, and again with a changed line-up -Dave Kerman and Bob Drake are both missed. There is some impressive playing here, great precision, the usual surefooted compositional skill and some tricksy use of effects and arrangement detail - in this TP are light years ahead of the prog. Field - but in that field they toil, perhaps even more so than they did in earlier incarnations. And though unfair, one can't help but compare: the clarity and power of the early band (both in the sound and the arrangements) has given way to a more thoughtful but flattened music; impressively crafted but not inspired.

Four months ago, the circumference of Roona Begum's head was 94 centimeters -- almost triple the size of a normal baby -- due to 10 liters of excess fluid inside her brain.
Born in a remote village in northeastern India, Roona was diagnosed with an extreme form of hydrocephalus and was given only a few months to live.
After five high-risk surgeries, Roona pulled through and her head is now down to a circumference of 58 centimeters.
She can now move her head around, she is more playful and most importantly, she can see.
Back in her village, Roona has become the center of attention.
It's too early to tell if she will ever be completely normal -- several operations still lie ahead, but the signs so far are promising.

Landry Fields skills and IQ are much better than u and others give him credit for ..
For two seasons Fields has been underratted & underpaid as a great multi-position role-player .. now that he is over-paid on a underachieving team u and others want to bash Fields for not being a 20 point scorer, or a 3 point shooter .. when Landry Fields skills lies in so many areas other than scoring like pressure-defense, boxing-out, rebounding, setting screens, passing on fastbreaks, cutting to basket, steals, and Stops. So what he's not a jump-shooter.
I pity the fool who actually believe Brewer & JR.Smith all-around skills & IQ are better than a 3rd season G/F-Landry Fields .. the only thing Brewer & JR have over Fields is having more seasons of experience of getting diss-respected on court by Kobe, D.Wade, Brandon Roy, Ray Allen, Pierce, Ginobli, Joe Johnson, Terry, Stackhouse, and T-Mac .. hopefully this season Jason Kidd will help Brewer & JR decision-making become team-players rather than their career of athleticism stay as "one on one" players.

"You have ovarian cancer."
Those are words that are tough to hear. But according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 20,000 women in the U.S. hear that diagnosis each year. Most of them are over age 60. But the woman you're about to meet was diagnosed very young in her 30's. This is her story -- one of inspiration and triumph.
In 2004, Cindy Weiss' doctor told her something no one wants to hear – she had ovarian cancer.
"It really wasn't the cancer diagnosis that caught me. It was the moment after he said you have stage 4 ovarian cancer and you need an immediate hysterectomy, radiation and chemotherapy, and I just went, hmm. So I don't have kids yet. I'm not married, and I have always wanted to be a mom," Weiss said.
Cindy endured the treatment, and was cancer free for almost two years. Then Cindy says she just didn't feel right. The cancer had come back.
"Ovarian cancer has been called the silent killer, and the reason for that is the initial symptoms, if you will, may be very vague and nonspecific," said Dr. Matthew Robertson, MD, Mayo Clinic Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Dr. Matthew Robertson says because symptoms can be vague, abdominal bloating maybe a stomach ache, some women figure it's something else and don't get diagnosed until the cancer has spread. But the good news is that treatment keeps getting better.
Experts are learning more about what drives the progression of ovarian cancer and what leads to recurrences.
It's been five years since Cindy's second cancer diagnosis. She married her long-time boyfriend after her recurrence and they adopted a daughter, Charlotte.
Cindy, like most ovarian cancer patients, has to have tests done every three to six months to make sure she remains cancer free. She says it's important for women to talk to their doctors, like she did, if they feel something is wrong.

Laurier Inspires
Life After Laurier Science: success in high-tech finance
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Jan 26/10
WATERLOO Stephanie Ratza doesnt have to think too far back to recall one of her best Laurier memories. Just last year, 20 years after graduating with a degree in math, Ratza and her former university roommates celebrated their 40th birthdays by going on a cruise together.
Laurier helps build those bonds, she said during a recent talk that was part of the Life After Laurier Science speaker series.
The Laurier alumna has enjoyed a successful business career and is one of the most accomplished female executives in Waterloo Regions renowned high-tech sector. She currently serves as chief financial officer (CFO) of Descartes Systems Group, a global logistics company based in Waterloo.
For Ratza, one of the best parts of her Laurier experience was the student environment, which encouraged the building of strong relationships. Other benefits include the universitys strong reputation, excellent academics, innovative programs and exceptional learning experience.
And learning at Laurier occurs inside and outside of the classroom, she said. Although you are fortunate that the calibre of faculty here is also outstanding."
The ability to interact with faculty outside of classroom hours, and the many opportunities to build leadership skills, sets Laurier apart, she said.
After graduating from Laurier in 1989, Ratza earned her Chartered Accountant designation and became employee number 35 at Open Text Corp., creators of the first search-engine technology for the Internet. As controller, Ratza helped the company grow by completing 11 acquisitions. Today, Open Text produces content-management software and employs over 4,000 people worldwide.
Ratza went on to work at MKS Inc. as vice-president of finance, and the Intellectual Property and Innovation Company (IPICO) as chief financial officer, before taking on her current role as CFO at Descartes Systems, a logistics network provider that helps companies ship products and track their delivery efficiently.
Ratza was proud to note that five of her 30 team members at Descartes are Laurier alumni. (More than 1,000 Laurier alumni work in the thriving high-tech industry in Waterloo Region.)
My motto has been to work global, stay local, she said. Although my work has taken me places, I have been lucky to stay based in Waterloo.
Which is a good thing for Ratza, who sends her two children to the Laurier Golden Hawks sport camp every summer.
Ratza, the third guest speaker in the Life After Laurier Science speaker series, said the talk was another milestone in her life at Laurier. Ratza is also a member of the Deans External Science Advisory Council at Laurier.

Rotisserie Pork Roast with Rosemary, Garlic, and Balsamic Vinegar
(original recipe by Kalyn, about 8 servings)
boneless pork loin roast, (mine was 3.5 pounds)
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 T fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 T garlic puree
Mix marinade ingredients. Cut shallow slits into both sides of roast. (This is to help the marinade penetrate the meat better.) Rub meat on both sides with small amount of salt. Put roast into large ziploc bag, pour marinade in, close bag, and marinate 8-10 hours in refrigerator, turning the bag a few times if you can.
To cook, put roast on rotisserie rod and insert into rotisserie. Cook about 20 minutes per pound, or until temperature on instant-read meat thermometer reaches 145 F. Let sit 15 minutes before cutting. (If I was cooking this in the oven, I would roast at 375 F for 25 minutes per pound, or until meat thermometer shows 145 F, then let sit for 15 minutes before cutting.)

In her session at @BigDataExpo at @ThingsExpo, Hannah Smalltree, a director at Cazena, provided an educational overview of emerging "as-a-service" options for Big Data in the cloud. This is critical background for IT and data professionals...

President Obama recently announced the launch of a new national awareness campaign to "encourage more Americans to move beyond passwords – adding an extra layer of security like a fingerprint or codes sent to your cellphone." The shift from single passwords to multi-factor authentication couldn't be timelier or more strategic. This session will focus on why passwords alone are no longer effective, and why the time to act is now. In his session at 19th Cloud Expo, Chris Webber, security strateg...

Enterprise IT has been in the era of Hybrid Cloud for some time now. But it seems most conversations about Hybrid are focused on integrating AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google ECM into existing on-premises systems. Where is all the Private Cloud? What do technology providers need to do to make their offerings more compelling? How should enterprise IT executives and buyers define their focus, needs, and roadmap, and communicate that clearly to the providers?

Complete Internet of Things (IoT) embedded device security is not just about the device but involves the entire product's identity, data and control integrity, and services traversing the cloud. A device can no longer be looked at as an island; it is a part of a system. In fact, given the cross-domain interactions enabled by IoT it could be a part of many systems. Also, depending on where the device is deployed, for example, in the office building versus a factory floor or oil field, security ha...

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

The idea of comparing data in motion (at the sensor level) to data at rest (in a Big Data server warehouse) with predictive analytics in the cloud is very appealing to the industrial IoT sector. The problem Big Data vendors have, however, is access to that data in motion at the sensor location.

Between 2005 and 2020, data volumes will grow by a factor of 300 – enough data to stack CDs from the earth to the moon 162 times. This has come to be known as the 'big data' phenomenon. Unfortunately, traditional approaches to handling, storing and analyzing data aren't adequate at this scale: they're too costly, slow and physically cumbersome to keep up. Fortunately, in response a new breed of technology has emerged that is cheaper, faster and more scalable. Yet, in meeting these new needs they...

Enhancing cash flow transparency will help users better understand a company's financial health and future prospects, read our Point of View to find out more.
The statement of cash flows is regarded by many users of the financial statements in a number of industries as the most important financial statement and is often the foundation by which users evaluate a company's performance. Accounting standards provide a principles-based framework for presenting sources and uses of cash. We support principles-based standards, although we recognize that their application can be complex. This often leads to diversity in how cash flows are reported and reduces the comparability of financial reporting. Therefore, disclosure of cash flow information is important to enhance the utility of the statement of cash flows.
Companies can improve the usefulness of their cash flow information—and enhance the understanding of their businesses—in a variety of ways, such as disclosing their cash flow presentation policies and the location of specific transactions within the statement of cash flows. Additional ways consist of providing a more robust and transparent discussion of the primary drivers of cash flow results, including cash inflows and outflows from operating activities, enhanced interim cash flow reporting, and more.
Enhancing the transparency of a company's cash flow information will help users to better understand the company's relative performance and increase the predictive value of its cash flow results. This may benefit the company in the form of greater access to the capital markets and a lower cost of capital.

Get out and voteJuly 31,2014
Get out and vote
As a 21-year-old college student, I am faced with a lot of choices about my life. While the sheer number of unknowns and choices that fall upon my shoulders is overwhelming at times, I am very appreciative of my opportunity to make these choices for myself. Unfortunately, two recent decisions by the Supreme Court are making me worry for the future of my choices.
On June 26, 2014, the Supreme Court ruled the Massachusetts law which established a 35-foot buffer zone in front of reproductive care facilities unconstitutional. The Court said that the law unfairly limited freedom of speech of pro-life protestors, therefore violating the First Amendment. Just four days later, the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional the provision of the Affordable Care Act which requires private companies to provide health insurance which covers birth control to employees. In a split 5-4 decision, the justices said that closely held corporations are unfairly burdened in the practice of their religious liberty by being mandated to provide coverage of birth control against their beliefs.
As a woman, these decisions worry me. I believe that it is between me and my doctor to decide what type of birth control is best for me, not my employer. I believe I have the right to walk into a reproductive health care facility without fear of intimidation, harassment, or unwanted remarks about my legal right to access reproductive health care.
If the Supreme Court does not share my belief in freedom of choice, it is important to me that elected officials do. I, personally, will be looking for candidates who recognize my right to health care and my right to choose what is best for me. The recent SCOTUS decisions make it all too clear that it is crucial to vote for elected officials at the local, state, and national levels. With the overwhelming number of decisions to make in my life, voting for officials that will work to protect every individuals access to safe, affordable health care is an easy one to make.

By Helena Rodriguez: Local columnist
What kind of a child forgets their own parents' wedding anniversary? A self-centered, ungrateful, spoiled brat, right? Or in my case, a normally organized and occasionally thoughtful daughter suffering from brain overload.
Yes, I'm guilty as charged. Line me up before the firing squad. But I have a perfectly justifiable defense. Brain overload. Not Alzheimer's. Not old age. I'm not even 40 yet. It was a severe case of brain overload.
I was caught up in a project that apparently used up all of the memory space in my brain. I wish I had an "empty trash" button I could click inside of my brain or a file I could access to increase the number of megabytes in my RAM space, which by the way, stands for Random Access Memory. But of course, it would know which random memories you need to access for each particular situation.
My mom and dad celebrated their 41st wedding anniversary on Monday, a significant event in my life, because, well, I wouldn't be here today had this union never taken place. But I was completely oblivious to this significant occasion because I was wrapped up in my own world. I hadn't bothered to look at the calendar on that particular day and was busy preparing for a presentation for my class the next day.
After I finished, I was helping my daughter Laura with her English homework, and then my cell phone rang about 8:30 p.m. It was Dad.
"Did you forget something today?" Dad calmly asked.
I immediately felt a sense of panic as thoughts started racing through my mind. I couldn't think of anything. "What was I supposed to do?" I hesitantly asked.
"Do you remember what today is?" Dad pressed on.
And I'm thinking in my mind, "It's Monday!" But then it finally registers in my head, "Oh my God, today's your anniversary! I can't believe I completely forgot!"
Dad laughed it off, but I felt awful. I knew why Dad called. He must have been worried because normally I'm the one reminding my sisters about these special occasions. I'm the one asking what we're going to do to mark the event, but this time, I completely spaced out.
"All of the girls called today," Dad said, referring to my four sisters. "Even Uncle Billy called," Dad said.
That last one really made me feel bad. Even Uncle Billy, who lives in Dallas, remembered.
So after apologizing profoundly, I wished Mom and Dad a happy anniversary and Mom asks, "So what were you busy doing?"
I tell her about my class presentation and about how I was helping Laura with her essay. Lame excuses. Then I start thinking about how I've been so absent-minded lately, usually about little things. I'll ask Laura if she has homework or money for lunch and she'll answer. But sometimes, not even a minute later, I'll ask her again, and Laura, in her teenage, eye-rolling kind of way, will snap, "Mom, you just asked me that!"
So then I have this internal conversation with myself, "I'm not losing my mind. It's not Alzheimer's. It's brain overload!"
I've been studying for my comprehensive and oral exams in November, a final requirement to complete my master of arts degree, and I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do with my life after that: Apply to a Ph.D. program in communication, find a job, get another master's in English, write a book, join the circus, shoot myself …
Is this a good reason to forget your parents' anniversary though. No … unless you're suffering from brain overload. Here are some warning messages that may blink in front of your eyes: Not enough memory to access this Web site, preparing to shut down, check batteries, access to this area has been denied, a password is required to enter this secure area, call your service provider, add more memory, this page is temporarily down or under construction, check back later.

Weathering severe weather
November 8, 2012 —
While many animals weather unusual events like last week's hurricane better than humans do, there are impacts nonetheless that affect wildlife in various ways.
In addition to potentially dangerous factors such as toppled or dangling trees and downed powerlines, some species, such as tree-nesting birds, may lose the shelter of their homes. Others may be forced to adapt to serious habitat destruction.
Near Milford, PA, Bill Streeter of the Delaware Valley Raptor Center reports that a bald eagle nest across from River Beach Campgrounds blew down in the storm. Since then, one of the adult birds has been perched in a tree next to where its nest used to be.
The New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) reports that Hurricane Sandy has "wreaked havoc" on the state's fish, wildlife and marine species and their habitats. Staff are working to restore wastewater treatment plants and to respond to spills. In the Hudson Valley, DEC and private wildlife rehabilitators have been helping waterfowl survive their exposure to toxic oil and wastewater spills.
In addition to being disoriented following Hurricane Sandy, white-tailed deer are already on the move because fall is breeding time. Males are particularly distracted as they search for mates. The combination increases the risk of deer-vehicle collisions, especially between the hours around dusk and dawn, when deer feed. According to the DEC, an estimated 60,000 to 70,000 deer-vehicle collisions occur throughout the state each year, mostly between October and December.
To reduce the risk of a collision, the DEC advises motorists to use extreme caution at dawn and dusk, slow down when approaching deer near the roadside, watch for more than one deer to cross the road (since they travel in groups) and flash headlights to warn other drivers after you spot deer.

Hawaii supporters and opponents of same-sex marriage get ready as two cases go before the Supreme Court.
A small group of gay marriage supporters held a very vocal demonstration in Downtown Honolulu Monday to highlight the high court's examination of same-sex marriage.
"My hope is that they will see that discrimination against homosexuals is an abridgment of your U.S. civil rights," said Jo-Ann Adams, with Hawaii United for Marriage.
In Honolulu, along with other cities across the country, supporters of same-sex marriage gathered to commemorate civil rights changes over the years. They also recognized all the efforts to get the current cases before the Supreme Court.
"We've made it to the Supreme Court and that gives us a chance. The Supreme Court is the only one that can change public policy. We are now before the venue that can change public policy, that's very exciting," exclaimed Adams.
A decision on the measures may not come for months, but legal experts said the two days of arguments by the justices could indicate how the high court could rule.
"Listening to what the justices ask may give a hint about how strongly they are leaning toward really deciding the heart of the matter," said Steve Wermiel, with the American University.
Supporters and opponents may disagree on the definition of marriage, but they do agree on one thing: a Supreme Court decision will be huge.
"It's going to have a profound impact on how people define marriage," said Eva Andrade, with Hawaii Family Forum.
Unlike same-sex supporters more visual and vocal demonstration, Hawaii Family Forum and others opposed are taking a much quieter approach to the cases before the Supreme Court.
"We're asking people to unify and pray for the decision by the justices and for family in the community. What will happen in the next few days is important," said Andrade.
Because of the cases before the high court, Hawaii's lawsuits on same-sex marriage are on hold.
