Best Practices: 15 Ways to Get More Value From Security Log and Event Data
Data is both a blessing and a curse for organizations today. The enormous amounts of data generated by enterprise networks, servers, personal computing devices and applications can be mined and analyzed to identify and even prevent threats to security, not to mention drive purposeful, strategic technology and business decisions. But all that data presents a huge challenge: In this sea of data, we often don't know what's important. In other words, we are drowning in data but are thirsty for actionable information.
There's a growing push to solve this issue. How can security professionals dig through storehouses of log data, security event information and other monitoring data to identify potential compromises or threats? How can they correlate log and event data entries to show how a series of seemingly unrelated events might indicate a new attack? And how do other stakeholders in the organization—operations, compliance, IT and line-of-business managers—get what they need to do their jobs more effectively?
In this report, we recommend 15 ways organizations can leverage tools and best practices to more effectively analyze security information. (S4950512)

Hävvi i Glen have in a unique way managed to make their tourism a benefit to the Sámi community and at the same time inspiring for guests. By cooperating with Sámi village herdsmen and others in the village they help the community survive by offering visitors unique experiences of Sámi culture and life. The guided fishing and hunting trips are carefully planned so as not to overfish, overhunt or overexploit the land. The restaurant offers a rare opportunity to experience Sámi traditional food. Thomas is a reindeer herder.
In the village Glen in Tossåsens Sameby there is a small Sámi restaurant called Hävvi i Glen. It is a Sámi family company that also offer hunting, fishing and guided tours in the Oviken Mountains. Owned and operated by Thomas Johansson and Elaine Asp it is one of the few restaurants in Sweden that offer authentic Sámi dishes and one of the few companies where many Sámi herdsmen are guides in tours. They also cater for old people's homes where Sámi people live as well as for a Sámi day care. To bring traditional Sámi food to these institutions is part of their vision, as is their decision to use their neighbors' accommodation before building their own camp.

Once you read the above posts, I think you will come to at least two conclusions. One, that we are all crazy.
I'm on 5 BBQ lists, 2 sausage-making list, home-butchering, LTH Forum, Chili, Mexican Cooking, and 5 other sites and lists not associated with food.
How about this... A thread or page dedicated to troubleshooting failed dough. If we beginners truly believe that we've followed the instructions to the letter but we're still having problems, it would be nice to have a section that might offer solutions without having to pester you guys with the same questions over and over.For example:Too elasticky (won't stay stretched)Tears too easilyLumpySuggestions to common problems could be given.

Everyone has their opinion on how each MLB team will fare, who will make the playoffs, and which team will inevitably win the 2010 World Series.
It's that time of year where the first day of games for the 2010 season are quickly coming upon us, which means it's time for some heart-felt, confident pre-season predictions.
Read on for a glance at every division, and a prediction on how the playoffs will play-out. The Yankees can't win two world championships in back-to-back seasons, can they? (more…)

Stock Futures Rise Ahead of Confidence, New-Home Sales Data
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. stock futures were pointing to a mixed open early Tuesday as investors awaited the release of data on consumer confidence and new home sales.
Tech stocks were showing some cracks with Apple(AAPL) down 2% with its quarterly report due after the close, Netflix(NFLX) tanking following its first-quarter numbers, and Symantec(SYMC) losing ground because of a below-consensus outlook .
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were up 27 points, or 29.8 points above fair value, at 12,898. Futures for the S&P 500 were higher by 2.2 points, or 2.2 points above fair value, at 1365.
Futures for the Nasdaq were down 2.8 points, or 1.7 points below fair value, at 2648 as shares of Apple(AAPL) drifted lower and Netflix(NFLX) plunged.
Stocks sold off Monday as questions about Europe's economic and political stability rattled Wall Street.
Tuesday's U.S. economic calendar features reads on consumer confidence and new-home sales data at 10 a.m. EDT.
The Conference Board is expected to say its consumer confidence index decreased in April to 69.7 from 70.2 the previous month, according to Thomson Reuters .
The Department of Commerce is expected to report new home sales rose modestly to 320,000 in March from a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 313,000 the prior month as home inventories stabilize and labor market conditions improve.
"The home sales data has been bumpy and housing is trying to form a bottom and has been for many months and I don't see any change in that," says Michael Sansoterra, fund manager at RidgeWorth. "It's the spring buying season. Most people expect housing to be bumpy."
The Federal Housing Finance Agency's Housing Price Index also arrives at 10 a.m. EDT.
Earlier, the Case-Shiller 20-city Index showed a slight rise in February, up 0.15% from January, falling slightly short of the consensus view for an increase of 0.2%, and bringing it to an annual decline of 3.5% versus the expected fall of 3.4%.
Also, the Federal Reserve's latest two-day meeting on monetary policy starts Tuesday. Economists expect the central bank to stay committed to low rates until 2014, with Chairman Ben Bernanke likely leaving the door open for further quantitative easing. Bernanke is slated to hold one of his quarterly news conferences on Wednesday.
In corporate news, Apple has been weak ahead of its quarterly report, losing ground in nine of the past 10 sessions and dropping roughly 10% in the process. Analysts are expecting earnings of $10.02 a share in the company's fiscal second quarter on revenue of $36.7 billion. Investors will be paying close attention to iPhone sales, given recent worries of a slowdown. The stocks was down 2.2% at $559.23 ahead of the open.

As for me, I am "quoting texts" that support the Word revealed--I have come to Him, the One who gives Life--I am not "searching the scriptures in order to have life..." e.g.:
John 5:39-41: "You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life."
The Book of Revelation does not say that there is only "ONE" overcomer. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears to me that you believe you are the sole "overcomer," and that the Bible prophesies of only "One" attaining that. I believe it says "to him who overcomes..." in other words, anyone who can pass the tests and go through the refining processes can be an overcomer. I believe there will be thousands and thousands of "overcomers" -- but it seems to me you think YOU are "The One" here??
I follow the ONLY "One" ...

Authors on Stage: Stephanie Lehmann
Stephanie Lehmann, author of Astor Place Vintage: A Novel, will speak at the New Canaan Library on Wednesday, June 19, 2013, at 7 p.m. in the Adrian Lamb Room. This event is part of the Library's Authors on Stage program.
Amanda Rosenbloom, proprietor of the Astor Place Vintage clothing shop in New York City, thinks she's on just another call to appraise and possibly purchase clothing from a wealthy, elderly woman. When she discovers a journal sewn into a fur muff, Amanda gets much more than she bargained for. The journal is written in 1907 by Olive Westcott, a young woman who is set on pursuing a career as a department store buyer in an era when Victorian ideas, limiting a woman's sphere to marriage and motherhood, are only beginning to give way to modern ways of thinking. Astor Place Vintage follows the story of these two women, who are connected in ways neither could've imagined.

Over at The Hill comes an excellent and informative opinion piece written by Sandra Aistars, Executive Director at The Copyright Alliance .
In it, she points to the fact the head of the United States Copyright Office is thinking it might be high time to update the U.S. Copyright Law which hasn't changed since Gerald Ford was President. (For the uneducated, that would be 1976.)
Think about that for just a second. In 1976 there were no mobile phones, no mp3 players, no tablets, no real home computers except for the rich and geeky. No wifi.No Napster/Limewire/Megaupload/PirateBay. No cd's. No disks. Etc.
So yeah, it's about freaking time we figured this stuff out considering how much has changed. And good luck with it. Copyright law is broken, and it needs to be tweaked. The duration for example, (70 years under the copyright extension act) is preposterous. So too, the big old gaping hole that doesn't address the digital world.
And the sooner we do it through a proper channel the better. Unfortunately there is no utopia. And the only proper channel we have is the government. Sorry, but I do not believe in The People to make brilliant decisions. After all, The People brought us Google Adsense funded music piracy and Megaupload. In one sense The People have almost obliterated the purpose of creation, all to the tune of millions upon millions of fingertips hitting downloa while a very few get super wealthy. Ethically, everything has been thrown out the window.
More than this, I would also venture to say that psychologically the very notion of culture has been warped. We no longer see music or visual art or the written word as a fully realized valuable piece of creative. Rather, an increasingly vocal group lead by greedy lords of the digital serfdom are demanding all forms of culture be treated as a first draft to be fucked with in some bastardization of an open source model. All for free, of course. I still hold out hope that this damage isn't irrevocable.
The Aistars article is brilliant because it explains clearly and concisely why copyright exists and where the problems that have arisen from the misinterpretation (purposefully or innocently) of the law.
For the tl;dr crowd, read this paragraph:
Those skeptical of copyright protection have expended a lot of energy to redefine its language and revise its history. Calls for lessening copyright protections are far too often accompanied by heated rhetoric. Appealing to emotions may be a great way to drum up signatures for online petitions, but has no place in policy discussions. Finally, it is not hard to find examples of those who propose dramatic changes without understanding the business realities of how creative individuals and industries operate."
I have been on the receiving end of such less than cooler headed arguments for merely suggesting the ethical. Same with Dabitch. And certainly David Lowery and the Trichordist blog has had his fair share of pitchfork wielding angry villagers at his metaphorical door. I have no idea but I suspect East Bay Ray has too, or will be in the near future.
Ad hominem attacks aside, it's very difficult to argue with empirical evidence that copyright infringement is being funded by advertising and advertising platforms.
And yet, Aistars doesn't want to hang her hat completely on the almighty dollar as being the true need for such law. Despite the Freebie Jeebie crowd suggesting the notion that copyright stymies creativity, Aistars argues (correctly) the goal of copyright law is to ensure the "progress of the arts and sciences."
We don't champion government much around these parts. But I can get behind a government entity whose sole purpose is to ensure creativity flourishes by attaching an implied value and duration to a creative work. A value and term limit which, by the way, despite absurd suggestions to the contrary, the holder is allowed to revoke or ignore. So let's put away the fallacy that copyright means a band can't distribute their music for free because they can. And do. All the time. The only difference is copyright allows them that privilege, and punishes the non-creators who try to distribute it without consent.
Yeah, copyright law broken. Yeah the terms are too long. And yeah it's archaic to these digital times. It's definitely time to change it. So let's change it. Let's allow a governing body to govern, as it is their job after all. And let's hope they'll keep the parts that work and ignore the cynical money grubbing fat cats who are calling for us to to throw the baby out with the bathwater so they can keep making more and more money.
Think of it this way: When a fat cat lobbies a government with its brilliant idea, then you know it's not an idea worth keeping.
Thank you for posting. Important stuff. And btw, if you're a copywriter and your name starts with a "C", why not rip off the © logo and use it as your personal branded logo...for the opening of your reel 'n stuff. Kinda cool to steal the very logo that represents ownership. Oh, the irony.
It is about time the government updated copyright laws. I completely agree with getting behind a government entity that ensures "creativity flourishes".
Yes, by all means, let's let the current system linger while we wait for the government to come up with a new system. Should work out great, I mean they came up with what we have now, and that's excellent, right? If the current system is changed in my lifetime, I'll be surprised. If it's changed for the better in my lifetime, I'll probably shoot myself out of shock.
The US copyright term isn't a simple 70 years. In most cases it's the life of the author PLUS 70 years. This was to keep up with most of the rest of the world which extended the term before the US did. It's not likely to get shorter.
you dont trust the people but you do trust big company money behind goverment elected officals that wanted to pass sopa. thats is what happen with you let goverment complete controll
Copyright does more harm than good. Time to rid the world of the evil it brings.
Every major study not sponsored by the industry shows that filesharing and free streaming increases sales. If someone listens to a song or watches a movie for free they are more likely to buy it. I don't know what the problem is in understanding this. Record companies pay to have their songs featured on the radio. Filesharers provide this service for free. If you like copyright and making money off of media then you should be happy about filesharing sites getting advertising money. To be fair, companies should pay streaming sites for every listen not demand a fee. To be fair, filesharers should be thanked for keeping culture alive and vibrant, not sued and slandered. Why would anyone try to regulate away sharing? Without sharing humans would be alone in the cold fighting every second just to have food and shelter. You cannot base a business on going against human nature or you will fail in an economy made up of human beings.
SOPA is in no way censorship. DNS blocking is already used by ISP's to block things like child pornography. Our privacy has been invaded by silicon vally, and people don't seem to care about that - remember when they sucked up everyones wi-fi as they drove past with the Google-map car? (FCC Probing Google Wi-Fi Spy Scandal). Remember the software of android phones that tracks every keystroke'? We watch as privately owned corporations rally for "freedom", while they catalog our every move.
Here's a lovely counterpoint from Gavin Polone : Why I am for SOPA
It strikes me as odd that there is such vocal public outrage when industries export jobs to other countries, where needy people are desperate to raise their standard of living, but not a peep when some foreign website kills American jobs to nobody's benefit but the owner of the site, like the now imprisoned Kim Dotcom. Well, I guess his Rolls Royce dealer did well, so there is that.
Here we go again ...
We will never have copyright reform and a stable marketplace until we can all agree on three basic principles: 1) Anyone profiting from mass distribution of someone's work should obtain that someone's permission or cease and desist if asked, 2) merely accessing someone else's copyrighted work is protected by the First Amendment, because the right to free speech implies the right to hear speech, and 3) for customers, P2P is the digital bastard child of FM radio broadcasts and checking out a CD or DVD, and just as we distinguish between radio listeners and pirate radio broadcasters, and libraries and counterfeiters, we must somehow allow for the same distinction in P2P.
Attack people for freeloading and you will get nowhere. Pretend getting music for free is new and you will get nowhere. Your customers are smarter than you think.
"the right to free speech implies the right to hear speech"... wait, doesn't that (in this day and age) imply a right to a service? You have the right to an attorney and the right to vote, but I think that's where the list (of US constitution rights) ends.
I think copyright laws, at least as far as TV shows go, should be more lax. People should be able to legally record and upload TV shows for people on the internet to watch or listen to and they should be able to do all this without the owner's approval. Hell, everyone does it and it's not like the police actually enforce copyright laws as far as TV shows go. If they did, then there would be a lot more people in jail because everyone, at one time or another has either illegally uploaded or watched illegally uploaded TV shows. Sure, some people might say it's wrong, but I think it would be good for business. Think about it. Let's say you have a blog and you decide to record and upload an episode of . Now let's say someone who has never seen the show before comes across your blog and watches the episode you uploaded. Let's say he (or she) liked the episode. What they're going to do now from that point on is tune into every future episode of the show on their TV, thus providing the network (whichever one it may be) with another viewer. Sure, some networks upload their shows' episodes to their website, but then again some networks just upload clips and not full episodes. Also, I know you have Hulu, which is legal, but even Hulu doesn't have full episodes of every show. This would be especially helpful for shows that have lost viewers and are struggling as a result. So, in a way networks are missing out on a great to get more people to watch their shows.
Attracting viewers is obviously of interest to "The Networks", as more viewers = more money. When the views happen on channels where the networks are selling the supporting advertising (other networks like HBO rely on subscribers). If the entire season is found for free online, and the surrounding advertising is collecting money into Kim Dotcom's pocket, well that's just a bit fucked up isn't it?

Skip to comments.The Last Honest Liberal-Caitie Parker (Friend of AZ Shooter)
Posted on 01/09/2011 2:32:27 AM PST by icwhatudo
Her name is Catie Parker and her 15 minutes of fame is upon her. She is a liberal and may have saved Sarah Palin and the Tea Party a huge amount of ill will in the wake of the Arizona shootings. She was the classmate and self described "really good friend" of the Arizona shooter Jared Lee Loughner. She was also in a band with him. Her comments have set the blog world and media on fire with her description that the shooter was "left wing, quite liberal". This flies in the face of the Palin/Tea Party connection narrative that many in the media and on the internet have been pushing.
Parker, who's comments about the left wing politics of the shooter have been cited in this morning's NYTimes, was one of many who tried to place blame on Sarah Palin for putting out a map that "targeted" districts (including Congresswoman Giffords') where Republicans should focus their election efforts.
Parker describes herself on her MySpace Page as liking Environmentalism and Animal Rights while loathing Rush Limbaugh and Fox News, so it would appear her comments can not easily be dismissed as the ravings of a Tea Party or Palin supporter.
Parker first mentioned her possible connection to the shooter on her twitter account: "Saying Jared Laughner was the gunman. Really hoping that's not the same guy I went to HS with, really good friend. Freaking out right now!!!"
She then realized it was him: "Official I went to high school & college, & was in a band w/ the gunman. I can't even fathom this right now."
Her comments began to get noticed when she tweeted her relationship to an employee of Reuters Media, Anthony De Rosa, who has nearly 4,000 followers on his Twitter site.
De Rosa conducted the first interview with Ms. Parker, asking her confirm the shooter's myspace and YouTube accounts and asked about the shooters state of mind. Parker replied "He was a political radical & met Giffords once before in '07, asked her a question & he told me she was "stupid & unintelligent""
De Rosa then asked the money question: "did he identify himself as a member of the Tea Party?" To which Ms. Parker gave the answer that would stun the mainstream media world..."As I knew him he was left wing, quite liberal. & oddly obsessed with the 2012 prophecy."
De Rosa then asked: "Was he closely tied to any groups or mainly a loner?" To which Ms. Parker answered: "he was a pot head & into rock like Hendrix,The Doors, Anti-Flag. I haven't seen him in person since '07 in a sign language class"
De Rosa himself came under attack for seeming to lend help against the false narrative that the shooter was somehow connected to Palin. He posted "i'm the furthest thing from a Sarah Palin fan, I'm reporting the facts".
De Rosa then worked to arrange contact with ABC news and Jake Tapper while Ms. Parker started to get overwhelmed with the comment "This is a circus. Good Morning America just called me."
De Rosa has gone on to link to the 40 media requests including the NYTimes, NPR, and PBS that are pouring in for Ms. Parker.
I had a chance to tweet with Ms. Parker and here is a screenshot of our conversation (note-read from bottom up as newer posts are on top):
Unfortunately I did not get a response from Ms. Parker about the quotes from the the IRS plane crash perpetrator Joseph Stack. The media were also pushing the false narrative of a conservative Tea Party type in his case until posters at Free Republic were able to research his writings.
In the case of the Arizona shooter, one would think that these clues...:
having a flag burning video as your favorite video
having Mein Kampf as one of your favorite books
having said "America is a terrorist nation"
having said "America is in two illegal wars"
having said you "Do not trust in God"
having become upset at receiving a Bible when you checked off "no religion" at a military installation
having a drug arrest
having hung out with the "Goth Crowd"
having smoked pot and "wasn't too keen on religion"
...would make it hard for anyone to claim a motivation from conservatives, the Tea Party, or Sarah Palin.
Sadly it wasn't enough. Instead it took a liberal, an honest liberal like Catie Parker, to stop the mob mentality and set the record straight.
BTW, this was a hilarious side comment:
He posted "i'm the furthest thing from a Sarah Palin fan
A small bit of honesty from the MSM as well, heh heh heh.
She has provide detailed info including yearbook photos of herself and the shooter. She has been cited by NY Times and appears set to appear in multiple media outlets.
She needs to read up on Tammy Bruce, and quickly!
Yes, she is honest and a liberal and therefore the last of the Mohicans. She's due for some serious cognitive dissonance and probably could use a friend. Let's pray she finds one.
Dunno... Seems to be a loner/anarchist type... Not many friends, and few of them that will not skitter away like roaches when the light turns on...
As hard as everyone is looking... The whole Innerweb being scoured by all sides... Finding very, very little. An odd thing in this day and age.
@icwhatudo: Thx... Nice, even report.
It's not all lost though . . . as I flip through my boilerplate list of liberal frames for stories . . . Aha! . . . The shooter was a victim . . . It's Sarah Palin's fault because her anti-ObamaCare stance kept this poor disturbed individual from getting the mental health help he needed . . . let's toss that story out there and see if it sticks any better than the "he was a Tea Partier" boilerplate. Note to journalists: truth is irrelevant, if not completely fictional, and what matters is building a tidal wave of stories repeating the approved talking points.
Yeah, but that is just it- no real social networking (and the punk is young enough to know how) - it leaves us with physical evidence and a reliance upon the integrity of the LEO offices involved...
There doesn't seem to be anything else.
When the Jarod's name was released, I found his YouTube page before I saw it anywhere.
The slow FR servers kept me from posting it here first, but I followed the Tweets and read Catie Parker's admission that he was a liberal.
None of this matters to those who tried to blame Palin, Limbaugh, etc. These people will do the exact same thing next time, hoping the shooter will have some connection to conservatism.
Their agenda is to silence us and nothing will stop them.
I received tweets last night ranging from statements that his earlier leanings don't count because he ranted about gold standard, property rights, etc. later which means he's not a Leftist anymore, to one which actually made the claim that once a person resorts to violence they are no longer a liberal.
I doubt Ms. Parker's input is going to have much impact. A lot of those on the left seem to already have their minds made up. But I wish her well and I hope she doesn't get smeared by the media.
May God Bless her for trying to set the record straight.
All of her posts today, she just invited herself to be a witness for the defense when the trial happens.
She WILL be called. Any defense attorney worth his salt would be writing a subpoena right now!
Since a Federal Judge was killed I suspect the Sheriff is just an observer. I would think the FBI is leading the investigation.
I meant that it won't have much impact on the media's slant nor on people in general. I didn't even think about her having to go to court.
I think Ms. Parker will be getting a pretty rough ride from her fellow liberals...
It has already begun - check DU - keep barf bucket handy, of course...
How long before Ms. Parker is attacked by the left as a Tea Party plant?
Thanks icwhatudo,I think the poster Blue Boy said he met her in 07.
It's way too early for DU for me. I'd prefer to be able to digest my coffee. :)
True but he is the one with motor mouth.
Won't work. She admits to being good friends with him. She admits to being in a band with him, which presumably means there were other members who could testify to his drug use/political leanings, whatever.
She basically opened up a can of worms... a can of worms about as big as Mt. Everest!
That's a boatload of worms!!
They will eventually stop themselves. Libelous and false statements will eventually serve to discredit over time.
There are reasons that there is a decided shift to the internet for a growing majority of the population's news needs.
This will only strengthen this shift.
And what was Obama's last major achievement? Net neutrality rules from the FCC.
Never think the liberals will stop trying to remove every means we have of communicating directly with the people.
The cause of World Socialism cannot be besmirched.
That is eggzactly and precisely why the FCC is going after strict control of the Internet.
Sadly this is true. Perhaps the hate she is likely to see poured upon her by the left will open her eyes to the culture of hate that permeates the left.
She'll be sent to "re-education camp". Face it, unscrupulous people are going to make as much as they can out of this politically. Ignore them, and stick to your beliefs.
If, Socialist RINO's reveal their collective true identity, then there will be a harder time to glean through the information to get to the truth. The Dem's can't do it without them.
That being said, just like legislation to stop the EPA, legislation to stop the FCC be forwarded.
Whether the fear of RINO's being replace by Tea Party members has any sway over their soon to be reveal loyalties, remains to be seen.
Thanks to the Internet, it won't work becuse it'll be the same group of people trying the different ploy. Had there been no records, they could have gotten away with "what I really meant was..." - but not now. They've washed their dirty linen in public, and it can't be erased.
You said he would be destroying evidence, not just running his mouth. My point is that he's probably not in charge of the investigation and can't destroy anything. As long as he's just running his mouth he can't harm the investigation.
A couple of things:
I don't know if she's an honest liberal, or just not media savvy enough to realize that liberals normally all band together and support the narrative of the moment, that the shooter is a Tea Party member. After she's been contacted privately by members of our governing and media elite, look for her comments to change.
She deftly turned those aside. As well as those who were maligning her faith.
I caught that as well. Jumped out of the page at me as much as the bolded parts.
I think it was yesterday I read on Fox News that Obama put forward a plan to give everyone a unique ID for the Internet.
That would allow him to send in his troops if he or the Dems do not like what you write. Also, they would be able to track every single purchase you make and tax it.
Well done. Thank you for compiling this information.
dem izzz sum Dune wurms! "Tremors" sized worms!
OUTSTANDING! Thanks. In all of the state-run noise, one 1st-hand analysis is worth more than ALL the rest of the garbage fed to us by the propagandists.
Would be ironic if Parker received threatening tweets from angry liberals.
OUTSTANDING! Thank you, icwhatudo. Worth another BUMP-TO-THE-TRUTH! HOORAY Catie Parker!
Great write-up. Even though she initially pushed the blame-Palin theme, she was honest enough to be forthright about her former friend.
Awesome post, FRiend.
I agree. She should take some precautions and go low-profile for a while. If I were her, i'd take down any facebook or myspace page i might have. any information about myself that might be publically available.
Well done.

"When I say 'Malala,' you say 'Day!'"
The energy was palpable in the United Nations Trusteeship Council Chamber as more than 500 youth delegates from nearly 90 countries gathered for the first ever Youth Takeover of the UN on Friday, July 12th. Malala Day: UN Global Education First Youth Assembly was held in honor of the young Pakistani student Malala Yousafzai, who was shot by the Taliban because of her advocacy work on girls' education. The event brought youth and prominent officials alike together to advocate for global access to quality education.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, President of the General Assembly Vuk Jeremic, and UN Special Envoy for Global Education Gordon Brown showed their high-level support, but Malala's speech was the showstopper, cementing her position as the "champion" of the UN Global Education First Initiative. Malala spoke of the power of education, calling upon youth to arm themselves with "the weapon of knowledge" and to never remain silent in the face of injustice because "silence is the loudest approval of all." All of the speakers agreed that with 57 million children currently out of school around the world, the need for action, not just words, could not be more pressing.
The call to action came in the form of a petition and Youth Resolution, asking world leaders take the necessary steps to achieve the Millennium Development Goal and put the remaining 57 million children in school by the end of 2015. Within a mere two weeks of its launch, the petition garnered four million signatures from all over the world. In a demonstration of the power of coordinated social media efforts and widespread media coverage, almost a quarter million additional signatures were added over the course of Malala Day.
Malala Day underscored the need for youth participation and activism. Jamira Burley, the American member of the UN's Youth Advocacy Group, noted that, "Young people should always be at the table when decisions about us are being made." Jamira emphasized the need not only for youth to participate, but also for decision-makers to value youth perspectives.
We were thrilled and honored to join the U.S. delegation along with USUN interns Suzanne Zakaria and Taryn Kaili, U.S. National Commission for UNESCO Youth Working Group member Ross Seidman, Gilman Scholar alumna Qing Yu Yu, and Fulbright Scholar Aksinya Sorokina. Like the hundreds of other participants, we came away from Malala Day with a deeper understanding of the diverse issues facing youth and the challenges to achieving a quality education. The inspiring accomplishments presented by young people from around the world during Malala Day serve as an inspiration for action, spurred by a shared belief in the value and transformational power of education -- opportunities all children deserve.

Dixie Eaton Weldon, 86, of Bellefontaine, Ohio and formerly of 6 Leroy Street, Warren, Pennsylvania entered Heaven's gates on Sunday, January 19, 2014.
Dixie was born in Grand Valley, Pennsylvania on a cold and blustery winter afternoon on March 5, 1927. Her parents were Harry J. Eaton and Alliene (Harrison) Eaton. She and her sisters enjoyed an idyllic childhood in Grand Valley, and later moved to Warren Pa. where Dixie graduated from Warren High School in 1945.
Dixie was married to William G. Weldon on Sept. 14, 1946 and the couple remained devoted to each other until Bill's death in 1992. They were rich in friendships and familial affection.
Dixie always had a cheerful attitude and her sparkling big brown eyes could make anyone's day a bit brighter and make them feel like her best friend.
Her family was her career and, with her husband, she blessed their four children with wonderful, memorable childhoods. She was a most loving wife and mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend.
She was remarkable for her loyalty to her family and an example to all for her cheerful heart, her selfsacrifice and her ability to inspire her family and friends simply by having faith in them. Despite her grief over the tragic deaths of two of her cherished children while both were in the prime of their lives she focused only on the living and caring for others.
She was a lifelong member of the First Presbyterian Church of Warren and a member of the Kanuga Chapter of the Daughters of the American Colonists and a former member of the Lakewood Rod and Gun Club.
Dixie gracefully entered heaven to be reunited with her parents, her husband Bill, her daughter Linda Weldon Campbell, her son William Eaton Weldon, her greatgranddaughter Tatum Kennedy Violand, her sisters Alliene Eaton Correll and Frances Eaton Larson and her nephew Timothy J. Correll and Minnie I. Kerr, the beloved caretaker of the Eaton family. In the days prior to her passing she saw this group waving to her from the other side and she was happy to know she would be enfolded into their waiting arms.
She will be forever in the hearts of those she leaves behind: her daughters Pamela Weldon Marshall (John) of Belle Center, Ohio and Margery Weldon Roth (Larry) of Lincoln, California; her Goddaughter Toni Strawbridge Stevenson of Titusville, Pennsylvania; her sister Louise Eaton Hogg of Hermitage, Pennsylvania and; her cherished lifelong friends Jean Engle and Rhea Burleigh; her 10 grandchildren and one step granddaughter; 15 greatgrandchildren and 2 step great grandchildren; and many loving nieces and nephews.
A memorial service will be held at the First Presbyterian Church of Warren, Pennsylvania on Saturday, February 1, 2014 at 11 am to be followed immediately by a celebration of her life at the Women's Club, also in Warren.
Dixie will be laid to rest among eight generations of her family in Laona Cemetery in Laona, New York.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be given to March of Dimes or the First Presbyterian Church of Warren. The family wishes to express their gratitude for the love and support given to Dixie during the weeks prior to her passing. They thank those who took the time to write and visit Dixie to express the difference she had made in their lives.
The JenningsFarley Funeral Home, West Liberty, Ohio, is in charge of arrangements.

How to navigate your insurance company�s EOB and make sure you�re not overpaying your doctor.
If you�ve ever handed over your insurance card at a visit to your doctor�s office, you�ve gotten an EOB�explanation of benefits�in the mail afterward. �You get these forms, and it looks like it could be a bill,� says Ankeny Minoux, chief operating officer for the Foundation for Health Coverage Education. But an EOB, which is mailed to patients by their health insurance companies within a few months of receiving a healthcare service, is not a bill. And while �explanation� is part of the name, EOBs aren�t exactly easily understood. RELATED: How to Save Money on Healthcare Costs �It�s a lot of numbers, and it�s a lot of fields,� says Erin Moaratty, chief of external communications for the Patient Advocate Foundation. As tempting as it may be to pitch the EOB into the trash or leave it unopened in a stack, it�s better to open it up and at least try to decipher the information within. And if you look more closely, the EOB may start to make a little more sense. The forms should spell out a description of healthcare services that you recently received, along with coding you don�t need to understand but the provider and insurance company do. It will list when the service was provided and which provider performed the service. RELATED: Should You Buy a Health Service Through Groupon? The EOB will also list the amount charged and requested by the healthcare provider for the service, as well as the portion of that amount your insurance company will cover. In that regard, it may resemble a bill, but it isn�t. �It�s just alerting you to what you will probably be subjected to,� says Moaratty. Essentially, EOBs are just statements of the situation as currently documented by your insurance company, the Patient Advocate Foundation stresses. As such, the EOB can change as your insurance company gets more information from your provider. So don�t be alarmed if you get a second EOB that details the same services provided�it likely contains updated information. When you do receive a bill from your healthcare provider, you should compare your latest EOB to the bill and see if everything matches up. If it doesn�t, you�re worried there�s been a mistake, or if you have other questions about services and billing, start by calling the provider at the phone number on your bill, says Minoux. �Take your EOB and staple it to the bill you get,� says Moaratty. �Write on it what you paid and when you paid it, and you have a track record of what�s going on.� Don�t throw the EOBs out, either. If you get an EOB without a follow-up bill, don�t assume you won�t have to pay�the insurance company can take as long as seven years to send you a bill, Minoux cautions. �So having that paperwork is so important,� she says. If you ever need to undergo treatment for a major illness or chronic condition, you will probably get a lot of EOB statements in the mail. Moaratty suggests creating a system to file and organize them so you won�t lose track. You might even designate a loved one to help you when you�re not in shape to organize them yourself.

In short: challenging, as ever. Excellent organisation- even a sofa for the tired !In full: A well laid out and smoothly-run race. Marshals cheery and helpful - a real credit to the Striders.

In short: Hilly and stretching - but excellent organisationIn full: Having read previous reviews I was expecting killer hills - and I wasn't disappointed! The first 1.5 miles was all up hill, and there were a fair few other steep uphills too. The good news is that they were matched by equally as steep downhill descents too.Knocked 10 mins off my PB (last mile and a half downhill may have helped this!)Scenery was glorious - gorgeous autumn colours along country lanes. Couple of road floods added an extra dimension. Organisation was fantastic - ample stewards in Marlow town and along the course. Very well signposted - lots of parking and the goody bag was welcome too. Nice t-shirt as a memento. Would recommend!Date of review: November 3, 2008
In short: Very good fun and extremely friendly!Date of review: November 3, 2008
In short: My 4th Marlow Half marathon and still enjoyable. 1 minute of my Hald PBIn full: This was a toughy. Having done it a few times before I knew what was coming but the hill at mile 8 was tough. I still managed to be only 1 minute off my half pb so very pleased. This is a regular on my training calanderDate of review: November 3, 2008
In short: Excellent organisation, beautiful Chiltern hillsIn full: Really enjoyed this race, a big thanks to the supportive and helpful marshalls. Well organised, with an excellent results service.The course was beautiful, running through the Chiltern beech woods, although the hills were tough, especially at mile 8. Despite that I managed a PB; in particular many runners must have managed as 6 minute mile on that last downhill section!Date of review: November 3, 2008
In short: A tough race but brilliantly organised and fantastic scenery to numb thr painof thr hillsDate of review: November 3, 2008
In short: Every year I seem to enjoy this challenging race moreDate of review: November 3, 2008

Howie is back. Same fat-bastard-time, same fat-bastard station(s)...see below
What's the deal? Is he going to WTTK or not?
Our long, national nightmare is over.
Its official: Howie Carr back to WRKO
by Jessica Heslam/Boston Herald
Four months after he anounced plans to jump ship, Howie Carr is returning to his afternoon drive show on WRKO-AM tomorrow, the station plans to anounce later today.
We are thrilled that Howie is back on WRKO, said Entercom New England Vice President and Market Manager Julie Kahn in a press release. Howie is a one-of-a-kind talent, and Im sure all of Howies listeners are looking forward to hearing him on our air again.
Carrs new contract with WRKO runs through 2012. He returns to his 3 to 7 p.m. slot.
Im very happy to be reunited with my loyal listeners on WRKO, said Carr in the release. I said Id be back on the air before Imus and now I am!
WTKK said in a statement that they are disappointed and strongly disagree with the judge whose decisions blocked Carr from jumping ship.
We are disappointed that Howie Carr will not be able to join WTKK at this time, but we fully support him in his decision to return to work at WRKO, the station said in a statement released moments ago.
While we strongly disagree with Judge Van Gestels decisions, which forced Howie to choose between working for WRKO or being unemployed for five years, we have always said that we would abide by the ruling of the court. To pursue what would likely have been a very long appeal with an uncertain outcome would have been counter-productive for Howie and his loyal listeners. Howie also has his family to think about; anyone in his position would make the same decision. It is time to move forward. We wish him all the best.
WTKK had offered Carr a five-year deal to host their morning-drive show. The bonus-based contract would have allowed Carr to earn up to $7 million, an offer WRKO later matched.
Imus plans to return to the air next month with a syndicated show.
Oh how I wish I could get Howie on XM so I could listen to him in my car.
Holy crap, I really didn't think he'd show up tomorrow for just one day, and what the hell was Avi Nelson talking about filling in for Howie next week? According to Nelson he would be in three days next week for Howie,,,,,Howie still has vacation time???
I'm not surprised, given the dearth of alternatives he was left with. I do hope that Kahn & Wolff will have the decency not to gloat over their victory. In any case, it will be good to have Howie back on the air!
When's the first death pool?
I wonder if Todd - o - rama will make mention of this today? We shall see,,,,,,,,
tomorrow, and I'm picking RKO!
>>Howie still has vacation time???
maybe working out some legal stuff...? or he's just taking some of the vaca time his "new" contract is giving him.
Hopefully soon!
Todd probably WILL mention this today...boy am I relieved
to be able to hear Howie again though I feel bad for HC;
despite whatever pay he'll get, he has to work with
Coffee Boy (Jason "Hokey" Wolfe), The Empress (Julie
Kaaaaaaaaaaaahn!), and alongside Felon Finneran.
Howie is the only real bat in the 'RKO lineup...
...and the Sox (who open the '08 season in Japan) are
a long winter away...
and I am assuming that his "network" will be back.
Now, WCRN in Worcester ditched him—will they take
him back?
Howie's affiliates, as far as I know
WRKO 680 Boston
WHYN 560 Holyoke
WXTK-FM 95.1 Cape Cod
WVMT 620 Burlington
WNTK 99.7 New London NH (?)
WKBK 1290 Keene NH (?)
WUVR 1490 Lebanon NH (?)
WGAN 560 Portland ME
WVOM 103.9 Augusta ME?
I seriously question the ongoing relationship between Howie Carr and WRKO's upper management from now on. This should be interesting.
I'm glad but its been a long time since I've given up my habit of listening to WRKO.
Speaking for his west coast fans (all 3 of us), it's good to have him back in his old slot (3-7). At least it's a listenable time here.
It's good for me—afternoons are my free time as I work
a night shift (I hear Howie's 5 pm hour on the way to
work and 6 pm hour at work.)
This means more Red Sox pre-emptions come baseball season
but remember that 'RKO shifts the Sox to WEEI for
afternoon games (not sure about spring training though).
But Howie's last half hour should be gone a lot due
to 7 pm starts/6:30 pre-game.
For Howie fans in Metro-west or any area west of
Boston that has trouble picking up WRKO after sunday:
contact WCRN and ask them to put him back on! Even
if just for an hour or so...
I guess Howie thought better of a morning slot now that Imus is coming back. Much safer in the afternoon.
Well 2012 is when the world is supposed to end, so we should never have to go through this again.
I'd expect to see an invigorated Howie when he returns. If he gets out of line and violates some silly programming guideline, what is management going to do, fire him?
Hey Howie what are you gonna listen to in the afternoon,
driving your kids home from school?
(Recorded in Sept., just before Howie was supposed
to move...a couple days before the decision that said
he couldn't.)
I would hope that Howie's latest contract doesn't include that obnoxious "matching offer" provision that screwed him this time. Bottom line, you'd best be careful what you put your signature on.
If there are actual flyers of Howie Carr on 96.9 FM still available, then they may be collector's items or will be soon.
This is great news. Hannity spends way too much time talking to Liberals on his show.
Anyway, I'm very happy Howie's back...and in the afternoon, too.
Howie's Friday column
Kikos kooky defense: Its the drugs talking
By Howie Carr | Friday, November 16, 2007 | http://www.bostonherald.com | Columnists
The jailbird victim du jour is Roberto Kiko Pulido, the crooked Boston cop and erstwhile proprietor of Hyde Parks world-renowned after-hours club, the Boom-Boom Room.
In what is becoming a tradition, Kiko is making his pitch for mercy, not directly to the federal judge wholl be sentencing him in Febuary, but indirectly, through the local broadsheet.
Earlier this week it was Toby Kerns, the natural-born knucklehead who dreamed of turning Marshfield High into another Columbine. That loser threw himself on the mercy of the court of public opinion, and it worked, dammit.
Instead of 40 years, a bleeding-heart state judge gave Toby 10 months.
Now comes Kiko Pulido, who pleaded out last week to multiple felonies, including providing security for cocaine and heroin dealers who turned out to be undercover FBI agents. Among other sidelines, he bragged of selling the Social Security numbers of drivers he stopped, peddling steroids and dealing in stolen gift cards.
Kiko once asserted on tape that he had made certain his fellow bent cops understood that, If something goes bad and theyre at fault, somebody is going to pay, either with their life or their childrens lives.
Pretty cold, threatening to kill somebodys kids, but Kiko can explain everything. That wasnt him talking, it was the steroids he was hooked on. Kiko was just kidding.
And do you know whose fault it is that he committed all these crimes while on steroids?
Not Kikos, of course. No, he points the finger at the Boston Police Department. By phone from a New Hampshire jail, he told the broadsheet the BPD should have given him more help, and treatment, for his addiction.
Of course, when Kiko tested positive for cocaine in 1999, he claimed he was innocent. Kiko appealed his suspension, with the help of the Boston police union, whose president is Thomas Nee, who happens to be the father of Toby Kerns alleged co-conspirator in the Marshfield High massacre plot. Small world, isnt it?
But back to Kikos drug problems. At first he was angry that the BPD brass accused him of being a druggie. Now hes peeved at the same BPD brass for not getting him help for the addiction he loudly claimed he didnt have.
So lets go over some of the other reasons Kiko thinks he deserves a lenient sentence:
# He has two mortgages on his houses, plural, in Florida and Hyde Park.
# The feds made him pay 40 grand for his own lawyer - not fair!
# He likes to read his Bible and hes got God in his heart.
# He didnt father a child until he was 16.
# He only has six children, by three or four different women.
# At his first wedding, he insisted that the only beverages served were sparkling apple and grape juice.
# Kiko is such a trusting soul that when the informant who ratted him out got married last year, Kiko was not only his best man, but paid for the honeymoon - is there no honor among drug-dealing stool pigeons?
# Hes the son of poor immigrants from Cuba, and when he claimed on tape that his 74-year-old mom could spot a narc a mile away, that was the steroids talking again.
# In 2005, Kiko suffered a stroke brought on by overwork.
Kiko liked to mix work and pleasure, the way he did at the Boom-Boom Room. Featured attractions were drugs and hookers, both of which were available at popular prices.
Kikos not asking for any special treatment from the judge, you understand. Hed settle for what Toby Kerns got, only at Club Fed.
Of course, Kikos sentence will be harsher, but I doubt he gets the max. In the halls of justice, the only justice is in the halls.
The Globe re: Howie's return. Entercom's Julie Kahn
jokes about giving Howie a ball and chain...
And speaking for the Western Pennsylvania crowd (me?) I'm glad to NOT have to listen to Hannity every afternoon! (I like the guy, but he just gets on my nerves sometimes!)
Yippee, he's back...
I was driving out of the tunnel on 93 and heard Todd give the news. Almost drove off the bridge ;)
from http://www.radio-info.com
Tom Taylor's radio-info.com newsletter
Howie Carrs back in gear today at WRKO, Boston.
The conversation on the Radio-Info.com Boston board is intense, and no doubt it will keep up after he returns at 3pm today returns home to his ex, after trying to escape to a new relationship with Greater Medias WTKK. The WRKO.com site featured a big Im baaaack splash page yesterday afternoon, and manager Julie Kahn praises Howie as a one-of-a-kind talent who now has a contract with WRKO all the way through 2012.
Howie came so close
If only hed waited to talk to Greater Media until his contract with Entercoms WRKO was over. Or - If only hed just waited to reveal his new deal with Greater Media until that contract was up. And if only Entercoms Julie Kahn (in Boston) and David Field (back in Philly) hadnt been so dead-set determined to keep him. There are probably a couple more if onlies that I havent thought of, but that opens up a lot of the ground. Howies side probably thought they were covered, legally, when they felt Entercom had missed a six-months-out window to negotiate back in the Spring. I think thats when they began to get serious with Greater Media about taking over the former Don Imus slot on WTKK (96.9). The Boston Heralds reported that five-year deal couldve been worth as much as $7 million over five years, if Howie hit all his ratings goals. But Howies absolutely essential to WRKO (billing-wise), and Entercom held on to him like a Survivor contestant during an immunity challenge. Entercom was also buoyed by the two rulings of Judge Allan Van Gestel, and the refusal of an appeals court judge to jump in. And frankly, Howies taken a lot of shots at The Powers That Be in Boston, and some of them saw a chance to get in a lick or two.
Greater Media strongly disagrees with Judge Van Gestel but graciously bows out.
CEO Peter Smyth really wanted to win this one, and the affair wont be forgotten on either the Greater Media or Entercom side. Folks in Boston have long, long memories. But GMI says it understands Howies personal decision: To pursue what would likely have been a very long appeal with an uncertain outcome would have been counter-productive for Howie and his loyal listeners. Howie also has his family to think about. Anyone in his position would make the same decision. It is time to move forward. We wish him all the best. Ill bet you that Greater Medias Peter Smyth and market manager Phil Redo are also thinking: If only And attorneys and agents around the country will be parsing the meaning of this case for a long time, since the right-to-match clause is pretty common in contracts. Im guessing that everybody drops the lawsuits (begun by Howie, to seek a clear path to his exit), and its back to work.
So Howie's back at PM drive-time and Imus is back in the AM. This will kill RKO's felon-in-morning show.
If only . . . 'RKO weren't run by idiots . . . ;-)
I just hate seein Howie havin to make bricks without any straw.
EXTREMELY unprofessional.
Gonna be a pretty interesting show today.
from today's Herald
Welcome back, Carr
Popular talk-show returns to RKO
By Jessica Heslam | Friday, November 16, 2007 | http://www.bostonherald.com
Boston radio host Howie Carr plans to return to his familiar seat behind the WRKO microphone today while rival WTKK will announce that shock jock Don Imus will be back on its airwaves next month - in the morning-drive slot that was set to go to Carr.
Carrs move back to his old afternoon-drive show on WRKO (680) comes four months after he dropped a bombshell and launched a legal battle to jump ship to WTKK (96.9).
Well get along fine, said Carr, who said he prefers to be on afternoons on WRKO but wouldnt elaborate. I worked there for two months after I announced I wasnt going to be there. It is what it is. Ill be fine.
I missed being on the radio, added Carr, who is also a Herald columnist.
WRKO said Carrs contract runs until 2012. Carr wouldnt discuss the details of his contract. When asked if WTKK was out of the picture forever, Carr said, Who knows what the future holds?
Carr has been off the air since September, the start of the crucial fall ratings period, and WRKO lost key listeners without its money-making star.
According to the first phase of the fall ratings released yesterday and obtained by the Herald, WRKOs afternoon-drive show with fill-in Todd Feinburg had a 2.7 share and was in 14th place among 25-to 54-year-olds. Last year at this time, Carr had a 3.9 share and ranked eighth.
Sources say WTKK plans to announce today that Imus new syndicated show will be added to its lineup next month. Less than a year after the nappy-headed hos scandal, Imus landed a radio show on New Yorks WABC-AM, which begins Dec. 3.
Carr had struck a deal in July worth up to $7 million with WTKK, but the courts blocked him from crossing town.
A statement from WTKK said the station is disappointed Carr wont be joining its lineup at this time.
Meanwhile, WRKO parent Entercom Vice President Julie Kahn said she was thrilled to have Carr back.

You're Never Too Old
MYSTIC, CONNECTICUT -- For 91 years, James Henry, a lifelong fisherman, did not know how to read and write.
Now 98, the Mystic, Connecticut man has changed that and penned a memoir full of short stories.
Henry said it was his ambition to learn since he was young, but life's obstacles always got in the way.
"I felt so ashamed that I couldn't read or anything like that, but I covered myself pretty good in certain respects. I had to because I didn't know what to do," Henry said.
Although he sought his wife's help several years ago, she was too sick to teach him to read at the time.
After her death, Henry's granddaughters encouraged him to start learning again and were able to get help from the Literacy Volunteers of Eastern Connecticut.
His granddaughters weren't the only ones to push him toward his goal of literacy.
His nephew Bobby stopped taking phone calls from him and only communicated with Henry through handwritten letters.
Mark Hogan, a retired East Lyme High School English teacher, met with Henry twice a week and taught him everything from letters to punctuation.
"He was very willing to do this thing, but he had his own prejudices against things like punctuation, apostrophes, he called them butterflies," Hogan said.
After nearly a year of tutoring, Henry was writing stories by hand on a yellow legal pad.
From those short stories, the memoir "A Fisherman's Language" was born.
One of the last pages of Henry's memoir is a picture of a letter he wrote to his nephew.
Henry's granddaughter, Marlisa McLaughlin, said the book's real message is to never give up.
"I don't even know if I've digested the magnitude of this because it's touching so many," McLaughlin said.

Back To The Drawing Board
MAYVILLE – The dust from Wednesday's legislature meeting is settling as County Executive Greg Edwards looks to the future of the Chautauqua County Nursing Home.
Wednesday, the legislature did not come up with the 17 votes required to sell the County Home to William (Avi) Rothner of Altitude Health Services. Instead, it came up just one vote shy of the number. However, 18 legislators said they would be in favor of selling the home to the right purchaser. And, although the resolution passed with the majority vote, County Attorney Steve Abdella made it clear that if the sale of the home should come up again, it would still need a supermajority vote in order to be sold.
"If there is another contract presented for sale, pursuant to local law 775 as it stands right now, it will require a two-thirds vote," Abdella said.
Following the meeting, Edwards said he planned to speak with Marcus & Millichap, the firm marketing the County Home, to let them know the decision of the legislature. However, he said the window of opportunity is getting smaller.
"I think it gets harder and harder. When we first did this, we had one buyer. One offer to buy," Edwards said. "As costs continue to go up, as New York gets to be a harder and harder place to deliver medical care, as New York gets closer and closer to managed Medicare and Medicaid, then that has a process of closing that window, because all those all increase costs."
Marcus & Millichap is under contract with the county through the end of the year. Edwards said he will continue to work with the company in order to find a purchaser legislators will deem appropriate.
"I know that they're committed to trying to help us accomplish the goal that was set out for them," Edwards said. "That was finding buyers and putting together a deal that could enable us to privatize the County Home and eliminate this $3 million loss per year."
Edwards expressed concern over the amount of time and money that will be associated with keeping the home. He said that between Wednesday and the legislature's February meeting, the home will lose substantial amounts of money.
"For every 30 days that goes by, it is another $250,000 in taxpayer dollars that gets spent to provide care for what the purchaser was willing to do, cost us nothing and, in fact, pay property tax on and pay sales tax for all the purchases that he makes," Edwards said. "It is discouraging, but I believe it's the right decision, so we'll continue to find ways to present this in a way that we can get this matter concluded."

Here's how RW members rated this race (476 votes).
In short: Wet, Wet, Wet!In full: although this was the wettest race i have run in so far, i thoroughly enjoyed it and would do it again. Would rather a medal at the end but a T-Shirt is a nice reminder. Date of review: November 13, 2012
In full: Ran this race in 2003, never forgot it as I classed it as a 'PW' - Personal Wettest, rather than Personal Worst, as all the rain we hadn't had in the previous 6 months landed on Marlow that morning and the course was flooded in places. Then moved away in 2005, but decided a few months ago it might be good to come back to do the race again, thinking how pretty it could be if it was a sunny Autumn day...ha ha!Though the rain did more or less stop soon after we set off, the course was even more flooded than 2003 - maybe it's my fault? The Weather Gods had noticed I was coming back? Perhaps it's time to rename the race Marlow Half Paddle-athon.Certainly made doubly sure I'll never forget this race!Date of review: November 12, 2012
In short: Great scenery with a few hills, brilliantIn full: A Fantastic race with a few tough hills, which were even more challenging due to the roads being flooded. I'm soo pleased the race wasn't cancelled, i loved it and will definitely be back next year.. Date of review: November 9, 2012
In short: Flooded Hilly ChilternsIn full: Wettest I've ever got. After torrential overnight rain the water was pouring off the Chilterns flooding all of the low points up to knee high at some points. And of course the usual steep hills. So, not for the faint hearted or any PBs this year, but it was a fantastic expoerience.Date of review: November 9, 2012
In short: Kayak anyone?In full: Weather was awful so course was officially flooded but that didn't stop the race taking place thankfully. Course is supposed to be hard and slow anyway but in places you were knee deep in water. Hill at mile 8 was really hard and made the final one at mile 11 easy by comparison.Brilliant last downhill mile to finish. No medal but nice t-shirt. Really enjoyed it even in the tricky conditions.Date of review: November 6, 2012
In short: Brilliant race as usual and made extra challenging this year by the weather.In full: Marlow was fantastic again and the flooding made it extra special! In all the years I've been running I've never run through so much freezing water, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The marshal's were very supportive in horrible conditions. Will be back again next year to run this very challenging race again:-)Date of review: November 6, 2012
In short: Well organised race despite the rainIn full: This continues to be a MUST DO race. Great course and scenery. Good support from the marshalls that endured the weather longer than us runners had to. Nice new touches lately with a text msg of our finishing time.Only requests: (a) Please can we have the cotton long sleeve t-shirts back? I think many ppl have technical t-shirts already that seem to last forever (b) if the forecast is similar in future years, some matting on the grass would help. 1000 ppl tramping up and down the demarked muddy areas left everyone as losers(ruined ground, dirty gym and shoes).Date of review: November 6, 2012
In short: WowIn full: A very special experience. The conditions were so bad it made for a brilliant event. Trying to find a dry patch to tun in was a waste of energy because as soon a your feet warmed up you were back splashing through another "river". Thought the rain had stopped for the start (or maybe i did not notice or care) and i am sure the sun came out for a while. Superb support, marshalling and organisation in very difficult circumstances. Well done to everbodyDate of review: November 5, 2012
In short: Running knee-deep through freezing water is good for you!In full: Big thanks to all marshalls - supportive and very hardy! I won't forget this one...Date of review: November 5, 2012
In short: Bonkers - running through torrents of water and deep freezing water.In full: Fifth time I have done Marlow Half so I must be bonkers. This one was special though, never run through so much water or had such frozen feet and legs. As ever will be back next year!Date of review: November 5, 2012

Paul Otellini, chief executive officer at Intel Corp., said that the demand towards system-on-chip (SoC) devices was set to grow and that at some point in future Intel would ship more SoCs than microprocessors. At present Intel pins a lot of hopes on SoCs featuring Atom processing cores, which means that such devices will hardly offer truly high computing performance.
"We already have over twelve 32nm SoCs in development at Intel coming out over the next couple of years. And, in fact, if I look forward, out, say, five years or so, I can easily see the point where Intel Corporation ships more SoC devices per year than standard microprocessors," said Paul Otellini during his keynote at Intel Developer Forum 2009.
It is rather logical for Intel to concentrate on system-on-chip devices: the vast majority of SoCs power miniature electronics, including mobile Internet devices, portable digital media players, video game consoles, consumer electronics, embedded applications, communication equipment, cell phones, in-car entertainment systems and many other types of computing devices. The total available market for SoCs is naturally considerably higher compared to that of central processing units (CPUs).
At present low-power electronics is based on ARM microprocessors developed by various companies. Software developed for ARM is not compatible with x86 processors and vice versa. This is exactly why Intel is starting to support software designers that would develop programs aimed at aforementioned types of electronics and x86 chips.
To encourage the creation of innovative applications for Intel Atom processor-based products, Intel this week launched the Intel Atom Developer Program for independent software vendors (ISVs) and developers.
The program provides a framework for developers to create and sell software applications for netbooks with support for handhelds and smart phones available in the future. Through the program, developers seeking to reduce overhead and streamline the creation of new applications may also license development tools and application modules directly from other independent developers and ISVs.
To provide the broadest choice of applications across platforms, the Intel Atom Developer Program will support multiple operating systems and run-time environments. Run-times enable developers to use a single code base to support multiple device platforms and avoid extensive reprogramming, thereby reducing development costs and time-to-market.
The program offers a streamlined and transparent process that will take the developer from application creation through testing and, finally, to the go-to-market stage. Intel is working with netbook original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and other partners to create application storefronts through which validated applications will be sold.
Members of IADP will be given access to tools and resources that will aid the pre-development process. The Intel Atom Developer Program software development kits will be available to members in late fall.

Bieber adds tour dates, including July 3 in Dallas; tickets on sale Friday
Justin Bieber announced this a.m. that he would be extending his tour by 30 shows "due to overwhelming demand," something I don't doubt at all. This makes American Airlines Center one lucky venue, with the Dallas date set for July 3.
Tickets go on sale starting Friday, Dec. 14. If you're feeling particularly VIP, for a few hundred dollars you can meet-n-greet and take a photo with the pop star, and grab some signed goodies before taking a seat in the first five rows. For $225 and slightly below there are myriad other VIP options; all comes with varying shades of high-quality merch.
Biebs will have a few months to recuperate; the current leg of the tour is scheduled to end in late April in Finland.
The Believe World Tour will start up again June 22 in San Diego. Plans are for it to end in Atlanta on Aug. 10, 2013. Go to see him as many times as your fluttering hearts will allow: A cool dollar from each ticket sold will go to Pencils of Promise, a charity that funds the building of schools and other educational opportunities in developing countries.
Is Justin Bieber a teen angel? Not during his pedestrian Dallas concert
