Secretary John Laird, ocean 'protector'
There is no doubt that the oceans are in deep trouble with folks like Secretary John Laird and Senator Fran Pavley in charge of "ocean protection" in California. Laird is one of the worst Natural Resources Secretaries for fish, oceans and the environment in California history.
Secretary John Laird, ocean 'protector'
by Dan Bacher
John Laird, Secretary for Natural Resources and Chair of the California Ocean Protection Council, on April 14 sent a memo to the "California Ocean and Coastal Community" discussing recent letters on the federal FY15 budget that he sent to three Congressional appropriation committees.
"Please find attached my letters to three Congressional appropriation subcommittees regarding funding for key ocean initiatives in the federal FY15 budget," Laird wrote. "Of particular note for the ocean and coastal community, my letter to the Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies includes support for coastal management grants, regional ocean partnerships, ocean observation systems, ocean acidification research, and marine debris, among several other items. Similar letters were sent to the respective appropriation subcommittees in the Senate."
"In addition, please also find attached a letter from members of the California legislature, including OPC members Senator Pavley and Speaker Atkins, stating their support for increased funding for ocean acidification research," concluded Laird.
Joey Racano of the Ocean Outfall Group wasn't impressed by Laird's memo and letters.
"WTF do we need more research for? Stop manufacturing oil fired cars.Go electric. There's nothing to research," quipped Racano.
Racano also questioned the presence of Senator Fran Pavley, the author of the green light to fracking bill, Senate Bill 4, on a committee designed to "protect the ocean."
"'Frackin Fran" is on the OPC?" he asked.
There is no doubt that the oceans are in deep trouble with folks like Secretary John Laird and Senator Fran Pavley in charge of "ocean protection" in California.
Laird is one of the worst Natural Resources Secretaries for fish, oceans and the environment in California history.
He presided over record exports of water to corporate agribusiness interests in 2011, resulting in the massacre of millions of Sacramento splittail in the Delta water export pumps. Nearly 9 million Sacramento splittail, a native fish species, were "salvaged" in the death pumps, a new record. The actual number of fish lost in the pumps is estimated by scientists to be 5 to 10 times the "salvage" numbers. (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/05/06/1089304/-Report-documents-record-Delta-water-exports-and-splittail-salvag)
Laird and federal officials also presided over the systematic draining of northern California reservoirs during a drought in 2013 to fill the Kern Water Bank and Southern California reservoirs, resulting in enormous damage to salmon and steelhead populations and endangered Delta and longfin smelt, as well as imperiling the water supplies of Sacramento, Folsom and other cities. (http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2014/02/07/18750438.php)
He has relentlessly pushed the most environmentally destructive project in California history, the Bay Delta Conservation Plan to build the peripheral tunnels. The project will hasten the extinction of Sacramento River Chinook salmon, Central Valley steelhead, Delta and longfin smelt and green sturgeon and other species, as well imperil Trinity and Klamath River salmon and steelhead. The project will devastate the Bay-Delta Estuary, the most significant estuary on the West Coast, resulting in tremendous damage to coastal halibut, striped bass, leopard shark, anchovy, sardine, herring, halibut, leopard, rockfish, lingcod and other fish populations.
Laird also oversaw the completion of a network of a network of so-called "marine protected areas" under the privately funded Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) Initiative. In an extreme case of greenwashing, these "marine protected areas" fail to protect the ocean from fracking, oil drilling, pollution, military testing, corporate aquaculture and other human impacts on the ocean other than fishing and gathering. (http://www.counterpunch.org/2014/04/14/how-big-oil-bought-sacramento/)
Senator Fran Pavley has also been a strong supporter of the privately-funded MLPA Initiative, as well as authoring the bill that clears the path to expanded fracking in California.
In one of the biggest environmental scandals in California history, Catherine Reheis-Boyd, President of the Western States Petroleum Association, chaired the Marine Life Protection Act Initiative Blue Ribbon Task Force to create so-called "marine protected areas" on the South Coast. Meanwhile, the oil industry was conducting highly polluting fracking operations in Southern California marine waters, as revealed by a Freedom of Information Act request and media investigation by the Associated Press and http://www.truthout.org last year. (http://bigstory.ap.org/article/epa-require-calif-offshore-fracking-reports)
Right after Governor Jerry Brown signed Senator Pavley's Senate Bill 4 on September 20, 2013, the same Reheis-Boyd praised the legislation for providing an "environmental platform" for the expansion of fracking in California (http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/09/23/18743678.php)
"With the signing of Senate Bill 4, California has the toughest regulations of hydraulic fracturing and other energy production technologies in the country," said Reheis-Boyd. "While SB 4's requirements went significantly farther than the petroleum industry felt was necessary, we now have an environmental platform on which California can look toward the opportunity to responsibly develop the enormous potential energy resource contained in the Monterey Shale formation." (https://www.wspa.org/blog/post/statement-wspa-president-catherine-reheis-boyd-signing-sb-4)
With environmental guardians like Laird and Pavley, California is in deep, deep trouble.

Bening's Nikki falls at the first sight for Harris' Tom, a stranger who is an exact duplicate of her late husband.
Annette Bening gets second chance at love as seen in the first trailer for drama romance "The Face of Love". She plays a woman named Nikki who falls in love again five years after losing the love of her life, while Ed Harris portrays her love interest.
The object of Nikki's affection is Tom, an art teacher with a kind heart and a great zest for life, and also a doppelganger for her deceased husband. Seduced by the chance to live as if her husband was never lost, Nikki spirals into a fantasy of the present as past.
Supported by Robin Williams and Amy Brenneman, the movie premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last year. It is expected to open in select theaters on March 7 before getting a VOD release on March 13.

Glorious Luxury: Queen Victoria Cruise Review by hehny
Overall Member Rating
Glorious Luxury
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Southampton
EMBARKATION: Grill members receive priority allowing for speedy access. Having cruised before (on the QM2), I was pretty confident on where to go but I could see getting a bit confused. Organized chaos. A steward directed us to the proper elevator banks and up we went!
THE ROOM: Cunard's website is pretty accurate in showing the different rooms. Grill rooms are beautifully appointed, with individual climate controls and balconies. Lots of storage. Very comfortable beds. Our mini bar was constantly re supplied and housekeeping did a marvelous job at keeping the stateroom clean whilst being unobtrusive. My two quibbles: the t.v. was pretty awful and internet access very expensive and sluggish.
THE FOOD: In the grills experience, you have your own table and can eat whenever you want within the hours in a special lounge accessible More by key card. The food was scrumptious and our wait staff went out of our way to provide our favorites, even those that were off menu (lobster thermidor, crepes suzette). The sommelier was knowledgeable and introduced us to some reasonably priced wines. Dining in the grills was an absolute pleasure...we really had no desire to go anywhere else. The Lido buffet seemed very well stocked and clean. The commodore club served lovely drinks (and the view is to dye for) and we loved having a coffee at the Cafe. The bar did two excellent tastings: Veuve cliquot champagne and wine, which we attended. The golden lion pub was a bit of a let down: the food was bland and there wasn't a great cider selection. Room service seemed a bit chaotic in port call days but any issue was handled swiftly.
SERVICE: A key aspect to the grills experience is the concierge, located in the grills lounge on deck 11. We had personalized stationary made, free of charge, which was a lot of fun. Our steward made sure we had our days menus early in the morning and the next day's schedule by early evening. Our grill staff was extraordinary in the dining room.
ENTERTAINMENT: The shows were mostly variety version. Generally, cruise entertainment is pretty amateurish and this was no exception. I wish there had been more stage type shows but there was so much else to do, the entertainment seemed unimportant.
GUEST ACTIVITIES: Very reflective of the population (see below) i.e. geared towards the elderly. Very repetitive- every day was the same computer lesson. Luckily, the best time was to take out a book and find a lovely spot to relax.
SHOPPING: Lovely shops in the royal arcade and excellent, very helpful staff. We did have a problem with a ring awe bought on board and it was handled immediately and at no extra cost.
COMMON SPACES: The library is quite extraordinary as is the queen's room. We also enjoyed the casino.
PORT CALLS: Tours were very smooth, we did not wait long to embark/disembark at all. In Rome, we arrived next to a huge ship and they seemed incredibly disorganized on dock. Each port came with a lovely introductory guide and a television lecture.
POPULATION: An earlier review referred to voyage of the 'geriatric' and made me laugh. I would say 90% of the ship is elderly (walkers, wheelchairs, the works). This can make for a rather unpleasant experience in terms of waiting, passenger politeness...hence the reason for the importance of the grills where service is smooth and passenger interaction minimal. However, the various activities reflected the population.
ODDITY: Everywhere we went, a crew member held out a bottle of hand sanitizer. There were signs all over the ship and any wait times came about because you had to wait to sanitize your hands. This was another reason we were reluctant to eat anywhere else.
DISEMBARKATION: A bit more chaotic than embarkation, due to the fact that they seemed let everyone off at once rather than honoring their original by category plan. SUMMARY: Highly recommended, though families with young children would likely pass. Imperative to splurge..it appeared regular (Britannia) passengers had quite a different experience from those in the grills, most of whom were repeat customers. Less

While the boys were in the pool today, I decided to throw together a quinoa salad. It is hot here today, (103 on its way to 110…yikes…It may be a dry heat but it is still hotter than h*ll) and the idea of something cool sounded good. I usually don't hesitate to jump in the car and go to the store, but the heat is really bugging me today, so I decided to use ingredients I had on hand.
The results were surprisingly good. I think this is going to go in my regular rotation of summer recipes. Even my husband (who hates it when I make dishes that are vegetarian) liked it. I actually used balsamic vinegar because that is what I had on hand, but I think that red wine vinegar probably would have allowed the flavors to come out a little more.
Southwestern Quinoa Salad
- 3 cups of water
- Vegetable Bullion Cube
- 1 ½ cups of quinoa rinsed
- ½ tsp sea salt
- Juice from 3 Limes
- 2 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp chili powder
- 1/8 tsp ground chipotle chili powder or cayenne
- 2 T red wine vinegar
- 2 T olive oil
- 4 cloves of minced garlic
- 1 can black beans drained
- ½ cup fresh or frozen corn
- ½ red onion diced
- ½ cup roasted red pepper diced
- 1 T minced jalapenos
- ¼ cup cilantro
- ½ cup queso fresco optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
- In a large pot combine water and chicken bouillon and bring to a boil. Add quinoa and salt and boil for 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and rinse quinoa and place in a fine metal sieve or fine colander. Bring a fresh pot of water to boil. Place quinoa in the sieve over it. Cover with a kitchen towel and lid. Steam for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Meanwhile make the dressing by combining lime juice, cumin, chili powder, chipolte chili powder, vinegar, olive oil and garlic. (You can do this in a small bowl or in a blender)
- In a separate bowl, combine black beans, corn, onion, red pepper, jalapenos and cilantro.
- After quinoa cools, combine with black bean mixture. Stir in cheese if, desired.
- Toss with dressing and serve at room temperature or chilled.

Kaissara truly should not be missed! This is a gem of a hostel in beautiful Trindade. It feels more like a home with friends than a hostel, and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay... George, Lola and Mauricio are great, friendly and inviting people. They are always willing to show you a nice time and take you for an adventure. The breakfast is awesome! The location and ambiance cannot be beat. Good people, great vibes, amazing spot!

Hold up in amalgamation decision delays solutions
Hold up in amalgamation decision holds up solutions for Wellington
Wellington Employers' Chamber of Commerce is disappointed that a decision on local body amalgamation for the region has been delayed.
Chief Executive Raewyn Bleakley said the two-month delay, till June, was not the first delay in the Local Government Commission process.
"It's disappointing because we need to get on with this.
"It's crucial for the region that we know what's going on so we can get on with taking the region forward.
"It's unclear why there has been another delay. If it's a matter of the commission's workload then perhaps its resources need to be looked at.
"I know there are other proposals on the table which have involved hearings in Northland and Hawke's Bay, so perhaps further resources need to be called in to support the commission.
"If this delay means we get a more robust report, then we are certainly in favour of that. However, we're only at the very start of a much longer process. Following this draft proposal, we then have public submissions, a final proposal, and a possible public referendum.
"The Wellington region is currently in a holding pattern – which is holding us back.
"Further delays just put the solutions further away.
"We need an assurance that this new timeframe will be met."

Learn how governments have deprived people of firearms throughout history. Licensing and registration have been key elements to disarming populations, leaving them vulnerable to methodical slaughter.
170,000,000. That's the number of civilians that have been murdered by their own governments in the 20th century alone. 170,000,000 men, women, and children who were defenseless to protect themselves. 170,000,000 victims of gun control. You have never seen anything like Innocents Betrayed. This story has never been told in a documentary film. In this powerful documentary produced by Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, you will learn how governments have historically deprived people of firearms ... and then wiped them from the face of the earth. 58 minutes that will open eyes. Destroy myths. Change minds. Save lives./n"Only the police and military should have guns; private citizens don't need them." Innocents Betrayed shows what happens when the government alone has all power. It's sensible to license guns and register their owners." Innocents Betrayed shows how licensing and registration were key elements to disarming populations, leaving them vulnerable to methodical slaughter. "America should follow the lead of the rest of the world— strict 'gun control.'" Innocents Betrayed shows how the "rest of the world" lost 170,000,000 innocent, non-combatant men, women and children. "It can't happen here." It already has. Innocents Betrayed documents mass murders and vicious brutality in the US as a result of gun control. The victims left disarmed and powerless, by law.

NRA: The Untold Story of Gun Confiscation After Katrina
Innocents Betrayed
Big problem with the film which is made by JEWS.
The JEWS murdered 62 MILLION Christians in Russia Bolshevik revolution.
Stalin was a "JEW PUPPET"
They do NOT tell you that.
The JEWS took all the GUNS away in Communist Russia.
The amount of JEWS murdered in World War 2 is NOT correct
The JEWS were behind most of the GENOCIDE in Africa through JEW RUSSIAN COMMUNISM.
The JEW Criminal Mafia is taking all the GUNS away in JEW HIJACKED USA.
Any one documentary cannot possibly cover all the atrocities that have been committed by man against man, all throughout history. The subject of this documentary is centered around how governments have historically deprived people of firearms ... and then wiped out population after population from the face of the earth. Quite naturally, it will not speak of Black slavery or Blood Diamonds or Massacre in Holdomor or genocide by the British in India or native Indian genocide in America or post WW2 decimation of Germans or Palestinian genocide or even the Christian genocide at the hands of Jews.
"Any one documentary cannot possibly cover all the atrocities that have been committed by man against man, all throughout history."
I agree with what you've said Ria, in response to Snowy Smith South Africa comment.
Its a situation of; "damned if you do, and damned if you don't" - there will always be something missing from the content, for someone else.
And as you have rightly indicated, and as portrayed in the documentary - "governments have historically deprived people of firearms ... and then wiped out population after population from the face of the earth."
Convince an enemy, convince him that he's wrong
Is to win a bloodless battle where victory is long
A simple act of faith
In reason over might
To blow up his children will only prove him right
Know you human rights
Be what you come here for
History Will Teach Us Nothing - STING.
Absolutely, Christopher!
Dear Snowy, please allow me to set the record straight regarding your blaming of Jews for so much of the trouble in the world. My Authority, and evidence, is The LORD Jesus Christ Himself. If you are not a Believer, I'm afraid even Jesus will not be evidence enough for you. I am not trying to offend you, I just want to be accurate. I hope you are a Believer. There are eternal consequences determined by whether or not you are Christian. If you are not, a goodly portion of the blame for that is a government that has made illegal your opportunity to learn about Christ in the public schools and other public venues. I want to assert "There Are No Jews In Any of The Godless Secret Societies! There are no Jews in the satanic New World Order" Here is my evidence: In the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, God has declared: "I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of satan." Holy Bible, New testament, Book of the Revelation, chapter 2, verse 9 (KJV). While many in the New World Order certainly have Hebrew/Israelite/Jewish blood coursing through their veins, including the Rothschilds (the apparent "head" of satan's New World Order), god has made it abundantly clear they are not Jews, they are satan worshipers. While it must give satan a great deal of pleasure to corrupt those of God's chosen people, once they choose satan as their god, THEY ARE NO LONGER JEWS! If you want to argue that point, you must take your argument to God; I have given you His Final Word on the subject. Did you know that blasphemy consists of contradicting God in word, deed or thought?
62 MILLION Christian Russians MURDERED by JEWS in the Russian Bolshevik Revolution.
COMMUNISM forced on the Christian Russians by the JEW CRIMINAL MAFIA.
All part of JEW NEW WORLD ORDER.
The JEWS destroyed South Africa with their JEW NEW WORLD ORDER SCAM.
Every Country in the Middle East and Africa is being undermined today by the JEWS and their JEW paid Mercenaries.
The JEW CRIMINAL MAFIA has HIJACKED America.
The JEW USA Bolshevik Revolution coming to USA 2013.
The JEW USA Bolshevik Revolution coming to USA 2013.

HOUSTON - Houston police searched along a northeast Houston bayou Tuesday morning for three men believed to be connected to a burglary.
Officers first responded to that burglary at Citi Trends in the 8500 block of Mesa Drive at around 12:35 a.m. A witness reported the theft after spotting burglars backing a silver F-250 truck into the store.
Police said as many as six suspects may have been involved and once the thieves got inside the store, the group stole a safe.
J.C. Charles lives nearby and said he heard the commotion but at first, didn't think anything of it.
"I heard a loud crash. During that time, they usually dump the dumpster across the street, so I thought that's what it was," said Charles.
About 15 minutes later, Charles looked outside and saw police activity around the store.
About one hour after the break-in, officers noticed a silver F-250 with rear end damage driving near Airline Drive. When police signaled for the truck to pull over, the driver took off, leading officers on a chase.
The truck eventually jumped an embankment, landing near Halls Bayou, close to Homestead Road and Tidwell Road. The vehicle stopped close to the bayou, and that's when investigators said the three men jumped out and ran off.
Police saw two of the men jump into the bayou and swim away, but lost sight of the third person.
Officers set up a perimeter and called in K-9 units and helicopters to search the area, but couldn't find any of the suspects. The safe was not found.
"The safe was not in the back of the truck, so we don't know if they took the safe somewhere else and were going to do another smash and grab or exactly what was going on," said Lt. Larry Crowson, with the Houston Police Department.
Police said a similar break-in happened at a CitiTrends in the 17500 block of Imperial Valley Drive last Friday morning. In that case, thieves also used a vehicle to back into the store and then stole a safe. At this point, it is unknown if the crimes are connected.

Maria Shriver to Plant California Victory Garden
Taking a cue from Michelle Obama, Maria Shriver, first lady of California, is spearheading a victory garden for California. Edible garden beds will be planted in May in Capitol Park in Sacramento.
"I'm so excited to be joining California Food and Agriculture Secretary A.G. Kawamura, the California Department of General Services, the California School Garden Network, Alice Waters, and many others to bring an edible garden to the state capitol, Shriver said in a statement."This new garden will bring awareness to children, students, and visitors about the important role of food, where it comes from, nutritional value, how it is grown and harvested, and ultimately how it reaches the tables of those who need it most."
The Capitol Park plot, where the garden will be planted, was originally a flower bed, and will be easily converted into the edible garden. The design will focus on water conservation. It is likely that the food from the garden will go to an area food bank, similar to the use of produce from San Francisco's edible garden. Baltimore's City Hall is also planting a victory garden this Spring. Are any city or state buildings near your home planning a victory garden?

I have used this company many times over the last two years to deliver flowers to my girlfriend in Moscow. Each time the company provides exceptional customer service, delivers on time and is always very quick to respond to any email questions. They may be a little expensive, but I'm happy to pay a bit more for excellent customer service and peace of mind knowing that nice flowers will be delivered to my love. I can definitely recommend them to others.
Plenty of choice on the website. Once ordered, they contacted me regularly to ensure things went smoothly. The flowers arrived on time and looking exactly as seen on the website. Will definitely use Russian Flora again.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Call it 'snow-tober.' Ghoulish weather has invaded the country with freezing cold and some of the earliest first snowfalls on record and it's not even Halloween! If you think that this cold freaky weather is confined to the northern United States, you're in for quite the surprise.
We'll call it the trick and treat. All of our area is about to be cursed or blessed with significantly cooler weather than has been observed over the last several weeks. In fact, our overnight low temperatures may exceed our coolest temperature so far this season (58°F) by thirteen to fifteen degrees. That means all of us are going to be in the mid and upper 40s by this weekend with highs barely getting out of the 60s.
If you love the cold weather, you're welcome. If you hate the cold weather, count your blessings. Many areas in the Midwest and southeast U.S. have just experienced their first freeze with more on the way.
Davenport, Iowa on Tuesday picked up 2.5 inches of snow! According to the National Weather Service in the Quad Cities, this is the fourth earliest snowfall on record for Dubuque. Even some of the big cities including Chicago picked up their first snowfall of the season. O'Hare International picked up a record trace of snowfall for the day.
Normally snow in Chicago isn't breaking news. I get that. But the fact that it happened on October 22nd is a huge deal. Chicago isn't alone. According to meteorologist Joe Bastardi, some areas in Ohio have beaten their first snowfall averages by a month!
Lake effect snow warnings are in effect for parts of upstate New York as well where upwards of a foot of snow is expected across the Adirondacks.
Frost and freeze advisories are up for a huge amount of real estate stretching from the Great Lakes to central Georgia.
Here in Florida, even we will be on the receiving end of the cold. Not only will we have beautiful skies but we'll have many areas dipping well into the 40s the next few nights with high temperatures barely cracking 70 the next few days.
It is so chilly across the country that even the pumpkins are left chattering their tooth. It'll be interesting to see how this pattern plays out heading into winter.

Microsoft is pushing the improved security of its Windows Server 2008 software package as one of the primary reasons why business customers should upgrade to the long-awaited product refresh as quickly as possible.
[ Get the scoop on the entire Windows Server family in our special report ]
In addition to being fully designed under Microsoft's SDLC (security development lifecycle) initiative -- a program already credited with allowing Microsoft to ship its products with far fewer vulnerabilities than previous iterations -- Server 2008 has new features that should help customers address a range of important security issues, according to company officials.
Microsoft representatives claim that beefed-up firewall technology, support for the emerging IPv6 Internet protocol, improved onboard encryption and further integration with its Active Directory registry system, among other additions, represent a significant step forward for the release formerly-known as Longhorn in terms of its overall security standing.
The company has also finally delivered its NAP (network access protection) technology -- Microsoft's flavor of the access control tools identified more widely under the banner of NAC (network access control) -- that many security industry watchers have cited as a potential accelerant for device and user network authentication efforts.
Company officials said that the software maker was specifically set on defending the updated infrastructure technology against malware attacks while boosting ID and access control, adding encryption and document protection features, and enhancing the system's reporting and audit functions to handle compliance-related tasks.
As it has claimed Vista to be the safest OS that it has ever shipped, based on the continued adoption of SDLC and added security functionality, Windows Server 2008 follows suit, said Brendon Lynch, director of privacy strategy at Microsoft.
"With the way that information has become the new currency for crime, it is critical for customers to better protect and govern data; part of this process is about people and process, but technology has to serve a role in supporting all this, and we believe that the enhancements made in Server 2008 do just that," Lynch said.
Along with further hardening the software to prevent attacks that attempt to misuse its services and preventing unnecessary interaction with its kernel to thwart root kits, the new filtering, encryption, and Active Directory features should go a long way toward helping customers reduce their attack surface, company officials said.
With NAP, Windows Server 2008 users gain not only a new method for enforcing endpoint device authentication and anti-virus capabilities, but also the ability to integrate their infrastructure more tightly with third-party NAC products, such as those made by networking vendors like Cisco Systems and security players like Symantec.
While Microsoft has often been criticized for failing to align itself closely with IT industry standards, its work to drive interoperability with the Trusted Computing Group's NAC efforts should prove beneficial to users of existing access control and anti-virus technologies, officials said.
"The great advantage with NAP is interoperability, not only with networking gear, but all the external AV vendors," said Amith Krishnan, senior product manager at Microsoft. "We think that along with existing Microsoft security technologies in Vista and [SharePoint Server] this represents our ability to offer customers end-to-end protection for the first time."
Windows Server 2008 may help speed adoption of NAC
While pointing out that it will likely take time for NAP to become widely adopted by end-users and that the access control technology has yet to prove itself as enterprise-grade, representatives at security market leader Symantec observed that the tool's arrival should prove beneficial for customers, at least in terms of fostering NAC integration.
"I don't think that its the technology that is so interesting, but rather the fact that this is a well thought-out, fairly open architecture that can bring more legitimacy to NAC as a technology," said Rich Langston, senior manager of product management at Symantec. "Its arrival should bring additional comfort to existing adopters of the technology. When we talk to customers about the capabilities of NAC, they tend to have a lot of concerns [about interoperability]. Having NAP built into Vista and Longhorn should solve a lot of objections."
As a result, many customers that have been holding off on using NAC -- thought to be a valuable method for keeping infected devices off of corporate networks -- may decide to adopt the technology now that it is fully supported in Microsoft's newest products, he said.
At least one customer working with a beta version of Windows Server 2008 said that the product does indeed represent a substantial improvement over previous versions in terms of fostering more comprehensive security.
Matt Okuma, enterprise architect at Pacific Coast Companies, a building materials manufacturing specialist with close to 4,000 employees, said that the integrated security features in Windows Server 2008 are appealing from the standpoint of both integration and security budget management.
"People have companies they feel safe with using, and we're comfortable using Microsoft because when you have a product so large and your IT support staff isn't that big, you need a common platform for security, and Microsoft has that now," Okuma said. "For us, just the work needed to integrate third-party security tools for some of these functions would likely lead to us being less secure overall."
From the improvements made to the underlying software code derived via SDLC to the addition of NAP, the customer said that he is encouraged by what Windows Server 2008 can bring to the table in terms of bolstering IT security. "You can only assume that there will be some pain points with getting everything that runs with Server '03 to run with Server '08, but it seems like [Microsoft] has done all the work," he said. "If we can do NAP without buying a third-party product for access control that will be great; I don't want to introduce another piece of software if we can use a common platform."
Industry analysts said that the security improvements resident in Longhorn may not have the same big-bang effect as those that first appeared in Windows Server 2003, including the impact of SDLC, which was used to drum vulnerabilities out if that product, but the experts said that the new release should been seen as an extension of the software maker's commitment to improving the stability of its products.
"They made a huge step forward with Windows Server '03, that was the first product from Microsoft since it started taking security seriously, and Server 2008 is an evolutionary continuation from there, versus anything dramatic," said John Pescatore, analyst with Gartner. "A lot of the improvements here are continuations of the big leap made in Server 2003."
However, the expert said that the arrival of NAP could lead to noticeable growth in the adoption of NAC as companies that have been holding off on embracing the access control tools may finally get off the fence.
"First we have to wait for people to roll out Active Directory on Server 2008, and that will take time, but by 2009 I expect to see enterprises who have been saying they want to do NAC, but were waiting for NAP, to move forward," he said. "This will also force standalone NAC vendors to prove that they offer real value beyond what is being baked into the Windows product line."

Ahmed Bedair showed everyone that you can cry and still be a "man" this week!
The Egyptian comedian actor's emotions erupted in a TV interview, that quickly went viral, after Ahmed began to cry on National TV.
Bedair was in the middle of profusely thanking Saudi King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz for his efforts in helping Egypt through its political crisis since January 30 three years ago, when he couldn't help himself - clearly taken by the King's kindness - and started to cry halfway through the interview!
In the video [2], Ahmed says: "Just like Saudi King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz loves Egypt and has sent President Sisi a message of love and appreciation and stood by us through the January 30 events, we thank him and thank the Saudi people and the entire Arab nation who has stood by Egypt."
Wipe those tears away funnyman, we're all behind you!

Enflasyona Katki Hesaplamalari
[TR] Enflasyon gelismelerini dogru degerlendirebilmek için, TUFE'de yer alan alt gruplarda fiyat degisimlerinin seyri ile alt gruplarin aylik veya yillik enflasyona yaptigi katkinin anlasilmasi oldukca onemlidir. Turkiye Istatistik Kurumu'nun 2012 yilindan itibaren madde fiyatlarina ek olarak agirliklari da kamuoyu ile paylasmasi enflasyona katki hesabinin saglikli bir sekilde yapilmasinin önemini artirmistir. Bir urun grubunun enflasyona yaptigi katkiyi hesaplamak için en basit yöntem urun fiyati ile agirliginin carpimidir. Ancak, bu yontem endeksin yapisi ve yayimlanan verilerin tanimi geregi her zaman dogru hesabi vermeyebilmektedir. Bu not, katki analizi hesaplama yontemlerini detaylica sunarak iktisadi birimlerin enflasyon gelismelerini daha saglikli analiz etmesine katkida bulunmayi amaclamaktadir. [EN] To properly evaluate inflation developments, understanding the course of price changes in subgroups and the contribution of these changes to monthly and annual headline inflation are of crucial importance. TURKSTAT's decision to release the weights of items in the CPI after 2012 increased the importance of contribution calculations. The simplest method to calculate the contribution of a product group on headline CPI is to multiply the related weight and inflation. However, in this case the structure of the index and the nature of the published data may lead to misleading results. On this note, a detailed description of the contribution calculation methods is presented.

CIHS receives $2K grant to focus on suicide prevention
Chris Benz was a happy, fun-loving 17-year-old with his entire life ahead of him. He had a lot of friends, enjoyed sports, had a loving family and his future was bright.
However, on Jan. 11, 2007, Benz, a senior at Robbinsdale Armstrong High School in Plymouth, took his own life. A week later his mother, Janet Benz, received his acceptance letter into college.
Now it's Benz's quest to make sure another family doesn't ever go through what she's been through.
On Friday, Dec. 7, Benz presented the Cambridge-Isanti High School a $2,000 check to be used for suicide prevention education due to the baseball team's participation in the annual Chris Benz Memorial Baseball Tournament that takes place in the New Hope/Plymouth area each summer.
In July 2007, Benz organized the first Chris Benz Memorial Baseball Tournament as a way to spread the word about suicide prevention in a way that would reflect her son's personality. The Cambridge-Isanti baseball team has participated in the tournament each year since its inception.
"The tournament is way to get students together from our community and beyond to focus on suicide prevention for our youth and teens and promote healthy choices," Benz said. "During the tournament we bring in guest speakers or guest organizations that talk about suicide prevention, and I also share my personal story."
Benz, who is a public health nurse and assistant professor at St. Catherine University in the Department of Nursing, said this is the third grant she has presented a high school since the tournament began, and gave it to CIHS as a way to show her appreciation for the team's participation in the tournament.
For the first three years, the tournament raised money for SAVE, a national organization dedicated to suicide awareness. Over the years, word spread about the tournament and sponsorship grew.
Using the tournament as a starting point, organizers created the Chris Benz Memorial Foundation. Starting in 2010, money raised during the tournament went toward local schools to fund suicide prevention programs. Cooper High School received the first check in 2010, with Osseo High School receiving the check the next year.
"My son was a baseball player and loved baseball," Benz said regarding her decision to do a baseball tournament. "As a parent, you don't want any other family to experience what we've been through. Suicide is a local issue, a national issue and a global issue. Suicide rates across the globe have risen in the last 10 years."
CIHS can use the funds however they wish as long it focuses on suicide prevention. Benz said some schools use the funds to bring in a guest speaker or some use it to print educational materials.
Benz explained that, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide is the third leading cause of death for people ages 15 to 35 the United States. However, in Minnesota, it's the second leading cause of death, with motor vehicle accidents being the leading cause of death.
"I see suicide as a public health issue," Benz said. "I started the baseball tournament because I wanted to take action with a focus on teenagers. As an educator, I want to help people to look at the empirical data relating to suicide."
Benz said her son was the average American teenager.
"Chris was your typical teenager," Benz said. "He was involved in a lot of activities, had a lot of friends and would get together with his friends and talk about girls and sports. My message to teenagers is to be there for your friends. The research shows that youth won't tell an adult if they're going through some hard times, so our kids really need to be there for one another and learn about suicide warning signs."
Benz said when she presents on suicide prevention she asks the students to remember "ACT," which stands for: Ask their friends how they're doing – Show Care and Compassion – Tell someone.
"Youth are our future and this baseball tournament promotes healthy communities," Benz said. "It also allows families to network with other families that have experienced suicide. This tournament is really about bringing people together."

Mike Goss Tennis Stadium
Home of K-State Tennis
The New Outdoor Home of K-State Tennis.
Kansas State dedicated the new Mike Goss Tennis Stadium on September 7, 2013, as the ribbon-cutting ceremony put an end to a five-year venture for K-State women's tennis to the Wamego Recreation Complex to play its outdoor home matches.
Mike Goss Tennis Stadium recognizes and honors Goss for his generous gifts and support of K-State Athletics and Kansas State University. Goss is a 1981 graduate of Kansas State, earning an Economics degree from the College of Arts and Sciences and was a member of the varsity men's tennis team from 1978-81.
Goss is a Managing Director for Bain Capital LLC in New York, New York. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Tennis Channel, a 24-hour cable network dedicated to tennis, and is also on the Executive Committee for the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island.
In addition to K-State Athletics, Mike and his wife, Becky, support many other areas of Kansas State University, including scholarships and study abroad opportunities. Mike also serves as a Trustee of the KSU Foundation and is currently a member of the Board of Directors.
Located at the new outdoor facility for the Chester E. Peters K-State Rec Center, Mike Goss Tennis Stadium is part of a $3 million renovation of the outdoor facilities through the collaborative agreement between Kansas State Athletics, the K-State SGA and the K-State Student Rec Center.
The stadium features six outdoor courts, with purple playing surfaces and Powercats dividing the courts. The courts also feature a Musco lighting system, steel benches with K-State welded into the back rests and metal bleachers on the south side of the court with room to accommodate 400 fans.
In addition to the six new tennis courts, the renovated complex features three outdoor basketball courts and two sand volleyball courts. Future phases of the project will include a locker room space for the K-State tennis team, a scoreboard for K-State tennis matches, public restroom, an outdoor equipment rental area and two handball/racquetball courts.
"This year is a revolution for the K-State tennis program," said All-American K-State Tennis senior Petra Niedermayerova. "Manhattan will find out what tennis is all about and I as a tennis player, along with my teammates will be able to enjoy playing in a home facility fighting for K-State in a facility on campus, in a way that we want college athletics to look like. I would like to thank all of the people who took part in this project and a special thanks to Mike Goss, who helped make this dream come true."

from Dinwiddie County, VA
We replaced over a 1000 square feet of laminate flooring with this and I couldn't be more thrilled! Perfect for a beachy, farmhouse or rustic styled décor, this handscraped bamboo looks like an old floor that has been refinished but retained bits of paint. The planks are twice as hard as oak - our installers were burning up saw blades cutting it, in spite of that, they told me that it was hands down the most gorgeous floor they had ever laid. The photos on the website truly don't do this flooring justice, you have to see it in person, so visit a showroom and see for yourself!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Books Completed Last Week:
I really enjoyed this book.
Review is in the book's title.
It took until page 200 to get interesting, but not bad.
Not like her other books, but to me her main focus was making bullying awareness more out in the open which it should be.
Review won't be on my blog until June 16, but you can see my review on Goodreads.
I normally read in order of publication or tour date.
And....these are not for reading in the upcoming week. They are books into and including all of 2014.
The "list" is a means of keeping me organized. A visual display helps a lot for organization along with my Excel lists. :)

"Always on DRM" is a phrase PC gamers have learned to fear after the plethora of Ubisoft games that have included the anti-piracy measure. As it turns out, one of the PC's most iconic franchises – S.T.A.L.K.E.R – may require always on DRM in its sequel, S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2.
Sergey Grigorovich, president of GSC Gameworld, the developer of S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2, said in a recent interview that the decision to use always on DRM is, like always, a method to combat piracy. Piracy is very common on the PC, whether or not it is actually as bad as developers claim still remains to be seen, but it is still a well known issue.
If DRM is to be implemented in S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2, it will essentially force players to always be connected to the internet, as the game will download portions of the title in small sections. If players do not have access to the internet, they will not be able to proceed.
"Protection from piracy? Part of the content will be located on the server and downloaded as the game progresses. Permanent internet access is required. Text information, code and quests will be loaded through that connection. Software piracy is an issue for us, we try to fight it, but within reason."
"If people can not afford a licensed version, it is to our advantage if they download a pirated copy, and then want to buy a license. In Ukraine, there are different products that people love so much that they buy a license in principle. We want to create just such a product."
After some fan backlash from the previous quote, Grigorovich later clarified that they have not yet made the final decision to implement DRM, but it is still in the cards.
"The idea of implementing DRM came in as a possible anti-piracy solution. You know the severe level of commercial piracy we have here in ex-USSR region. This said however, there is no firm decision to go for DRM with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 as of now. Be assured, we do realize how uncomfortable this solution is for the players, so we'll continue looking for most effective, yet acceptable for all, way of protecting the game by the time of its release."
While some may question the actual issue associated with always on DRM (if one has a computer, chances are they are on the internet anyway) there are still numerous situations where one may find themselves without an internet connection, or worse, DRM servers not working correctly. Those who travel and use their laptops may find getting a stable internet connection difficult, and those who have unstable internet connection may find that the frequent disconnects will make for playing the single player portion quite a frustrating experience.
As many anti-DRM consumers have pointed out, DRM is often not a necessity. The Witcher 2 was still able to be a financial success without the inclusion of always on DRM. As well, while publishers may have noble intentions, the only thing DRM does is punish the legitimate consumer. Even with DRM, PC games can still be cracked, and usually are within a matter of days, which means that all pirates have to do is wait, and end up getting the more user-friendly gaming experience because of it. For the paying consumer, they are instead punished and forced to maintain an online connection to play a game that pirates will still be able to download in a matter of days, if not hours.
Publishers need to understand that DRM is ineffective. At the end of the day if a pirate wants a game he/she will pirate it no matter what anti-piracy measures they try to implement. All DRM ends up doing is hurting consumers and potentially costing the publisher legitimate sales. A publisher like Ubisoft may be able to take that risk, as they have a higher profile brand name and console sales to make up for any lost PC sales, but for a niche developer like GSC Gameworld, hoping to ride off of the success of a niche PC title, they may find that this move may cost them more financially than pirates would have. Luckily for gamers, GSC Gameworld is looking for alternate solutions to DRM, and will hopefully be able to come up with something before release.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 does not have a release date, though it will land on the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

In this video ("An Innocent Abroad"), the New York Times' Nicholas ("the great White Savior") Kristof continues his "Win A Trip" series, in which he brings an American student to Africa to see what the world out there is "really like." The lessons learned on this trip? Africa's roads are bad! Very bad!
Interesting how throughout these 7+ minutes we don't get to hear from any actual Africans. Even when Mitch talks with a group of young men who speak English, we never hear their voices – they don't make the cut. Yet the random German (read: white) tourists do.
And hey Mitch – when you visit a country (and go on video to talk about it), you should probably be able pronounce its name correctly. Just sayin'.

Welcome to the GREAT Steve Buscemi Game & Discussion!
For over 25 years the talented Steve Buscemi has been entertaining the mass population with one wonderful character after another wonderful character after another wonderful character after... well, you get the point. Now is the time to rank our favorite top 10 Steve Buscemi performances (this does not necessarily mean film).
HOW THE GAME WORKS: Each player is allowed three (3) upvotes per day. Once a title reaches fifty (50) points, that movie will retire to the Steve Buscemi: Hall Of Fame. The game will be called once we have 10 titles over 50 points.
ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS: In order to keep the list a *manageable* size, some films have been excluded. Additional films will be added upon request from the players. Discussion is highly encouraged but you must play the game. New players are welcome. If you are not a Steve Buscemi fan, do not feel obligated to play... however you are invited to my house... I would like to show you my new wood-chipper... it's industrial sized. Special thanks to all the members of the lovely Coen commune!
THE STEVE BUSCEMI HALL OF FAME (so far):
1. Mr. Pink - Reservoir Dogs (1992)

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
There has been a lot of talk of late on how to reduce automobile emissions on bad-air days along the Wasatch Front. Since most people don't want to carpool or give up their cars and ride mass transit, I propose reducing the freeway speed limit to 55 mph from Ogden to Spanish Fork.
Many large metropolitan areas have already done this, including Denver, Los Angeles and Phoenix. This would not only reduce emissions but gasoline consumption.
Anyone caught speeding on yellow or red burn days would get an enhanced fine for excessive pollution. The only problem I can see is that people would have to leave for their destination about five minutes earlier. Oh, no!

The curious case of the waking in the nighttime: SOLVED
But I digress. How did I get from multiple wakings per night for nearly a month to a baby in bed around 7:30 bleating nary a peep until 6:30am for three nights and counting? You guys. Katery in particular, who suggested nighttime diapers. Though delivered diapers are advantageous in their cheaper prices and convenient arrival one misses out on seeing other options lining the shelves and I never realized that overnight diapers actually existed [since diapers are generally worn at all times including overnight]. As soon as she mentioned it I grabbed my keys popped him in his car seat and headed to Publix, prices be damned- if extra padded diapers meant extra sleep then that is what I was going to do now and not a minute later!
And it worked. Three nights and counting, he sleeps through the night with nary a leak or a peep. Wet diapers. That was the issue. Poor kid. If you told me pre-kid I'd celebrate waking with the roosters I'd likely have stared at you like you had peach seeds glued to your head for purely aesthetic reasons [though I have a hard time figuring out any legitimate reason for glued peach seeds even aesthetic ones- though who am I to judge]. But now? Give me 6+ consecutive hours of sleep and I'm about as thrilled as it gets. I could in actuality get much more sleep, twelve hours of straight sleep if I desired, I just have a hard time sleeping on time because the night time hours are my time to read, watch TV, or work on my writing. As much as I know I should sleep earlier to take advantage of the possibility of a true full night's rest- I am reluctant to part with my 'me' time. Still, he is sleeping, and I have the option for hitting the hay at 10pm and getting eight hours if I desired- and that's pretty indescribably sweet.
I love blogging for many reasons but chief among them is the amazing support network that helps me see things in entirely new ways. Sadia's sage advice, to accept the sleep deprivation- embrace it- because its the reality of parenting youngsters really gave me an aha moment because while he slept these past three nights, teething, nightmares, growth spurts are all on the horizon ready to snatch away said sleep at a moment's notice- perhaps if we don't view ourselves as failures for sleep or the lack thereof, we can just fall into and enjoy this time better. Plus as Julia Monroe Martin pointed out, sleep never returns the way it once did even when they're grown its just in different car-driving hanging out at a party sort of way. The perspective helps. I knew I was handing over a large chunk of my life to my child when I had him, and it appears I'll also be handing over a large chunk of my sleep- but I'm beginning to stop fighting it and appreciate the moments that I do sleep and accept the moments that I don't.
But. In case you are not yet reaching zen-like acceptance about your own kid's all-night partying, check out this completely awesome audio-book narrated by Samuel L. Jackson called 'Go the F* to Sleep" [I am in awe of Mr. Jackson's ability to transform profanity into pure poetry in Pulp Fiction- and love his twist on the universal sleep situation here]:

Glad to hear that sleep is being had! My little one still wakes up every three hours. I just sort of write it off as part of mommyhood. It does pass quickly and with number two, you sort of cherish the quite alone time in the rocking chair in the middle of the night. Salaam!

ST. PETERSBURG — When the 11-year-old disabled boy came to school with a severe burn on his arm, an administrator called home.
When asked about the 3-inch long burn, the mother said she didn't have a clue.
Not only did she know, police said, the mother of five was the reason her son was so badly burned.
Latasha Yvette Hatcher, 27, was arrested Thursday evening at her St. Petersburg home, 2046 15th Avenue S. She has been charged with two counts of child abuse and child neglect.
Her five children — a 4-month-old infant, 5-year-old girl, 6-year-old boy, 7-year-old boy and the 11-year-old — were removed from the home by the Department of Children and Families.
Child protection investigators visited the home Thursday afternoon after school officials reported being suspicious of the 11-year-old's burn wound.
It is believed the burn marks and blisters on the boy's arm are the result of his skin being seared with boiling liquid.
Hatcher told investigators the 11-year-old probably burned himself, said police spokesman Mike Puetz.
But an unidentified woman who lives in the house with Hatcher and the children told officials she heard the boy's screams coming from another room in the house sometime after midnight. Later, she said, Hatcher mentioned "striking the boy" for vomiting on her.
She said this wasn't the first time Hatcher hurt one of the children, according to Puetz.
The woman told officers she saw Hatcher whip the 5-year-old girl, who is also severely disabled and has trouble communicating.
The woman alleged Hatcher used a plastic coat hanger to brutally beat the girl several weeks ago, Puetz said.
Officers found scars on the girl's back consistent with a whipping.
Hatcher has been in legal trouble before for aggravated battery, according to jail records.
It was not immediately clear whether the children have contact with their fathers.
An investigation is ongoing.

Ski Service
We are fully equipped to perform extraordinary service on your winter sports equipment. We have extensive experience in Nordic Stone Grinding and Alpine base and edge preparations. Over the past 20 years we have developed a set of integrated automated and hand tuning processes to deliver consistently exceptional base preparations. Our tuning machinery is state of the art, but this equipment is really only a supplement to our old world hand craftsmanship.
Having the best equipment and knowing how to use it are often different things: One of our former employees was fond of the saying "Talk is cheap, but whiskey costs money." With this in mind, we interact with a group of regional test pilots who put our base preparations to use in the real world throughout the season. These folks range from racer types and coaches to instructors and recreational skiers. They keep us on the straight and true and aren't shy about letting us know what works and what doesn't.
Experience, state of the art tools, old world craftsmanship, testing and more testing. We combine these elements when we service your equipment. The bottom line is your gear will perform significantly better after we service it.

The husband of Assemblywoman Ellen Jaffee's chief of staff has been appointed to the state's chief ethics commission, a spokesman for Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver said.
Silver quietly appointed Paul Casteleiro to the Joint Commission on Public Ethics to replace Ellen Yaroshefsky, who quit in disgust in October.
Casteleiro is a criminal attorney, and his wife is Darcy Casteleiro, who is Jaffee's chief of staff, the Daily News first reported this morning.
Casteleiro told the Daily News that his wife plans to resign from Jaffee's office in the next several weeks.
"There's no conflict and even if there was one, they have rules on conflicts where you can recuse yourself," he told the paper.

Teens and the use of human growth hormone
In our society we are constantly bombarded with images displaying a narrow view of what it means to be attractive, handsome, or beautiful. Adolescents are just as susceptible to feeling like they need to look a certain way as adults are. Unfortunately, this push to have a certain physique can lead to some pretty dangerous behaviors. Teens may skip meals, take diet pills, exercise excessively, vomit after eating, or take laxatives in order to lose weight or prevent weight gain. Another dangerous trend is increasing: the use human growth hormone in an effort to build muscle. Read full post »
