Blue Ridge launches defence against US grid attacks
Blue Ridge Networks
: 05 August, 2009
(New Product)
Secure network products available from Blue Ridge Networks for highly distributed enterprises and covers VPN, VoIP and SCADA systems
Articles this year in the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal are reminders of the security issues that continue to plague the US electrical grid. Referring to the grid, a former Department of Homeland Security official said, 'There are intrusions, and they are growing. There were a lot last year.' In addition to vulnerabilities in the networks, cyberattacks can also be launched by taking advantage of well-known security gaps in common PC applications.
'For over 12 years Blue Ridge Networks has been delivering secure communications products and services to government and commercial clients with no reported vulnerabilities,' stated Mike Fumai, CEO of Blue Ridge Networks. 'And with new releases of our AppGuard and EdgeGuard products over the last year, customers are assured that their desktops will be safe from 0-day malware attacks and organizational security policies will be enforced.'
Blue Ridge/Secure Virtual Ethernet Service is a comprehensive secure communications service delivering virtual private network connectivity to highly distributed enterprises and their business continuity sites over wired, wireless and satellite networks. The service combines end-to-end coordinated ordering, 24x7x365 end-user help desk, and provisioning with a pro-active trouble alert and maintenance system.
Consisting of BorderGuard hub appliances and RemoteLink distributed appliances, the network acts like an Ethernet extension cord and is 100% compatible with Ethernet based equipment typically found in power generating facilities, including PCs, Laptops, Servers, Routers, VoIP phones, and SCADA systems. The service operates over any commercially available network that delivers DSL, Cable modem, cellular, or T1 connections.
Third-party tests simulating DDoS attacks on BorderGuard appliances showed the BorderGuard continued to operate while under attack and equally important was able to provide audit data to the management platform showing the attack. Unlike most other VPN systems, the SVES management plane is not a single point of failure for the system and therefore is not impacted by DDoS attacks.
Blue Ridge/Secure AppGuard is a 'set and forget' solution that blocks malware attacks without any configuration by the end-user. It protects computers by guarding the applications that run on them instead of comparing every inbound file or communication to an endless list of known malware, using unreliable heuristics, and without prompting users to make security decisions. Anti-virus/spyware products effectively stop old malware. Adding AppGuard increases a computer's protection to over 90% by stopping new malware.
Blue Ridge/Secure EdgeGuard is a policy-based security solution that enforces security policies regardless of the PCs location. It can prevent the user from running unapproved software and quarantine the PC from the network until its anti-virus software, or other programs including disk
and VPN, are up-to-date. EdgeGuard also enables custom policy assessment and enforcement scripting.
The technology employed by AppGuard and EdgeGuard does not rely on having malware signatures. Instead, it places applications such as Internet Explorer 'under guard' to prevent attackers from forcing applications to execute malicious code. Additionally, AppGuard and EdgeGuard stop unknown software that attempts to launch from 'My Documents', 'Desktop', additional hard drives, and 'user space'. Likewise, AppGuard and EdgeGuard prevent malware hidden on a USB device from attacking the computer it's plugged into.

Sharik Sans (named after the brave and smart dog-hero from my favorite tv-series) has warm and gentle personality. It does not shout, it does not stand out. Sharik serves his master in everyday work.
Although, it is a sans-serif, you can feel caligrapher's touch on subtle details and endings. They shine out especially at display sizes.
The family consists of nine weights plus matching italics. It meets most of the needs that the designers deal with on daily basis, including web usage.
It is stuffed up with various OpenType features such as: small capitals, wide set of numerals, fractions, ordinals, alternates and, of course, ligatures.
And it perfectly harmonises with my other serif-like typeface family Clavo.
You can buy Sharik Sans here:
Thank You!

Varantar is the patron of shepherds.[1]
He is closely associated with the goddess Galana. It is possible that rather than a child of Galana, this god is a minor god under her protection. Farmers and shepherds alike worship him.

Major Security Issues
By Torleif Sorenson on 4/18/13
The terrorist bombing at the Boston Marathon finish line on Monday has brought event security into the news. However, security has been an increased concern for the USGA, the PGA Tour, and for tournament organizers everywhere since September 11, 2001.
At this week's PGA Tour stop on Hilton Head Island, law enforcement authorities have stepped up their security measures, although they (understandably) refuse to go into specific details. Nevertheless, they have consulted with the FBI and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Canadian golf writer Ian Hutchinson interviewed Canadian Open tournament director Bill Paul, who recalled a credible threat at the 2009 championship. And well-known author John Feinstein detailed some of the security efforts the New York State Police and the Secret Service instituted during the 2002 U.S. Open at Bethpage in his book, Open. If you haven't yet read Open, this writer respectfully recommends that you do so.
While obviously hoping that nothing like this ever happens again, your correspondent wishes to offer a hat-tip to all of you who work in law enforcement, security, and emergency medical response, as well as firefighters and military personnel. And yet, it still appears to be such a thankless job at times.

bducharm says:
When I heard about Boston, my first thought was "not surprised and why has it taken so long for something like this to happen". I work in the area of security (network and physical) and I pretty much knew something like this would happen eventually. Big events are tremendous targets and we MUST become more vigilant! I can only imagine what security will be like this coming year at college football games (Texas, Michigan, Ohio State, etc. that have over 100,000 people on a Saturday).

Atlastin-1, also known as Spastic paraplegia 3 protein A, Guanine nucleotide-binding protein 3, GTP-binding protein 3, GBP3, ATL1 and SPG3A, is a multi-pass membrane protein which belongs to the GBP family and atlastin subfamily. ATL1 / SPG3A is expressed predominantly in the adult and fetal central nervous system. Expression of ATL1 / SPG3A in adult brain is at least 50-fold higher than in other tissues. ATL1 / SPG3A is detected predominantly in pyramidal neurons in the cerebral cortex and the hippocampus of the brain. ATL1 / SPG3A is also expressed in upper and lower motor neurons (at protein level). A distinguishing feature of ATL1 / SPG3A is its frequent early onset, raising the possibility that developmental abnormalities may be involved in its pathogenesis. Missense SPG3A mutant atlastin-1 proteins have impaired GTPase activity and may act in a dominant-negative, loss-of-function manner by forming mixed oligomers with wild-type atlastin-1. Defects in ATL1 / SPG3A are the cause of spastic paraplegia autosomal dominant type 3 (SPG3), also known as Strumpell-Lorrain syndrome. Spastic paraplegia is a degenerative spinal cord disorder characterized by a slow, gradual, progressive weakness and spasticity of the lower limbs.

First, I am not a LuLaRoe consultant; I am not being compensated for this post. Next, if you're unfamiliar with the LuLaRoe brand, I recommend you read my earlier LuLaRoe post.
I like maxi dresses, but I hemmed and hawed for a few months before buying an Ana dress. This was partly because at $60, it's a little pricier than I want to pay for a dress. Second, I knew it wasn't going to be floor length on me because I saw from photos online that it's floor length on women who are shorter than I am. But when a friend threw a Facebook LLR party, I found an Ana dress in a pattern I liked, and I finally bought one. I'm 5'10," and my weight is usually around 160 pounds, so I generally wear a size 8 or 10 in clothes, depending on the brand. I bought the Ana in a Medium, which is supposed to fit dress sizes 8-10.
I love the pattern, and the dress fabric is very soft and comfortable. I also like the style, but I do have two concerns about the dress:
1. You may or may not be able to tell in the photo below, but it's really tight around my ribcage and my arms. I do have a large ribcage, and my waist is not very defined compared to my ribs and hips, so if you're a similar weight and dress size, you may not have this problem depending on your build. However, because of the tightness, I later purchased the LLR Julia dress (my favorite!!!!) in a Large.
2. I'm not thrilled about the awkward length of the dress on me. Again, I knew that was going to happen, so even before I ordered the dress, I knew it was going to have to be all about the booties. In these photos I'm wearing the dress with some casual flat booties, but I've worn the dress to work with black, high-heeled, ankle-length boots. The dress really shows off the boots, and I've received several compliments on them. I've tried wearing the dress with sandals and flats (shoes not boots), and it looks sooooo awkward, like I couldn't find a dress long enough. I snapped a quick photo at work, so you can see a dressier look with this Ana:
So the bottom line is that I probably won't buy another Ana again because they are expensive for a dress that really isn't long enough (or short enough!) for me. I think it would fit someone around 5′ 7″ a lot better.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
"You don't need teeth to eat our meat," boasts the barbecue joint's menu. Apparently you don't need legs to get take-out service, either. Just call ahead for some hickory-smoked pulled chicken sandwiches, collard greens, homemade cornbread, and succulent pork ribs, give another ring when you've pulled up to the front door, and the friendly folks inside will hurry outside with your order. It's like a bank drive-thru, but with no need to show ID. And given the lack of street-side parking and the somewhat unsavory neighborhood, the service is not just a good but a necessary idea. The trick, of course, is not to swill down the beef brisket before you even pull back into traffic.
Restaurants rarely make their own bread (so much easier to source it from a good bakery), and those that do frequently limit their production to one or two specialties. Not so Bizcaya Grill. Maybe it's because, given its location in the Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove, it has the space and resources to do it. No doubt having an overnight baker helps as well. But whatever the reason, the results are what you can count on, or depending on your mood, count calories on: fresh-baked Danish pastries and muffins for breakfast. Pain du chocolate and croissants at Sunday brunch. Parmesan buns and lemon brioche to partner burgers and fish sandwiches, respectively, for the midday meal. And at dinner the piéce de resistance -- pretzel bread dotted with coarse salt or pumpkin seeds. The object, of course, is not to eat so much of the bread that you have no appetite for the foie gras served with a shot of vinegar or the black-and-white rabbit cannelloni. But then, we were never ones to shy away from a challenge.
Readers Choice: Don Pan
Sit in a booth, or sidle up to the counter and enjoy a massive repast with any and all combinations of the breakfast staples that make you want to go right back to bed: ham, bacon, sausage, waffles, pancakes, eggs, biscuits, gravy, grits. Chuck Wagon breakfasts provide the caloric intake you would need for ploughing your fields or rounding up cattle (rather than sitting at your terminal, wondering if co-workers can hear your stomach gurgle through the cubicle walls). Breakfast is available all day, and specials last from 6:00 to 10:00 a.m. Daily specials include a two eggs, grits, and bacon breakfast for $2, and omelet and breakfast combos that change every day, but hover around the $4-$5 price range.
A perennial favorite in the dim sum category, Tropical -- surprise -- also serves a great din-din. Traditional dishes include Hong Kong-style roast pork flavored with five-spice and then roasted; seafood-spinach soup; and always crisp, always succulent Peking duck. But innovative items are equally reliable, if unusual -- flounder pan-fried with peppercorns and jalapeños and served with bananas marinated in rice wine, for example, offers interesting counterpoints of textures, as does cherry-plum chicken wrapped with diced water chestnuts and fresh bamboo in egg-white crêpes. A healthy wine list replete with floral Rieslings adds to the fine-dining effect, giving aficionados of all kinds reason to make Tropical an evening as well as morning destination.
To borrow a line from the old ad campaign for Arnold's rye bread, you don't have to be Jewish to eat kosher chocolate. Indeed whether you follow those dietary rules or not, the ultimate issue is taste, for which Krön is an ecumenical experience of the heavenly culinary variety. Its tantalizing array of candies, truffles, and dipped fruits are all made by hand with top-notch ingredients (and prices to match). Coffee and baked goods like brownies and cookies are also for sale, though the tables set out in the middle of the mall are decidedly unatmospheric. Recent ink on the store has hinted at expansion plans. Let's hope any new outlets include a proper café.
This charming crêperie replicates the design of a classic French café: the tile floors, the long wooden benches along the walls, lots of reading material lying about, and good, strong java. If the weather were cooler, one could easily picture a professorial type in corduroys perusing Le Monde over his afternoon espresso. Locals and tourists alike flock for the delicious savory and sweet crêpes, along with other simple fare like croque monsieur (the Gallic version of grilled cheese with ham), at prices that will make you wonder whether you are really still in South Beach. To avoid a wait, come earlyish on a weekend morning with a newspaper or a book, and ease into the day over a steaming bowl of café au lait.

Groundwater quality in the St. Johns River Water Management District
Groundwater quality in the St. Johns River Water Management District
Accurate groundwater quality information in the St. Johns River Water Management District (district) increases our understanding of the hydrogeologic, climatic and human factors that affect groundwater resources. The district's groundwater resource assessment section designs and constructs monitoring network observation wells, collects and evaluates geologic and hydrologic data, and performs detailed hydrogeologic investigations. The purpose of this web report is to describe the district's groundwater quality monitoring network, to summarize the major ion chemistry of water in the principal aquifers, to describe the geochemical patterns of water in the Floridan aquifer system, and to evaluate long-term trends.
Test wells are drilled so that scientists can monitor water quality and quantity.
The evaluation and interpretation of groundwater quality data requires knowledge of the hydrogeologic system and use of the appropriate methods for data analysis. The lithostratigraphy and structure of the geologic system control the nature and distribution of the hydrostratigraphic units and have distinct influence on the storage, movement and quality of groundwater. The hydrostratigraphic units are the aquifer and confining units of regional extent that are composed of sediments or rocks that have similar geologic characteristics and that subdivide the hydrogeologic system based on permeability. The hydrostratigraphic units identified within the district are the surficial aquifer, the intermediate confining/aquifer unit, and the units within the Floridan aquifer system. The aquifer units within the Floridan aquifer system include the upper permeable zone of the Upper Floridan aquifer, the Avon Park permeable zone (lower permeable zone of the Upper Floridan aquifer), and the Lower Floridan aquifer.
Groundwater quality monitoring network
The major focus of district groundwater quality monitoring is the Floridan aquifer system, which is the primary source of water for public supply and other uses. Regional groundwater monitoring assesses water quality resulting from hydrogeologic features, climatic conditions, groundwater flow patterns and long-term water use trends. Data analysis from a regional perspective allows for network optimization by minimizing monitoring wells and sampling frequency in areas that have shown insignificant variability, allowing for additional monitoring in those areas where significant variability has been documented or is projected to occur.
Subregional monitoring assesses groundwater quality related to localized hydrogeologic features and stresses to the aquifer system, such as water withdrawals. The data are used to describe localized spatial variability, water quality variability with depth and temporal water quality changes. The monitoring well network includes increased well coverage and sampling frequency in areas that have increasing trends in water quality variables, in areas near the potable and nonpotable groundwater interface, in areas of seawater intrusion along parts of the Atlantic coast, and in areas with projected water level drawdowns in the Upper and Lower Floridan aquifers.
Research divers take water samples and gather other data at Florida's springs at various times throughout the year.
The Floridan aquifer system water quality monitoring network includes 332 monitoring wells (as of September 2011). The network includes 277 Upper Floridan aquifer wells, 23 Avon Park permeable zone wells, and 32 Lower Floridan aquifer wells. The wells are sampled at frequencies of once or twice per year, depending upon the historical water quality trend and the location of the well relative to areas of groundwater quality concern. Surficial and intermediate aquifer wells are sampled twice after well completion to provide baseline data for these aquifers. The district also samples 21 springs four times per year.
Water quality data
Water quality samples from network wells are analyzed for the chemical constituents (major cations and anions) typically used as general indicators of groundwater quality. The data are used to characterize the major ion chemistry of each aquifer and to describe a variable's spatial variability, temporal trend and water quality changes with depth at a specific location. The major cation data evaluated include calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium. The major anion data include chloride, sulfate and alkalinity. Phosphate, nitrate + nitrite and fluoride are important minor anions. The concentration of total dissolved solids is also analyzed. Field measurements include temperature, pH and specific conductance.
The data characteristics realized from the exploratory data analysis, trend analysis and an understanding of the hydrogeologic environment are used to guide monitoring network design and the frequency of well sampling. Historical water quality data from active and inactive monitoring wells sampled through October 2009 were compiled and evaluated. A time-series graph of data for each well was used to display a variable's concentration versus time. The graphs provided information on the completeness of the period of record, the general level of temporal or seasonal variability, and the presence of outlier or extreme values that were obviously higher or lower than the historical values for a well.
Descriptive statistics provide information about the distribution and characteristics of a population. Descriptive statistics were calculated for each water quality variable by well, including the minimum, mean, median and maximum values as well as the range of data values, the range of sample dates and the number of samples. The median is the 50th percentile and is a better estimate of the central tendency of the data set than the mean.
A list of the water quality variables evaluated and the distribution of the concentrations for each variable by aquifer is presented in a box plot summary. Box plots are graphs used to show the distribution, tendencies and extremes in the data. Descriptive statistics were also calculated by variable for the population of all wells grouped by aquifer. These statistics include the minimum, mean, median and maximum values as well as the 10th, 25th, 75th and 90th percentiles.
Trend analysis statistical tests determine if the observed water quality changes that occur over time are due to random variability or statistically significant changes. Nonparametric Mann-Kendall and Sen's Slope statistical tests from S-Plus scripts were used to determine the significance of a trend and estimate the magnitude of the trend.
Geochemical patterns in the Floridan aquifer system
The chemical composition and the physical properties of water in the Floridan aquifer system represent the net effect of the processes that have dissolved, altered or precipitated the chemical constituents. Rainfall chemistry, land surface features, soil types and recharge, discharge and leakage relationships among aquifers influence groundwater quality. The lithology, structure and porosity of aquifer materials and the residence time of water affects the precipitation and dissolution of minerals as water moves along flow paths. Land uses, groundwater withdrawals and irrigation may also have an impact on groundwater quality.
Mineral solubility controls the chemical character of the water. The mineralogy of the aquifer material through which water flows determines which water type, or hydrochemical facies, will develop. The vertical and horizontal groundwater flow patterns control the distribution of the facies. The groundwater flow pattern is controlled primarily by the distribution of heads, or hydraulic pressure differences, within the hydrologic system. The distribution of heads is controlled by the relative topographic elevations, the location and effectiveness of recharge and discharge areas, and by variations in the transmissivity of the aquifer system.
Stiff diagrams and trilinear diagrams for 306 Upper Floridan aquifer wells that had complete analyses suitable for evaluation are used to portray these relationships between hydrogeology and geochemistry. A stiff diagram is a graphical representation of the proportions of dominant ions from a chemical analysis, with the concentrations in milliequivalents of cations plotted to the left of a vertical axis and anions plotted to the right of the axis. The shape formed by the stiff diagram allows for quick interpretation of the water type for each well. Water type nomenclature is based on the proportion of each cation and anion to the total of their respective groups.
A trilinear diagram provides a convenient method to display and compare water types from the Upper Floridan aquifer wells. Cation and anion concentrations for each well are plotted as percentages of their respective totals in two base triangles. The cation and anion relative percentages in each triangle are then projected into a diamond-shaped grid, showing clustering of wells that have similar chemical compositions. The diagram provides a convenient method to display and compare water types and to depict the evolution of groundwater chemistry as water moves along flow paths.
A trilinear diagram allows the classification of water by both its chemical composition and its source. Geochemical pattern analysis (for details, see the References page for Piper 1944; Frazee 1982; and Toth 1988) of water samples collected in the district suggests four general water types are present. These are: (1) fresh recharge water, (2) interface or transitional water, (3) connate (saline formation) water and (4) seawater. These types portray the chemical characteristics of the water as it flows through the Floridan aquifer system, starting with recharge waters and ending with saline formation waters or seawater.
A well's water type, when plotted on a map, allows for the interpretation of water quality in relation to geologic features, recharge and discharge areas and flow patterns. The similarity in water type among groups of Upper Floridan wells suggests that similar geochemical processes may be controlling major ion chemistry and that the waters had the same or similar origins and flow paths, revealing geochemical patterns in the flow system.
In areas of high-to-moderate recharge to the Upper Floridan aquifer, such as in the upland ridges or karst areas where the Floridan limestones are at or near land surface, residence times are relatively short and flow paths are generally shallow. The fresh recharge water has not reached equilibrium conditions with aquifer materials, and the water quality typically reflects climatic conditions, soil types, recharge from the surficial aquifer, and possibly human activities. The chemical composition of water in the Upper Floridan aquifer in high-recharge areas is characteristically low in concentrations of calcium, magnesium, chloride, sulfate, total dissolved solids (TDS) and other constituents.
In recharge areas, calcite dissolution reactions in shallow, well-developed flow systems account for the predominant Ca‑HCO3 water type. The Ca‑HCO3 water type is dominant in the Upper Floridan aquifer in the west-central area of the district; the DeLand ridge and areas to the east in Volusia County; the Crescent City ridge in southeastern Putnam County; and the Geneva hill in northeast Seminole County.
As water in the Floridan aquifer system moves along flow paths from recharge to discharge areas, the longer residence times allow more opportunity for the chemical composition of the water to be altered and for chemical reactions between the water and aquifer materials to reach equilibrium, resulting in increased TDS concentrations. The increased residence times and longer flow paths are evidenced by the chemical evolution of groundwater composition from the predominant Ca‑HCO3 water type to Ca,Mg‑HCO3; Ca,Mg‑HCO3,SO4; Ca,Mg‑SO4; Na‑Cl; and mixed water types.
As water in the Floridan aquifer system moves down gradient from recharge areas, such as near Keystone Heights in Clay County, a Ca,Mg‑HCO3 water type becomes prevalent. Dissolution of dolomite in the Floridan with increased residence time adds magnesium ions to the water. Dissolution of magnesium-rich clays and dolomite in the overlying Hawthorn Group sediments also contribute to magnesium ions as this overlying confining unit thickens to the north and east. The Ca,Mg‑HCO3 water type is prevalent in Clay County, western Duval County, Baker County, northwestern Putnam County, eastern Alachua County, eastern Marion County and southern Lake County. Chloride, sulfate, and TDS are typically low in these areas, with a thick lens of freshwater and low recharge occurring through the relatively thick confining units.
Sulfate concentrations are notably high in parts of eastern Duval, northern St. Johns and Nassau counties, where water in the Floridan aquifer has come into contact with gypsum in and at the base of the aquifer system as it travels along deep flow paths. Gypsum dissolution adds sulfate ions to the water, resulting in Ca,Mg‑HCO3,SO4 or Ca,Mg‑SO4 water types.
The chemical composition of water in the Upper Floridan aquifer in and near discharge areas along the St. Johns River and most of the Atlantic coast includes mixed and Na‑Cl water types. Hydraulic pressure conditions in discharge areas result in upward leakage of highly mineralized water into overlying formations or more direct upward movement of water through faults or fractures. This upwelling of highly mineralized water into upper parts of the Floridan aquifer occurs along the St. Johns River in parts of Brevard, Seminole, Orange, Lake, Volusia and Putnam counties. Mixed and Na‑Cl water types occur in the transition zone between the upwelling residual seawater and fresh groundwater to the east and west of the St. Johns River.
In areas of St. Johns County south of St. Augustine, as well as parts of Flagler, Brevard and Indian River counties, fresh recharge waters have not readily flushed residual formation waters still present in the Floridan aquifer, probably related to relatively flat flow gradients. This mixing of fresh groundwater with highly mineralized residual formation water results in mixed and Na‑Cl water types. In addition, lower hydraulic pressures in the Upper Floridan aquifer result in the upward movement of highly mineralized formation water in the tri-county agricultural area of St. Johns, Flagler and Putnam counties.
In coastal areas, a wedge-shaped body of seawater underlies fresh groundwater in the Upper Floridan aquifer. The zone between the fresh groundwater and seawater is the freshwater/saltwater transition zone. The freshwater/saltwater interface is the sloping surface between the freshwater and the underlying saltwater. Factors that influence water quality in this transition zone include the characteristics of the geologic strata, recharge and discharge, groundwater flow and pumping of wells. As water levels in the Floridan aquifer decline, the depth to the interface between fresh groundwater and seawater decreases and the transition zone migrates inland into areas of fresher water. This slow migration of saltwater into freshwater zones is known as seawater intrusion.
The mixing of fresh groundwater in the Upper Floridan aquifer with laterally intruded seawater from the Atlantic Ocean occurs in parts of Volusia and Brevard counties, resulting in a Na-Cl water type, with very high concentrations of TDS, calcium, magnesium, sulfate, and hardness. A transition zone between intruded seawater and fresh groundwater or residual formation water also occurs in other areas along the coast, resulting in a mixed water type. The current position of the transition zone does not reflect the full effect of current pumpage, as seawater intrusion may not become apparent for years following stresses on the aquifer.
The Ca‑HCO3 water type is prevalent in the Avon Park permeable zone in central Orange, southwestern Seminole and central Lake counties, with a mixed water type at increasing depths in the Lower Floridan aquifer. Toward the east, mixed to Na‑Cl water types are present, depending on well depth, as water moves along deeper flow paths with longer residence time. The mixing of fresh groundwater with residual formation seawater or the mixing with upwelling saline water from deeper zones also accounts for the mixed to Na‑Cl water types.
Declines in potentiometric levels of the Upper Floridan aquifer in some areas have increased the potential for the upward movement of highly mineralized water from lower zones to higher zones through leaky confining beds, structural geologic features and improperly constructed wells. Structural geologic features, such as faults or fractures, can provide pathways for the upward movement of water with high chloride concentrations into freshwater zones. In some northeastern areas of the district, structural geologic features in combination with decreasing hydraulic heads in freshwater zones are a likely cause for the mixed to Na‑Cl water types with increasing depth in the Floridan aquifer system.
The water quality conditions described are depicted in maps of the distribution of chloride, sulfate and TDS concentrations in the Upper Floridan aquifer. Drinking water standards have been established for chloride at 250 milligrams per liter (mg/L), sulfate (250 mg/L) and TDS (500 mg/L). These variables are of primary concern in the use of water from the Floridan aquifer for public supply. These variables are also the most useful variables in network design due to the number of wells sampled for these variables, the distribution of the wells and sampling history of the wells.

Rose wears a black sheer bathing suit cover-up and stands rigidly among the crowd, petrified by the closeness of so many bodies. Connor couldn't be more composed. He's like a chameleon, adapting to the drunken, party-like atmosphere with ease. He keeps her close, his hands on her hips, and normally she'd probably push him off. But I think the fear of ramming into someone and beer being spilt all over her cover-up and chest outweighs her fear of intimacy with Connor.
Melissa has all but forgiven Ryke. The make-out session helped in the cab, but the below the panties groping solidified her plans to stay in Cancun. I would have been more jealous last night if Lo wasn't sick. But his clammy skin and pale hue literally rerouted my whole mind. Even as I heard Melissa's giggles from the deck, pitch black outside—I didn't care all that much. I just wanted Lo to feel better.
Melissa is in a good mood now. She sits on Ryke's shoulders, clapping beside me as the next song starts.
A gust of smoke plumes up by my nose, and I sniff the salty air. Joints are lit all over this beach, the smells overpowering, but this one is so near that I look down. Daisy stands directly in front of Ryke and Lo, a cigarette pinched between two fingers. At least it's not pot. So there's that.
She effortlessly keeps the cigarette from burning anyone in close proximity, and she lifts her head to blow the smoke into the air away from other people. Except me, of course.
I've let Daisy smoke on numerous occasions. I didn't know my place to tell other people to stop when I can barely stop myself. I hate the thought of being a hypocrite. But I'm under the impression that Daisy only smokes recreationally. I imagine that recreation turning into a habit, which turns into an addiction. I just can't bear for Daisy to go through what I am.
Before I can say anything, Ryke plucks the cigarette right from her fingers and tosses it into the sand.
I don't see her reaction because the rapper has stopped singing and starts talking, the music still going on behind him. "Now I want to see more ladies in the air! On shoulders now! Let's go!" Girls start climbing on random guys' shoulders, being lifted into the air like Melissa and me.
Connor doesn't even ask Rose, probably knowing she would prefer to keep her feet planted firmly on the ground. Daisy taps a bandana-wearing guy in front of her. He gives her a long once-over from head to br**sts—mainly staying on her br**sts that fit in a neon green bikini, the fringe accentuating her boobs from a small B to a C.
"I'm light," she tells him. And then she whispers in his ear.
Melissa is watching Ryke with the utmost scrutiny, but he doesn't say a word.
The guy breaks into a big dopey grin, which is not good. I am thinking sexual things—like Daisy whispered to him that she will return the favor of sitting on his shoulders. Sexual favors, of course. But maybe that's just my dirty mind playing tricks on me again.
I put my hands on Lo's head and glance down at him. He is glaring at the guy. So…Maybe everyone is just as dirty as me. I grin at the idea.
The bandana guy bends down to let her on his shoulders.
When she's at my height, she turns a little and gives me a high-five, oblivious to the overprotective guys below me.
"Ladies! Say yeah!" The rapper chants.
"YEAH!" This is kind of fun. My smile takes over my face.
"Guys! Say f**k yeah!"
He continues a portion of his song, the beat pumping and my view officially gone with the amount of girls on shoulders.
"Now ladies!" He goes back to his talking. "It's Spring Break! Let's see those titties!"
Wait. What?
I go still while the girls around me respond by flinging off their bikini tops, as though the rapper said a magic word.
All I heard was titties, which has the opposite effect on my willingness to free-boob. Everyone hollers in drunken excitement, eyes wide at the sight of n**ples and springy parts.
Boobs of all sizes jiggle and bounce around me. I'm slapping Lo's face, his nose, his cheek—get me down. Down. I need down. Now.
Beside me, Melissa has already pulled the string to her top. Which is cool. She has pretty boobs. She drops her top on Ryke's head. He grabs it and looks up, exactly what she wanted.
I have nothing much to show off, and I am easily embarrassed. Clearly.
I do see a few other girls lowering from the air, not wanting to take part in this either.
"Daisy!" Rose screams from the ground.
Just as Lo sets me on my feet, I crane my neck and spot Daisy fingering the clasp on her back.
"Daisy!" I shout with wide eyes, equally as mortified as Rose. I do not want anyone to see my sixteen-year-old sister's boobs. If she wants to tear off her bikini top in two years then so be it—but not now.
Lo plants his hands on my shoulders. "Jesus Christ," he curses, trying to divert his eyes.
Daisy just looks at me, grinning from ear to ear.
Rose is about to swallow her anxiety and push through all of these bodies to reach Daisy and wring her neck. But then Daisy drops her hand with a laugh.
"Scare you?" she asks, waggling her brows.
Yes. She scared me, but at least she had no intention of doing it. That has to count for something.
Her eyes flicker beside me. Not to Lo, but to Ryke. His normally hard features are darkened slightly. And I think he's trying really, really hard not to call Daisy a tease, just to piss her off and start something.
It's what he does.
The longer she stares at Ryke, the more her smile fades. She turns her back to us, hunches forward and says something to the bandana guy. He lowers her to the ground, safely on Earth, and before she returns to our group, she continues talking with him, even with the loud music.
She nods a lot. He smiles even more. I don't like it. Because he looks in his late twenties and she's just a teenager.
And then his hand rests on her hip and starts traveling to her ass.
"I'm thirty seconds," Lo says under his breath, his eyes flickering to Ryke.
"I'm fifteen."
I frown. For what? To intervene?
Connor looks between them. "You both can't be serious."
Ryke glances at his watch. "Five…"
"She's a smart girl," Connor reminds them.
"She's sixteen," Lo says.
And then the guy slaps her ass, and Ryke is about to drop Melissa on the ground. But Daisy just smiles and waves goodbye to the guy and comes over to us. When she meets our faces, her smile contorts into a frown, confused like I was. Now I'm pretty positive there's too much testosterone pumping in this area.
"What's up with all of you?" Daisy asks. "Lo, you look like you're going to pop a blood vessel." He does. But she tries to shrug it off. "That guy told me a good place to swim with sharks. Anyone up for it?"
Everyone stays quiet.
And she deflates again. "What? What did I do?"
"That guy practically stuck his hand down your bathing suit," Ryke tells her, "and you didn't care."
Melissa has her arms crossed over her chest. Her mood is slowly tanking.
Rose shoots me a harsh look and mouths girl time. Yes. Definitely.
I take Daisy's hand, wanting air too but mostly wanting Daisy out of their judgmental gazes for a second.
"Wait, I didn't do anything wrong," she says. "He was just being nice."
"Are you really that naïve?" Lo questions. "Because if you are, we should consider sending you home before something terrible f**king happens."
"I'm not naïve," she says. "He was happy."
Ryke cringes. "You let him slap your ass because it made him happy?" Yeah, that doesn't sound right.
"Okay," I interject. "We're leaving. Right Rose?"
"Yes." She sets a glare on each of the guys.
Connor raises his hands. "I didn't say a word."
Her eyes soften at him. "You're exempt."
"Daisy," Ryke says with so much emotion to the name that shivers run down my arm. And it's freakin' hot out here. I think he wants to say a lot of things to her—give her some sort of pep talk about how she doesn't have to please other people to make herself feel better—that doing so will hurt her in the end. But Melissa leans her head down and starts whispering in his ear, deterring him from speaking his mind.
So Daisy says, "I'll see you around." And she actually drags me off towards a tiki bar that sits on the beach. Rose races behind us, wanting out of the mobs of people too.
We rest our elbows on the counter, and I buy a water bottle while Rose and Daisy wait for the bartender to blend their margaritas.
Rose raps her nails on the counter, antsy as always. "Daisy," she says. "Do you have something you need to tell us?"
Daisy stands between Rose and me, and she rocks on the balls of her feet. "I'm not going to sleep with that guy," she says. "I wouldn't. I just told him I thought he was good looking, and then afterwards, I asked him about sharks."
I frown. "Really?" It was that PG? Maybe all of us are so focused on sex. We're the gross ones.
"I mean, he said some suggestive things, but I wasn't trying to flirt back. Honest." She shrugs like it's nothing. "I'm used to it."
"Which part?" Rose asks icily. "The touching or the flirting? Because if you're going on photo shoots where the crew is putting a hand on you—"
"Nonono," she says, slurring the word like me when I'm trying to cover up a lie. "That has never happened. Mom comes with me. She wouldn't let anyone touch me inappropriately."
Rose believes her. She nods, but I stare at Daisy for a long time, not as trusting. Maybe because I have lied for so long that I can see right through it.
Daisy meets my worried gaze and she wraps an arm around my shoulder. "I'm okay, Lily."
I don't feel like she is.
I remember being young, trying to navigate what's wrong and what's right in a place where lines blur so very often. But I had Lo to fall back on—to make sure I didn't fall off the deep end and drown.
Daisy is thrust into this modeling world without all of us there to catch her. She's alone and confused. And I'm not sure how to fix that without telling her to quit. But she would never leave—not because of the money but because her career is related to our mother's happiness. And keeping our mother happy makes Daisy happy.
My phone vibrates, and I check the caller ID. Poppy.
I click off the phone and slip it back into the pocket of my jean shorts.
"Who was that?" Daisy asks, talking over the loud blender.
Rose glares at the bartender for being so slow, and Daisy's forehead wrinkles in confusion. "Why would you hang up on her?"
"I just don't feel like talking." It's the truth. And anyway, my relationship with Poppy is distanced at best. She's six years older, so by the time I entered ninth grade, she was two years into college and engaged.

Symmetry in facial features is thought to be especially attractive, but at Crossfit Solaria, the team is more focused on the beauty of symmetrical motion. During initial one-on-one consultations, trainers assess newcomers with the Functional Movement Screen, which helps them identify asymmetries and imperfections in clients' day-to-day movements and track their progress.
The golf fitness program helps players of all levels identify physical limitations that are affecting swings. With the assistance of a Titleist Performance Institute–certified instructor, golfers work toward improved ball distance and accuracy, injury prevention, and golf-swing efficiency.
The studio was founded to help clients correct these imbalances, and attain the alignment most conducive to fat burning. They achieve this with the help of their team of certified instructors through group classes and more intimate training sessions. Known as the "Art of Eight Limbs," muay thai kickboxing classes use pad training to help participants develop speed, power, cardiovascular endurance, and fighting spirit.

By Jerry Potter, USA TODAY
OAKMONT, Pa. Paula Creamer covered her face and cried after winning the U.S. Women's Open on Sunday.
Creamer shed the title of being the best women's golfer to not win a major, never wavering during a four-shot victory Sunday in the U.S. Women's Open and putting away a field that couldn't match her confidence or steadiness.
She should have given a thumbs-up sign because the victory, earned at historic Oakmont County Club, was improbable after she had surgery on her left thumb on March 30.
SCORES: U.S. Women's Open
PHOTO GALLERY: Highlights from Oakmont
"It just shows how much the mental side of golf can take over," said Creamer, who said she was about 60% recovered from the surgery. "I believed I could do this. I believed I could do this even when I had a cast on."
Creamer, winless in majors until now, was steady at Oakmont, never shooting higher than 72, and finishing with a 69 that left her 3 under par and four strokes better than Na Yeon Choi (66) of South Korea and Suzann Pettersen (69) of Norway.
She ranked among the top 10 in every significant statistic from fairways to greens to putts. She was third in fairways hit, putts and birdies, making 15 for the week.
In addition to Choi and Pettersen, In-Kyung Kim, Jiyai Shin, Inbee Park, Britanny Lang and Yani Tseng closed with scores in the 60s to make a run, but Creamer kept making pars to hold them off.
"There's a huge Asian influence on our tour," Creamer said of the LPGA. "We've proved in the last couple of months that the Americans are there."
Tseng of Taiwan won the Kraft Nabisco in the spring, a run of four consecutive international major winners, but Cristie Kerr, who was in contention before fading in Round 3, won the LPGA Championship two weeks ago and now Creamer has won the Women's Open. The final major is the July 29-Aug, 1 Women's British Open.
"I always think an American should be on this U.S. Open trophy," Creamer said. "It makes a statement."
For Creamer, this major title seems to have taken a long time to win. Though she's only 23, she has long been known as the best player to never win a major.
"I've always been a solid player," said Creamer, 23. "But the question has lurked: How come you never won a major? Now, I'll never get asked that question again."
Two years ago Creamer faded badly in the final round of the Women's Open.
Every successful pro has to learn to play a USGA championship, but Creamer might be the only one who had to have an injury and surgery to figure it out.
"Surgery isn't the answer for everyone," Creamer said. "I believe things happen for a reason. The last couple of months have made me a stronger person."
It has also made her a smarter player.
"Sunday is the day you win," said Creamer, 23. "You play three days to prepare for Sunday. It all comes down to the back nine."
She played the back nine at Oakmont 1 under par and kept both Choi and Pettersen from overtaking her. She made birdies on the 14th and 15th holes to mostly end any suspense.
"I think she kept her focus and concentration level throughout the week," said Choi, who won the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic a week earlier. "She did everything she could. It must be a very meaningful victory for her."
Indeed it is. Although she had eight career wins on the LPGA tour she had failed to win a major, something that troubled her until she injured her thumb and had to have surgery in March.
She spent two months recovering, wondering if she might never play again. She played one tournament before the surgery, and three after it. She missed the cut last week in her final tuneup.
"I prepared for this week for the last three months," she said.
Over and over she questioned herself about the past; about disappointments in the majors, especially this one.
"My problem was that I'd never had four good days in a major," she said.
She knew she need to be patient because her thumb, although healing, was painful. It swelled so much during a round that she said she was afraid to remove the bandage.
"It was different, that's for sure," she said. "I wanted to be aggressive, but I stayed with my plan. There were some shots I couldn't hit because of my hand."
Oakmont was considered the hardest venue ever played for a Women's Open. When the U.S. Open was played here in 2007, Angel Cabrera won at 5 over. The setup for the Women's Open was shorter and softer, especially after heavy rain Friday.
Still, most of the subpar scores didn't come until Sunday when eight of the tee markers were moved up. The players responded with 10 rounds in the 60s, including a low of 65 from Song-Hee Kim of South Korea.
Creamer was the only player who shot three sub-par rounds, consistent 70s in Round 2 and 3 before the closing 69.
"I feel like I've learned to play major championships," she said. "The punishment (for bad shots and bad decisions) is so much greater in them."

Quick pushes Kings to brink of Stanley Cup
Credit: The Associated Press
NEW YORK — It turns out Jonathan Quick and the Los Angeles Kings are just as good with the lead as they are without it.
That leaves the New York Rangers with little hope of making much of a series out of the Stanley Cup finals.
Quick stopped 32 shots in his best start of the series, Jeff Carter scored in the final second of the first period, Jake Muzzin and Mike Richards added goals in the second, and the Kings beat the Rangers 3-0 on Monday night to move within one win of their second Stanley Cup title in three years.

Etudes for Cello Solo
- (Simone Ceppetelli)
- Format: CD
- Features: 2PC
|your cart is empty
Jean Louis Duport was one of the most important and influential composers for the cello in the first half of the 19th century. A virtuoso himself, he wrote a treatise on the cello, introducing new techniques, expanding the possibilities of the instrument to a great extent. As a demonstration of his new instrumental style he wrote 21 Etudes, in which all his inventions are incorporated. They are extremely difficult, requiring a virtuoso technique and deep musical insight, lifting the etude above the level of a mere exercise to a work of art. This recording, a world premiere, uses a second cello as a continuo basis, and is played with gut strings, as was usual in Duport's time. A must for cellists, cello lovers and anyone interested in early 19th century French instrumental music.

Strategies for Managing the Media Meltdown
The recession has accelerated systemic changes in the media landscape: audiences are fragmenting more, taking more control, and seeking inexpensive – or free – alternatives. The music industry is looking like the coalmine canary for print, and TV and filmed entertainment are looking over their shoulders. Meanwhile, the Internet is driving social media and online video, with mobile on the horizon. And Forrester executive surveys show that tech business decision makers are even heavier users of social media than the masses. This presentation will look at trends on both the demand and supply side of media, and sketch out strategies and tactics for messaging in the emerging new(est) media.
Speaker: David Card is vice president, principal analyst at Forrester Research. Card is a leading expert on marketing and advertising, media and entertainment, and consumer media behavior.

Are the French losing their mind? Fortunately not. More than two-thirds of the country would oppose the ban, according to an Ifop poll, so there's hope that even in the land of égalité there's some recognition that state power cannot equalize everything. It's also reassuring to know that a majority of French adults believe there's something to be said for instructing children in the need for personal initiative and responsibility, regardless of excuses or circumstances.
