Sydney - Officials in southern Australia's Adelaide voiced their disappointment on Saturday at revelations that US singer Cher had apparently put her key to the city up for sale on internet auction house eBay.
The key and accompanying memorial plaque was being sold online by a user called Authentic_Cher who claims to be the musician's "personal consignor" selling her personal effects.
It had attracted a top ask of US$19 700 by Saturday afternoon, with four more days of bidding to go.
But the move offended officials in the quiet city of about 1.2 million people, with Adelaide mayor Stephen Yarwood saying he was "exceptionally disappointed."
"It must be very embarrassing for her if she is selling it because she needs the money," Yarwood told the city's Adelaide Advertiser newspaper.
The man who presented Cher the key, former mayor Steve Condous, said the award had been in recognition of her performance at the 1990 Formula One Grand Prix and the fact that she "added a lot of charisma" to the event.
"I'm disappointed. I would have thought that getting the key to a city like Adelaide would have had some value to her, but obviously it doesn't because she wouldn't have got rid of it," said Condous.
"If she didn't want to keep it she should have returned it back to the city."
Used shoes and clothing reportedly belonging to the star were also being auctioned, along with a "personally owned photograph" of Cher greeting Queen Elizabeth II.
Cher, 65, earned both Oscar and Grammy glory in a career which saw her sell more than 100 million records.

Perfect On The Wrong Day Lyrics by Sky Eats Airplane
Perfect On The Wrong Day by Sky Eats Airplane
Take all your regrets and throw them aside. lets hope that you survive the "you deserve better"'s and blatant lies told by your closest enemies.
You wanted all I couldn't give and now you're sick over my treasons. I hope you never notice
But what's done is done and now I can't come back.
I'm just chasing after what I can't ever reach.. but that's not so bad... is it?

HI all,
Question 1 - in basic 101 for student like moi:
What's the difference and/or relations between Dracaena and Cordyline ?
I salvaged from a nursery what we call here in Israel Red Dracaena australis, and which is called in several sites - Red Cordyline - hence the above confusion - in Question 1.
The tall trunk (about 5 feet tall) is damaged - the "tip", the "heart" broke !
From the base there is a new healthy baby stem growing. - see in first picture
Question 2 - If i will cut the trunk just under the crown - see in second picture (at finger point) - will it yield/grow a split of trunks at the top (just under the cut) ? (the way Dracaena tricolor or red margins Draceena do) !
HI all,
Ronnie: Does that plant have any life left? It looks a bit fried to me. I would chop the top off and see if you get any green wood and if so, I would think it would sprout some new side shoots! I see you are in zone 10b, which I thought would be year round warm weather? That plant looks like it spent the winter in a cold climate. I sure hope it's still alive and I'm pretty sure if it's still viable, you can prune it and it will have regrowth.
Hopefully one of the experts will come along soon to give you some good advice. Have you thought about posting this over on the Tropical's forum? There are lots of very knowledgeable folks there who I bet could answer your questions!
Good Luck,

DUBLIN, March 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3wpfqm/global_public) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the International Public Safety LTE Market" report to their offering.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769 )
In recent years, the cross-border security has become a point of concern for many countries. Most of the major countries are facing direct or indirect spying threat from their so called enemy countries. China is the main country that is alleged to be involved in such practices and hence been accused of inducing malwares and spywares in the networks deployed abroad. Moreover, Chinese vendors are also embroiled in the allegations of practicing "dumping" in the abroad markets to consolidate their presence in those markets.
Many countries such as the US and Australia have even disbarred Chinese vendors from bidding in any of the projects. This trend definitely will not stop the requirement for the public safety LTE technology but will make the reach of incumbent vendors and budding vendors, alike, limited to only a few countries and decrease their chance to flourish in the developed countries.
According to the report, the high-end data capabilities of LTE technology are one of the major growth drivers in the market. In the recent years, the Global Telecom industry has seen unprecedented growth of data applications and their abilities to serve a myriad of scenarios. Almost all the major telecom network operators are signing up for LTE in their respective service networks. The same LTE capabilities can be exploited in the mission-critical scenarios efficiently.
Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the wide presence of PMR technologies. PMR technologies for public safety have long-held, and rather, strong presence in the Public Safety industry. These are used extensively in different parts of the world and find applications in different domains ranging from police to ports.
The report also includes a discussion of the other vendors operating in this market. The other vendors in the market are Airspan Networks Inc., Cassidian Communications Inc., Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., and ZTE Corp.
The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.

1. Executive Summary
2. List of Abbreviations

MORGAN — The Federal Aviation Administration began its investigation Friday into a fatal plane crash in Morgan County.
The body of Darren Tidwell, 50, of Huntsville, the pilot and lone occupant of the plane, was recovered Thursday night, according to the Morgan County Sheriff's Office.
Tidwell took off from Morgan about 6:30 p.m. Thursday en route to Logan but crashed shortly after takeoff, about five miles away in a remote and rugged area.
The sheriff's office said Tidwell was an experienced pilot. He is listed as an FAA registered aircraft manufacturer and dealer.

Girls have really messy rooms. Fact. Photographer Maya Fuhr investigates
It's common knowledge that the female of the species have bedrooms that lean more towards the landfill site aesthetic. It's no biggie, it's just the consequences of liking loads of stuff and subsequently obtaining it to keep. Anyway, photographer Maya Fuhr was commissioned by Vice to photograph messy ladies with very messy rooms for a series entitled Garbage Girls. What's nice about these shots is not just the sheer amount of crap littered around their bedrooms, but the deadpan "give a shit" looks from the girls themselves. Chastise us all you want, but cleaning is boring and girls rule! Check out more of Maya's really, really great photography on her site.

Obama: Not Going to Send Jets for Force Down Snowden's Plane
Says He 'Shouldn't Have to' Ask Russia for Snowden's Capture
President Obama sought to downplay his administration's oft-bellicose efforts to acquire whistleblower Edward Snowden, saying that he isn't "going to be scrambling jets to get a 29-year-old hacker."
It's not entirely a rhetorical point, as White House Press Secretary Jay Carney conspicuously dodged questions about whether or not the US might militarily attack a civilian airliner carrying Snowden, fueling speculation that it was at least a possibility under consideration.
Obama also appeared to pout about the Russian government's refusal to hand Snowden over, saying he didn't feel like he should have to personally ask Russia or China to capture Snowden for him, and that his "continued expectation" is that Russia will eventually knuckle under.
Obama's comments typified the administration's reaction, as he simultaneously tried to downplay the revelations while seeming baffled and somewhat angered that the US government's hope to punish Snowden for revealing their abusive surveillance wasn't universally shared.

Take, for example, Double Dungeons, originally released on the TurboGrafX. The game is made of awfulness and redundancy. Dennis braved the game and took on the tremendous burden of writing about it. Kudos to him.
I myself played a much more enjoyable game, the classic Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, which has been released for both the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. This game changed the series forever, and it's worth much more than the $10 you pay to download it to either next-gen console.

FEMA returns to view flood damage
Federal disaster relief officials on Tuesday began examining roughly 300 homes throughout Milwaukee County that were damaged by July's floods but were not taken into account when the U.S. government declined to provide assistance to individuals whose homes were lost or badly damaged.
Officials became aware of the damage at many of the homes through surveys that were circulated in the city of Milwaukee after last month's decision by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to decline individual aid to residents of Milwaukee, Waukesha and Grant counties.
Gov. Jim Doyle, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett and Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker have criticized FEMA's decision, and Doyle has promised an appeal.
After the state files a formal appeal, FEMA will consider both damage assessments from about 300 homes to be examined this week as well as previous damage assessments before re-evaluating whether to provide aid to individual residents, said Paul Ricciuti, a federal coordinating officer with the agency.
FEMA crews began examining additional homes in Grant County on Monday, said Marquita Hynes, a regional spokeswoman for FEMA. Waukesha County did not request additional assessments, she said.
FEMA declined to provide aid to individuals, in part, because the agency's guidelines give greater consideration to homes that suffer damage to the first floor or above. Basement damage warrants a lesser "affected" designation, and much of the damage to Milwaukee homes from the July 22 storms was to basements.
Barrett said Tuesday that he hopes FEMA representatives touring damaged homes this week realize that basements of many homes in the city contain living quarters or essential equipment such as water heaters and furnaces.
The additional assessments are an "attempt to make our case that these individuals have suffered major damage to their homes, that the damage that's been done really has had an impact on the livability of the homes that they live in," Barrett said while in the 5000 block of N. 26th St., where officials were touring damaged homes.
Local governments in Milwaukee and Grant counties have received relief funds from FEMA for damage to public property through a disaster declaration issued last month by President Barack Obama.

The cloud plays an integral role in enabling the agility required to take advantage of new business models and to do so in a very convenient and cost-effective way. However, this also means that more personal information and business data will exist in the cloud and be passed back and forth. Maintaining data integrity is paramount.
Today's approach to security in the cloud may not be sufficient; it doesn't focus on putting controls close to data, which is now more fluid, and it doesn't discriminate one set of data from another. All data is not created equal and should not be treated in the same manner; a one-size fits all model doesn't work.
In this always-connected world, protection measures in the cloud need to focus on what really matters - the type of data, how it is used, and where it goes.
Data Classification
In order to adequately protect data in the cloud, organizations need to start considering how to classify data. One approach is to use a three-tier data protection model to cater to data of different sensitivities and relevance across industries. This model would include:
Tier 1, Regulated: Data subject to regulation, or data that carries with it proprietary, ethical, or privacy considerations such as personally identifiable information (PII). Unauthorized disclosure of regulated data may have serious adverse effects on an organization's reputation, resources, services, or individuals and requires the most stringent level of control.
Tier 2, Commercial: Industry-related, ecommerce or transactional and intellectual property data whose unauthorized disclosure may have moderately adverse effects on an organization's reputation, resources, services, or individuals. Commercial data requires a moderate level of security.
Tier 3, Collaborative: Collaborative and DevOps-type data that typically is publicly accessible, requires minimal security controls and poses little or no risk to the consuming organization's reputation, resources, or services.
Using this model, security teams can strategically partner with business users to understand requirements and determine the right approach for their organization. Small to mid-sized organizations, enterprises, and service providers can apply this model to begin classifying their data based on contextual attributes such as how the data will be accessed, stored, and transmitted. Once the data is classified, they can then apply appropriate data protection measures focused on protecting work streams and transactions that continue to evolve to enable business agility. Given that most of today's data breaches are a result of user-access issues, security considerations such as Identity and Access Management, Authorization, and Authentication are critical.
The Data Integrity Challenge
Understanding and classifying data is just a first step, albeit an important one. Organizations also need to determine how to ensure data integrity when the perimeter is amorphous and control of the endpoints and the data is diminished mobility and cloud services.
Business departments are increasingly encouraged to find efficient and innovative ways to generate new business. This requires identifying new applications and ways to support the business anywhere and anytime. Business users often make the decision to use the cloud before involving IT since they can get up and running in a fraction of the time and cost it would take to provision in house.
With this unprecedented change in operations and infrastructure comes an unprecedented need for ensuring data integrity - ultimately working through the life cycle of data that can, at any point, be within the confines of a company, out to a network of partners and suppliers, or floating in a cloud. The challenge in this fractured landscape is that the perimeter is amorphous, but legacy security solutions are not; designed for a time when there was a more well-defined perimeter. The result is that attackers now use various techniques to bypass traditional perimeter-based defenses and compromise data - be it through tampering, stealing, or leaking data. Point-in-time defenses are no longer sufficient.
To effectively protect data wherever it may be, defenses must go beyond simply blocking and detection to including capabilities such as data correlation, continuous data analysis, and retrospective action when data has been found to have been corrupted, tampered with, or exfiltrated.
A New Approach to Applying Controls
In order to protect the classes of data described earlier - regulated, commercial, and collaborative - security teams need a mix of policy, process, and technology controls. These controls should be applied based on user and location context and according to a security model that is open, integrated, continuous, and pervasive:
- Open to provide access to global intelligence and context to detect and remediate breaches and to support new standards for data protection.
- Integrated solutions that enable policy to be automated and minimize manual processes can close gaps in security and support centralized management and control according to data classifications.
- Both point-in-time solutions as well as continuous capabilities are needed to identify new threats to data.
- Pervasive security delivers protection across the full attack continuum - before, during, and after an attack.
Let's take a closer look at the advantages of applying controls to protect data based on this model.
Openness provides:
- The opportunity to participate in an open community of users and standards bodies to ensure consistent data classification and standards of policy and process.
- Easy integration with other layers of security defenses to continue to uphold data protection best practices as IT environments and business requirements change.
- The ability to access to global intelligence with the right context to identify new threats and take immediate action.
Integrated enables:
- Technology controls that map to data tiers and also track data through different usage contexts and locations to support the fundamental first step of data classification.
- Identity and access controls, authorization, and authentication that work in unison to map data protection to data classifications.
- Encryption controls applied based on deemed data sensitivity to further strengthen protection, including strong encryption key standards (minimum AES256) and encryption keys retained by data owners.
- Security solutions and technologies that seamlessly work together to protect data across its entire lifecycle.
- Centralized policy management, monitoring, and distributed policy enforcement to ensure compliance with regulatory and corporate policies.
Continuous supports:
- Technologies and services to constantly aggregate and correlate data from across the connected environment with historical patterns and global attack intelligence to maintain real-time contextual information, track data movement, and detect data exfiltration.
- The ability to leverage insights into emerging new threats, take action (automatically or manually) to stop these threats, and use that intelligence to protect against future data breaches.
Pervasive translates into:
- Defenses (including technologies and best practices) that address the full attack continuum - before, during, and after an attack. Before an attack, total, actionable visibility is required to see who is accessing what data from where and how, and to correlate that information against emerging threat vectors. During an attack, continuous visibility and control to analyze and take action in real time to protect data is necessary. After an attack, the key is to mitigate the damage, remediate, quickly recover, and prevent similar, future data breaches, data tampering, or data corruption activities.
- The ability to address all attack vectors - including network, endpoints, virtual, the cloud, email and Web - to mitigate risk associated with various communications channels that could be used by an attacker to compromise data.
Today's cloud-driven, always-connected world is enabling organizations to be very agile but it is also putting data integrity at risk. IT teams need to quickly adapt to this new way of doing business despite having less control of the endpoints and the data. Traditional data protection models fail due to their inability to discriminate one set of data from another. By putting in place protection measures based on the type of data, how it is used, and where it goes, and backed by a security model that is open, integrated, continuous, and pervasive, organizations can take advantage of new business opportunities the cloud affords without sacrificing data integrity.

Challenging first year for Waikato equestrian
Relevant offers
Other Sports
In April last year, Lizzie Brown packed up her life in New Zealand and moved to England to chase her dream of being a professional three-day event rider and attempt to follow in the footsteps of fellow Cambridge products Mark Todd and Andrew Nicholson.
It was a daunting move for the then 23-year-old; she wasn't just leaving home but setting up a business on the other side of the world and trying to be successful in a hugely competitive and expensive sport.
It has been "quite a challenge" but 18 months on and she feels much more comfortable.
"It was a huge move for me," she said.
"When I finished uni (with a Bachelor of Business Management degree from Waikato University in 2010) I had a couple of horses which were going quite well so I thought it was a good time to go over to the UK.
That was the next step for me, starting a career as an event rider."
Of course, not everything immediately fell into place.
"When I made the decision to go I had to sell a lot of my horses here and I just ended up taking one, so the last two years have been about rebuilding, getting in some young horses and learning about how it all works over there, because it does take a bit of time to find your feet.
"And it's really hard financially; it's always on your mind. Horses are not cheap to run and you've got to have good horses if you want to be competitive. You have to sell horses along the way, and rely on owners and sponsors to get by. I've been lucky, I've had a few good breaks, but I'm always looking for new owners and more support."
Her top horse, Henton Attorney General, didn't travel well to England so had some "pretty rubbish results" but he's enjoyed a big break in the off-season and Brown expects him to be stronger next year.
At the moment he's just a three-star horse but she'd "love to do a four-star on him" and she now has another young horse, Playtime, in her yard at Milton Stud near Marlborough, whom she rates a good prospect.
"I've learnt heaps and I feel like from next year onwards I've got some good horses and I can really start thinking about getting some good results."
The plan is to get both horses performing consistently next year so they can develop into contenders for the New Zealand team at the 2014 world championships, and then the 2016 Rio Olympics.
She's been lucky in that Wiltshire is essentially "Kiwi territory" with Nicholson and Todd in nearby yards. The old hands are "extremely generous" with advice and Brown trains with the New Zealand team under national coach Eric Duvander when they get together - she one of the younger brigade that includes the likes of Jock Paget, Clarke Johnstone, Jonelle Richards and Lucy Jackson.
"I'm really lucky to be part of that programme," she said. "I've had lots of support from New Zealand financially as well as through coaching and it's amazing having those riders over there close to where I live. I see a lot of them.
"I didn't think Andrew and Mark would still be in the sport - which sounds really bad, they're getting on now - but they're still the best in the world and they're very generous with advice and help. The team culture among the Kiwis is quite special."
Brown is enjoying time back home, away from intense competition and the "financial stress", before returning to the UK next month.
She is doing some coaching and will compete at the Puhinui Horse Trials in South Auckland this weekend.
The CCI three-star event is as big as it gets in New Zealand - and in the southern hemisphere is only topped by the four-star Adelaide event - but Brown, who won the headline class in 2010, is just riding in the pre-novice class on a young horse called Princeton that she wants to take back to England.
There are 12 entries in the CCI three-star, including Super League leader Donna Smith (Te Kauwhata), defending champion Christen Hayde (Pukekohe), and Amberley's Annabel Wigley.
