Unfortunately, in computer security, login and passwords are the defacto first line of defense to keep out unauthorized users. But here's where life becomes a real bitch!
I have no less than 6 systems... and every damn week I'm introduced to another… and there seems to be this weird crap you have to do when it is time to change your passwords…
Yes, every system you log in to requires yet another login and password. Each password is supposed to be hardened as much as possible against password cracking software. This means that the stupid things not only can't have any meaning, they also have to contain special characters - to further throw a wrench into the path of a hacker... *sigh* And if you're really stringent you make sure that each password MUST be changed every 30-45 days PLUS you make sure that the user name is not shown by default in the login screen. Oh joy!
Sadly for the sake of security... we poor humans have great difficulty remembering abstract strings of any sort, make it more than 1 and you cause real problems for users. So the most likely thing to happen is for the employee to write everything down and leave it where it's handy. In the top desk drawer, under the keyboard, even out on top of the desk, or in a spreadsheet or word doc right on the desktop itself.
Now if you have an employee looking to cause trouble or steal some info to sell, he doesn't want to use his own login to do this - way too traceable... nope, just wander on by the desk of a coworker who isn't being careful and write all his passwords down, instant untraceable access.
You may be wondering... why can't I just log in to one computer and viola! I'm on the system? Well, there are several reasons.
First and foremost, if the company is big enough to have multiple computer systems to sign into, they've been around for a while. Few companies spring up overnight with that sort of computer array. And if you've been in business for a while, you have lots of "legacy systems". You will have computers that are brand new all the way back to computers that have been in use since nearly the beginning of the computer age. Each one runs it's own operating system, each system has different requirements for login and password, none of them are compatible... there's a surprise. So a password that works on a new system is totally unusable on an older system, but you want to use the strongest password possible, not default to the lowest denominator of the bunch.
Secondly, there is the notion of layered defense. Sure someone may get in to your desktop computer, but maybe that's as far as they get. It does make things more difficult if they have to login to each system. If you use a single sign on (or maybe I should say, if you can get a single sign on to work on your systems), all they have to do is break one door down and they're in - now they can romp madly through the system with no restrain (or at least, only your user restrains).
There is much controversy over the best way to authenticate users to the system... how does the computer know you are you? The movement is toward biometrics (fingerprint, palm scan, retinal scan, face print) however there is significant cost involved, especially in large companies including the cost of equipping each computer with a reading device and the not insignificant price of startup (getting everyone's original scan) and what happens if you're using a fingerprint and you cut that finger?
Other methods are smartcards used with a login and password. But what happens if you lose the card? In a large company with thousands of employees... how many cards will they have to dole out daily? And once again the cost of equipment to scan the cards and set them all up.
Then you MUST consider your IT department. Most people working there are fine just doing their own jobs. You have a few really intelligent people (at least in most places) who love dabbling in new stuff, but most don't have the ability or desire to do any type of computer security work. IT often takes the hit when budgets get tight and security takes even more of a hit.
Then there's the latest rounds of legislation that have dumped lots of extra work on the IT department... Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and HIPAA(health information privacy). When you are under the gun to prove you have done something to keep the bad guys out... password security is the first thing jumped on with relish. It's easy to set up and it's, above all, CHEAP!!!
So it's time to take a deep breath and relax. The mess that's been created isn't going to go away anytime soon and will likely get worse before it gets better. I'm hoping some really intensely bright computer person is working on this problem and comes up with a solution that doesn't cost 99% of a company's revenue for the year AND actually works with all systems... yeah, dream on.

Why are women in IT an endangered species?
Now being a woman in an IT job, I was curious to know why I was an endangered species - therefore I clicked through. Here is what I have to say about the article.
Some of it is good - much is utter hogwash.
Naturally they have to start out with the heart wrenching personal story...
The computer science world was anything but welcoming to Maribel Gonzalez.
After a harrowing first year, she quit the computer science program at the University of California at Los Angeles. Until that point -- six years ago -- Gonzalez had excelled at mathematics and had looked forward to a computer-centric career. But at UCLA, she felt overwhelmed by the programming experience of her mostly male peers. With no programming classes under her belt, the "sink or swim"-style courses, she said, did not suit her.
There are 2 different dynamics here - so let's start with the hogwash part. First of all, you can not rate an entire field by the experiences of one person. WAAAAYYYY back in the mists of time, I knew any number of people who excelled at math and science in high school, only to flounder miserably in college.
The prominent reasons for that failure were either - the high schools they attended did not teach to a rigorous enough schedule, so the student is then unprepared for the level of difficulty in college courses. Then there is the fact that you generally finish all the material for a class in 16 weeks in college as opposed to an entire 180 day school year in HS - a pace that about triples the rate of new material presented in a very short time for the university student... in EVERY class. It's difficult to get your head around that if you liked the pace of high school. (personally I was always losing my focus in HS because it moved like molasses)
Another problem is kids just skating through HS courses with little or no work on their part. "This is easy" they think. Then they get to college and all the "easy" homework that was spread out over the year is now crunched into a few weeks time - they are overwhelmed! This has never happened before! Their brain can't deal with it! They say...
"I never worked so hard to get Cs," recalls Gonzalez, now a public-school teacher in New York. "It was a blow to my ego, and it scared me."
And they either go into teaching or English as a major. Basically what they are saying is that they don't think the end result is worth the amount of work they would need to put in. If they can't have fun then it's too much work. If they can't make straight A's without effort - it bruises their egos... sorry no sympathy here!
The second dynamic is the manner in which Computer Science is taught. I started back around 1990 - I was around 30 years old and had never touched a computer before in my life. I didn't own one, had never programmed one. At the time I figured a CS degree was a good way to earn some money, so there I was... a returning college student with a husband, 2 kids, and a dog - not very typical at the time.
Back then it was NOT assumed you knew anything about programming before entering the field. The very best class I EVER took was called Programming Logic. I'm quite sure it's never taught anymore - most people laughed at it. (sneered would be a better word) Yet, this class of drawing flow charts depicting the logic of a program from beginning to end - took all the guess work out of the logical progression in later programming classes. Every single solitary programming class I took - I could use that logic, learned in that little funky sneered about class... and all I had to learn in the programming class was the syntax. Syntax can be enough of a pain - but at least I knew what steps my program should take and the order they should be done - this left far more time for learning the other parts of programming.
The worst mistake made by Computer Science departments is for those doing the teaching to forget how they got to the point of knowing programming logic. They need to go back and revisit the very basics - in other words - when you teach math you don't start kids in Algebra - you start them with learning their numbers then adding... etc. CS departments need to give students a square ONE to start with and progress from there! This is what I find to be the current huge failing with CS degree programs. They lose not only women with this type of program, but men too (but hey we don't have to worry about losing men... right... only women count... riiight)
I will skip the completely ridiculous argument about the masculine/feminine appeal of CS - it's nonsense. Women have proven over the years that if they want to pursue a career they are quite capable - and now days there is nothing stopping them except their own dislike of the field.
But I find some of the lengths to which CS departments are trying to make things "easier" on the student - are very scary to me.
Another focus is reforming college computer science programs to make them less about weeding out weak students and more about encouraging all comers to succeed.
If you think programs are poorly written now... just wait until this group gets out there and starts trying to work for a living. It's just crap - either you can write programs or you can't. What they want to do is make students feel all warm and fuzzy - who cares if they can do the work... Well, we all will when onboard systems start failing in cars, airplanes, health equipment... just because we didn't want to scare off the nice little girls!
And THIS tactic makes me want to just scream....
Students can now send questions to the professor during class via wireless instant messaging rather than having to raise their hand -- a strategy designed to aid shy students. The instructor can either discuss the question with the whole class or answer it privately later.
Just how is this helping students? If they are too shy to speak up in class and can't conquer that - what are they going to do out in the work force? At some point in time they will HAVE to speak to coworkers and bosses in meetings. This will put them at a tremendous disadvantage once they leave school.
As usual - in trying to make things easier - they are actually entrenching more problems that will come back to haunt us at a later date.
I was encouraged to see this though from Carnegie Mellon:
While still requiring high test scores, especially in mathematics, the school no longer puts as much weight on prior programming experience. Freshman accelerated-programming classes generally level the playing field by the student's sophomore year, said Lenore Blum, a CMU computer science professor.
That's more like it. In every other discipline, if you want to go back to school and earn your degree, you can find classes that will take you from the beginning through degree completion. The fact that Computer Science doesn't offer this choice in many places, is the primary reason they don't have as many people opting for this degree as they could have. This includes men and women. In the end, it might come down to the fact that you have to spend an extra year in school to catch up before starting your degree work. This happens to engineering students all the time.
This is the direction I think Computer Science should take to get more of a choice of students in their discipline. That and quit whining about women finding the work too hard for their delicate little selves... it's demeaning to those of us who do work hard!

Indiana Pacers vs. Miami Heat - 5/28/14
Miami Heat (54-28) at Indiana Pacers (56-26)
NBA Basketball: Wednesday, May 28, 2014 at 8:30 pm (Bankers Life Fieldhouse)
The Line: Indiana Pacers +2 -- Over/Under: 184 See the Latest Odds
The Miami Heat look to close out the series in Game 4 on Wednesday night against the Indiana Pacers.
Head to head, the Heat are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings while the home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings and the favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. The Pacers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a SU loss of more than 10 points, but just 2-10 ATS in their last 12 home games vs. a team with a winning road record and 15-35-1 ATS in their last 51 games overall. The Heat on the other hand are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Conference Finals games, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a SU win of more than 10 points and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall.
We all know that the Miami Heat are going to advance to the NBA finals one way or another, but is that night tonight? Since their 107-96 loss in Game 1, the Heat have rattled off three straight victories and have looked like the far superior team, winning their two games in Miami both by double-digits. So can they close out of the series tonight or will Indiana live to see another day?
It does bode for Indi considering the home team has won nine of the last 10 meetings straight up and thay have also covered the spread in four of the last five meetings. And it's not like the Pacers couldn't have easily won another game in this series (which would of made it two games apiece) as they were right in Game 2 up until the final minute and they squandered a 15-point lead early in Game 3.
You can make a pretty compelling agrugment for both teams here, but I'm taking the Pacers and the points in this one. Given the fact that the home team nearly always wins when these two teams meet and considering that Indiana will be playing for their playoff lives, I think they have what it takes to take this one too a Game 6 in Miami.
I wouldn't wager any this game myself, because this is probably the toughest games to cap in this series so far..
Dan's Pick: Indiana +2

wikiHow to Draw Medusa
In Greek mythology, Medusa is one of the three Gorgon sisters (the other two being Stheno and Euryale). Legends say that she has snakes for hair! And if you look her directly in the eyes, you will be turned to stone. That's harsh! Luckily, a guy named Perseus beheaded her when he had the chance. Here's a quick step-by-step guide to show you how to draw the monster with snakes in her hair.
1Begin by sketching a skeletal guideline to base your drawing off of. In this case, Medusa will be drawn with the torso of a woman and the tail of a snake.
2Use shapes as guides for your drawing as shown.
3Sketch her upper body. Remember that you're drawing a woman, so pay attention to proportions!
4Draw small snakes instead of hair on her head.
5Add accessories. You can stick with just jewelry here, or you can add armor, a sword, or a bow and arrow.
6Add detail her lower half.
7Outline her with permanent media such as ink or paint. Don't forget to erase your pencil guidelines.
8Color Medusa and you're done!
Community Q&A
What color is Medusa?wikiHow ContributorMedusa is green, but some people prefer to draw her with a normal skin color that's just tinted green.

Founded in 1970 by Norbert Joris, Etap is a Belgian shipyard that has succeeded in finding their market with differently designed high quality sailboats. Their boats are distinguished by their unsinkable hull, created by adding a layer of foam between the hull and the counter mold. This sacrifices some volume but offers many advantages, mainly an excellent isolation and lack of condensation. The shipyard offers also some non-common appendages, such as the tandem keels. All this is presented with a finish that has for long time served as an example for other boats of the same size.
The shipyard was bought by Dehler Yachting in 2008, who bankrupted soon after. Etap shipyard was reborn in 2013, with one site in Belgium and another in India.

Now that you're grown up, sugary cereal is a no-no. Sugary face cleanser, on the other hand, gets a resounding yes. Infused with lemongrass and chamomile, this cleanser gets rid of dirt and oil while gently exfoliating layers of skin with nonabrasive sugar. (The alpha hydroxy acids in raw sugar gently buff away dead layers and excess oils without stripping your skin of its natural moisture.) You'll immediately notice how refreshed your skin feels, not to mention how good the clean, subtle scent of zesty lemon smells. Unlike Lucky Charms, this sweet stuff is good for you.
When I first decided to try it I thought it was just going to be another exfoliater. I was so surprised after I added water to it the texture I got. Then this wonderful smell hit me. When I applied it to my face I could not believe the way it worked and after I washed it off how my face felt. This product is worth the buy.5
I thought this would be like most exfoliating products. I was so surprised! I literally said out loud this is so nice! This smell is outrageous! It emulsifies and is not rough to your skin at all. This is a little out of my price range and yet I am thinking of buying this product. I have dry skin and it didn't dry my skin out at all.5
This product is not what it seems. Like other reviewers, I was originally confused with this product. It is a scrub/gritty texture when you attempt to put it on your face. I tried to rub it around and it was falling off and did not feel good. Once I added water, it began to foam and was surprisingly a nice texture. The directions on the card did mention to add water before using it, however I missed that part until after. I did not love the smell, but it was not a "bad" smell. Left my face feeling clean.3

Additional Assistant Referees
If you have aspirations to making it to the FIFA panel as a referee or assistant referee, or you have just been curious about the new Additional Assistant Referee (AAR) mechanics, please check out the video at this link:
Besides getting to hear Pierluigi Collina talk about refereeing, you can see how the AARs communicate with the referee. I was fascinated by the nature of the chatter on the radio. The video also notes that the AARs are actually staffed by members of the referee panel and the 4th official (previously always a referee) can be staffed by an assistant referee. This puts at least three referee-level officials on each match.

This shirt is way too short for the illusion to work. I am 5'8" and the Large was at least three inches too short. The model in the photo must be 5'2". I emailed the company about the lengths of the XL and XXL shirts, but heard nothing. Buy it only if you are short. It's a great pattern, if you are 5'2".

Internet Marketing Strategies – Focusing On Building Your Business On Strategies Vs. Tactics
Quote of the day –
Internet Marketing Strategies – Focusing On Building Your Business On Strategies Vs. Tactics
Today I want to talk about one of the most important internet marketing strategies that you absolutely MUST IMPLEMENT in your business if you wan't to have any chance at playing this business on a big, and longterm scale…
… That being, that you absolutely MUST build your business around longterm sustainable INTERNET MARKETING STRATEGIES vs. here today gone tomorrow TACTICS.
If you step back and look at every single individual who has ever gotten to 6, 7, or 8 figures in their business's, they always focus on building there business around LONGTERM SUSTAINABLE INTERNET MARKETING STRATEGIES, and then compliment those strategies with "here today, gone tomorrow tactics".
So whats the difference between the two, and what are some examples Misha?
Lets dig in. Long term sustainable internet marketing strategies are things that have been around and have worked for years, and will continue to be around and work for years to come.
Some examples of long-term sustainable internet marketing strategies would be:
- Building Your E-mail List
- Building A Relationship With That E-mail List
- Selling
- Focusing On Consistency In All Of The Above
As you can see, these are CORE STRATEGIES. Things that won't go away or get torn out from under you anytime soon. Every single successful Marketer builds their e-mail list, builds a relationship with their e-mail list, knows how to sell, and are consistent in implementing all of the core internet marketing strategies listed above.
Some examples of "here today, gone tomorrow tactics":
- Facebook Ads
- Youtube Marketing
- Instagram Marketing
- Any medium through which you don't have total control
Now to be clear, I'm NOT TELLING YOU to not use any, or even all of the mediums above. It can be an incredible advantage for you and your business to be able to identify what new medium is "hot", and to then leverage that medium to COMPLIMENT your core internet marketing strategies.
If you want to get involved with Facebook Ads, that's awesome, but do it for the sole purpose of BUILDING YOUR E-MAIL LIST. Don't post a bunch of Facebook ad's just to build up a Facebook fan page following, post a bunch of Facebook Ads that bring people to your capture page, and build your e-mail list for you.
The biggest thing to realize is that tactics come and go, but if you focus on leveraging those tactics to build upon longterm sustainable internet marketing strategies, you'll be fine when the "hot tactic" burns out and gets pulled out from underneath you.
There's a saying, "Marketers ruin everything"… and it's very true. We find a medium that we can leverage, and then we beat the living hell out of it until it doesn't work anymore, or we get banned from the medium. Google Adwords is a perfect example. There was a time where you could pretty much just wave a wand at Google, and it would spit out profits if you had even a half decent sales funnel built. Guess what happened? Every marketer in the world started using adwords, and beat em into the ground until Google banned EVERYONE.
And guess what… those Marketers who had been using Google Adwords to compliment there core strategies, to build their list, were fine. Those Marketers who had put all their eggs in one basket, and subdued to the temptation that Adwords brought to the table, thus forgetting to focus on expanding their core strategies through leveraging Adwords were screwed. They went out of business with the death of the "here today, gone tommorow" Google Adwords tactic.
So… remember, while it's totally fine, and can actually be an advantage to identify and tap into hot new tactics, be sure to always use your tactics to compliment and build upon your core internet marketing strategies that will set you up for longterm success.

Despite seaweed's humble appearance, it's actually a health and beauty powerhouse. Seaweed works wonders for dry skin thanks to its hydrating and anti-inflammatory properties. Combine a dash of seaweed with aloe vera gel, another calming ingredient, and you have a luxuriously creamy lotion that rivals any store-bought product. Even if you don't live by the ocean, you can find Irish moss, a type of seaweed, at many health-food stores.
Combine 1 tablespoon of flaked or powdered Irish moss with 1 cup of distilled water. Allow the mixture to soak for 20 minutes. This rehydrates and softens the moss.
Pour the seaweed and water into a pot, and then set it on the stove. Simmer the mixture on medium-high heat for 20 minutes. Reduce the heat if it starts to boil. When the mixture is ready, it will have a thick, jelly-like consistency.
Run the liquids through a strainer into a bowl. If the mixture is very thick, use a spatula to press the liquids through the strainer. Dispose of the solids left in the strainer.
Pour 1/4 cup of the seaweed mixture into a bowl. Combine the seaweed with 1/4 cup aloe vera gel. As you stir the ingredients, the mixture will lighten in color and turn into a thick paste. Let the mixture cool.
Add 2 tablespoons of almond oil to the mixture, then stir or whisk it in. The lotion will now be a light brown or cream color.
Add a drop or two of any essential oil, if desired, to make perfumed lotion. Stir well.
Pour the seaweed-aloe lotion into a jar with a lid. To use, massage the lotion into your skin and do not rinse it off.
Store the seaweed-aloe lotion in the refrigerator when you're not using it. The lotion should last for up to a week if kept cold. Discard the lotion if it develops a bad or rancid odor.

Northeast Conference 2011 Preview
Albany Great Danes
2010 Record: 6-5
The Danes were uneven at best in 2010, and are looking to make a surge this season by getting by their up and down nature. Andrew Smith is likely to get the nod at QB this fall, but he is not a passer. He did lead the team in rushing last fall with 724 yards and 7 scores, but with Buddy Leathley returning, Smith could wind up at RB. Ryan Kirchner caught 50 passes last fall, and will return as the top receiver, but the Danes would do well to increase upon their 137.6 yards passing per game.
Defensively, Albany was awful against the pass, giving up 216.1 yards per game through the air. LB Dave Plungas returns to take charge of the defense, but he needs some serious help around him, as Albany did not produce any other tacklers who ranked in the NEC top 25. Any pressure that they provided up front has gone out the door with the loss of DE Mike Kelly, so someone has to step up. Randall Exantus and Justin Hassan both return in the secondary, and were both very young last fall. With a season behind them, the pass defense can only get better.
Another year of mediocre play looks to plague Albany, but they are not the worst the league has to offer by a long shot.
2011 Schedule: 9/3 @ Colgate, 9/17 Maine, 9/24 @ Columbia, 10/1 @ St. Francis (PA), 10/8 Duquesne, 10/15 Robert Morris, 10/22 @ C. Connecticut State, 10/29 @ Wagner, 11/5 Bryant, 11/12 @ Monmouth, 11/19 Sacred Heart
Bryant Bulldogs
2010 Record: 7-4
The Bulldogs enter their first full season of membership in the conference after moving up from D2, but they are a team on the rise already. Mike Croce returns at QB after a decent showing last fall, as he passed for 1780 yards and 13 TDs to just 6 picks. The senior will likely try to make a push to break 2000 yards this season. Jordan Brown may be the best returning back in the league, as he rushed for 1410 yards and 15 TDs as a sophomore, including 138 yards against league champ Robert Morris. Depth behind Brown is thin. The Bulldogs return their two top receivers in WR Jordan Harris and TE Matt Tracy, but they lose the next best three receivers, so again, depth and experience are at issue.
The Bulldogs return 3 starters on the line in Josh Janes, M Nwanekezi, and Chris Sywetz, while Jordan Kelly returns after seeing solid time. Franck Tebou returns at LB, but the Bulldogs lose their top tackler from last fall in Jason Riffe. LB is thin. The Dogs do return their top 3 DBs from last fall in Samad Waqstaff, Stef Whiteside, and Max Machado. Ro Williamson, Ty Wilson, and Mike McGowan all saw time as well.
Bryant has enough depth on defense outside of LB, and has some fire coming back on offense. It would not surprise me to see Bryant make a serious play in the NEC race.
2011 Schedule: 9/3 @ Maine, 9/10 American International, 9/17 @ Sacred Heart, 9/24 Wagner, 10/1 @ Duquesne, 10/8 Stonehill, 10/15 Monmouth, 10/22 Robert Morris, 11/5 @ Albany, 11/12 St. Francis (PA), 11/19 C. Connecticut State
Central Connecticut State Blue Devils
2010 Record: 8-3
CCSU had one of their best seasons in recent memory, but a loss to Robert Morris cost them the NEC title and a trip to the FCS playoffs. They enter 2011 with a 14 game home winning streak, and Robert Morris is coming to New Britain in November.
Gunnar Jasperson returns at QB after passing for 1918 yards last fall, but he needs to up his 11/8 TD to pick ratio in the passing game to push the Devils up a notch. Jasperson added 495 yards and 6 TDs on the ground last fall. The loss of Everett Benjamin at RB is going to be tough to deal with after he ran for 1330 yards last fall. Depth will be lacking in the backfield, as very little game experience returns. Deven Baker will step into the number one receiver slot, but the Devils lose their best two receivers from last fall.
The Devils did have issues on defense last fall, specifically against the run, as they allowed 194.3 yards rushing per game. Lorenzo Baker and Isaiah Boddie return at LB, and will be expected to help find a way to turn the tide after combining for 138 tackles last fall. Lawton Arnold joins them, while sack leader Charles Williams (6 in 2010) returns on the line. Dominic Giampietro will also return up front to try to put more pressure on the backfield. Chris Linares returns as the top play maker in the secondary, but losses there were heavy after last season. Linares will be the most experienced DB returning from last fall, and he is only a sophomore.
CCSU has some serious concerns coming into the season, so they are in danger of losing ground to Bryant.
2011 Schedule: 9/3 S. Connecticut State, 9/10 @ James Madison, 9/17 @ Wagner, 9/24 Monmouth, 10/1 Sacred Heart, 10/8 @ UMass, 10/15 @ Duquesne, 10/22 Albany, 10/29 @ St. Francis (PA), 11/5 Robert Morris, 11/19 @ Bryant
Duquesne Dukes
2010 Record: 7-4
The Dukes took a slight step back last fall, but they are in position to make a major push in 2011. Sean Patterson looks to challenge to become the best QB in the NEC this fall after passing for 2050 yards and 20 TDs last season. Larry McCoy returns at RB to give the Dukes a home run threat whenever he touches the football, as he rushed for 1291 yards last season. The Dukes do lose their two best receivers from last fall, and it falls to Akeem Moore to step it up.
Serge Kona returns at LB, but there was very little in play for play productivity from the rest of the defense last fall, and the Dukes were rather vulnerable against the run. Kona added 10.5 TFLs last fall, so he is truly the only major weapon up front. The Dukes also suffer in the secondary that could limit them as well, with Alex Inda the only real play maker returning.
If the offense can really explode with new receivers this fall, it may be enough to carry a thin defense, but that remains to be seen. Still a top half club, but I don't see enough to challenge for the title outright as of now.
2011 Schedule: 9/3 @ Bucknell, 9/10 @ Dayton, 9/17 Valporaiso, 9/24 @ St. Francis (PA), 10/1 Bryant, 10/8 @ Albany, 10/15 C. Connecticut State, 10/22 Wagner, 10/29 @ Monmouth, 11/12 @ Sacred Heart, 11/19 Robert Morris
Monmouth Hawks
2010 Record: 3-8
The Hawks were literally 4 points from being a 7-4 football team last fall, as they lost 4 games by a total of a point each. Their average margin of defeat for the season was 5.75 points per game, so they were just an incident or two away from having a solid football season. That being said, good teams win close games, and they did not pull that off.
Kyle Frazier returns at QB after passing for 2072 yards last fall, but he needs to to more than toss 9 TD passes on the season. Bilial Sloan-El will likely take over at RB this fall for the departed Bobby Giles, but Sloan-El only carried the ball 51 times last fall. Tyler George returns at TE, and is the best returning receiver the Hawks have, and they will look to Mitch Pollard, a sophomore, and junior Matt Plautz to start at WR.
DB Jose Gumbs and LB Chris Mastrangelo are the top returning tacklers from last fall, but the Hawks lose two of their top four. Jimmy Lawson (3.5 sacks, 5.5 TFLs) is the lone returning threat of a pass rush. Gumbs also brings the only real solid pass defender to the secondary, as he defended 8 passes last fall. He will be surrounded by new starters at every other position in the secondary this season.
It looks like the margin of defeat could widen a bit this season, as I see no real promise to push ahead in 2011.
2011 Schedule: 9/3 Lehigh, 9/17 @ Villanova, 9/24 @ C. Connecticut State, 10/1 Robert Morris, 10/8 Colgate, 10/15 @ Bryant, 10/22 @ Sacred Heart, 10/29 Duquesne, 11/5 @ St. Francis (PA), 11/12 Albany, 11/19 Wagner
Robert Morris Colonials
2010 Record: 8-3
The Colonials are coming off of their first ever playoff trip, which ended in a loss to semi-finalist North Dakota State. The Colonials will be hammered by major losses this fall, as they lose 8 players selected as All-NEC last fall. Jeff Sinclair returns at QB after passing for 1920 yards and 22 TDs, and was our All-Bilo NEC QB of the Year last fall. Losing Myles Russ at RB is really tough, as there was such little depth behind him. There is a major opportunity for a young back to step up big this fall. Shadrae King is probably the best FCS TE in the nation, and he returns after catching 7 TD passes last fall. Converted DB Anthony Coleman is the best returning receiver, but only caught 22 passes in 2010, so there is a void of experience in the receiving corps.
The Colonials also got hit hard on defense, where they lose their three top tacklers from 2010. Nolan Nearhoof returns at DE after leading the team with 4.5 sacks, and Steve Mitchell joins him on the line, but LB depth is a major problem. Eric Lowery and Marvin McAlla return in the secondary, but their best play makers graduated after last season, leaving more questions than answers.
Everyone that finished in the top half of the league has questions coming into this season, so until someone beats out Robert Morris, it's theirs to lose, but they are indeed ripe for the picking.
9/3 Dayton, 9/10 @ Liberty, 9/17 @ Morgan State, 10/1 @ Monmouth, 10/8 St. Francis (PA), 10/15 @ Albany, 10/22 Bryant, 10/29 Sacred Heart, 11/5 @ C. Connecticut State, 11/12 Wagner, 11/19 @ Duquesne
Sacred Heart Pioneers
2010 Record: 4-7
If you are replacing the leagues leading passer, and you only won 4 games the previous season, those are really bad omens as to how your season will likely go. Gregory Ibe will likely be the most experienced player in the backfield, and he only ran the ball 79 times as a sophomore last season, so yeah, it gets worse. The Pioneers do return four receivers who saw valuable time last season, led by team leader Rich Rossi (51-704-5).
LBs Chris Mandas and Michael Zambrano both return on defense, giving the Pioneers a set of building blocks. Justin Embler recorded 3 sacks last fall, but the Pioneers will ask more of him this fall. Embler did record 12 TFLs, while Mandas recorded 10.5. LB Niko Sierra joins Steve Tellefsen in the secondary as solid pass defenders, and Ahmad Covington also returns for SHU.
The defense has pieces to play with, but the offense may have issues when it comes to the QB and RB positions. If the defense keeps them in some close games, and gives the new offense time to develop, SHU could show some improvement.
2011 Schedule: 9/3 Marist, 9/17 Bryant, 9/24 Dartmouth, 10/1 @ C. Connecticut State, 10/8 @ Columbia, 10/15 St. francis (PA), 10/22 Monmouth, 10/29 @ Robert Morris, 11/5 @ Wagner, 11/12 Duquesne, 11/19 @ Albany
St. Francis Red Flash
2010 Record: 1-10
No doubt about it, nothing good came out of last season. Former NFL Lineman Chris Villareal enters his second season trying to figure out how to right this sinking ship, and it's going to be a hell of a challenge for him to do so.
John Kelly returns at QB, but only passed for 1314 yards last fall. There is absolutely no depth at RB, so the backfield, once again, is in total flux. Anthony Howze returns as the top WR, but failed to average 10 yards per catch and never scored last fall.
The Flash will lose their top two tacklers, leaving LB Tyler Gillmen as the best returning tackler, with DB Jakob DeMedal leading the way in the secondary. Ryan Revtai is the only player resembling a backfield threat, but he was only good for 5 TFLs last fall. Jerome Matthews returns in the secondary, but he was not exactly stellar.
Looks like another slide to the bottom coming up for the Flash.
2011 Schedule: 9/3 @ Wagner, 9/10 @ North Dakota State, 9/17 Morehead State, 9/24 Duquesne, 10/1 Albany, 10/8 @ Robert Morris, 10/15 @ Sacred Heart, 10/22 @ Youngstown State, 10/29 C. Connecticut State, 11/5 Monmouth, 11/12 @ Bryant
Wagner Seahawks
2010 Record: 5-6
Nick Doscher passed for 2067 and 16 TDs, but only completed 50% of his passes and tossed 15 picks. Good with the bad. Doscher also rushed for 672 yards and 6 TDs, so he is all important for the success or lack thereof for the Seahawks. Torian Phillips will likely step into the starting job at RB out of camp, but depth is at a premium. David Carter is the only returning receiver that saw extensive game action last fall, so again, depth is an issue.
Carl Oliver-Prime returns at LB, but the Seahawks lose their top three tacklers last fall. DE Julian Stanford also returns, and is on our watch list for All-Bilo FCS Defensive Lineman of the year. He is very good, and was good for 64 tackles, 7 sacks, and 12.5 TFLs last fall. Even with Stanford, the defense loses so much talent, that it may become easier for teams to defend against him. The secondary was decimated by graduation losses.
Wagner, again, has some pieces to compete, but the defense loses so much experience. If Doscher can keep the offense on the field, the defense may have some time to catch up. The offense will have to score plenty to make this work.
2011 Schedule: 9/3 St. Francis (PA), 9/10 @ Richmond, 9/17 C. Connecticut State, 9/24 @ Bryant, 10/1 @ Cornell, 10/8 Georgetown, 10/22 @ Duquesne, 10/29 Albany, 11/5 Sacred Heart, 11/12 @ Robert Morris, 11/19 @ Monmouth

A COMMUNITY leader has urged others to sign up as organ donors after revealing how his own transplant saved his life.
Councillor Robin Todd was told he would need a new heart after falling ill with a virus which caused cardiomyopathy – a disease of the muscle.
After a false start, where the father-of-two was told the heart which had been found for him was not suitable, just moments before he was due to be sent into the operating theatre, he was given a new organ which has improved his life.
This spring will mark 12 years since he underwent the procedure.
The 72-year-old is married to Sheila, 70, and is dad to Michael, 41, and Julie, 43.
Coun Todd, a member of South Hetton Parish Council and ward member for Shotton division on Durham County Council, said: "I was being treated for a chest infection, but no treatment or drugs, nothing would work, so I was sent for scans and x-rays at the Freeman and they told me I needed a new heart.
"I'm a fairly calm person, not much knocks me off guard, but my kids took it hard and it had a devastating affect on my family.
"They just couldn't understand, I was always so active.
"We spent time waiting, but we also had to think about our expectations.
"I was continuously monitored and there was feedback to my GP.
"I had a pager with me and if it went off, you had to get to a phone.
"We had one false alarm late one evening when I was ready to go into theatre and the doctor came out and said sorry, but the heart they were going to give me was in a worse state than mine, so we had to go home.
"Then weeks later, we got another call to say they had a heart and that time, that was it.
"We know it came from a young man who had died in a traffic accident.
"It was a tragedy, but others benefitted from that tragedy."
The man's heart was one of a number of organs passed on to those in need of transplants.
Coun Todd, a former colliery electrician, added: "I remember a girl of 18 from Aberdeen who had cystic fibrosis received the lungs from the same person.
"I've seen her a couple of times since when we've been for follow-ups and she's like a different person.
"I continue to make an effort today so that people know the register is there.
"People can speak to their doctors for advice and look online for all sorts of information to get guidance."
He still had regular checks as part of his ongoing care after his operation.

Wyden To Bring Attention To Hanford
RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) — A Northwest lawmaker whose home state neighbors the nation's most contaminated nuclear site says the committee he chairs will hold several hearings about cleanup troubles there. Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon is the new chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Wyden toured south-central Washington's Hanford nuclear reservation yesterday, and says he is planning to move nuclear waste issues up the list of priorities in Washington D.C.

Economies of Scale and Scope: A Cost Analysis of Municipal Solid Waste Services
The economics literature in municipal solid waste (MSW)markets is concerned primarily with demand-side issues and the associated policy implications. Few have studied the cost structure of this market, and none model the multiple product nature of MSWservices. We argue that the production of MSWservices has two major components Ð disposal and recycling, and that cost complementarities between the two activities may exist. Hence, we specify a multipleoutput cost structure, which models the relationship between recycling and disposal activity and investigates the extent of product-speci® c scale economies and overall scope economies in this market.

Hamish MacCunn
Life Path Number 3
Hamish MacCunn is a male celebrity.
He was born on Sunday March 22nd 1868, in Greenock, Scotland,.
Hamish MacCunn possesses a great talent for creativity and self expression. Many writers, poets, actors and musicians are born under the 3 Life Path. Hamish is witty, possesses a gift for gab, and savors the limelight. His talent for the expressive arts is so abundant that MacCunn may well have felt drawn to becoming an artist while still very young. Hamish MacCunn's artistic abilities can only be developed, however, through discipline and commitment to the true development of his talent. Commitment, concentration and hard work are the only means of bringing forth his talent.
Thanks to his gift for self expression, Hamish can be the life of the party, and the center of attention. However, he could easily squander his talent by becoming a social butterfly. Hamish's creativity is the gift that can give him the comfort and luxury he desires, but not without continual focus and discipline. MacCunn is optimistic and possesses the resilience to overcome many setbacks. He is socially active, popular, and inspires people with his sunny "happy go lucky" attitude. Hamish MacCunn can be generous to a fault. Many people born under the 3 Life Path have difficulty handling money because they can be disorganized and not particularly serious about their responsibilities. Hamish is emotional and vulnerable. When hurt, he withdraws into a cloud of silence, eventually emerging from his reticence with jokes and laughter that cover up his true feelings. He can become moody and cynical when depressed. MacCunn can succumb to sarcastic remarks, which can be painful to those around him.
When used positively, Hamish MacCunn's talent for self expression can be a great inspiration force in the world, uplifting others, and bringing much success and happiness to him.
You and Hamish
About Hamish's Life Path number

In that instant, Hamish stepped through a door in time into a new reality - the reality of human life.

I received my undergraduate degree from the University of California, Los Angeles, and hold a Masters in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. My published master's thesis entitled: The Bell Jar Retort: Challenging the Tortured Artist Archetype (2011) featured qualitative research focusing on the treatment of creative individuals in psychotherapy, and explored the vulnerabilities and sensitivities of the artistic temperament. Working with creative individuals remains a specialty and passion within my practice.
I have worked in a wide array of clinical settings treating diverse populations throughout Los Angeles from homeless and at risk youth, to high profile executives and creative professionals. I was elected by my peers to serve as the Vice President for the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals ( IAEDP) in Los Angeles, and have completed extensive post graduate specialization training in trauma, eating disorders, and the early developmental ruptures that underlie an impaired capacity for connection to self and to others.
How I Work
While I tailor my approach to each client, my psychological interventions are rooted in contemporary psychodynamic and psychoanalytic practice, attachment theory, and trauma-informed somatic psychology. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). I also integrate behavioral and evidence based approaches including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Mentalization Based Therapy ( MBT) as needed. After over a decade of teaching and practicing yoga and meditation I am well versed in mindfulness based approaches and stress management techniques for emotional regulation. I may incorporate all these interventions exclusively or in combination given the presenting concern.
I believe in treating the whole person, and hold firmly to the principle that one should never forget the unique humanity of a client through the over-valuation of any theory.

SIR – Professor Susan Jebb, the Government's chief obesity adviser, has said that parents should ban all drinks but water from the dinner table. Perhaps many children's digestive systems would benefit if they were to eat at the dinner table in the first place.
Robin Whiting
Castle Rising, Norfolk
SIR – By all means, let's encourage families to drink more water and make sugary drinks an occasional treat for children.
Drinking fountains in public places and school corridors were commonplace into the Fifties and Sixties. Since the water supply was privatised, these have all but disappeared.
The first water fountains were a public health measure, introduced by the Victorians. We need to reinstate the humble drinking fountain as part of our battle plan against obesity.
Surely the water companies could fund this as part of their corporate social responsibilities. Now that would be a "Responsibility Deal".
Professor John R Ashton
President, Faculty of Public Health
London NW1
SIR – The costs of the NHS are unsustainable and obesity adds £15 billion annually. How to solve both problems? Levy VAT at the full rate on all drinks and foods containing added sugar. Nanny-statish perhaps, but this sugar is not required nutritionally.
The Conservatives might introduce this after the election, not before, or they risk an attack by Labour on "fashionably slim wealthy rulers targeting fat proles".
Richard Bethell
Horley, Surrey
SIR – Tax on sugar may have been removed in 1874 (Letters, June 21) but excise duty was imposed on it in 1901. This tax was easily and cheaply collected, being paid by the sugar producers. The tax covered sugar, invert, molasses, glucose syrups and saccharin. The duty was repealed in 1962.
Peter Hull
Hoo, Kent
SIR – Rather than resuscitating a sugar tax, the Government should be looking at positive ways to encourage reduced calorific consumption. This could be by subsidising the consumption of stevia. This is a zero-calorie sweetener now being used in carbonated drinks, among other things. The level of subsidy might be related to the estimated amount of NHS savings in its costs of treating obesity.
Nicholas Sibley
La Colle sur Loup, Alpes-Maritimes, France
SIR – I still have a box of sugar cubes bought in France at the time of the 1975 sugar crisis. Since I gave up sugar in tea 30 years ago, it will be left to one of my descendants to deal with.

Man allowed to have sex with other women only if wife gets to watch!
A 60-year-old man from Singapore has been allowed by his wife to take home young Vietnamese brides on a condition that she gets to watch them during the "child making process"
According to China Press, a bride agency's owner said that he had recommended women to the couple in the past and also a few months ago, and that the condition scared off three young Vietnamese women.
"The childless couple approached my agency and shortlisted the candidates. Each woman tried to live with them but the first two did not even make it past two weeks," Star Online quoted Marco Lim as saying.
"They left and returned to Vietnam," he stated.
Lim revealed that he had to persuade the women to tell him the reason behind the failed relationships.
"They must have felt pressured because the wife would watch them carefully each time they had sex with the man. I was told that the wife would even set the schedule for the man to have sex with the women.
"She also held on to their passports and forbade them from making calls," he added.


text: We started playing badminton on my grass and I am wondering if there is anything I could do to help the grass recover in the places the traffic is biggest. After a few hours you can clearly see where we played as the grass is bent and worn out looking in those places. Right now I rake it around a bit and then put loads of water down in those places which seems to help a bit. Is this the right thing to do? is there anything else I can do? I try to limit the traffic as much as I can but the grass aint there to just look at it. Not in my family's opinion anyway

Now that the 2012 MLB Winter Meetings are done and over with, the long and calming free agency period begins. The same situation happens every year. Big names will still be looking to sign and until that happens, the rest of the free agents stay put. Once the big name land, then free agency kicks right back up.
If Philadelphia Phillies general manager, Ruben Amaro Jr., wants to make sure his team is able to compete in 2013, then he needs to jump the gun and pursue filling a major need for his team. Amaro needs to go out and sign Mike Adams to pitch the 8th inning for his ball club.
Think about it.
This is the perfect time to do it. While everyone else is waiting in the weeds, which Amaro usually does, he could be pursuing Adams at a higher rate than expected.
Jayson Stark has already noted, earlier this week, that Adams was already on the Phillies list of possible setup men.
Why sign Adams?
He has been dominant throughout his career in the 8th inning and even in the closer's role. Adams has a career record of 18-15 but has an ERA of 2.28. He did show some signs of trouble last season in Texas, however.
Signing Adams may help the rest of the bullpen out as well. Look back to when the Phillies bullpen was dominant. At that time, Ryan Madson was the setup man. With Madson in the setup role, the rest of the bullpen started to get used to pitching a certain inning, which resulted in better outcomes for the Phillies. So if the Phillies were to get Adams, it would be to the benefit of players such as Antonio Bastardo, Michael Stutes, and youngsters like Jeremy Horst and Phillippe Aumont.
Why shy away from Adams?
Adams, as mentioned before, is coming off of the worst season of his career. He not only struggled with his 3.27 ERA, which is really not that bad for playing in Texas, but he also dealt with injury. In fact, Adams underwent a procedure to treat the symptoms of Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, which involves the neck and shoulder area.
Amaro has already passed on a trade to acquire Wilton Lopez earlier this off season due to health issues. Will Amaro go after a guy who is basically a risk/reward type player? If he does, which would be ideal for the bullpen, then the Phillies could find themselves with a very dominant arm pitching the 8th inning for them in 2013.

Bruce Ratner remains a minority partner in the New Jersey Nets, so he's not at liberty to question the decisions made by the team's new majority owner, Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov. But if there's one consequence of the new regime's attempt to distance itself from last season's nearly historic -- as in historically bad --12-70 record that bothers him, it's how assistant general manager Kiki Vandeweghe was sent packing.
Enough so that Ratner's conscience apparently compelled him to speak out about it. Especially now that team president Rod Thorn is stepping aside as well and the team is in search of new leadership altogether.
"He didn't go out the way he should have," Ratner said now of Vandeweghe. "The team is in a really good position and he was instrumental in putting it there."
The Nets have $30 million in cap space and Vandeweghe, Ratner said, helped create $27 million of it. Ratner credited Vandeweghe for helping secure their existing nucleus of center Brook Lopez and All-Star point guard Devin Harris as well.
"Kiki did a lot of the negotiating," Ratner said.
Vandeweghe, Ratner suggested, hurt himself by agreeing to be "a good soldier" and serve as interim coach after an 0-19 start prompted the firing of Lawrence Frank. With the team's sale already on the horizon, Thorn didn't want to hire a coach for what might be a 63-game stint.
"There was no upside," Ratner says. "Kiki did it because Rod asked him and Kiki thought it was best for the team. A lot of people complained that he wasn't a good coach, but he'd never coached before and the truth is, we were playing better by the end of the season. His decision to coach the team was one of the most selfless things done in sports management. It was courageous. It probably hurt his career."
Thorn, sources say, promised to present the two of them to Prokhorov as a package deal. Whatever happened in the talks between Prokhorov and Thorn, Vandeweghe found out through a newspaper reporter's phone call while on a scouting trip that he wasn't being retained.
Vandeweghe declined to comment on his awkward ouster or Ratner's contention that he was treated unfairly. Ratner stopped short of saying Vandeweghe should have been retained -- especially now that Thorn found Prokhorov's offer to stay unacceptable and also is out -- but gave him ample credit for the team's promising future.
"Creating cap room was very heavily Kiki," Ratner says. "I don't ever want to say the organization is weaker, but Kiki's input will be missed. Having him in an organization is a positive."
That said, Ratner doesn't see the Nets bringing Vandeweghe back. His gratitude for Vandeweghe's work and guilt over how he was dismissed stops short of going to bat for him.
"It's Mikhail's team now and he wants to put his stamp on it," Ratner says. "I can understand that."
