Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Hello, I'm a moderator for this topic. I've been working hard to find a professional to assist you right away, but sometimes finding the right professional can take a little longer than expected. I wonder whether you're ok with continuing to wait for an answer. Please let me know and I will assist further. Thank you!
Sure, I can wait. Odd that this question is so difficult. Or maybe not, it seems complicated to me! :)
Seeking expert testimony is a sign of strength. A personal relationship with a caring professional is proven clinically effective.Dear concerned parent,I believe I can help you with this situation.I have run a drug counseling program at the local jail for several years, as a volunteer.I rarely see a person with a problem from marijuana use, and that is usually associated with other mental disorders.It is not physically addictive, although some people use it too often, which is a diversion from doing other more constructive activities, although some creative people use it and work and achieve at a very high level.Some of the best students smoke pot and get the hightest grades, and some perform certain skills at a higher level under the influence then not.I do not recommend it, but it is much better to use cannabis then to use alcohol or any other drugs, all of which are damaging and potentially dangerous.I do not use it but I did many years ago and I have accomplished a great deal in my life at a high level of achievment.Onced again, I do not recommend it or promote it, but I do not think it is a problem. At your son's school almost all go on to college.I also taught at the college level (sociology, anthropology, and mental health) and know that a lot of my students, often the best, XXXXX XXXXX herb.The big drawback is that it is illegal and can get a person into trouble and give them a criminal record.It is being de-criminalized as the governments begin to take a more common sense approach and find ways to tax it.It seems that there is nothing that you can really do as this is acceptable in his peer group and all of your warnings mean nothing when his experiences tell him otherwise. You can tell him that you do not approve and warn him about the legal consequences and then further repercussions about his future if he gets caught.For a different point of view than the one promoted by the liquor industry (which successfull lobbied for marijuana criminalization back in the 1930s), you might look at this book.
One again, I think that NOT smoking pot is BETTER than smoking pot, but the biggest drawback is the legal issue, and is quite important.
I wish you great sucess in continuing to raise a good young man. He will turn out fine.
Tell him what you think but don't let this drive a wedge between you.
If it was alcohol or any other drug, I would give you a very different answer, but U urge you to be reasonable and let him grow up.
I shall keep your family in my prayers.
Warm regards,
Elliott, MAE, LPCC, NCC, CCMHC
Thank you Elliott for that good information. I feel better for sure.
In our state, there is only a small fine for possessing less than 1 oz, it is no longer criminal. Of course if he sells it or has more, that would be a huge problem.
My son is not a good student. He lacks motivation to the point that he would almost rather fail than put effort into an assignment. He gets D's and has been on the border of failing courses several times. He is late to school virtually every day. We have been trying to figure out his problem; he only says that school is boring and he is lazy. I thought my discovery of his drug use could help explain the issue. Doesn't it hurt motivation? Takes the stress off the situation so you can deal with the stress of your life caused by parents harping on you and school work that you don't want to do. He scored very well on SAT and standardized tests (not genius, but high or above average). I also wonder how he funds it, he doesn't have a job and we don't just give him money.
How much can I attribute these issues to drug use? I don't believe his drug use is daily, perhaps once a week; but I don't know yet. I haven't spoken to him yet, I'm trying to figure out what to say!!!
Thanks again!
Elliott, thank you for your excellent posts. If you don't mind, I will direct more questions to you as a proceed. Just to fill you in as I close out this question. He is diagnosed with ADD (although it seems no "H" for hyperactivity is involved). He has sort-of an addiction to video games and such as he finds them soothing. He does have a girl friend who is got deeply involved with very quickly and they spend hours together every day all summer (they are sexually active). After much pushing, the was tested at the High School in his Jr Year and put on an Ed plan for executive functioning (organization). We have him seeing a counselor who specializes in ADD and addictive behavior. He finally has a glimmer of interest for a particular college, but didn't put in enough effort to get the grades to get into that college. So, that's where we are and working to improve.
Thank you again for the great info, as I said, if you don't mind I will direct more questions to you!

Star Wars: Empire at War
Review by jetman123
"Once you get over the cinematic camera angle, you realize it is, wasn't, and won't ever be an actual strategy game, nor any kind of fun to play."
So. Star Wars: Empire at War. The game I was told did everything right. The game that I was told took what was wrong with Rebellion (an excellent game) and made it right.
It was the worst sixty dollars I EVER spent, and that is a high regard over all the other absolutely crappy strategy games I have produced. But I didn't realize that at first. At first I loved it. At first I was facinated. At first I was awed. At first I felt like I was in the movies. But once I finished playing around with the cinematic camera view, I quickly realized that it was yet another crappy "strategy" game that hardly deserves the title of strategy game at all. Only a brain-dead monkey would derive enjoyment out of playing this breed of game, a game that has no strategy involved whatsoever despite being classified as a strategy game. It is yet another "omgzzzzzzz make teh best units and sendz 20201 of them at teh enemeh base and j00 winz0r!!11!1oneshifteleven1!!!" and I am getting awfully tired of them.
Graphics - 9/10
Excellent graphics. Ships look smooth and detailed, animations aren't choppy and look fluid, and it really captures the feel of Star Wars - it makes you feel as if you are a part of the movies. Well, at least for a while, but I'll get to that in a minute. The cinematic camera angle is gorgeous - if you do get this game (which I strongly reccomend you not to) you will probably play around in it for a while. It's fun watching an Acclamator class star destroyer explode before your eyes, and fighters move very realistically making you feel as if it's really the movies.
Sadly, this is one of the two only good qualities the game has, the other being sound. And this most definitely is not an interactive movie - it's a game. The gameplay is the important part. They succeeded in making you feel as if you were in the movies, but failed at any kind of actual enjoyment of the game-playing experience.
Sound - 8/10
Classic John Williams stuff. Fits in well with the action and transitions based upon the situation, from the peaceful "panning down on a planet after the opening text crawl" to the Hoth asteroid field "Here They Come!". It contibutes well to the feel of the game, but again, the point is the gameplay, not the sound or graphics.
Gameplay - 1/10
Ah, now here we get to the rotten center of the sheening apple.
Once you get over the cinematic camera angle, once you get over the thrill of the star-warsy action, you realize that there is no intelligence involved in it whatsoever. It is yet another game where the winner is determined entirely by who clicks on the buttons the fastest in the right order. It is mind-boringly dull. There are godmode units everywhere, from the Rebel airspeeder to the Imperial Star Destroyer, both of which are severely unbalanced.
They say it's a strategy game. They could not be more wrong. This isn't a strategy game. This is a BUTTON-MASHING game, just like so many other so called "strategy" games. A real strategy game forces you to think about what you're doing. A real strategy game is where one strategy never works all the time. A real strategy game is where there's variety, where there's a counter for everything and where you have to think logically and tactically about what to send where.
A strategy game does not, in any way, shape, or form, depend entirely upon units, brain-dead minor tactics, or how fast you can click the production buttons. Yet this seems to be what LucasArts think a strategy game has, and it is all this game needs for you to win.
The galactic map is real-time. Time moves far too fast for you to formulate any kind of plan (not that it would ever actually help you anyway, it only matters that you've got enough airspeeders when you raid the planet) and you have no time to react or plan a defense if you get a message about an incoming enemy. Both ground and space combat depend ENTIRELY upon how many units the enemy has and how many you have. How is this strategy? How can ANYONE call this STRATEGY?
Strategy does not depend on reflexes. Strategy depends on thinking. There is no thinking involved in this game. There are only reflexes.
It isn't a strategy game, folks. Pure and simple, this game is entirely mis-genred, like so many others.
I wish I could point out something positive about all the button-mashing "strategy". But there isn't. I can't find a single reason anyone who actually isn't brain dead or enjoys strategy actually enjoying this game, nor any of the other hundreds of mislabeled strategy games out there, which also depend solely upon who can click the buttons the fastest.
They could have done it. They could have done it like Rebellion. That was an amazing game that was released before it's time. Yet they took the core concept and then put it through the shredder, then assembled the bits into a fighting game loosely disguised as an RTS. I can't beleive LucasArts would do this. Worst of all, I can hardly beleive they're MAKING MONEY OFF OF IT. Do yourself a favor, do not buy this game if you like strategy. It will be a blow against actual RTSes everywhere. As long as LucasArts wants to publish misgenred button-mashers like this, they don't deserve my money, your money, or anyone who actually likes strategy games' money.
Story - 5/10
It takes place a few years before A New Hope. That was about as far as I got before I realized it was a button-masher. I'm serious, I never played the game past that point and I saw no point to, because, how do you say this, THE CAMPAIGN ON EASY IS NEAR COMPLETELY UNWINNABLE DUE TO THE GROSS UNBALANCE OF UNITS AND UTTER LACK OF STRATEGY.
Should you buy this?
If you actually want strategy, don't buy this game. NEVER BUY THIS GAME IF YOU ARE EXPECTING TO LOGICALLY THINK THROUGH AND USE YOUR SKILLS IN STRATEGICAL CHOICES TO HELP YOU WIN, AS IT FACTORS INTO NO PART OF THE GAME. The only reason you should ever buy this game is if you are a fighting-game lover and love seeing who can push the buttons the fastest. If you actually want strategy, go buy Panzer General. Go buy Axis and Allies. Go buy Dawn Of War. Go buy Star Wars Rebellion. Those, folks, are the real strategy games. Not poor, shoddy, thinly disgused button-mashers like this one.

I would revisit the 1881 census and try variations of the name
Pearson -especially if you are searching on the 1881 census on CD Rom. My
ancestors, though correctly written as HAMERSLEY on the microfilm record,
are incorrectly listed as HAMERSBY on the CD Rom! If it weren't for the
fact that I had already viewed the microfilm many years ago (and recorded
the information), I would never have found them on the new technology!
Victorian handwriting can sometimes be difficult to decipher - especially
when viewing on micrfilm. Consequently, LE can be easily mistaken for a B.
This might have happened in your case and the "Pe" maybe a "B". Failing
this, Pearson can be spelt in many different ways - Peerson, Pearsen,
Pierson - etc etc. Computerised indexes are so precise that you have to try
all variants if you don't find something that should have been.
Good luck

Now one might think given my political leanings that hereditary privilege would be an anathema to me. But I have to say that having witnessed three days of wondrous celebration on the diamond jubilee of her Majesty the Queen one thing I can say about us Brits, we know how to throw a party! The pomp, the ceremony, the pageantry, the mix of old tradition with the new. The celebration of the Commonwealth, the thousands that thronged the streets. The flotilla on the Thames, the concert, the flyby. The wonderful sense that we are an ancient nation. Makes you proud.
We live in a time of cynicism, a time of austerity. But a nation stood up this weekend and celebrated all that makes us us. It was lovely to be witness to such a great event. Now bring on the platinum jubilee. Three cheers to her Majesty!

RI's dancing cop returns to Providence
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Rhode Island's dancing cop is returning to the streets of Providence for the holidays.
Retired police officer Tony Lepore plans to entertain motorists and pedestrians at the intersection of Dorrance and Westminster streets from noon to 1:30 p.m. weekdays beginning Tuesday and running through Christmas Eve.
The 66-year-old Lepore began injecting dance moves into his police work in 1984 while directing traffic in downtown Providence.
After Lepore retired the city invited him back to direct traffic during the holidays. Since then he's taken his show on the road as a performer appearing at schools and on national television shows.

On Monday, I made a case for why I felt the Street was still underestimating Sirius XM (NASDAQ:SIRI). Not surprisingly, though, I got a few emails from readers wondering, "How can a stock that has already gained close to 25% on the year when factoring its $3.59 high, be discounted?" It's a fair question. The answer is hidden in how the company's valuation is assessed. But I'm realizing while the Street has been correcting its error over the past year, analysts still don't fully understand this company.
The valuation equation
The market is sometimes presumed to always be right. Depending on your frame of mind, sometimes this can work for you or against you. In that regard, a company's valuation is based on quite a bit of assumptions, some of which takes into account things like market dynamics, a company's performance history, management's guidance etc.
However, these metrics, as broad as they are, can fluctuate up or down depending on the news that may adversely impact or improve the competitive landscape of that company. In other words, stay on your toes. For Sirius XM, however, which has essentially doubled over the past year from $1.79 at the beginning of 2012 to $3.59 last week, there has been several mistakes along the way made by Street analysts, including under-projecting the rise in auto sales and an improved consumer spending environment.
Since projections are based on forward-looking assumptions, I think it's safe to assume here that the Street will continue to make these sorts of mistakes. The winners have been the retail investors, many of whom have ignored arguments from guys like me that had gotten this incredible story wrong in the past. But I've learned. And at this point, it's about the future. And since the start of the year, I think I've figured out how this company is going to continue to be a goldmine for retail investors. This is what's we've been discussing over the past couple of weeks. We've been looking at three things.
The three keys to success
The keys to Sirius' long-term growth recipe are three ingredients. Not necessarily in this order, but the company needs to continue retiring debt, increase its EBITDA and as it has been known to do very well, build its cash position. We can disagree about the priority order of these objectives, but we have to agree that they are the important metrics to Sirius' execution. So far, I have been impressed with how this company has performed in each of these categories.
In fact, Sirius only needed to do one of these things well to get the stock going. However, and remarkably, the company has done an impressive job in all three. If you were wondering how I've become so bullish after being bearish for all of last year, these are the metrics that I've begun to focus on. As these metrics improve, the stock has grown. And so far, Sirius has shown no meaningful signs of slowing down.
The upward correction to $4.00
However, investors have to understand why these metrics are so important and why I believe Sirius is still undervalued. What's beginning to stir the pot is Sirius' ongoing share buyback program. The Street has not adequately adjusted their models to factor in the effect of a reduced float. This throws off their enterprise value (EV) and EBITDA calculations. This is why I've argued that $4.00 per share is more realistic sometime in the third quarter.
For those who are unfamiliar, the market has historically priced SIRI by taking into account Sirius' EV and dividing that number by the company's EBITDA, which stands for Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization. To understand how to arrive at the enterprise value, you take Sirius' debt and then add in the amount of the float outstanding, while adjusting out the cash. You then take that number and divide it by the EBITDA. There's nothing wrong with this equation.
However, consider this; Sirius' operating cash flow, which serves as its key to debt reduction and stock buyback has soared 322% to $170 million. Just to give you an idea of how impressive this is, the industry average cash-flow growth rate is -3.04%. The market is realizing this error each quarter and has no choice but to correct its mistake with a higher share price.
But here's the problem; the market has only been focusing on what Sirius has reported. While there's nothing wrong with that, it doesn't always reflect Sirius' real value, especially when the market fails to understand that Sirius will outperform its guidance. This is why the stock has been consistently going up. Essentially, "the market has been correcting its error upwards." This is the opposite of the downward correction - hence why the stock has doubled over the past year, while outperforming all the major indexes.
Bottom Line
I'm trying hard to not sound like too much of a "fanboy" here, but Sirius' prospects are looking good, which is an understatement, especially in an improving economy. What's more, factor in how Sirius plans to return capital to shareholders through its stock buyback program, which (at the same time) increases the enterprise value and EBITDA calculation, retail investors are looking smarter than the Street for hanging on.

Australian researchers have "resurrected" part of the blood of an extinct woolly mammoth, revealing how these giants were able to survive the freezing Arctic.
They recreated the oxygen-carrying protein, haemoglobin, from mammoth DNA found in the Siberian permafrost.
The director of the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA at the University of Adelaide, Alan Cooper, said it was the first experiment of its kind.
"It's the same as the protein you would get if you went back 30,000 years and stuck a needle in a mammoth and got its blood," he said. "We effectively brought it back to life."
The ancestors of modern elephants and mammoths evolved in a warm climate in Africa about 7 million years ago. Mammoths were the only branch of the family to migrate north successfully into the colder parts of Europe about 1.2 to 2 million years ago, evolving small ears and tails, and a woolly coat to conserve heat.
Professor Cooper said human haemoglobin does not release oxygen well in freezing conditions, which starves extremities of oxygen, leading to frostbite and gangrene.
The research showed, however, that mammoth haemoglobin had a radically different structure which meant it still worked well in cold temperatures.
This would have helped the Ice Age mammals survive because they did not have to waste energy keeping their extremities, including their all-important trunks, warm. "We can see how evolution worked in real time to come up with this strategy."
Professor Cooper said the exciting possibility is that their approach could be used on other extinct species, such as our close extinct relatives, Neanderthals.
Sequencing the Neanderthal genome will be completed soon, revealing the genetic codes for their proteins, which may be different to ours. Recreating the proteins and studying their properties might throw light on human diseases, he said.
The mammoth study by the international team, including Kevin Campbell of the University of Manitoba in Canada, is published in the journal Nature Genetics. Researchers first worked out the mammoth's haemoglobin genes sequence from DNA found in bones of a 43,000-year-old specimen in Siberia.
Elephant genes were altered to match the mammoth genes, before being inserted into bacteria which then produced the mammoth haemoglobin.
A variety of tests were carried out to determine its different characteristics, including the insensitivity to cold.

Pontiac Problems? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
You will need a metric socket set and ratchet as well as a torque wrench to complete these repairs. You will also need a jack and a jack stand to safely support the vehicle while performing repairs. If the rear brakes are drum brakes, a set of brake spring pliers will also be necessary. Here is the procedure to replace the rear hub/bearing.
Rear Wheel Bearing and Hub Replacement (FWD) Removal Procedure
Installation Procedure
Tighten Tighten the bolts to 61 N·m (45.0 lb ft).
I am replacing the rear brakes at the same time as doing the hub/bearing, is there anything special I should know? Is there anything you can tell me to make this process easier? Does it automatically reset once installed? I am also doing the front brakes.
Also, the links above for the removal/istallation process won't link. It is telling me we are not authorized to view it. Tnx
When replacing the brake shoes, do one side at a time. That way if you get into a bind you can look at the other side to see how things go back together. There is an adjustment for the rear drum brakes at the adjuster wheel. (toothed wheel at between brake shoes at the lower edge). Adjust until there is very slight drag while turning brake drum. There is an access slot in the backing plate that will allow adjustment with a screwdriver.
The front disk brakes have no adjustment. To install the pads you will have to compress the caliper piston back into the caliper bore. This is most easily done with a C-clamp. The front brakes will adjust themselves after the brake pedal is pumped a few times. Make sure to pump up the brakes prior to driving the vehicle.

Now that former Hart County star Ben Leard is back in uniform for Auburn, the junior said Tuesday he's ready to begin concentrating on a more pressing matter -- getting the Tigers back on the winning track.
Tommy Tuberville's Plainsmen jumped out to a 3-0 start but have dropped three straight after last Saturday's devastating 18-16 loss to Mississippi State, a game the Tigers led 16-3.
''It took me all day to realize we'd been beaten,'' Leard said during Tuesday's session with the media. ''We didn't play well offensively, but we beat Mississippi State for four quarters. You have to tip your cap to them, they never gave up.''
Now, Leard said, it's up to the Tigers to do the same.
The quarterback said he was concerned with what effect the loss would have on the Tigers going into Saturday's game against Florida. He's not worried any more.
"Everybody's still plugging away,'' Leard said. ''Everybody is excited. The Gators are coming to town. To have an opportunity to play them and beat them is something we welcome. We're working hard. We're not going to quit.''
Alexander on Heisman roll
Once considered a long shot for the Heisman Trophy, Alabama tailback Shaun Alexander is suddenly very much in the picture.
A four-touchdown performance two weeks ago against Florida has vaulted Alexander into the race for college football's most coveted award. Even though No. 11 Alabama (4-1) was off last week, Alexander had moved up dramatically on most of the charts by Monday.
CBS Sportsline had Alexander listed as the favorite and CNN/SI had him second, behind Georgia Tech quarterback Joe Hamilton.
Amazing, considering Alexander wasn't listed among the top picks on any charts before the season started -- despite the campaign Crimson Tide officials had launched for him.
Alabama has never before touted a player for an award because former coach Bear Bryant didn't believe in it. That's one reason the highest an Alabama player has ever finished in the voting was third when David Palmer did it in 1993.
But when Alexander chose to return to school for his senior season, coach Mike DuBose promised to help him win the Heisman.
DuBose has done his part by giving Alexander the ball at least 30 times a game. And the school has created an Alexander web site and sent out a CD-ROM of highlights to Heisman voters.
They've left the rest up to Alexander.
Madkin back at practice
Mississippi State quarterback Wayne Madkin, who tore a tendon in the middle finger of his throwing hand, has returned to practice.
A pin was surgically placed into Madkin's injured finger on Monday, Bulldogs coach Jackie Sherrill said Wednesday.
Madkin suffered the injury in the first half of the 12th-ranked Bulldogs' 18-16 victory at Auburn on Saturday when his hand came down on another player's helmet.
With the torn tendon, Madkin was unable to bend the finger and couldn't grip the football properly.
''Put a pin in there, it will keep it slightly bent and you won't really feel it or notice it,'' Sherrill said. ''He can still bend the finger at the knuckle. The last finger that comes off the ball is the index finger, so he can still grip the ball and still be able to throw it.''
With Madkin injured, senior Matt Wyatt, a former starter, came in and led the Bulldogs to two touchdowns in the final two-and-a-half minutes of the game. Wyatt hit 17 of 29 passes for 209 yards.
Cutcliffe understands responsibility
Now comes the responsibility for 22nd-ranked Mississippi.
The Rebels (5-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) are not only in The Associated Press poll for the first time this season, they are preparing to play 11th-ranked Alabama (4-1, 3-0) in a nationally televised game.
''Along with rankings and opportunities come responsibilities, and you just have to respond,'' Ole Miss coach David Cutcliffe said. ''Our players have to show the maturity and prepare to get ready to play in big games. This is a great opportunity.''
More important for the Rebels than being in the poll or playing on CBS-TV is the chance to beat one of the teams ahead of them in the SEC Western Division standings.
''Obviously it's a big game since we already have a conference loss and they don't. From that perspective, it certainly would be a big win,'' Cutcliffe said during his weekly news conference on the Oxford campus.

NBC's new sitcoms "About a Boy" and "Growing Up Fisher" are somewhat unusual for 21st-century network TV. They will both warm your heart.
They're both about nontraditional families. They're both pretty funny. Sometimes hilarious.
They're both full of characters you will like. Characters you'll enjoy spending time with every week.
"About a Boy" is based on Nick Hornsby's novel that inspired the 2002 movie. David Walton stars as Will, a ladies' man/slacker who's living off royalties from a song he wrote years ago. He doesn't like kids and he's totally self-involved — until 11-year-old Marcus (Benjamin Stockman) moves in next door with his uptight vegan mother, Fiona (Minnie Driver).

settings---symmetric or asymmetric (leveled) k-linear groups---and by
proving \"computational soundness\" theorems for the symbolic models.
Based on this result, we formulate a very general master theorem that formally relates the hardness of a (possibly interactive) assumption in these models to solving problems in polynomial algebra. Then, we systematically analyze these problems. We identify different classes of assumptions and obtain decidability and undecidability results.
Then, we develop and implement automated procedures for verifying the conditions of master theorems, and thus the validity of hardness assumptions in generic group models. The concrete outcome of this work is an automated tool which takes as input the statement of an assumption, and outputs either a proof of its
generic hardness or shows an algebraic attack against the assumption.
eavesdrop on tamper-resistant hardware. They use a profiling step to
compute the parameters of a multivariate normal distribution from a
training device and an attack step in which the parameters obtained
during profiling are used to infer some secret value (e.g.
cryptographic key) on a target device. Evaluations using the same
device for both profiling and attack can miss practical problems
that appear when using different devices. Recent
studies showed that variability caused by the use of either
different devices or different acquisition campaigns on the same
device can have a strong impact on the performance of template
attacks. In this paper, we explore further the effects that lead to
this decrease of performance, using four different Atmel XMEGA 256
A3U 8-bit devices. We show that a main difference between devices is
a DC offset and we show that this appears even if we use the same
device in different acquisition campaigns. We then explore several
variants of the template attack to compensate for these differences.
Our results show that a careful choice of compression method and
parameters is the key to improving the performance of these attacks
across different devices. In particular we show how to maximise the
performance of template attacks when using Fisher\'s Linear
Discriminant Analysis or Principal Component Analysis. Overall, we
can reduce the entropy of an unknown 8-bit value below 1.5 bits even
when using different devices.
In this work, we construct the first leveled fully homomorphic signature schemes that can evaluate arbitrary circuits over signed data, where only the maximal depth $d$ of the circuit needs to be fixed a priori. The size of the evaluated signature grows polynomially in $d$, but is otherwise independent of the circuit size or the data size. Our solutions are based on the hardness of the small integer solution (SIS) problem, which is in turn implied by the worst-case hardness of problems in standard lattices. We get a scheme in the standard model, albeit with large public parameters whose size must exceed the total size of all signed data. In the random-oracle model, we get a scheme with short public parameters. These results offer a significant improvement in capabilities and assumptions over the best prior homomorphic signature scheme due to Boneh and Freeman (Eurocrypt \'11).
As a building block of independent interest, we introduce a new notion called homomorphic trapdoor functions (HTDF). We show to how construct homomorphic signatures using HTDFs as a black box. We construct HTDFs based on the SIS problem by relying on a recent technique developed by Boneh et al. (Eurocrypt \'14) in the context of attribute based encryption.
difficult to identify the solution that performs best in a respective scenario, especially since they were not all implemented and compared in the same setting.
In this work, we give an overview on existing PSI protocols that are secure against semi-honest adversaries. We take advantage of the most recent efficiency improvements in OT extension to propose significant optimizations to previous PSI protocols and to suggest a new PSI protocol whose runtime is superior to that of existing protocols. We compare the performance of the protocols both theoretically and experimentally, by implementing all protocols on the same platform, and give recommendations on which protocol to use in a particular setting.

Green and Pleasant Land
I can certainly understand why the Cotswolds have been declared an area of outstanding natural beauty. Even if the names of the villages make you feel like you're in an episode of Midsomer Murders. Lower Slaughter, Upper Slaughter, Moreton-on-the-Marsh, Chipping Norton, Chipping Camden, Stow-on-the-Wold and our favourite, which luckily is the one we are staying in, Bourton-on-the-Water. We picked up a walking map from the information centre and explored the village by foot. It has beautiful golden honeycomb coloured Cotswold stone houses, rolling green fields and the willow tree lined river Windrush runs through the centre of town. The river has stone bridges that that cross where the old fords used to be. There is still one ford there, strangely enough it seems to be at the deepest part of the river! The town has a maze, which as you make your way through you have to find and solve clues. If and when you make it to the centre you need to solve the riddle in order to find the golden dragonfly! We thought it'd be a good laugh and was actually trickier than we thought. We managed to solve the riddle (well most of it) and make our way back out. The village also has a 1/9th scale model village. I'd never seen a model village before. They have replicated it exactly and we even found our apartment. They even included a 1/9th scale model of the model village in the model village
In the afternoon we took a drive to Tewkesbury, famous for the battle during the War of the Roses in 1471. A lot of the old medieval town still remains. The following weekend after our visit they were having a medieval festival, we won't be able to make it, but it might have been interesting, even if a little nerdy.
After driving back to Bourton we strolled down to one of the local pubs, The Old Manse, for a drink and some dinner and then back to play with our techno gadgets at the apartment!

Why is it that the most popular kids are always the least liked?!
Yes, Facebook was voted the social network with the lowest customer service ranking according to the 2011 American Customer Satisfaction Index (ASCI) Report.
The survey, compiled by ForeSee Results, polled approximately 70,000 consumers about the way they feel about various websites, search engines, and social networks.
When compared to other social sites like YouTube, MySpace, and the conversation-driven Wikipedia, Facebook ranked dead last with a 66% customer satisfaction rate.
Despite the low ranking, Facebook customer's satisfaction actually went up two points from last year's 64% rating.
Wikipedia came out on top with a score of 78% and YouTube ranked second with 74%. MySpace, sadly, didn't even have enough users to be listed separately in the survey. Womp womp.
In the other ASCI report categories, Google was ranked as the leader in search engine customer satisfaction with 83%, compared to last year's 79%. Microsoft's Bing was close behind with a score of 82%, up 7 points from 2010. For Microsoft, the higher customer satisfaction rating comes with a 9% increase in market share, giving Bing a 17% share.
Of course, Google's ranking could help push higher customer satisfaction for the Google+ social network, especially as Facebook's satisfaction ranking hovers at a dismal 66%.
"While Google+ is the challenger to Facebook's established dominance in the social-media sphere, in the search engine wars, Google is king, and Bing is hoping to be a contender," Larry Freed, CEO of ForeSee Results said in a statement.
"Last year, Google's customer satisfaction score was three points higher than Bing's. This year, that gap narrows to one point. Bing is showing it can challenge Google, in terms of revenue, market share, and the customer experience."
Facebook responded to the low customer satisfaction rating by telling CNET: "We take user feedback seriously, and strive to create a simple, fast, and innovative service that enables people to connect with their friends in a safe environment.
"More than half of our users visit Facebook every day, and we're constantly enhancing our products to offer people the best possible experience. Indeed, a report published last month by the Pew Internet and American Life Project highlighted the positive impact Facebook has had in people's lives."

United Nations, N.Y. (Sep. 4)
Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold insisted today that there was still existent in the Middle East "a basic will to peace. He said that the Arab-Israel armistice agreements–which Israel views as no longer valid–must be restored to effectiveness, and that the problem of the Arab refugees remains one of the "special responsibilities" of the United Nations.
Mr. Hammarskjold made these observations in the introduction to his annual report to the General Assembly. The report itself, addressed to the forthcoming twelfth session of the Assembly, convening September 17, was issued by the Secretary General several weeks ago. It has been his practice to file the introduction as a separate document each year just prior to the opening of the Assembly.
"In the Palestine question," he declared, "the United Nations has two special responsibilities." One of these is in regard to the armistice agreements endorsed by the Security Council. The other is the humanitarian responsibility for the Palestine refugees, who have been under United Nations jurisdiction for nine years now as homeless victims of events outside their control, while the problem of the repatriation or resettlement has remained unsolved by the governments upon whom rest their hopes for a life more consonant with human dignity.
"To work toward a restoration of the armistice agreements, primarily in their spirit but, in consequence, also in their letter," the Secretary General continued, "and to give constructive help to the refugees, are obligations of the first priority resting upon the Organization and its member governments."
"There continues to exist, I am convinced, a basic will to peace in the area despite whatever signs there may have been to the contrary," he declared. "I would be the last to minimize the very great difficulties that lie in the way of steps by governments which are necessary in order to translate this will to peace into concrete progress toward peaceful solutions. These difficulties nevertheless must be surmounted.
"The UN could not and, of course, should not attempt to do this alone," Mr. Hammarskjold added. "The governments concerned, with whom the power of decision rests, may not be able to do it alone. But the governments, strengthened by the help available from and within the United Nations can, and I hope will, decide to lead their peoples step by step upon this road toward a more secure and promising future for them all."
Mr. Hammarskjold paid high tribute to the UN Emergency Force. "The comparative quiet" in the area patrolled by UNEF "is a welcome symptom, "he said. However, the secretary General pointed out that "there have been few, if any, signs of further progress" from the stage of comparative quiet to peace in the area.
Elsewhere in the introduction, dealing with the Suez Canal problem, Mr. Hammarskjold made this specific point: "It should also be noted that the six-year-old question of Israeli shipping remains in dispute."

Firstly, don't let the above statistics about MS and longevity scare you or cloud your view of the future. There's just as much research out there showing that the way we view aging can influence our health, for better or worse.

A 2012 study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association found that older adults who held positive "age stereotypes" (for example, that age brings wisdom and self-realization rather than sickness and helplessness) had a higher level of functioning and were more able to recover from physical setbacks. It's in your best interest to find the more positive aspects of aging, such as more time on your hands or the opportunity to increase your spirituality, and to generally keep on the sunny side of life. Find things to look forward to as you get older. This is especially important, since it can serve as the counterbalance to the stress of MS symptoms.

Your body needs a variety of vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants from vegetables and other healthy foods in order to function and thrive. Do not neglect your nutrition as you age, or at any point in your journey with MS, as it can help keep your disease in check and prevent other chronic diseases.

Try to "eat the rainbow" of fruits and veggies every day—think berries with oatmeal for breakfast, a big green salad with grilled chicken at lunch, and piece of fish and roasted root vegetables over rice for dinner. Removing anti-inflammatory foods such as sugar, high-fat dairy (especially cheese), and processed foods has been shown to lower the risk of some diseases. In addition, many people with autoimmune diseases such as MS, rheumatoid arthritis, and others anecdotally report fewer symptom exacerbations while following an anti-inflammatory diet.

Exercise is critical in any healthy aging plan. Figure out ways you can exercise and get physical activity without overheating and triggering the effects of MS-related heat intolerance.

Focus on building your balance and flexibility. Your doctor can write you a prescription for physical therapy, which can help you build your muscles, improve balance, and move more efficiently. Ask trainers and instructors to help troubleshoot your mobility issues. A good yoga instructor, for example, should be able to help customize a routine for your body. Yoga for MS has been shown to be very helpful for some individuals.

Cognitive symptoms are common in both MS and in aging. Although not many medications can boost memory or other cognitive problems, there are steps you can take. (Note: there is a drug used for memory problems in people with Alzheimers disease called Aricept that is being tested in people with MS.)

Specialists such as neuropsychologists, psychologists, speech pathologists and occupational therapists can help with cognitive rehabilitation. You can be proactive by giving your brain a daily workout to preserve memory and sharpness. Try doing puzzles, playing memory games and challenging yourself with new thoughts, ideas, and puzzles. Be engaged and interested in the world and your brain will stay as sharp as possible.

Unregulated stress is unhealthy for anyone: It drains you of energy, worsens your sleep, and damages your long-term health. But for people with MS, stress can be particularly debilitating as it can interact with the immune system, trigger MS relapses, and worsen the intensity of symptoms.

Learn and practice relaxation techniques every day and prepare ahead of time for stressful situations by creating a relapse plan.

Your body has enough to cope with already: Don't make its job harder by being overweight. The extra weight on your body will create additional health conditions. Keep your diet balanced and healthy and be sure to get and stay active.

More and more studies are revealing the connection between strong social support and positive health outcomes. It stands to reason that having emotional outlets and feeling valued and important will lead to better health.

Research also shows that a solid support system may encourage patients to take their medications, keep doctor's appointments, and stay on top of their self-care and nutrition. It also has been shown to improve your mood and protect your brain from cognitive decline, as well as make life fun and interesting!

Join a few groups, perhaps even a support group for MS, and be sure to socialize with others as often as you can. Talk about your MS with your friends – it sometimes helps you feel better just to have someone listen. If you feel like withdrawing socially, very sad, or like you have lost interest in activities or people that you used to enjoy, you may have depression, a common MS symptom. Seek help for your depression from a doctor and don't suffer needlessly.

Stay on top of your treatments and doctor's appointments for MS. Find a doctor with whom you feel comfortable and can build a long-term relationship as you work as partners to keep you as healthy as possible. Be 100-percent compliant with your doctor's instructions, but do not be afraid to question them, express reluctance, and start a conversation if something suggested to you doesn't feel right.

Be sure that you are getting regular check-ups to monitor your MS, and once you and your doctor decide on a medication or treatment plan, follow it. A 2012 report in the journal Neurology showed that people with MS who take disease-modifying medications have a better life expectancy than those who don't.

Ask for help when you need it. Professional help is available for you if you have physical disability or are feeling depressed. Occupational therapists, physical therapists, and counselors can all help you overcome some of the symptoms of MS. You can also seek out support groups and other resources for help. Take an active role in improving your health by asking for help when you need it.

Fatigue is a huge problem in MS and when you do not get enough sleep during the night, that only makes things worse. Sleep disturbances are common in people with MS due to spasms, depression or anxiety, pain, the frequent need to urinate at night (nocturia), or because of side effects of medications (corticosteroids like Solu-Medrol are notorious for causing sleep disturbances).

Keep your energy levels as high as possible by creating strong sleep habits and see your doctor if your insomnia continues. By sleeping enough, sleeping soundly and falling asleep quickly, you will get the rest you need. This will help maintain your energy level.

Onion-Cheese Tart with Radicchio Salad
This pizza-like tart is made with free-form puff pastry topped with three cheeses—ricotta, Parmesan and Gruyère—bacon and onion. "It tastes a little like the white pizza I used to eat after surfing in Florida," says Vinny Dotolo. Jon Shook adds, "Actually, it tastes like the white pizza you'd eat after surfing in France."
- Total Time:
- Servings: 10
- 3/4 pound thick-sliced bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick strips
- 1 large red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/2 cup fresh ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 large egg yolks
- Salt
- 14 ounces all-butter puff pastry
- Egg wash made with 1 large egg yolk beaten with 1 tablespoon of water
- 6 ounces Gruyère cheese, shredded (2 cups)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 pound radicchio, cored and thinly sliced
- 1 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 400°. In a large skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat until crisp, about 6 minutes. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat in the skillet. Add the onion to the bacon. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the thyme and crushed red pepper and let cool.
In a bowl, mix the ricotta with the Parmigiano-Reggiano, garlic and the 2 egg yolks and season with salt.
Cut the puff pastry into 2 rectangles. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out each piece to a 13-by-8 1/2-inch rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. Place each rectangle on a parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate until firm, about 10 minutes.
Using a small knife, score a 1/2-inch border around each rectangle, cutting halfway through the pastry. Brush the borders with the egg wash. Spread the ricotta mixture over each rectangle. Scatter the Gruyère and the bacon-onion mixture on top. Bake in the upper and lower thirds of the oven for about 20 minutes, until the pastry is richly browned; switch the pans halfway through baking. If the pastry bubbles, poke it with a knife and continue baking.
In a large bowl, whisk the oils with the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Add the radicchio and parsley and toss well.
Cut the tarts into squares. Top with the salad and serve right away.
Make Ahead
The tarts can be prepared through Step 2 one day ahead. Refrigerate the bacon mixture, ricotta and pastry.

SPORTS>> Joyner to coach Red Devils
By Ray Benton
Leader sports writer
Former North Pulaski head boys basketball coach Victor Joyner accepted the boys head coaching job at Jacksonville High School Monday night. The selection of Joyner ends a search to fill the position that began back in May with the resignation of former head coach Jerry Wilson.
Wilson was on the search committee that interviewed five applicants, and said Joyner was the best fit.
Hes a guy with lots of success at the high school level, and hes already a member of this community. He does a lot of stuff with the kids in Jacksonville outside of school. I think it will be a good fit.
Joyner had many words to describe his feelings when he was informed he got the job.
I was relieved, excited, a little scared maybe. Its a new challenge and there are high expectations at Jacksonville. But thats what makes me go. I love a challenge.
Jacksonville principal Kenneth Clarke made the final decision on the hire, and said that experience was a major issue among those interviewed.
Hes the only one (who interviewed) who was a head coach, Clarke said. Hes been a head coach for a long time and hes been very successful. You cant overlook that kind of experience.
Experience wasnt the only contributing factor to Clarkes decision.
He a member of this community and hes very involved. Plus he seemed very focused on the kids. He stressed in his interview that he has always worked hard for his kids as far as helping them make it to the next level, and that he would continue to do so. That was very impressive to me. Thats what were here for. He seemed just as much concerned with helping his players get into
college and become better young men, as he did with wins.
Joyner also expressed a sincere sadness at leaving the site of his first head-coaching job. He even sneaked in at 2:30 a.m. Tuesday to clean out his office, saying he wasnt ready to say goodbye to anyone just yet.
I just dont think I could have handled it at this point, Joyner said. I had too many things going through my mind, and there are some people over there that are just like my family. Ive been there 11 years, and Ive grown to love those people.
Joyner reflected on his first day at NP, and shared a spiritual moment that paralleled his first and last day on the job.
When I first got to NP 11 years ago, I did the same thing and brought everything in here late, late at night, Joyner said. I turned the clock on, and it was the only light in the gym. I sat down in the middle of that floor and prayed that I would be able to do whats right by all the kids that would be coming through here.
I did the same thing last night. I turned the clock on and sat down in the middle of the floor and prayed. But when I turned the clock on, it was running. It was running down from eight minutes. And then when I looked over, the direction arrow was on. Theres a short in it and it doesnt come on sometimes, but it came on, and it was pointing to the visitors bench, and it was turned and pointing towards Jacksonville. It might have been nothing, but it made me feel like it was okay to leave. Because I was really struggling to walk out of there.
Joyner brings an impressive resume from NP, including a streak of about 13 straight wins over JHS. He won eight conference titles, including four straight from 2000 through 2003.
His teams advanced to three state tournament semifinals and made appearances in nine straight state tournaments.
Most of those state tournament appearances came in class AAAA, where NP is one of the largest schools in the classification. Hell now be taking over one of the smallest schools in the states largest classification.
Joyner simply looks at it as another challenge.
This is without a doubt the toughest conference, but like I said, its a new challenge and thats what I love, Joyner said. I couldnt sleep all night thinking about Jonesboro and West Memphis and those guys. Im taking over a program in a tough conference that hasnt been winning. Im going to have to teach a whole new system, but well get there. I want to get Jacksonville High School to No. 1 in the state and keep em in the top five of the rankings all the time. Thats my dream for this school.
North Pulaski and Jacksonville are natural rivals, and the two schools gear up for each other in every sport, but Joyner says he never looked at it as a rivalry game.
Ive always considered myself a Jacksonville coach, Joyner said. Its not been at Jacksonville High School, but it was still Jacksonville kids, and thats who Im here for. I never really looked at the kids at Jacksonville as rivals, and I wont look at the NP kids that way now. I realize some people dont look at North Pulaski as a Jacksonville school, but I always have and Ill continue to do so.

Winner of the Latino Literary Hall of Fame Award for Best Poetry in English
His words are engaging, hypnotizing, refreshing, and sometimes startling
Minnesota (University of Minnesota)
you will catch the hint of a fox streaking in front of your car's headlights at night. Look more carefully out your bedroom window and you may see your life going by, lost loved ones waving hello. "Who were you when the stars were misinterpreted as the fingertips of God?" Ray Gonzalez blends symbolic play with lyrical beauty as he works from a vast and complex palette to infuse popular culture with myth. The Religion of Hands is imbued with magic realism: a suffocating dream of tamales, mysterious reptilian allusions, a man who "finds God walking down the stairs to hand him an old, tattered phonebook from the year he was born." It offers strange prophecies: "A steady vegetation will grow across the empire as more homeboys are killed in drive-bys. . . . Microscopic scratches on an old vinyl record will form a message discovered in twenty more years when the album is bought at a garage sale." And in 14 flash fictions, it tells of a tiny old man kept in a glass jar, an accordion stored in an old family trunk, tales of sharks and bandits. The religion of hands has its own unspoken sacraments. "The fingers take over, teaching whoever holds the moment that the rapid weight of the open hands is a dangerous way to live." Seamlessly, effortlessly, multi-dexterously, Ray Gonzalez spins words that speak our very dreams.
