Hard-Fought Race Day In Canada For Burton Racing
Posted by: newsla on Jul 17, 2014 - 06:21 AM
Hard-Fought Race Day In Canada For Burton Racing
After taking a hit in the opening 20 minutes of Round 7 of the IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge, the No. 23 BMW Automotive Chemicals/Excelda BMW 128i piloted by Mike LaMarra and Terry Borcheller fought back to take an eighth place finish at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park on Saturday, with the No. 22 Gold Eagle BMW 128i of Greg Strelzoff and Connor Bloum coming home to the checkered flag not far behind in 11th .
LaMarra and Strelzoff started the 2.5-hour race behind the wheel of their respective BMW 128i machines, moving up early before settling into a race pace to work through the traffic-filled field.
Unfortunately for the No. 23 entry, that upward mobility suffered after contact from another ST car at high speed near Turn 5 forced LaMarra off track and caused significant damage to the front of the car as well as costing eight positions on the spot. LaMarra was able to keep racing with the stricken car, staying out on track to make the most of what he had before pitting as the race neared the one hour mark with the first full course caution, turning the car over to Borcheller in 19th position.
Running a similar strategy as the No. 23 car, Strelzoffâs stint in the No. 22 played out much less dramatically. After jumping up two spots from his starting position at the drop of the green flag, he then fought his way through the field, consistently improving his lap times even in spite of wearing tires before he handed the car over to Bloum in 22nd position at the 1.5-hour mark.
Quick pit stops on both Burton Racing machines saw them both cycle out positions ahead of where they entered and both Bloum and Borcheller made the most of the restart as Borcheller hopped up to 14th while Bloum moved up to run 19th.
Borcheller and Bloum quickly began working their way up the field while keeping an eye on fuel levels, trying to conserve in what looked to be shaping up to be a fuel strategy-dependent finish. However, multiple yellows in the second half of the race allowed both Burton Racing machines to drive full-out without worry of fuel. Borcheller and Bloum drove to the limit, consistently besting their lap times and even laying down their fastest laps in the last five minutes of the race.
âIt was definitely an exciting race, and ultimately a good one,â said Team Manager Keith Burton. âThe No. 22 car started a little farther back so they had a bit of an uphill battle to face, but both Greg (Strelzoff) and Connor (Bloum) did a great job and Connor was even putting down his fastest lap times in the last few laps of the race. The No. 23 car was also doing really well and itâs unfortunate that the Mazda got into them. But Mike (LaMarra) did a good job of keeping the car out there and Terry (Borcheller) ran well to the end. All in all it was a good day and we got some solid points, so now we are looking forward to Indianapolis. That is our home race and many of our friends, family and sponsors will get to come out and see what we do and we won there last year, so we are looking forward to showing them a good result.â
At the drop of the checkered flag Borcheller brought home the No. 23 to an impressive eighth place finish, in spite of fighting a difficult car his entire stint thanks to contact early on. Bloum brought the No. 22 car home to a solid 11th place finish.
Burton Racing now looks forward to successfully defending their big 2013 win at the track in the home race in Indianapolis on July 24-25.
Driver Quoteboard:
Terry Borcheller, No. 23 BMW Automotive Chemicals/Excelda BMW 128i â âMosport is a hard place to race anyway just because of how fast the track is and how few places there are to pass. It is definitely a fun track, but it is hard to race, especially with how different all the cars in this series are. And with our car hurt it made for a pretty frustrating race. It made it very difficult to advance and it was very difficult even to defend. But all in all for the condition of the car and the difficulty that Mike (LaMarra) had in his stint I think we came out pretty lucky with eighth place points.â
Mike LaMarra, No. 23 BMW Automotive Chemicals/Excelda BMW 128i â âThe guys did a great job getting the car ready. The engine was strong and the handling was good. I was getting some nice runs on the back straight in the draft. I was running some really good times and there was a long line of cars that was really fun to run in. The No. 74 Honda and I were drafting each other in the back straight and we got alongside Pombo underneath the bridge when he moved over and got into my front right which put me off track on the left, and onto the apron which gave me some flat spots in the tires. I was able to gather it up and re-join, but at that point the vehicle dynamics had changed due to the front end damage. But I got back out on track and was able to keep the car at a competitive pace and hand the car off to Terry. The crew did a great job on the pit stop and then Terry did a great job of being out there and hanging on with the car. All things being equal eighth is a pretty great finish.â
Connor Bloum, No. 22 Gold Eagle BMW 128i â âIt was a tough race. There were a few cautions there at the end and thankfully we got lucky with the fuel on that so we could run to the end. We were a little down on the power, but the handling of the car felt pretty good and I was able to make my way up the pack and hopefully we can get some more things figured out for Indy. I really love this track though, itâs probably in my top-three favorite tracks now, so it was fun to get so many laps around here.â
Greg Strelzoff, No. 22 Gold Eagle BMW 128i â âMy stint was a lot of fun! This was my first time here at this track, but I really like it. Honestly, I wish I had more laps around this track. We had that long green during my stint and I was actually going faster on older tires, so that was really good. The guys did a great job and gave me such a good car, so thanks to them and Connor did an amazing job during his stint as well so I am pleased.â

US kiwi expert awarded NZ's highest accolade
US kiwi expert awarded NZ's highest accolade
20 March 2014
US Embassy Chargé d'Affaires a.i. Marie Damour congratulates Smithsonian National Zoo senior bird keeper Kathleen Brader for today becoming an Honorary Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit.
Ms Brader received the honour for her kiwi-conservation efforts at the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington DC. During her 25 years at the zoo she has successfully hatched and raised six kiwi, created a kiwi education campaign, chaired the Species Survival Program and written numerous publications on protecting the endangered bird.
Ms Damour said Brader's award placed her among a rare group of non-New Zealanders distinguished by the honour.
"Her devotion and commitment exemplify the partnership between the United States and New Zealand on conservation and cultural recovery," she said.
Recently, Ms Brader oversaw a project which collected kiwi feathers to be repatriated to New Zealand.
The feathers were ceremonially gifted to New Zealand Ambassador to the United States Mike Moore in September 2012 before being returned to New Zealand and presented to Auckland Zoo and Ngati Whatua. The feathers were eventually used in the weaving of traditional Maori cloaks.
The Smithsonian now collects feathers from zoos in the US and Europe and sends them to Maori elders in New Zealand each year.
"Kiwi feathers have a great cultural significance to Maori and Kathleen has done an outstanding job of both collecting them and providing them to New Zealand," Ms Damour said.
Ms Brader said she was "completely blown away" by the honour.
"I still have a hard time believing that I have been picked for this tremendous accolade.
"Though I am an American by birth I am a kiwi by heart, and I hope this honour will help me in promoting kiwi overseas," she said.
Ms Brader was appointed to the New Zealand Order of Merit by Prime Minister John Key in December 2012 and received her award in a ceremony at Government House earlier this afternoon.
While in New Zealand, Ms Brader will visit Wellington Zoo and wildlife sanctuary Zealandia.
Further Information:
In 1975, the Smithsonian National Zoo was the first institution to hatch a kiwi chick outside New Zealand and currently has seven kiwis in its collection. Today, the Smithsonian is one of only five zoos outside New Zealand to have hatched kiwi chicks.

Politics of Monday, 12 November 2012
Source: GNA
The Western Regional branch of the Nana Addo for President 2012 (NOFP) on Monday alleged that some people are clandestinely replicating biometric voter ID cards of unsuspecting people.
Mr. Sampson Nimako Darko, Regional Coordinator of NOFP, announced this at a media encounter at Takoradi on Monday.
The Ghana News Agency observed that Mr Darko displayed photocopy of some of the Voter ID Cards produced at Darkokrom, a suburb of Kojokrom, near Takoradi.
Mr. Darko said the case has been reported to the Western Regional Police Command, which gave the assurance that the Police would work with the Electoral Commission (EC) to investigate the matter for the appropriate action to be taken.
He called on the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as well as other opposition political parties to join hands and demand from the EC detailed voter's register with photographs and other details of bearers to prevent rigging of election 2012.
Mr. Darko appealed to the EC to educate the electorate on election modalities and to remain neutral in the discharge of its duties.

Maybe that's why most of the feedback on my recent podcast was about the list of "don'ts" - things that you can cut out of a software project to save time. Or maybe people just found some of this advice surprising. Let's count down the greatest hits.
6) Travel
Traveling takes a lot of time. You might think that it's going to speed up your project by bringing different parts of your team together. However, if you know how to manage a distributed team, it's actually a lot faster just to sit down wherever you are and get the work done.
5) Architect in advance
Agile gurus recommend that you design "as late as possible" - ALAP - meaning that you wait until you need to implement something before you add it to your architecture. But, most engineers find it unsettling to start a big project without an architecture to match. Even the people who say they like ALAP often don't really practice it (sort of like pair programming). But, the reasoning behind the ALAP idea is very sound. If you wait to do something, you might never have to do it. The project might go in a different direction, or be canceled, or be great in a simpler form, or you might figure out a better way to do it. The work you didn't do is 100% time savings.
4) Add project managers
We all know that bigger teams are slower. According to the statistics in the big fat book "Software Assessments and Best Practices" from Capers Jones, my favorite bedtime reading, programmers are not responsible for this problem. Actually, teams get slower when you add project managers.
3) Conference call
I have noticed something when we go to "rescue" a project. If the team spends a lot of time on conference calls, the project is probably delayed. Maybe the delay causes the phone time. All I know is that conference call time is closely correlated with project failure. It's best to avoid conference calls. You should write down your tasks in tickets, hold a quick stand-up meeting, and maybe keep a chat thread running. If you start setting up conference calls, your people will be bored, and you might get sucked into a time warp. In the two years since I started making this claim, I have never heard someone say "I worked on this project with a lot of conference calls, and it went great!" This never happens. Prove me wrong, I dare you.
2) Interview
It takes a long time set up job interviews, and some time to do them. If you go straight from a resume to a paid trial task, you get to the work more quickly. You might also get better results. Job interviews are deceptive. You might think you are hiring someone because they proved they can do a good job, but statistically, about half of the time, they are just good at interviews, or they matched some preconceived notion that you had about what a good person would look like. That's why orchestras often hold auditions behind a screen. Try trials.
1) Estimate
A lot of technology, skill, and time goes into estimating how long things will take. In many cases, this expenditure of time and treasure is useless. Maybe you can skip the estimates, and get your real work done faster, or take the time that you save and do something equally useless on Facebook or Twitter. Let's look at the cases where the time estimate is useless:
- You already know what order you are going to do things in, and no estimate is going to change that. This is the big escape route. If you can get things into priority order, with a good roadmap, you will not need to estimate.
- You already know how much time and money you are willing to spend on the project. This is the typical reality. It doesn't matter what your estimate comes to. The project is worth a certain amount of time and money. As an entrepreneur, I totally sympathize with this time-boxing money-boxing approach, and I recommend it. Given a new product idea, I am perfectly happy to say that it should take X weeks to build and not more. A bigger organization might pretend that they care about how long you think it SHOULD take, but most of the time, they are lying to make you feel better, or self delusional. You can deal with this by using the agile method of prioritizing, and always having something that you can ship, however incomplete.
- The estimate is going to be wrong anyway. There are ways to improve estimates (reduction to detail, self-estimates, historical velocity, etc.) However, some projects have a lot of dependencies and undertainty, and over a certain size of project, the estimates are almost always wrong. You can use the tactic of tracking your estimates and comparing them to actual velocity. If the estimates get better with this technique, then keep doing it. If they keep going off track, then maybe it's best to give up, and just prioritize better.
Now that I am at it, there's more. These aren't tasks to skip, but rather, situations to avoid altogether.
Do anything with a fixed specification
You may feel like a winner when you purchase services using a fixed specification, but if getting to a spec takes longer than doing the services, you lose.
Divide work geographically
It might seem like clever management, a nice simplification of roles, to send your requirements to Chicago, your coding to Bangalore, and your testing to Lima. I think this wastes talent and makes your life harder. Why not hire people in all of your locations that can handle the complete process?
Use synchronous collaboration (phone, video, screen sharing) to manage fast-moving situations
It's the job of a good manager to avoid fire drills, emergencies, and any type of fast-moving situation. People should have enough time to do good work.

As the last Friday of the Pittsburgh Steelers season is among us, that means that the final Friday injury report was released. On the list, already pronounced out for the finale, is wide receiver Mike Wallace (Hamstring), who may have already played his last season in Pittsburgh.
If the Steelers do decide to part ways with Wallace after the season, it is likely to push the wide receiver position to the forefront of the draft preparations. At this point, only Antonio Brown and Jerricho Cotchery are signed through 2013, with Emmanuel Sanders scheduled to be a restricted free agent.
While the team did go into the 2012 season with only four wide receivers on the opening day roster, they did have the advantage of a healthy Heath Miller in the fold. With Miller coming off a significant knee injury (ACL/MCL), it is unlikely they can build the opening day roster the same way in 2013. Wide receivers that could draw some attention early in the NFL Draft are Keenan Allen from Cal or Terrance Williams from Baylor.
Joining Wallace on the sideline will be offensive tackle Mike Adams (Ankle), linebacker Marshall McFaddon (Abdomen) and cornerback Curtis Brown (Ankle). Of the three, only Brown had been playing an extended role on defense and special teams and their loss will be minimal.

I don't consider myself a huge kiss fan but I do own all their music, I am missing some from the vinyl collection though. I will probably buy revenge and psycho circus because I don't own them on vinyl. The used price on revenge is high and maybe this will bring it down.

The Florida scrub-jay is Florida's only endemic bird, and is classified as "threatened".
When we discovered a family of 5 jays on the property at B.B. Brown's Gardens, we knew that it was our calling to create a habitat for these birds to avoid their collision course with extinction.
We turned to our partners at NWF for help.
As our plans developed for creating The Florida Scrub-Jay Consortium, Inc.", a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization, NWF was by our side providing the seed money through the Wildlife Conservation Fund – "Keep the Wild Alive" program. This marked the official beginning of the Florida Scrub-Jay Trail, created to connect corridors of habitat for scrub-jays throughout the state of Florida.
Our NWF grant allowed us to build a large informational kiosk, which was designed and constructed by a local high school. We were also able to procure and plant hundreds of scrub plants and trees to begin the transition from fallow citrus grove to viable scrub for the jays to call home. Today, hundreds of volunteers dubbed "Trailblazers" work tirelessly as they continue the restoration of the Trail.
The Animal Planet TV show "Backyard Habitats", featuring NWF's own Dave Mizejewski, paid a visit to the Florida Scrub-Jay Trail to shoot a segment on the Florida scrub-jay, which successfully captured the mating of a pair of jays. Look for this show airing today.
As visitors come to the Trail, they are made aware of the contribution by NWF to the preservation efforts of the Florida scrub-jay, and the impact made on wildlife preservation around the world.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/8/2013 (1476 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Winnipeg Art Gallery's centennial exhibition, 100 Masters: Only in Canada, has had its run extended until Labour Day on Sept. 2.
"This exhibition has obviously resonated with people, making it the best attended show in the WAG's history and a fitting tribute for the WAG's Centennial," says Stephen Borys, WAG Director and CEO. "As of yesterday, over 40,000 people have seen the show and we are anticipating final attendance of 50,000."
100 Masters: Only in Canada, originally scheduled to close on August 18, brings together some of the world's greatest artists under one roof, including Rembrandt, van Gogh, Renoir, Monet, Picasso and Warhol. Thirty Canadian and American galleries have lent their finest masterpieces to this exhibition celebrating Canada's oldest civic art gallery.
Art Eats, private tours of the exhibition that include dinner at Storm Bistro, sold out so quickly that two more were added to the original three — and also sold out. A sixth Art Eats will now take place on Wednesday, August 28. Art Eats tickets can be purchased online at wag.ca or by calling 204-789-1290. Exhibition tours will also take place every weekend until the end of August.
Hours of operation for the WAG and the Gallery Shop until the close of the exhibition:
- Monday, Tuesday: 11 a.m.-5 p.m.
- Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday: 11 a.m.- 9 p.m.
- Sunday: 10 a.m.- 6 p.m.
- Monday, Sept. 2: 9 a.m.- 5 p.m.

Saxo Bank has agreed to comply with additional red tape to continue doing business in Australia, as a consequence of its role in the collapse of broker Sonray Capital Markets.
After an investigation by the corporate regulator, Saxo Bank agreed to additional licence conditions including reviewing its risk management systems and reporting bi-annually on the level of investors' funds.
Liquidator Ferrier Hodgson confirmed yesterday that it had separately secured a deal with Saxo Bank and accounting firm HLB Mann Judd to pay investors $38.5 million for the role of the two firms in the collapse.
Australian Securities and Investment Commission chairman
The $38.5 million settlement deal between the liquidator, Saxo, and HLB Mann Judd will return as much as 70¢ in the dollar to the 3500 investors who lost $76 million in the 2010 collapse. The settlement also puts an end to potential legal claims against the Copenhagen-based bank, which had financed Sonray, including the $6.9 million claim brought by former Patrick Stevedores chief and Sonray investor
The deal was at risk of falling over because it required the approval of the collapsed broker's big investors.
Since September 2004, Saxo Bank has held a licence to provide financial services on a wholesale basis. Under that licence, Saxo contracted with a number of retail licensees in Australia, including Sonray, to trade financial products on Saxo Trader.
Under the revised licence, Saxo will be able to provide financial services directly to retail clients after acquiring control of Commodity Broking Services in December last year.
The former chief executive of Sonray, Scott Murray, was sentenced to five years' imprisonment in October last year, with a minimum of 2½ years. In sentencing Murray, Victorian Supreme Court judge Lex Lasry also criticised Saxo Bank.

Not only highlighting her killer instinct, the newly released trailer also shares how Hanna is longing to have an ordinary life.
Following the first trailer that was debuted over a month ago, an international trailer for "Hanna" has now gone online. It has more scenes which reveal the other side of Hanna, who wants to have an ordinary life and make friends while she is raised to be a tough killer.
Raised by her father, an ex-CIA man, in the wilds of Finland, Hanna's upbringing and training have been one and the same, all geared to making her the perfect assassin. Once she is ready, her father who is an ex-CIA man sends her into the world on a mission.
Hanna journeys stealthily across Europe while eluding agents dispatched after her by a ruthless intelligence operative with secrets of her own. As she nears her ultimate target, Hanna faces startling revelations about her existence and unexpected questions about her humanity, but she is not prepared for these.
Saoirse Ronan stars as Hanna and Eric Bana plays Hanna's father, with Cate Blanchett portraying the ruthless intelligence operative. "Atonement" and "Pride and Prejudice" director Joe Wright takes the helming duty for the "boldly original suspense thriller" that is set to hit theaters Stateside on April 18.

Hi, kath,
The CSS that you've attached doesn't reveal which HTML elements are supporting/surrounding that image. We need to see the HTML together with the CSS to determine how they work together. A link to your site would be most helpful.
Here is the link:http://ectpro.co/drain/
style.css Line 528:
#branding {

The above RED code is creating the gray line. You can delete the border or change its color to fix the problem.

Alternative to Overdraft Protection
Money Tip: Alternative to Overdraft Protection
Online banking makes tracking expenses much easier than the days of checkbook registries, but it doesn't ensure you're safe from overdrawing your account. Spending money we don't have always comes with a price, whether in the form of credit card interest of overdraft protection fees from your bank.
If an outstanding check slips your mind and it bounces because you spent money that you didn't really have, overdraft protection can cost about $20-$30 each time you use it. Instead of opting for this type of protection, ask your bank to link your checking account to your savings account in order to save on fees. The cost of transferring funds from one account to the other is typically a fraction of a standard overdraft fee.

ABC announces plans to move the late-night talk show to the more competitive entertainment programming time slot.
After ten years, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" is ready to give "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and "Late Show with David Letterman" some competition. The midnight talk show will be moved to 11.35 P.M. in January next year, prompting "Nightline" to shift an hour later to 12:35 A.M.
"Given the passionate fan base Jimmy Kimmel Live has built over the past decade, and the show's ratings and creative momentum this season, the time is right to make this move," said Anne Sweeney, president of Disney ABC Television Group, in a statement.
Jimmy Kimmel himself is pleased with the move, saying "I have been quietly hoping for this. It's a thrill to go up against the big guys, and you feel like when you go up against the big guys you're hosting a real talk show and not a talk-show fantasy camp. In any job, you want to please your employer, and I think this is about as good a vote of confidence as we could get."
Sweeney said the move will help the show, which has gained 3 percent rise in ratings last season, to earn more ads. "There is the potential for far greater upside over the long term with this shift, given increased advertiser demand for competitive entertainment programming in the time slot," she said.

Islamic finance is a foreign concept to most Australian investors. But if you know a little about sharia-compliant investing, you are probably aware that at its most basic level, payment or acceptance of interest – "riba" – is forbidden.
Momentum is slowly building locally to develop the Islamic finance market, which has more than $1 trillion in investments around the world.
This so-called "ultra ethical" investing is not restricted to the half-million Muslims living here. "Once the Australian market gets a taste of this product, gets a feel of it and not be scared off by some of the words, I think it will take off," says Talal Yassine, managing director of Crescent Wealth.
"There is a big market for investing in deleverage conservatively for the long run and mitigating risk and caring where your money goes." Former investment banker Yassine says Crescent is the first local full-service Islamic-finance wealth manager.
Under Islamic principles, paying or receiving interest is viewed as someone using their money to oppress another.
Instead, a capital provider must take some risk in an investment, as in the form of a joint venture, even if the split is 99:1 between the capital provider and partner.
Banks are off the investment list because interest is their lifeblood. So too are alcohol, weapons, tobacco, gambling, pornography and pork, because of a requirement for "ultra ethical" asset classes.
Equity investments can only be made in businesses with a debt-to-equity ratio of less than one-third, and with less than 70 per cent of income in receivables.
"We'd be Australia's most conservative investors and ethical in nature, based on principles . . . that have been around for 1500 years and have been tested and proven," Yassine says.
Since opening the business last year, Yassine has attracted Muslim organisations such as mosques and schools to invest in his Australian equities and cash funds.
"There's 500,000 Muslims in Australia but there's no product for them," he says. "Nobody has ever offered them a reliable product that is sharia compliant and meets or beats the market."
He estimates managing Muslim community superannuation is a $4 billion to $5 billion industry.
But the real goal is to attract a wider clientele, as in the US, where one of the world's biggest Islamic finance funds, managed by Saturna Capital, is worth $US3.7 billion ($2.8 billion). It is run by a non-Muslim Texan. Yassine says about 90 per cent of Islamic finance investors in the US are not Muslim.
Former Telstra executive and ex-Macquarie Group banker T
He believes the retail Islamic finance sector has considerable potential here because of attributes similar to ethical funds.
"Because of the nature of those products they may appeal to Muslims and non-Muslims alike," says Pretty, who is a member of Crescent Wealth's advisory board.
"The reason I got involved is because Talal is an incredibly well-respected, conservative guy who comes with a good corporate pedigree, and the management team are of the highest ethical and governance background," Pretty says.
Yassine is a board member of Sydney Ports, Macquarie University and the Whitlam Institute. He previously worked for investment and advisory firm Babcock & Brown between 2006 and early 2008, before it collapsed in 2009 during the global financial crisis.
Yassine is quick to point out that Islamic finance is very different to the racy world of investment banking. "We're a wealth manager so we're not taking that kind of risk," he says.
"I'm building an annuity-style business with very low risk."
Crescent's Australian equities fund has about $5.5 million under management by Sigma Funds Management. Global insurer Aon Hewitt is a seed investor.
Crescent's cash fund is targeting more than $20 million in investments before launching. It will invest in commodities, or "murabaha", such as gold or palm oil, using a deferred payment term. It should deliver a return of about 3 per cent to 4 per cent which will hedge savings against inflation.
"It will predominantly be Muslim organisations in the cash fund," Yassine says.
"It won't make any sense for the broader community to invest in the cash fund."
There are also plans to set up an international equities fund, an Australian property fund and a super product later this year.
Liberal senator Cory Bernardi has criticised government moves to make tax rules more accommodating of Islamic finance, saying Australia was bowing to sharia. A Board of Taxation report made recommendations to the government in June last year and there could be an announcement in Tuesday's budget.

Set up 2-Step Verification
2-Step Verification: email template for administrators
Here's a sample communication you can send or post to users when you roll out 2-Step Verification to your G Suite users. For more about 2-Step Verification, see About 2-Step Verification.
Important tips for deploying 2-Step Verification
If your G Suite domain hasn't yet migrated over to new infrastructure:
- Your users won't be able to enroll in 2-Step Verification by going to https://www.google.com/accounts/SmsAuthConfig. Instead, instruct your users to follow these steps to get to their 2-Step enrollment page.
- The URL https://www.google.com/accounts/IssuedAuthSubTokens won't take your users to the Authorized Access to your Google Account page. Instead, instruct your users to follow these steps to generate an application-specific password for their mobile device.
See Tips for deploying to users for more information.
2-Step Verification
As part of our security policy, we're moving to a new sign in process for our G Suite accounts, called 2-Step Verification. 2-Step Verification adds an extra layer of security by requiring you to enter a verification code (similar to a PIN) after you enter your usual username and password to sign in. You receive the verification code through your mobile phone.
Why are we doing this?
2-Step Verification helps protect your account from unauthorized access due to a compromised password. Even if your password is cracked, guessed, or otherwise stolen, an attacker can't sign in without a verification code, which only you can obtain via your own mobile phone.
Here's what you'll see when you sign in with the new 2-Step Verification process:
Next steps for you:
- Sign up for the training session (If you have set up a demo or training session for your users)
- Be sure to have a mobile phone available. The verification code is sent by text message or voice call, or can be generated by Google Authenticator, a mobile application you download to your Android, BlackBerry, or iPhone.
- Set up your account for 2-Step Verification! Follow the instructions here.
Important dates:
- (date): Enrollment in 2-Step Verification starts
- (date): Deployment day where IT staff can assist you with setup
- (date): Additional demonstration/support sessions available
- (date): You should be registered and using 2-Step Verification!
2-Step Verification FAQ
When do I need to enter a verification code? Do I need to enter the code every time I sign in?
You need to enter a new code every 30 days or after deleting your web browser's cookies. On the sign in page click the option to "Remember verification for your computer" on your computer, and you won't have to re-enter your code for 30 days. Do not select this option for a public computer, such as a shared computer in an Internet cafe.
The verification code is used only to sign in to your G Suite account and not any other of our company's applications.
Will my password change?
No, your password stays the same.
What if I don't have my mobile phone when I need to sign in or I have trouble with the codes?
During the setup process, you will receive codes that you can write down and use when you don't have your phone. Otherwise, you can contact (your company's support contact), who can temporarily disable 2-Step Verification.
I just enrolled in 2-Step Verification, and now I can't access email on my phone.
After you enroll in 2-Step Verification, for any mobile devices or desktop applications that stop accessing Google (including IMAP email clients), create an application-specific password and enter it into the device/application instead of your normal password. This is a one-time process--(see Application-specific passwords).

2012 NBA Draft Recap: Kentucky Wildcats Make History
The 2012 NBA Draft had social media networks popping last night, as history was made. Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist of Kentucky were the first and second draft picks overall, respectively, marking it the first time two players were picked from the same team consecutively. Davis, often mocked for his unibrow, was drafted by the New Orleans Hornets, while Kidd-Gilchrist went to the Charlotte Bobcats. "No. I was shocked at first," Kidd-Gilchrist said, revealing he and Davis did have any idea of the history the Kentucky Wildcats were going to make that night. "I was shocked. But no, we didn't. We didn't at all." NBA's official YouTube channel released a quick re-cap of the night's historic moment, but if you're looking for a full recap, head over the ESPN to relive what went down.

The European Central Bank's new government bond purchase programme might not be needed in a few years' time, ECB policymaker Christian Noyer said, counting on the plan's force to calm financial markets.
The new programme has buoyed markets' faith in policymakers' ability to get on top of the euro zone crisis. All eyes are now on Spain, waiting to see if and when the country will ask for a bailout, a prerequisite for the ECB's bond market intervention.
Several details of the new plan are still unclear, including for how long the programme will be in place, how much the ECB will have to spend and whether it will stop its purchases if a country falls behind on its reform commitments.
Noyer, governor of the Bank of France, told German daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in an interview to be published in Thursday's print edition that the ECB's new programme could show quick results.
"This is a weapon to deter. It might be tested and we will not hesitate to deploy it to demonstrate our determination," Noyer was quoted as saying. "Markets understand very quickly that they can't win against the ECB.
"I hope that the programme will have an impact very quickly. I would be surprised if such a programme was still in place in several years' time, even if it was not used," Noyer said.
Cyprus central bank chief Panicos Demetriades made similar comments last week, saying the mere threat of unlimited bond buying could scare off speculators and in the end the ECB may not even have to act.
Noyer said the ECB would halt its bond purchases right away if the International Monetary Fund and euro zone governments came to the conclusion that a country was not fulfilling the conditions for the central bank's bond market intervention.
"We will not hesitate to stop the purchases immediately, if the ESM programme is not being followed strictly," Noyer said.

It depends on how you look at energy. A medium apple contains about 100 calories and approximately 20 grams of sugar. The calorie elements in one apple includes protein, fats and carbohydrates like sugar and starch. Your body will process these nutrient molecules into adenosine triphosphate or ATP. ATP is literally fuel for your cells and they use it for everything they do that requires energy.
Coffee on the other hand stimulates your fight or flight system causing your heart to beat faster and blood to flow to your peripheral muscles. Your nervous system is stimulated but since coffee contains little calories, your body is not creating fuel for your cells. So while "stimulating" coffee won't give you sustained energy like an apple will.
Apples are also great sources for soluble fiber, vitamin C and antioxidants called polyphenols. They are rich in fructose, which is the predominant sugar found in fruits. Fructose takes more time to be metabolized into glucose, so it's a good energy source that doesn't spike blood sugar levels too dramatically. Eating an apple will give you a steady supply of glucose to your brain and muscles for at least an hour to sustain you during your busy schedule!
