Here's what readers say about my book "You're Not Crazy"
If your Inner Mother - the one who loves you and supports you - could write to you, what would she say to
She'd say things that are:
In short, she'd say all the things our narcissistic mother either never said, or
said manipulatively.
We need to hear these things. We deserve to hear them. There's a peace and a joy in hearing them.
There's so much that was never said to us: from advice to support, to compliments, to validation, to
encouragement. All the things we longed to hear, but never did.
These notes are what a real loving mother would say. They're what we need to hear. They're designed to read as if
they're from our own inner mother, the part of us who is our own wise mother to ourselves. This wisdom and love is
accessible to us through our quietness and attention, and these notes are from that place of healing and

Football Fan Experience Improvements - We Listened
During my short time with the Pack I've heard a number of suggestions from fans about improving our gameday experience at Mackay Stadium. Items such as - traffic nightmares leaving the stadium, the food choices are too limited, obnoxious fans sit near me, and much more. I am pleased to let you know - we listened and we are responding. Our staff worked really hard this year to address some of the common complaints while also adding new initiatives to make tailgating more fun and the total game experience better for all fans. Here are some highlights that you will notice:
Better Traffic Flow
Our post-game traffic flow will be changed this year to create a faster exit for fans on the Virginia St. side of campus. With the great support of the Reno Mayor's Office, Reno City Manager's Office, Reno police, campus police and the University administration, we will close Virginia St immediately after the game ends - all four lanes of Virginia St will be utilized to allow a smooth and fast exit from games. Fans parked in the West Stadium Garage, the Brian Whalen Garage and other areas south of the Stadium - will be directed South on Virginia St using all four lanes until 9th Street. Additional RPD officers will be assigned to keep traffic flowing from 9th Street to the highway. You might even see the RPD helicopter flying above campus watching for bottlenecks and dispatching officers to immediately address the situation. Please click on this link for a post-game traffic map.
First Class Fans
For the many Wolf Pack fans who travel to away games to support the Pack, you know how well we are treated on the road. The tradition in collegiate sports is to welcome the fans who made the trip to support their team at the opposition's stadium. For Wolf Pack fans, we welcome visiting team fans by saying - "Welcome to the University of Nevada". We want our team to beat their team, but we also want people from other parts of the country to think positively of Wolf Pack fans and our Northern Nevada community. Please be First Class Fans at all times - and welcome visiting team fans to the University.
Second Rate Fans
Unfortunately all stadiums have a few rotten apples that ruin the bunch. Our reputation as a great athletic program, a top-notch University and a wonderful community can be tarnished by Second Rate Fans. These people are not welcome at Mackay Stadium. IMPORTANT -- When you are in Mackay Stadium, and you witness a Second Rate Fan, please use our new 'Fan Phone' to quietly text a report to our security command center. The command center will send security staff to your location to address the situation - you will not be identified. The Fan Phone text line is: (775) 229-5564. Please enter this in your phone contacts and use it to let us know when you see a problem.
Credit Cards
Beginning this year we will provide new credit card access points at the South endzone concession stands. You can now pay with plastic or cash.
Need more cash? We are adding more ATM machines around the stadium.
More Food Options
We want your taste buds to enjoy Wolf Pack football too. We continue to explore food options to delight your taste buds. This year we are adding Wholly Habanero (custom Mexican food) and Bodacious Burgers (does this really need an explanation - yummy burgers!) to our concessions lineup.
New Student Tailgate
Our student body will have an official tailgate location on the North side of the stadium in the central receiving parking lot. Student groups, Greek organizations and many other students will set up tents and tailgate in this location before each home game. The students will certainly add some energy to the North end of campus.
Live Band - OLD DOMINION
We are excited to provide live music prior to the home opener. Popular country band Old Dominion will take the stage in the student tailgate area at approximately 10:30 a.m. Saturday morning and will play until 30 minutes prior to kick. All fans are invited to enjoy the music!
Wolf Pack Walk
We altered the Wolf Pack Walk route so fans can better engage with the players. The team will now walk directly through the middle of our most popular tailgate sections. The team arrives for the Wolf Pack Walk approximately two hours before kickoff - get there in time to high-five the players and coaches. See map here.
Born to be ONE/Alpha Wolf
In keeping with our concept that we are all ONE, the team will carry a special ONE flag when it takes the field this season. Each game a walk-on player will be nominated to represent the community as the Alpha Wolf and will get to participate on special teams. This player will wear jersey number "1" and will also wear a special patch on his jersey.
These are a few of the changes you will see at Wolf Pack football games this year. Please share your experience with your friends and family - invite them to a game to check out all the fun around home games this Fall. We have a great home schedule and need to fill Mackay Stadium to provide a great home field advantage for the Pack.
We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you at Wolf Pack games and matches this Fall.
Thank you and Go Pack!

The 'Smallville' alumna plays homicide detective Catherine Chandler, who single-handedly takes down some bad guys before the Beast comes to her aid.
A pilot of "Beauty and the Beast" has been screened at its Comic-Con panel, but those who were unable to come to San Diego Convention Center still can get a glimpse at Kristin Kreuk in action. Making its way out onto the web, a new clip from the show highlights Kreuk's Catherine Chandler who fights some attackers, one of whom she thought to be an agent who could help her in finding her mother's killer.
Things look bad for Catherine when she falls on the railway with two of the attackers ready to finish her. The Beast comes just right in time to save her, not only from the bad people but also from being hit by a train.
During the panel at Comic-Con on Thursday, July 12, Jay Ryan said his character's beastly look would be different from the earlier adaptations. "He's not a lion now that he's a military experiment, there's a chemical in his body," the actor explained, adding that it has been adapted "a little bit more" from the pilot.
"Beauty and the Beast" will premiere Thursday, October 11 at 9 P.M. on The CW. Dubbed a modern-day romantic love story with a procedural twist, it is loosely based on the 1980s series starring Ron Perlman and Linda Hamilton. Kreuk stars as a smart homicide detective, while Ryan portrays Vincent Keller who turns into a terrifying beast when he's enraged.

MP3 Player Glossary
Table of contents
In digital multimedia, bitrate is a commonly used term. It describes how much information (number of bits) is used per unit of time to represent the original audio/video footage. Bits per second (bit/s, bps) and some derivative such as Kbps and Mbps are used to quantify bitrate.
In digital multimedia, CBR or constant bitrate means that the bitrate of the multimedia (audio and/or video) stream is constant. No matter how content complexity changes, the same amount of bits are transferred in a given time.
In digital multimedia, DRM or Digital Right Management refers to technologies used to protect and securely deliver content for playback on computers, portable devices and network devices. It is often implemented by enforcing pre-defined policies for controlling access to the content (such as music and movies). Protected content can only be played by DRM compatible devices.
EL is the abbreviation of electroluminescence, which refers to an electrical and optical phenomenon - certain material will emit light when there is a strong electric field present or when an electric current passes through it. EL materials are widely used in LCD backlights, and do not generate much heat.
Liquid Crystal Display is a display solution based on a matrix of liquid crystal pixel elements. There are 3 sub-pixels and an RGB color filter in each pixel element (for color LCD display only). By applying backlighting and different voltages to each sub-pixel, the pixel displays different colors. Monochromatic LCDs, do not utilize sub-pixels.
Light-emitting diode, refers to a kind of semiconductor component that emits light when electrically biased in the forward direction. Depending on the chemical composition of the diode material used, the wave length of the emitted light can be different, resulting in various colors of visible light and even invisible infrared or near-ultraviolet light. LED can be regarded as a kind of EL or electroluminescence application.
MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 is widely known as MP3, which is the most popular digital audio encoding and lossy compression format in use today. The MP3 format can greatly reduce the audio file data size and still deliver faithful reproduction of the original audio.
OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode. It is essentially a type of LED with an organic compound emissive layer as opposed to traditional inorganic LEDs. OLED can be used as a display device as well as a lighting device. Many MP3 players and other mobile devices use OLEDs for displays. OLED displays are often brighter and more energy efficient than traditional backlit LCDs.
The Signal to Noise Ratio refers to the ratio between an informative signal (such as music) and the useless noise (such as the background noise) in an audio signal. The higher this value is, the better the signal quality and the greater the clarity of the sound you will hear.

In Reply to: RE: Shunyata Venom 3 burn in posted by robss on February 20, 2012 at 17:27:51
All three cables are brand new. I use one cable on my power conditioner, the other on my digital transport, and the third one on my power amp.
The overall net effect of placing these cables in my system is more mellow, analog-like character of the sound. They seem to somewhat attenuate what sounds to me like a bit of digital hardness in the upper middle region. Also, the cymbal splashes now sound more natural, with noticeably longer decay.
All that at the expense of the oomph in the bass. The bass is now much tighter, more taut, more melodic, easier to discern and follow, but it lost some of its grittiness and oomph.
Lastly, the soundstage shrunk quite a bit. It seems more precise now, but also more miniature.
Edits: 02/21/12Follow Ups:
I haven't really had any issues with burn in. I now have well over 500 hours on one and over 250 on the other.
I got the most positive change on my cd player (first Venom3). The second one is on my pre-amp where it produced a positive change, but not near as dramatic as on the cd player.
I tried moving the one from the pre-amp to my amp and I just didn't care for the resulting change and moved it back to my pre-amp. I've been hesitant to go with the third one for the amp because I am really happy with my system the way it is. I also tried taking the Venom3s out and it didn't take very long before I put them back in.
Maybe you could try moving the one you have on the amp to the pre-amp? Or take two out and move one to different components to see if things stabilize for you.
Please let us know how you resolve your dilemma.
I made one change in my configuration in that I've unplugged the Venom 3 that was feeding my power amp from the power conditioner (Belkin PF-30) and plugged it straight into the wall outlet. That, to my ears, somewhat restored the muscle in the bass. Am I imagining things, or is the sound indeed different if you feed electrical current directly from the wall outlet than if you feed it from the power conditioner?
My power amp sounds the best plugged directly into the wall outlet.
Do you think you've totally solved your problem?
My power amp sounds the best plugged directly into the wall outlet.
Do you think you've totally solved your problem?
I think the roller coaster ride with the burning in (or whatever else was going on with my system) now seems to be over. The mids and the highs are now the best they've ever been. However, I'm still not happy with the bass, as I feel that prior to this change, my bass was much more robust, with more pronounced 'oomph' and torque. Sure, plugging the Shunyata Venom 3 directly into the wall outlet seemed to have improved the bass, but I still feel it's kind of too shy and too polite for my taste.
I'll go back and replace Shunyata with Nordost power cable on my power amp, and will report back if it made any positive change. Thanks for your advice!
It's a combination of the conditioner (they all tend to alter the sound and limit dynamics) and your line voltage no doubt (variable with time of day). That's assuming your components are in perfect working order. Also, psychology, emotional state, pharmaceuticals and alcohol (not to mention air pressure, humidity and the presence of ear wax) will effect what you are hearing:O) Funny thing is...I'm not kidding!
No, you have heard correctly. Interesting you should ask this question at this point. I had looked up your system and saw you listed the Belkin conditioner, and I was composing my next set of questions to you about your system w/ the Venom3 power cords when your post showed up.
In my experience, "power conditioners" such as the Belkin you have will at least change power amp. dynamics - and this means usually restricting the dynamics - unless they specifically state they are "non-current limiting" (even then ...). I had a $200 Monster brand "power bar" at one point and easily noted that the dynamics of my then mid-fi system (mostly Rotel) were restricted vs. the $3.00 wall outlet. Latter, I purchased a Shunyata Hydra4 power conditioner. In short, the results were that the dynamics of my system were more pronounced (I mean much better, even for bass alone) with the Hydra4 vs. the wall outlet. Go figure; but I have stuck with the Hydra4 longer than any other system component thus far. From this, and other experiences it has lead me to think, from hearing such results that are clearly notable, that more music can be garnered simply from the AC side of components, be they amps., or source.
I would encourage you to try to audition a proven (that means neutral and non-current limiting) power conditioner such as the Shunyata Hydra series. Used, they are a steal for what they do. From another OP I note you had started to evaluate another brand; I do not have experience with that brand, however my dad worked for Furman in the past. And do not get me started on outlets .... Happy listening

Love this calendar
By AJ
from OH
I use this book so I don't forget any appointments I may have during each month. It keeps me from not showing up and/or being late. I love how the squares for each day are big enough to put more than one appointment on it. Have been getting these books for quite a few years now and will continue to get them. I recommend them to anyone who wants to stay organized with appointments, etc.

I use this calendar as I need to write down appointments and to check where a date falls in the week. I have it on a shelf under my computer so it is handy. I had a 2 year one and liked it so well that I am sure the three year one will be better

Ask Mac Questions and Get Answers from Experts ASAP
Hi and thanks for your question! Well, if it is locked down at the startup, without knowing the password XXXXX only way to get my it is resetting the password XXXXX the Operating System CD. Did they happen to give that to you??
no not at all
If they did, it a pretty simple procedure...Use the Operating System Installer disc (of the same version), Start up the computer, nsert the discRestart. As soon as you hear the bong sound, hold down C. Once the Installer starts, select the menubar and a menu will give you access to reset the password
they give me the dics
OK without the discs the only thing we can do is to purchase a copy of Mac OS X and install that...this will bypass the password...if it happens to be the same version, you can reset the password XXXXX losing any information on the computer...
where can i purchase this
you can pick it up at Best Buy, or any computer electronics store...you can usually get your hands on it at Staples or Office Max also...I've even seen it in some of the larger Wal-marts...
online they gave me a list of instructions to unlock it without a dics theres nothing like that we can do
just look for a white box that has a big grey "X" on it...(it'll say Mac OS X)
what have you already tried?
they said to press the command and s button while booting up computer and wait for a black screen with white writting then to hit "-uw/" but the black screen with white text never came up there was other steps after that but i couldnt get pass the first one to try the others
What you can try (some OS's lock you out of this now so again it depends on what version is running)Reboot your Mac• Next hold Apple Command key + S key (Single User mode) down after you hear the Apple chime.• When you see the text prompt, type in the following terminal commands to create a brand new Admin account (hitting Return after each line):mount -uw /rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDoneshutdown -h nowAfter rebooting you should have a brand new Administrator account.** When you login , it will be the new administrative account.
heh heh..we are on the same wavelength..yeah, some version will not allow you to enter "terminal" mode...
it only gives you a second ot two to do it, so make sure you hear the "chime" before hitting the Apple Command and the S key...
k ima try
i tried three times and every time just brings me to the login page nothing else
OK, it may be a version prior to OS X that allows for Terminal mode...it doesnt work on all machines, so it's not something you are doing wrong, just the machine wont accept it.....to make absolutely sure you can try and restart it and hold down the Apple Command key and keep pressing the "S" key every second or so...if you still end up at the login screen, then terminal mode is locked out also and you will ahve to resort to getting the install disc...
k ima try again
(fingers crossed!)
still wait for the chime
na, try it the whole time to be sure...
nope not workin
looks like the CD is our only solution then...
yea thanks so much for your time have a great day

Nearly six out of ten expert witnesses have a blacklist of law firms that they would never work with again, according to a recent survey of expert witnesses.
According to an anonymous survey of 160 expert witnesses published by legal training consultancy Bond Solon, 59 per cent of respondents said that there were firms of solicitors that they would never work with again. "It is a matter of some concern that as many as six out of ten experts feel that way," said Mark Solon, a solicitor and director of Bond Solon. He pointed out that it was an increasing problem, with only half of those surveyed responding in that way last year.
"The areas where experts generally report issues are inadequate instructions, not providing full paperwork, giving late instructions, and the classic problem of late payment," Solon commented. According to the survey, half of all instructions from solicitors were deemed to be either "adequate" or "poor". However, this represented a 16 per cent improvement on last year's results. Almost two-thirds of instructions arrived either "just in time" or "late" from solicitors (64 per cent).
According to Solon: "Overall solicitors have to understand that the Civil Procedure Rules provide that the expert must be independent and their duty is to the court."
There was little sign of work for experts slowing down despite Lord Woolf's attempts to deal with the "large litigation support industry that has grown up among professions" through the Civil Procedure Rules. The research found that 77 per cent of respondents reported that the number of instructions had increased or remained the same, which was a slight increase from last year (76 per cent).

Jillian Michaels: 'Motherhood Has Changed Every Aspect of My Life' (EXCLUSIVE)
"Becoming a mother has changed every single aspect of my life," Michaels told Celebuzz in an exclusive interview. "I have certainly learned not to sweat the small stuff and am amazed every day watching them learn, grow and discover the world. It is remarkable to see the world through their eyes."
Michaels — who welcomed a baby boy, Phoenix, with her partner, Heidi Rhoades, in May, the same week she adopted daughter Lukensia from Haiti — adds that motherhood is a "wild ride – and the most meaningful experience of my life."
"In terms of working out, life is definitely a bit hectic with a baby and a toddler at home," she continued. "Time is of the essence every day, meaning my fitness routine has shifted. It doesn't mean the importance of working out has changed. In fact, it is now more important than ever."
Michaels, who rose to fame as a trainer on the hit NBC reality-competition series The Biggest Loser, recently teamed up with EBOOST, a vitamin-infused natural energy drink, as a company investor and Chief Energy Officer.
"I fell in love with it after having two kids," she said of the product. "It's a natural energy boost, but it's also loaded with electrolytes and antioxidants to help support your health and immune system."
"EBOOST is all-natural, clean energy drink that is packed with vitamins, nutrients and green tea extract to give that extra punch," she continued. "I love the refreshing flavors and the fact that it comes in handy packets that I can just stick in my bag and mix with water on the go anytime I need that extra boost in my day."
"This might be someone on the way to the gym for a workout, or a busy mom who needs a little energy boost in the middle of their day. If you need a pick me up, this is a refreshing, all natural way to get one."

Miley Cyrus Kisses Female Dancer On British TV
Miley Cyrus kissed a girl and she liked it.
The 17-year-old tweener performed her new song "Can't Be Tamed" on Britain's Got Talent last night and she decided to top off her racy performance by kissing a female dancer. Well, sort of. Miley didn't actually kiss the dancer, she just mimicked kissing her.
The Hannah Montana star has been grabbing headlines recently for her racy new look. Her "Can't Be Tamed" music video featured her writhing around in sexy clothes and she has been spotted performing around Europe in minimal clothing. This faux sapphic kiss just adds to her controversy-causing antics.
The girl-on-girl kiss was reminiscent of the Madonna-Britney Spears girly smooch at the 2003 VMAs. The only difference is that Britney was 21-year-old and little Miley hasn't even celebrated her 18th birthday yet.
Maybe the pseudo-lesbian smooch is just part of her acting out after reportedly getting dumped by Liam Hemsworth? We're sure that will make him a wee bit jealous.
Watch Miley's kiss below. The kiss starts at the 1:05 mark.

Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, says he misspoke when he said recently that another $500 billion in defense budget cuts next year would mean the US would no longer be a global power.
Republicans in Congress have cited Dempsey's comment as evidence of a weak Obama administration commitment to defense.
Dempsey told reporters traveling with him in Brazil on Wednesday that he should have stated his view differently.
He said the point he wanted to make originally is that the US military would have less capacity to operate worldwide, and that means the military would be able to provide civilian leaders fewer options for dealing with national security problems.
But, he said, the US would still be a global power

When Xstrata shareholders decide whether to approve Glencore International's sweetened $32 billion offer, they will face an array of ballot choices that would confuse even a Washington policy wonk.
The vote on the year's biggest takeover, expected in mid-November, will offer shareholders an unprecedented three ballots with 27 different voting combinations. The structure reflects the difficulty in achieving the deal, announced in February, which drew investor criticism on the price and retention packages the companies first agreed to. While investors will get the chance to vote on both the merger and retention bonuses for more than 70 managers totalling £144 million ($228 million), the issue may have been needlessly complicated.
"If you just have a single vote to choose one winner, that tends to encourage sincere voting," said Steven Brams, a game theorist and political scientist at New York University who has specialized in so-called approval voting. "Here you have the retention package on all three ballots. The more complicated you make the votes, the more manipulable it is."
The balloting structure proposed by Xstrata, the world's largest exporter of thermal coal, to recommend Glencore's offer came after at least two weeks of consultations with large institutional shareholders including BlackRock placing the fate of the deal in Xstrata shareholders' hands, said a person familiar with the situation.
The deal was almost derailed by investor demands for improved terms and opposition to the bonuses aimed at retaining key Xstrata executives.
Qatar's sovereign wealth fund, which owns 12 per cent of Xstrata and is the largest shareholder behind 34 per cent-owner Glencore, opposed the commodities trader's initial offer of 2.8 shares, even after Xstrata's board had recommended it.
In a dramatic 11th-hour move, Switzerland-based Glencore on September 7 raised its all-stock offer to save the transaction. Glencore also proposed that its chief executive officer Ivan Glasenberg eventually lead the enlarged company in place of Xstrata CEO Mick Davis, who was originally slated to remain at the helm.
Now, Glencore, the world's largest publicly traded commodities supplier, and Switzerland-based Xstrata say the deal to create the world's fourth-largest mining company is on track to be completed by the end of the year.
With the first two votes, the balloting will give investors the option of approving the takeover on the condition that the retention payments to managers are also passed – or, of approving the deal provided the bonus package is rejected, in back-to-back votes.
"The votes are designed to facilitate the deal," said Macquarie Group mining analyst Jeff Largey. "By separating the issues, Glencore and Xstrata are forcing investors to decide whether they support the deal at all."
The so-called scheme of arrangement between Glencore and Xstrata, which the companies describe as a merger of equals, is the first major deal in Britain. to adopt such a voting structure. When used in takeovers, normal schemes of arrangement are simply agreements on friendly bids, which are then taken to court for approval.
The split-vote structure "is certainly not something practitioners recognize as a normal scheme," said Adrian Clark, a takeover specialist at the law firm Ashurst in London. "There's not usually a lot of technical innovation around schemes."
When Xstrata shareholders vote, either of the two proposals will require the support of investors representing at least 75 per cent of the company's shares by value – as well as a simple majority of shareholders by number, to be successful. This is intended to block a scenario in which a few large investors pass the deal over the opposition of many more smaller shareholders.
While the three-vote format seems to allow shareholders to support the deal and object to the retention packages, the process is actually more complex. "When you have three ballots with two different sets of rules, that can lead to strategic, insincere voting," Brams said. "It would have been better to answer the retention question with a first ballot, and then have a vote on the merger on the second ballot. This would have clarified what the voters were choosing on the final vote."
While a simple voting structure would have made shareholders' decisions easier, a complex one may clear a path for Xstrata to get what it wants, according to James Morrow, professor of political science at the University of Michigan.
"This is a clever parliamentary manoeuvre that will allow a few shareholders who support the management payout to block the second ballot, which needs a supermajority," Morrow said. "Then on the third vote, they can say: 'If you kill the retention package, you kill the merger'."
Glencore is barred from voting its shares under British takeover rules governing schemes of arrangement.
For the first two votes to approve the merger, shareholders have nine possible combinations of checking "yes" or "no," or leaving the ballot blank. The first ballot is to approve the merger only if the management payout is approved. The second is to approve the merger only if the management payout is rejected.
Those who support the deal irrespective of management retention packages can vote "yes" on both counts. Those who oppose the deal can vote "no" twice. They can also vote for one proposal and against the other, depending on whether or not they believe Xstrata managers are worth the payout.
"On one side, you have the Qataris, who want a higher exchange ratio, and on the other, you have investors like BlackRock who have a policy against paying so much as a retention package," said Paul Gait, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein.
A separate, third vote on the retention package only requires a simple majority of Xstrata shareholders' approval.
If the first and third votes win approval, then the deal goes through with the retention package. If the second vote wins approval and the third fails, then the deal goes through without the pay package. If only the first vote wins approval without the retention package passing, or if the second and third votes pass, the deal will lapse.
Should that happen, Glencore will have to wait three months before it returns with another offer recommended by Xstrata's board, or 12 months before it makes a hostile approach, according to British Takeover Panel rules. Those rules, at least, are easy enough to understand.

Collaborative Online Communication: Establishing Learning Communities for Pre-Service Teachers in the Field
When pre-service teachers are in the field completing the professional experience, they do not have access to the on-campus support network that usually exists through social interaction and shared communication. This may cause them to feel isolated at a time when they are anxious about accessing teaching resources, developing meaningful learning activities and managing student behaviour. They may also be concerned about the ability to put knowledge and understanding into practice under the watchful eyes of classroom teachers and students. This paper examines the use of the Learning Management System Blackboard, as a means of providing valuable opportunities for pre-service teachers to engage in collaborative online communication. In this context, the online communication can be successful in connecting pre-service teachers and building genuine learning communities that support the profession. The communicative support provided through Blackboard can be accessed asynchronously and has the potential to strengthen and enhance the teaching experience of pre-service teachers during the professional experience.

Clark Gable: Gayer Than Gone With The Wind
Not like we have a shot now, but a new biography claims Clark Gable, aka Rhett Butler from Gone With The Wind was gay. Although The New York Times and a lot of other publications think it's a load of bull, at the very least it's karma. The handsome Hollywood hunk was a notorious homophobe. In fact, that's one of the reasons they cast queeny Charles Laughton, who regularly brought his boyfriend to the set, to star opposite Gable in Mutiny on the Bounty. The studio thought they could create on screen tension from the behind the scenes brawls. The new novel, Clark Gable: Tormented Star, by celebrity-obsessed author David Bret, now claims the oversexed Gable was publicly overreacting to cover up his prostitution and private predilection for men. It even asserts that comedienne Carole Lombard, his fourth wife, didn't mind that he was doing it with her personal designer, William Haines. Scandalous! [After Elton]

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/4/2013 (1553 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
THE 1931 collapse of the small Austrian bank Creditanstalt precipitated a major financial panic. Cyprus, one the smallest countries in Europe, may prove a key inflexion point in the crisis.
The EU bailout package included the controversial provision that all ordinary depositors pay a "tax" or "solidarity levy" on Cypriot bank deposits, amounting to a permanent write-down in the nominal value of their deposits.
Initially, the parliament in Cyprus failed to pass the necessary enabling legislation.
Finally, with no other source of funding available, the European Central Bank (ECB) threatening withdrawal of emergency funding and the threat of default and rapid economic collapse, Cyprus agreed to an amended plan where "small" depositors (below €100,000) will be protected, being exempted from the levy.
But a major restructuring of the two largest banks will take place with probable large losses to the unprotected depositors. Other measures include "temporary, proportionate and non-discriminatory" capital controls to prevent funds being taken out of Cyprus.
The measures stave off the risk of immediate collapse and Cyprus having to leave the euro. But the plan does not address Cyprus' problem.
The proposed restructuring effectively cripples the Cypriot banking industry, which is a major part of the economy and employs more than 50 per cent of the country's workers. The transfer of losses to depositors and imposition of capital controls make it highly likely that activity will shift to other locations.
Economic activity in Cyprus is expected to contract by 15 to 25 per cent over the next few years. Unemployment will also rise. The slowdown will reduce Cyprus' capacity to pay back its creditors.
Irrespective of the fate of Cyprus, the solution adopted will exacerbate the European debt crisis.
First, the transfer of losses to depositors creates a dangerous precedent. Depositors in weak banks in weak countries now may consider the risk of loss or confiscation. This may trigger capital flight from banks in Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Italy and Spain.
If depositors withdraw funds in significant size and capital flight accelerates, then the ECB, national central banks and governments will have to intervene, funding affected banks and potentially restricting withdrawals, electronic funds transfers and imposing cross-border capital controls.
Second, the Cyprus bail-in provision will make it increasingly difficult for European banks, especially in vulnerable countries, to raise new deposits or issue bonds.
Third, the Cyprus arrangements undermine the credibility of the ECB and EU and measures announced last year to combat the crisis, which have underpinned the recent relative stability.
After Cyprus, it will be politically difficult for countries such as Italy and Spain to ask for assistance if required, knowing that if a future debt restructuring is necessary, then domestic taxpayers face a loss on their bank deposits.
Cyprus highlights the shortcomings of the EU's much vaunted "banking union." The arrangements did not provide sufficient funds to undertake any required recapitalization of banks, an alternative to the levy on deposits. Cyprus also highlights the lack of a eurozone-wide consistent deposit-protection scheme, backed by EU funds.
Fourth, the Cyprus package highlights the increasing reluctance of countries such as Germany, Finland and the Netherlands as well as the IMF to support weaker eurozone members. Domestic political considerations and popular resistance to commitments of further taxpayer funds to such bailouts make such assistance increasingly problematic.
Fifth, the negotiations surrounding the Cyprus bailout revealed the policymaker's lack of understanding of the problems and the effects of policies. It also revealed significant differences between eurozone members and also between Europe and the IMF.
Sixth, the EU, by agreeing to potentially indefinite capital controls, has effectively created a two-tier euro, undermining the single currency in the long term.
Unfortunately, in each attempt at resolution to the European debt crisis, as shown by the proposed Cyprus package, the measures have become the problem rather than a solution.

UMKC Fungal Genetics Stock Center selected to participate in '1000 Genomes' project
Part of international collaborative effort to sequence the genomes of important fungal strains
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- With an estimated 1.5 million species, fungi represent one of the largest branches of modern biology's phylogenetic tree or "Tree of Life." They have an enormous impact on human affairs and ecosystem functioning due to their diverse activities as decomposers and pathogens, as well as the mutually beneficial symbiotic relationships they share with other organisms. In order to better understand the diversity of fungi and their functions, researchers at the UMKC Fungal Genetics Stock Center (FGSC), have been selected to join an international team of scientists in a five-year project to sequence 1,000 fungal genomes from the Fungal Tree of Life.
"Fungi are essential biological components of the global carbon cycle and, collectively, they are capable of breaking down virtually any naturally occurring polymer, such as cellulose and collagen, as well as numerous man-made ones, including many types of plastic and synthetic rubber," said Kevin McCluskey, Ph.D., Associate Research Professor and Curator of the FGSC, which is housed at the UMKC School of Biological Sciences. "Fungi also hold considerable promise in the development of alternative fuels, carbon sequestration and bioremediation of contaminated ecosystems."
The use of fungi for the continued benefit of humankind, however, requires an accurate understanding of how they interact in natural and synthetic communities, McCluskey added. The ability to sample natural environments for complex fungal genomes is rapidly becoming a reality and will play an important part in harnessing fungi for industrial, energy and climate management purposes. However, the ability to accurately analyze these data relies on well-characterized, foundational reference data of fungal genomes.
The 1000 Genomes project is funded by the U.S. Dept. of Energy's Joint Genome Institute (JGI). The overall plan is to fill in gaps in the Fungal Tree of Life by sequencing at least two reference genomes from the more than 500 recognized families of Fungi. In doing so, this project has the core goal of providing reference information to inform research on plant-microbe interactions, microbial emission and capture of greenhouse gasses, and environmental genomic sequencing as well as animal and human health.
Along with Dr. McCluskey and his colleagues at the FGSC, the 1000 Genomes team includes scientists from Oregon State University, University of California at Riverside, Cornell University, Vanderbilt University, University of California at Berkeley, University of Arizona, Centraal Bureau voor Schimmelcultures (Netherlands), Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (France), U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Agricultural Research Service, and the JGI.

Valor is still Valiant: Carnival Valor Cruise Review by dog8it
Overall Member Rating
Valor is still Valiant
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
Hotel Info : Starlite - South Beach Miami: buyer beware; our rooms were booked on the internet for a set price; they tried to increase the price at the time of check-in; the issue was resolved. For a well used and older beach hotel, the rooms were clean. There were no amenities: i.e. no onsite parking; dining, pool or even an onsite lounge. Will not book again for only one reason, the seating area in the front is not operated by the hotel; the person operating the small bar and seating area was not customer friendly.
Ship Info : the Valor was in top notch shape. I especially liked Rosie's on the lido deck; bright, cheery and not too over the top in decor. In fact, the whole ship's decor was pleasing and not so Vegas neon as with other Carnival ships. There were many places to find a quiet chair in the front and upper sun decks. I thought the pool area, with More the staggered levels of seating not my favorite layout, but it did work well with the outdoor screen and looked cool when it was lit up at night. Also on deck 10, you could go to the front of the ship and this was a nice area, not very many people took advantage of it. Also, their were plenty of elevators, so the waits were so bad. with the exception of peak times, such as the mustard drill.
99.9 percent of the staff was awesome; the .1 percent was a casino dealer who had no personality; many passengers who had the non-pleasure sitting at her table were all in agreement; she needs to find another line of work.
Activities: the pool deck activities are typical of Carnival; nothing different. Very generic to please the masses, I was disappointed that there wasn't more going on at the pool deck - but it is what you make it! There were many daytime activities scheduled elsewhere on the ship, but I like to be outdoors.
Service: 99.9 percent of the staff was awesome; the .1 percent was a casino dealer who had no personality; many passengers who had the non-pleasure to be at her table were all in agreement; she needs to find another line of work.
Port & Shore Excursions: Bahamas: we did on our own; briefly walked around Atlantis (tip: do not get to Atlantis before 10:30 am, nothing much going on, unless you buy the tickets to go to the beach, water area, etc). Cab ride through the Bahamas - always interesting LOL "Don't forget to protect your tings" see if you can find the sign on your next trip St. Thomas: beauuuuutiful.... can't wait to go again so see more, this is one port that there are numerous things to do and see, worth going back? You betcha! We did the ultimate island tour in the open air bus; so we got to stop at a few photo spots; went to Megan's Bay and dropped off at the Blackbeard castle. Stay away from the "Devestator" this drink will knock your clothes off! or at the very least, you won't have any inhibitions. St Maarten: we did this on our own; walked around Uptown and Downtown; "TIP": get the water ferry to Downtown and make your way back; we did it backwards LOL The shopping was not that great, you had to price compare; i.e. one place had beer for $1.00; then 2 steps away it was $2.00; same with souvenirs. Same with beach chairs, the prices were different and you could negotiate. Get Wet Beach Bar had one of the best darn hamburgers I ever had and watching the cook dance and "be-boop" while he was making our food was very interesting.
Summary: As this was my first "Big" ship, I was pleasantly surprised that it never felt crowded; it was clean, the food lines were not horrendous, people were pleasant. The only thing that was annoying was the photography stations near the dining rooms exits/entrances; they really need to cut back or move them. I would not hesitate to sail again.
Misc: Internet Cafe: whew - the deck plan not so clear on the location, but I finally found the internet area; tucked away behind or through Winston's Cigar Room. Still expensive. I had to log in to take care of one work related item; was online 2 minutes cost: $7.95 (which included a sign on fee) must try: Fish n Chips; it is tucked away on Rosie's 2nd Floor; very GOOD! Food was great in the dining room; although the lobster was tiny; just had to order another one. Beautiful dining room - again - I was pleasantly surprised that the decor was not over the top; we were on the first floor of the Lincoln Dining Room
Embarkation: was a mess due to the computers being down, but again, we were grateful to be traveling so we didn't let it get to us. If we had arrived after 12:30 pm the lines would have moved quicker as they got the computers going soon after we boarded the ship. Disembarkation: best ever, I like the new method they started and hope they stick with this new procedure! Less

small characteristic. It works especially well when the characteristic
is fixed. Indeed, in this case, we obtain a total complexity of $L(1/4+o(1)).$
We construct classical systems that remain secure when exposed to such quantum queries. For signatures we construct two compilers that convert classically secure signatures into signatures secure in the quantum setting and apply these compilers to existing post-quantum signatures. We also show that standard constructions such as Lamport one-time signatures and Merkle signatures remain secure under quantum chosen message attacks, thus giving signatures whose quantum security is based on generic assumptions. For encryption, we define security under quantum chosen ciphertext attacks and present both public-key and symmetric-key constructions.
In this scheme, a secret key $\\sk_{\\mathcal{M}}$ encodes a halting double-stack deterministic pushdown
automaton (2DPDA) $\\mathcal{M}$ that accepts by final state. Encryption algorithm takes a message $m$
and a string $w$ as input and outputs a ciphertext $\\cipher$. A user possessing $\\sk_{\\mathcal{M}}$ can
decrypt $\\cipher$ only if $\\mathcal{M}$ accepts $w$. Halting 2DPDAs can simulate halting deterministic
Turing machines and hence our construction essentially covers all
recursive languages.
The construction is built upon Waters\' bilinear pairing-based functional encryption scheme
over regular languages. The main technical novelty is in handling stack contents and
$\\lambda$-transitions (i.e., transitions that do not advance the input pointer)
of the automata. This is reflected both in the construction and the security arguments.
The scheme is shown to be selectively secure based on the decision $\\ell$-expanded bilinear
Diffie-Hellman exponent assumption introduced by Waters.
the ncorresponding messages. This feature makes aggregate signature very useful especially in environments with low bandwidth communication, low storage and low computability since it
greatly reduces the total signature length and verification cost. Recently, Xiong et al. presented an efficient certificateless aggregate signature scheme. They proved that their scheme is secure in a strengthened security model, where the \"malicious-but-passive\" KGC attack was considered. In this paper, we show that Xiong et al.\'s certificateless aggregate signature scheme is not secure
even in a weaker security model called \"honest-but-curious\" KGC attack model.
on-the-fly multiparty computation (MPC), the cloud can non-interactively perform arbitrary, dynamically chosen computations on data belonging to arbitrary sets of users chosen on-the-fly. All user\'s input data and intermediate results are protected from snooping by the cloud as well as other users.
This extends the standard notion of fully homomorphic encryption (FHE), where users can only enlist the cloud\'s help in evaluating functions on their own encrypted data.
In on-the-fly MPC, each user is involved only when initially uploading his (encrypted) data to the cloud, and in a final output decryption phase when outputs are revealed; the complexity of both is independent of the function being computed and the total number of users in the system. When users upload their data, they need not decide in advance which function will be computed, nor who they will compute with; they need only retroactively approve the eventually-chosen functions and on whose data the functions were evaluated.
This notion is qualitatively the best possible in minimizing interaction, since the users\' interaction in the decryption stage is inevitable: we show that removing it would imply generic program obfuscation and is thus impossible.
Our contributions are two-fold:
1. We show how on-the-fly MPC can be achieved using a new type of encryption scheme that we call multikey FHE, which is capable of operating on inputs encrypted under multiple, unrelated keys. A ciphertext resulting from a multikey evaluation can be jointly decrypted using the secret keys of all the users involved in the computation.
2. We construct a multikey FHE scheme based on NTRU, a very efficient public-key encryption scheme proposed in the 1990s. It was previously not known how to make NTRU fully homomorphic even for a single party. We view the construction of (multikey) FHE from NTRU encryption as a main contribution of independent interest. Although the transformation to a fully homomorphic system deteriorates the efficiency of NTRU somewhat, we believe that this system is a leading candidate for a practical FHE scheme.

We introduce the first formal security framework for software attestation and formalize various system and design parameters. Moreover, we present a generic software attestation scheme that captures most existing schemes in the literature. Finally, we analyze its security within our framework, yielding sufficient conditions for provably secure software attestation schemes. We regard these results as a first step towards putting software attestation on a solid ground and as a starting point for further research.

The car is permanently golden with a beige hood lid, and features an optional black vinyl roof, usually when raining or at night. Doors can be opened by conventional way, contrary to the Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe's suicide-style doors (which are hinged to the rear). Like the Super Diamond, the interior of the car is derived from a [[Schafter]], but additionally features a wooden rear dashboard. === Performance === Much like the Super Diamond, the convertible features a rear wheel drive configuration, but comes equipped with an even more powerful engine (which may reference the prototype V-16 engine the Phantom originally would've had in real life). and a lighter weight to match up with the car's more sporty appearance. However, this makes the car unrealistically fast and agile for a vehicle of its size, feeling slightly arcade-like compared to the other vehicles in GTA IV. == Trivia == * The vehicle was first seen in the "Meet Yusuf Amir" and the Weazel News trailers for The Ballad of Gay Tony. * Unusually, the car never gets dirty, and as a result, the car cannot enter any [[Car Wash|car wash]]. * The player can [[Drive-By Shooting|shoot from the car]] with the window glass still in place. * The car shares the same rim design as the [[Cavalcade]]. * The default radio station of this car is [[The Beat 102.7]]. * The Super Drop Diamond features an alarm system, proven by spawning one with locked doors, just like the Super Diamond does. == Location == The Super Drop Diamond is only unique to [[Yusuf Amir]], who uses the car as his primary mode of transport and is indicated to own ''four'' of them. At a certain point in the storyline in TBOGT, Yusuf will call Luis to inform that one of his Super Drop Diamonds is awarded to the player. From then on it will spawn in front of Yusuf's penthouse on [[Columbus Ave]]nue. The only other means of obtaining the car is by spawning it using modifications. Oddly, on very rare times, will the car spawn a block south of the Algonquin safehouse, and unlike the usual times the car spawns at Yusuf's penthouse, the car is equipped with an alarm, regardless with the top up or down. The variant obtained from Yusuf Amir's penthouse takes visibly less damage than those spawned using hacks or mods. ==Notable owners== *[[Yusuf Amir]] *[[Frickie Van Hardenburg]] {{Navboxes |title= Navigation |list1=|list1= {{vehicles|state=collapsed}} {{gtaiv vehicles|state=collapsed}} }} [[de:Super Diamond (IV)]] [[es:Super Drop Diamond]] [[fr:Super Drop Diamond]] [[pl:Super Drop Diamond]] [[Category:2-Door Sedans and Coupes]] [[Category:Vehicles]] [[Category:Vehicles in The Ballad of Gay Tony]]

Cyber security: New testing lab certifies control platforms
Wurldtech Labs, an independent division of Wurldtech Security Technologies , has announced the results of its initial round of Achilles Certification Testing. This third-party testing is intended to provide objective analysis of a product's ability to withstand cyber attacks.
The following six products earned The Achilles Level 1 Certification:
CENTIUM CS 3000 R3 Field Control Unit– Yokogawa Electric Corporation ;
CENTIUM CS 3000 R3 Vnet Router– Yokogawa Electric Corporation ;
DeltaV Controller– Emerson Process Management ;
ProSafe-RS Vnet/IP Safety Control Unit– Yokogawa Electric Corporation ;
Tricon Safety Controller– Invensys Process Systems– Triconex ;
Trusted Safety Controller– ICS Triplex (now part of Rockwell Automation).
In conjunction with the completion of the initial round of the industrial controller certifications, Wurldtech Labs publicly released the current version of Level 1 of the Achilles Certification Testing Criteria. Industrial controller products must meet every requirement in the criteria document in order to attain the Achilles certification mark. The Level 1 criteria document and the certification results for the six certified products are available for review online.
The Achilles certification program was developed to provide a benchmark for certification of secure industrial controllers, designing a procedure to assess their overall security capabilities. Level 1 certification focuses on layers 2 to 4 and the implementation of common protocols, such as Ethernet, ARP, IP, ICMP, and UPD.
Wurldtech Security Technologies, headquartered in Vancouver, BC, Canada, is a provider of security solutions to SCADA, process control and mission-critical industries. The company was founded in 2006 as an outgrowth of cyber security research done at the British Columbia Institute of Techonolgy (BCIT). Wurldtech provides products and services that help protect global critical infrastructure and address the security needs of companies and government agencies worldwide.
"Wurldtech Labs' Achilles Certification testing is the most comprehensive, real-world security testing of its kind," notes Ernest Rakaczky, Director of Control System Security at Invensys Systems Canada Inc. "There is no doubt that Wurldtech has succeeded in providing an exceptional source of meaningful and independent security assurance for the industrial control system community. Achieving the Achilles certification is a compelling testament to our commitment to ensuring quality and security in our industrial automation products."
"Automation engineers can have a higher degree of comfort knowing that DeltaV controllers have passed an accepted set of test suites and test parameters," says Bob Huba, senior product manager for Emerson Process Management. "Controllers with Level 1 certification have demonstrated the robustness to survive network cyber attacks."
