Travel Tips
Toddler Toy Ideas for Air Travel
It's easy to become nervous in anticipation of a plane ride with a toddler. One never knows how the child will behave on an airplane, and a dreaded temper tantrum breaking out during the middle of the flight is a true possibility. These days, families can actually be removed from airplanes before take-off if there is an unruly child on board!
So, the best way to avoid any such problems is to pack toys and activities for the child that will prevent boredom. Boredom is the number one reason a toddler misbehaves on an airplane. Unfortunately, it's impossible to pack a child's entire playroom and bring it on the plane. In fact, it's harder than ever to bring multiple toys on an airplane due to carry-on restrictions. This is why it's important to think about and analyze the specific items that will be brought on the plane for your child.
Following are some toddler travel toy ideas that will (hopefully) make traveling via airplane much more relaxing for parents and other airline passengers:
Pack toys that are new to the child: New toys are exciting and fun to open, figure out, and play with.
Coloring Books: Bring along a coloring book and a brand new box of markers or crayons.
Sticker Books: For some reason, sticker books and toddlers go very well together on airplanes. Sticker books can provide fun for a child for an extended period of time.
Books: Bring your child's favorite book, and a new book too. He or she may want you to read them several times.
Magnetic Toys: Magnetic Toys, as long as the pieces are large enough so that they don't pose a choking hazard, are great for airline travel. Since magnets tend to stick together, it's easy to keep the pieces from rolling around the airplane cabin.
The key to presenting toys to a child on an airplane is to take items out of the carry-on bag one at a time, and also gradually. Don't take a new toy out of the bag and let him or her know that there is another toy just waiting to be released. This may cause the child to lose interest in the first toy very quickly. Also, keep in mind that there will be a return flight, so save some of the toys for that flight too.
When you arrive at your location, Baby's Away offers a toy bucket that has age appropriate toys for your child. Many of our customers call our toy bucket the babysitter bucket as the toys keep your child occupied for many hours and there is a good variety to keep them interested over several days.

UPDATED: There are updated numbers from the U.S. Parks Police — they now estimate that 1.2 Million Protesters attended the Grassroots March on Washington on 9/12/09.
The blog "Exposing Obama" has posted information about the march today including pictures of the crowds. There are several different versions on the count going around. NBC's "own people" say at least hundreds of thousands", and the Daily Mail in the UK are reporting up to 2 million were there.
They had to close down Pennsylvania Avenue to accomodate protestors who were trying to get to the mall.
This was a great day for our country, for so many to take time out and come tell our government "in person" that we are TIRED of the lies, and the out of control slide into a Communist or Fascist country.
Be sure to check out the coverage – print, video & pictures!

text: VIDEO: Eric Stoltz as the original Marty McFly 12:22 PM PDT 10/12/2010 by Bryan Alexander FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME YOUTUBE Never-before-seen clip of the first 'Back to the Future' star Everyone knows the classic 1985 film "Back to the Future" featured a boyish Michael J. Fox in a winning performance as Marty McFly. But Fox was not the original McFly. In fact, Eric Stoltz was five weeks into shooting the famed McFly role when director and co-writer Robert Zemeckis made a drastic production decision -- changing his lead actor. Details of the shocking Hollywood switch and never-before-seen footage of Stoltz as McFly are part of the extras package for the "Back to the Future 25th Anniversary Trilogy" to be released on Blu-Ray on Oct. 26. Zemeckis says the casting change was "this horrific decision; it was heartbreaking for everybody." Executive producer Steven Spielberg said that Zemeckis consulted him before pursuing the casting change. "(Zemeckis) showed me the first five weeks of shooting that he had put together," Spielberg said. " And he said, 'I just don't think we're getting the laughs I was hoping we would get.' " Spielberg said he realized his director "was absolutely correct." The rest is pop-culture history. Zemeckis was able to "convince the studio to let me reshoot five weeks of work," and Michael J. Fox was cast in a career-defining role. "Back to the Future," released on July 3, 1985, would go on to gross $381 million worldwide and lead to two further sequels.

Free to Be You and Holy Hell, No They Just Did Not! (um, recap)
Was so excited that I am writing this fresh off my DVRed viewing, so not so much careful quoting as major paraphrasing. I trust y'all to correct me if I get anything wrong :-)
And before we go any further, obligatory SPOILER alert for last night's ep "Free to Be You and Me" (in which our intrepid heroes have parted ways :sob:)
Okay, THEN, and now: Sam wakes up in a hotel bed with....Jessica. Who appears to be getting all pep-talky about how it's silly for him to run away from Dean/hunting because what he's really trying to do is run away from himself which ain't gonna fly. He will always be a freak. More or less. And I had two gut reactions to this scene.
1) Have you guys noticed that whenever the guys part ways/are separated by one of them being tortured in hell, Sam ends up alongside some chick? Meg, in Scarecrow, as early as season 1. Then later, the poor doomed engaged girl who was also "special." And do not even get me started on Ruby in the months Dean was dead. (I even think I might be missing one in there. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?)
2) I turned to my hubby and asked, "So do we think this is like the good spirit of Jess trying to put him back on his right path--ie fighting evil with his bro--or do we think it's something evil disguised as Jess trying to make him so hopeless he kills himself or something equally ill-advised and desperate?" (Stick around til the end of the recap for the exciting answer).
Show opens on fabulous "Simple Man" montage which juxtaposes Sam's new life as a barback (splattering lemon juice on himself) against Dean's continuing hunter's life (in which he of course is spattered in blood). Honestly, this couple of minutes was quite well done.
Sam is working in a bar under the name of "Keith" (really? I don't see it) and Dean...is being snuck up on by Castiel ("Cass, we've talked about this. Personal space!"). And now I must say something which is going to cause you guys to throw rotten fruit at me and disavow me as a blasphemer. Of COURSE I want the brothers to mend their falling out and rediscover their fun kicking butt chemistry circa season 2, but y'all, if Dean and Castiel ever got a spin-off, I would totally watch it. As always Dean has his pop-culture refs (namely, Thelma and Louise) but they're more hilarious now that he's bouncing him off someone who clearly Does Not Get It.
Cass is still on his quest to find God and has a lead in the form of the archangel Rafael (who used up a human vessel and left him pretty much a vegetable. Guy's now a vegevessel.) Dean takes Cass to interview a partially deaf sherrif who witnessed the angel smiting demons (even though the sheriff didn't realize that's what he saw). Dean was being his usual slick "Federal Agent So and So" self while Castiel was more like--as my husband put it--Rainman, not being able to wrap his mind around this whole "humans lie" concept.
Over in Sam world, a cute blond girl is falling for the mysterious brooding barback and challenges him to darts. If she wins, he has to tell his life story. No sooner has he kicked her butt while barely glancing at the dartboard than we get a local news report that the weather has gone all apocalypse nowish with freak storms. (And where I live, we had major rains and scary flooding earlier in the week, so quickly moving on...)
Sam calls Bobby, who kicks metaphorical butt even from his chair. When Sam wants Bobby to send a Hunter to investigate the end-times phenomena, Bobby ponders, "Well let me think who's the best hunter I know in the area. Oh, wait, that'd be YOU." Sam hangs up on him but a later scene shows three Hunters who blow his cover by showing up at the bar and calling him "Sam." (At which point, I totally said to my husband, you know at least one of these guys is going to die, now that Sam has refused to help them, adding to his overall guilt and Sideburns of Angst.)
Back to the Dean and Castiel show. Cass is fairly certain that while Dean (as Michael's vessel) might be safe, Rafael (aka the "teenage mutant ninja angel") is totally going to kick Cass ass after the planned interrogation. In fact, Cass might stay dead this time, and Dean decides Cass should not die a virgin. He takes him to a BROTHEL, where Misha Collins did some hilariously fine acting by looking terrified of a hooker. Named Chastity. No sooner had Dean sent Cass and Chas down the hall than she shrieks and angry looking bouncers ensue. (Apparetly Castiel tried to assure her that her father abandoning her was not her fault, which freaked her right the hell out. Dean makes a tawdry joke, but because the writers of this show are in no way lazy, the whole abandoned father theme makes a poignant return a few scenes later.)
Dean and Cass, with a few great lines riffing off each other, finally manage to trap rafael, who proclaims God is dead. (Who is this guy, Nietzsche?) Y'all, the whole There Is No God thing is starting to annoy me. My own personal beliefs aside, it lends SUCH an imbalance to the show. We have bad guys everywhere--including Team Angel--but other than Bobby, Cass (who Rafael actually thinks LUCIFER might have brought back to keep the angels fighting amongst themselves) and brothers we-inadvertently-started-the-endtimes Winchster, precious few good guys. Of course, even the question of God's absence results in a great scene, so no more whining from Tanya.
Samland: Sam has bonded with the cute blonde at the bar (who turns out to be a recovering alcoholic who recognizes a fellow addict) when suddenly the hunters return. Pissed. Because one of them was gutted and because the demon they captured said a lot about Sam, which they took seriously and not well. They force him to drink demon blood, hoping he'll go "hulk" and kill the rest of the demons. They threaten to kill Lindsay (aforementioned cute blonde) to make Sam do their bidding. He awesomely spits demon blood in their faces and kicks their collective butts before ordering them out of town.
Cass and Dean in car, fleeing angrily trapped archangel. Dean encourages Cass to "keep looking" for God because "I know a little something about fathers who disappear." It was an awesome exchange and also heart-breaking because John really did a number on his kids, especially the oldest (sorry, JDM, but you know it's true.) Furthermore, looking after Sam has ALSO done a number on Dean and he exposits that he's actually, unbelievably, much happier alone. At which point in the conversation Castiel disappears.
And I am both understanding and sad. I DO see how it would wear on Dean. Yet I cannot wait to see the brothers again in the same scene, not at odds with each other as they were for much of season four.
Flash to Sam waking in hotel room...not alone. This time his conversation with "Jess" is clearly more sinister as she encourages him to "abandon hope" and fades into Mark Pellegrino's Lucifer. My husband and I debated whether this was a dream sequence but Lou won the debate for me when he tells Sam, "you're hard to find. I don't suppose you'd tell me where you are?" So apparently he hasn't yet physically located him but can still reach out to him through his dreams. You see he's seeking Sam because Sam is--and it dawned on me bare moments before Lou said it--HIS VESSEL.
Which, you know, of course is awful, but damn! The writers set Dean up as Michael's vessel and Sam up as Lucifer's. Wow. Nicely done. (Although of course horrible and depressing and completely contrary to what Kripke said about this being a more "optimistic" season in which the brothers became "closer." To what? Annihilating each other?)
And did y'all SEE the previews for next week??????
Overall, even though I was expecting to balk more at the separated Winchesters (usually my least favorite eps) I thought the writers did really well with this one. What about you guys? Favorite/least favorite moments?

Wood always a fan favorite at Wrigley
Wood always a fan favorite at Wrigley
"He's so good, he's so good," Bottcher recalls his grandmother saying about the right-hander.
Bottcher, from Marengo, Ill., eventually became a big fan of Wood's and was one of 34,937 fans on hand Friday afternoon at Wrigley Field for Wood's final Major League appearance.
Wood's Major League career came to a close with a strikeout of White Sox outfielder Dayan Viciedo, a fitting ending for a pitcher whose career was highlighted by the K. The Cubs right-hander entered Friday's eighth inning and started off Viciedo with a 96-mph fastball before striking him out two pitches later with a curveball in the dirt to complete his 14-year career.
Wood, 34, exited to a standing ovation from the Wrigley Field crowd, which chanted "Kerry, Kerry" as Wood tipped his cap on his way to the dugout.
After hugging teammates, Wood returned for a curtain call and doffed his cap once more to a crowd that had watched him grow from a flame-throwing 21-year-old to a veteran who decided to call it quits after struggling during the season's early going.
Bottcher attended Friday's game with his father, John, who had been fan of Wood's since the right-hander was a 21-year-old phenom. John Bottcher heard the news Friday morning about Wood potentially making his last appearance and had mixed emotions.
"At first I was skeptical. I couldn't believe it," John Bottcher said, wearing a Wood jersey. "Then the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. I know he'd like to retire as a Cub, and I'm sure it's probably best for him and his family."
Kris Hewitt, a Wauconda, Ill., resident, said Wood's 20-strikeout performance on May 6, 1998 -- in which Wood held the Astros to only one hit -- ranks among his favorite memories of the right-hander's career.
"You've heard [WGN Radio play-by-play announcer Pat Hughes] talk about it," Hewitt said. "That was a better-pitched game than some no-hitters or perfect games. He was electric."
Unlike others, Cubs fan David Biggs hadn't heard the news that Wood's final appearance was looming. He was surprised and said he had many great memories of the righty.
"The 20-strikeout game, the sick curveball," said Biggs, a Marango, Ill., resident wearing an away Wood jersey. "The guy was just incredible. That's all you can say."
He also was a player both teammates and fans admired.
"Just the way he steps on the mound, he's definitely a Cubs leader," Mike Bottcher said. "He's a role model, and through all the aches and pains, he still came out there."
It wasn't just what Wood did on the field that endeared him to Cubs fans like Hewitt. It also was what he did away from the park and how he handled himself. After battling arm injuries, Wood moved from the rotation to the bullpen in 2008. In 2011, after his stint in Cleveland and New York, he returned to Chicago and gave the Cubs a hometown discount.
"He's been good for baseball, good for the Cubs and good for Chicago," Hewitt said. "He's just a good guy."

We at the ODMafia purposefully NEVER question capitalism. We don't ask difficult questions about exploitation of the Third World and we frown on Marxist things like Fairtrade (because fairness and equity are likely works of communism or the devil).
We believe that CEO's should make 20 million a year. We also believe that when 2,000 factory workers are laid off because that same company that pays the CEO bajallions of dollars is hard up, and must do what they can to make a go in this tough world. We don't really care if the people at the bottom get paid a pittance and work 12 hrs a day, in some hot sweaty workshop.
We believe capitalism is fully, completely biblically endorsed. In fact to help the poor is the enable them. To speak out for workers who can't quite squeak out a living is pretty darn close to socialistic activities of unions. We don't believe in justice, because we know that the bible only speaks about personal / individualistic salvation. Remember anyone who emphasizes weightier issues (Matthew 23) such as justice, mercy and faithfulness are commie red letter Christians and should be ignored. We need to focus on triviality….because to us…they are the big things!
That is why we at ODMafia feel the need to speak up. Stop attacking capitalism. Stop sharing, and start climbing to the top!
PS Please hold this quote dear to your heart "Neither I nor capitalism needs to change. You guys are pretty pathetic." Jan Markell, Olive Tree Ministries

Padres promote prospect Sampson to Triple-A
SAN DIEGO -- The Padres have promoted 22-year-old pitching prospect Keyvius Sampson from Double-A San Antonio to Triple-A Tucson.
Sampson, ranked as the 16th-best prospect in the system by MLB.com, was 10-4 with a 2.26 ERA over 19 games (18 starts) with San Antonio. He allowed 74 hits in 103 1/3 innings, with 110 strikeouts.
Sampson, a fourth-round Draft pick in 2009, began the season with Tucson but struggled there, going 0-1 with an 8.04 ERA in four starts.
Sampson was dominant with the Missions, though, especially after he began using his slider more often and with greater success.
The Padres also sent outfielder Donavan Tate, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2009 Draft, to short-season Eugene of the Northwest League.
Tate has been working out at the team's temporary Spring Training facility in Arizona since June after missing Spring Training. Tate has battled injuries and substance abuse since he was signed and joined the organization.

Time Warp Direct 26
Start: Directly above and to the left of the campsite one can see a thin, leftwards tending crack which leads to a grassy ledge below a steep corner. Time Warp Direct climbs this.
P1 24: 20m Climb up easily to the base of the thin crack. Climb some technical moves up and left past pitons to a small break before another thin crack, then climb this thin crack straight up to stance at a grassy ledge.
P2 26: 30m Climb straight up the steep corner for 10m until one reaches the left end of a roof. Reach up and clip a piton, then traverse right a few meters and blast straight through the roof to get established on the face above. Climb directly right and up for about 8m to stance at a small ledge.
Here one can either abseil 50m straight down to the campsite or climb an easy pitch straight up and left to join with Time Warp.
FA: Hilton Davies and Guy Paterson-Jones (Feb 2012)

One of the neat things about Dota 2 is that you can download "Announcer Packs" that change the voice of the in-game announcer to any of a number of other characters.
This one may take the cake—Supergiant games has contributed a Bastion Announcer Pack to the game. I haven't used it, but it sounds like for $9.99, you can now have your Dota 2 game announced by Bastion's narrator Rucks. Which is amazing.

FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter
I would like to make it very clear, I am committed to the fight against racism and any type of discrimination in football and in society. I have been personally leading this battle against racism in football, which FIFA has been fighting against throughout the past years through campaigns in all of our competitions such as the "Say no to racism" campaign.
I also know that racism unfortunately continues to exist in football, and I have never denied this. I know that it is a big problem in society, and that it also affects sport. I strongly believe that we should continue to fight all together against racism on and off the field of play, in order to eradicate this plague.
I do not want to diminish the dimension of the problem of racism in society and in sport. I am committed to fighting this plague and kicking it out of football.
My comments have been misunderstood. What I wanted to express is that, as football players, during a match, you have "battles" with your opponents, and sometimes things are done which are wrong. But, normally, at the end of the match, you apologise to your opponent if you had a confrontation during the match, you shake hands, and when the game is over, it is over. Anyone who has played a football match, or a match in any sport, knows that this is the case.
Having said that, I want to stress again that I do not want to diminish the dimension of the problem of racism in society and in sport. I am committed to fighting this plague and kicking it out of football.

In my previous post about "javascript remoting using jquery tempaltes", we saw how we use remoting to easily render a salesforce style grid of accounts.
In this post, we will see how we can easily extend the same account grid example, to finally have following features
- A account search box, that allows user to search for accounts via name. (this search is powered by Javascript Remoting)
- Account records returned by Javascript remoting search are rendered into a salesforce style pageblocktable, this is done using jquery templates.
- Have editable PHONE field in the account grid. When user changes any phone number in this grid its updated back on the account record in salesforce (this update is powered by Javascript Remoting)
Where is the code ?Code for both Apex Controller and Visualforce page is available on snipplr.com. If you have any comments/concerns/queries please comment back here on this post.
Remoting in Action !
Searching for accounts

So, Javascript Remoting == ViewStateLess VisualForce ?It would be great if we can go 100% view stateless !!! but as of now, its not 100% possible to go view stateless on all fronts using Javascript Remoting.
The major reason I see is "locale specific formatting and validations". These validations are done super smartly and silently by visualforce tags like <apex:inputField …/>. So, you have to be careful, if you are going to deal with fields like Number, Currency and Date fields in visualforce.
But, that doesn't means we loose heart and can't do cool things, with HTML 5 "input" tag has gone much smarter then ever before i.e. supporting phone, email etc as type.

I think we've all heard the urban legends about pressure cookers. The one that always comes to my mind is the pressure cooker that exploded and permanently disfigured the cook before burning down her whole neighborhood and the city of Chicago. This may be an exaggeration, but at the very least thinking about pressure cookers usually gives most cooks a knot in their stomach.
Some time ago I went to a cooking class that was all about pressure cooking. For my own protection I took a seat as far away from the action as I could just in case the top decided to blow off and kill everyone in the room. The teacher stuffed the cooker with a beautiful piece of beef and an assortment of aromatic herbs and good red wine. He secured the lid, turned it on and let her rip for about an hour or so.
After the cooking time, he ran some cool water over the top to ease the pressure inside the cooker and gently loosened the lid (this is when I hit the deck). He then removed the meat and set it aside to rest while he prepared a silken mahogany colored sauce from the juices left in the bottom. The result of this fast and easy preparation was one of the best pot roasts I have ever eaten.
I was so impressed that on the way home I stopped and picked up my first pressure cooker. Since then I have made several delicious meals with it. If you live at a high altitude this is especially helpful for speeding up the cooking time of dried beans and tougher cuts of meat, but even if you live at sea level, this is just an incredible time saver for busy cooks.
Cooking with steam and pressure is nothing new. The "Steam Digester" was first developed in France in 1769. Inventor Denis Papin built this air-tight cooking vessel as a way to cook foods faster. By 1941 the modern Presto giggle top pressure cooker was present in almost every home in America. It held a place of importance until the 1980s when it was rivaled by the microwave as the king of speed cooking.
Between the invention of the microwave oven and tales of kitchen injuries, seasoned home cooks packed their pressure cookers away, and young cooks mostly turned their backs on these once loved kitchen helpers. I never even witnessed anyone using a pressure cooker until my cooking class a couple of years ago.
A few weeks ago I was asked by the folks at IMUSA, USA if they could send me one of their many products to review. I combed through their extensive website of cooking products, and it was really a hard decision, but I kept coming back to their electric digital pressure cooker. Although I already had a pressure cooker, this one looked to be light years ahead of mine with its sleek new design and multiple functions. I just couldn't resist it.
When the UPS man delivered my cooker a few days ago, I carefully unpacked the box, drinking in the intoxicating aroma of a new kitchen appliance. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this affordable unit (priced under $100) is not only a pressure cooker, but it also browns, steams and slow cooks. It has a roomy, non-stick interior cooking pot which is also removable for ease of cleaning. It comes complete with a cool touch exterior, a lid that snaps firmly and securely into place and a whisper quiet operation. And to top it all off, it is super easy to program, even for those of us who read instructions only as a last resort.
For my first dish in this new cooker I decided to make a family favorite, carne guisada which translates to "stewed meat" in Spanish. Most often made with inexpensive, tougher cuts of meat, it normally requires hours of cooking to break the meat down until it is fall apart tender.
After browning the meat and adding the Mexican herbs and spices, I programmed my cooker for 50 minutes on high pressure and left it alone to do its stuff. My result? A delicious and tender main course that was ready to eat in about an hour. This was so easy that I am already planning our next pressure cooker meal of corned beef and cabbage for St. Patrick's day.
Carne Guisada
2 pounds chuck roast, cut into 1" cubes
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 Poblano pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 medium size chopped chipotle pepper plus 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from the can
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 bay leaf
2 medium size Roma tomatoes, chopped
12 ounces beer (Dark beer if possible. Personally I love Shiner bock)
1 tablespoon beef bouillon granules
Toss the chuck roast and flour together; set aside.
Heat oil in the bottom of a pressure cooker set to brown or in a large stock pot set over medium high heat. Brown the meat on all sides; stir well. Add the onions and peppers and cook for another 5 minutes or so before adding the garlic and cooking for one minute longer. Sprinkle any flour leftover from dusting the meat over the top and stir well. Add the cumin, chipotle, cilantro, bay leaf, tomatoes, beer and bouillon; stir well and bring to a boil.
At this time if you are using a pressure cooker, turn the browning setting off. Cover the cooker with the lid making sure it is properly sealed. Set the pressure to the high setting and cook for 40 – 45 minutes. At higher altitudes, increase cooking time to 45 – 50 minutes.
For the conventional stove top method, cover with a tight fitting lid, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook (stirring occasionally) until the meat is fall apart tender, approximately 2 – 2 – 1/2 hours.
Serve in warm tortillas with your choice of avocado or guacamole, cilantro, sour cream, cheese or salsa.
After thoroughly reading the instructions, I seared my meat cubes in the pot set on the "Brown" setting.
I combined the meat, spices and liquid, closed the lid and set the timer.
In about an hour our Carne Guisada was ready to eat.
One of the best Carne Guisada tacos I've ever eaten. We like ours with avocado, corn salsa and maybe just a little bit of shredded cheese.

Try This: The reverse fly to bring back balance
Most people pay more attention to the muscles on the front of the body than the ones on the back, leaving them hunched and their shoulders prone to injury.
The reverse fly, demonstrated by celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak and featured on his "Harley's Hollywood Workout" video game, is a great way to balance your strength, giving you better definition and posture.
What it does
The exercise strengthens the rhomboid muscles in your upper back and rear deltoids in the backs of your shoulders.
What to do
Start by standing with your arms at your sides and feet apart. Push your hips back as you hinge forward, bringing your hands (with or without light weights) in front of your thighs.
Keeping your back in a straight line, extend your arms up and out to the sides in line with your shoulders with the palms facing in. Return to the starting position.
How much
Do 15 repetitions of the exercise, working up to three sets of 15.

I've been lucky enough to be very prolific in the past 10 years, and have a ton of very shit-hot tunes just sitting around, slowly making their way 'out'. My music is full of Lots of found sounds, lo-fi noises, and sloppy grooves. I like to think of my racks (which are almost always very short) as the sounds that live behind your fridge formed a band, and tried their hand at AM friendly 1960's pop. Maybe my music's not totally accessible, but it's definitely not listener-hostile.


text: Book – "What do you seek in these shelves?" What recently unemployed graphic designer Clay Jannon sought was employment. His quest was successful at Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore; a place with bookshelves and ladders extending up three stories, and a collection of curious books that are never bought, but are "checked-out" by eccentric individuals. Clay calls upon his friends to assist him with investigating mysteries which extend far beyond the walls of the enigmatic store. This thought-provoking tale includes puzzles that revolve around technology as antiquated as the printing press and as cutting edge as Google wizardry. The humorous writing and optimistic tone make this novel a rejuvenating read. Appropriately, this book offers a surprise if the reader turns out the light. The audiobook does not offer that perk, but the narrator Ari Filakos delivers the likable Clay's inner monologues and quirky humor so well that I went back and listened to some key sections to hear his moving delivery of them.

Brown surprised Slipper was promoted
RETIRING Greens Senator Bob Brown said he was not consulted prior to Peter Slipper being promoted to the role of Speaker of Federal Parliament.
Senator Brown, who struck a deal after the 2010 election that helped Prime Minister Julia Gillard form a minority government, told ABC program Qanda on Monday he was "surprised" upon learning Mr Slipper had been elevated to the role in November.
And he hinted that had he been consulted he would have cautioned Ms Gillard against the shock move.
"I wouldn't have made that choice, but she (Ms Gillard) did," said Senator Brown, who will retire from the Senate in June.
Mr Slipper, a former Liberal MP, stood down as Speaker on Sunday amid allegations he misused taxpayer-funded Cabcharge dockets.
He also stands accused of sexually harassing former staff member James Ashby, details of which were revealed in documents lodged with the Federal Court of Australia on Friday.
Senator Brown said the fact numbers in the Parliament were so tight meant Mr Slipper's alleged behaviour was attracting more attention than it might under normal circumstances.
"I've had two fellow senators from the Coalition who have been convicted of various minor ... matters in the last 12 months and we've heard nothing about it, almost," Senator Brown said.
"The closer one gets to being able to exercise power, which brings in government or drops them out, the bigger the concentration on that person."
Expanding on this point, Senator Brown urged Opposition leader Tony Abbott, who has been relentless in his calls this week for Mr Slipper to stand down as Speaker, to "take on" the churches over allegations of child abuse.
"If you're going to pursue somebody who's got claims against him by a 33-year-old male, how about pursuing the people in churches ... who have done the wrong thing by 13-year-old males and females. How about having them suspended," Senator Brown said.
Senator Brown said he believed Labor supported Mr Slipper's ascension to Speaker to protect its numbers in the House of Representatives, and not because it wanted to walk away from its deal with independent MP Andrew Wilkie to introduce poker machine reform.
"I think they were giving themselves one-seat insurance," Senator Brown said.
"And now without Mr Slipper there they've still got the ability to get legislation through Parliament, but they're back to the very close arrangement that they had before."

Sebastian Junger on PTSD: 'It's coming home that's actually the trauma'
We might think we have a basic understanding of post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD: Soldiers in battle see things they'd like to forget, but years later combat memories come back to haunt them. That's the received wisdom. But perhaps we have it all wrong. Maybe it's not the reminders of the fighting that cause post-traumatic stress so much as the void ex-combatants face when they leave the community of soldiers behind.

(The Root) — President Barack Obama got the switch from Mitt Romney, who, until their encounter at last night's debate, had baited his hook as a conservative during 23 primary debates with GOP opponents campaigning to his right and under the swoon of the Tea Party.
Working mightily during the primary to obscure his moderate record as the 70th governor of Massachusetts, Romney several times touted the line, "I've spent my entire career in the private sector."
Debating the moderate president he seeks to replace, however, Gov. Romney boldly discussed his lone public-sector job. And while GOP opponents had driven him into defilade by bringing up his "mandated health care" in Massachusetts, President Obama found him aggressive on the subject — expansive, even.
"The best course for health care is to do what we did in my state," Romney volunteered. "Craft a plan at the state level that fits the needs of the state … then focus on getting the costs down for people." Hesitant all night in engaging his opponent, Obama reminded us that his Affordable Care Act — which, if elected, Romney promises to dismantle — is essentially the one Romney had just bragged about.
"The irony is that we've seen ['Obamacare'] work really well in Massachusetts, because Governor Romney did a good thing, working with Democrats in the state to set up what is essentially the identical model, and as a consequence people are covered there. It hasn't destroyed jobs. And as a consequence, we now have a system in which we have the opportunity to start bringing down costs, as opposed to just leaving millions of people out in the cold," the president said.
"I like the way we did it in Massachusetts," Romney boasted, in a manner that he didn't dare risk in the presence, say, of Newt Gingrich during the GOP primaries.
After quibbling about a federal health care board and the president's inability to get Republicans' support, Romney then cherry-picked two nonconservative aspects of "Obamacare" that he would preserve: retention of adult offspring on their parents' insurance policies and coverage for pre-existing conditions — both key aspects of Obama's plan.
What unfolded before our very eyes onstage at Denver's Magness Arena last night was a retrofitted Mitt Romney freed of all but the carry-on baggage of the hard-eyed, Tea Party-dominated Republican Party. He held to shuttering PBS and giving Big Bird a pink slip: "I'm gonna stop the subsidy to PBS," he told moderator Jim Lehrer — of PBS. "I like Big Bird. I actually like you, too," he added, offering a glimpse of the Bain Capital executive who "likes being able to fire people."
However, unlike the Republican he portrayed in the primaries, Romney swung uncharacteristically straight at Wall Street. "Regulation is essential," he said in terms that might rattle his running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan (D-Wis.), and the Tea Party. "You can't have a free market work if you don't have regulations."
This bait and switch performance was signaled in March by Romney's key strategist Eric Fehrnstrom when CNN asked whether his candidate's hard-core conservative positions taken during the primary would hurt him with moderates in the campaign against Obama.
"Well, I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign," Fehrnstrom said. "Everything changes. It's almost like an Etch A Sketch. You can kind of shake it up and we start all over again." That shaking you heard from the University of Denver campus last night was the sound of the Romney Etch A Sketch.
This scheme had been the initial GOP plan of those who considered the moderate Romney to be the best matchup with Obama. Poleaxing Romney into submission during the primary, however, his GOP opponents virtually silenced him on his record as Massachusetts governor. And in a brilliant campaign of summer attack ads, Team Obama took away his "vulture" years at Bain Capital as a viable campaign issue.
Consequently, naked as a cock robin after winning the GOP nomination, Romney made the desperate Hail Mary move once considered unthinkable: he named tea-bagger Paul Ryan as his running mate. Such virtuosity comes naturally to a missionary like Romney, who spent all those years of field service grappling with recalcitrant, heathen opposition.
The big question before the first of three presidential debates last night was whether Romney would stick with the hard-right, Paul Ryan-conservative posture or reach for the Etch A Sketch. Seemingly caught off guard initially, President Obama recovered upon perceiving Romney moonwalking away from his previously vaunted plan for the rich: "I'm not looking for a $5 trillion tax cut," Romney said last night.
"Now," a frustrated Obama uttered, "he is saying that his big, bold idea is 'never mind.' "
This zinger came during a sluggish, though substantive, night for the president, as a reading of the script, as opposed to a TV viewing, will indicate. After a few deft wobbles by Romney, Obama caught on to the bait and switch. The key question now, and for the remaining 33 days of the campaign, is whether the American voters will accept the Etch A Sketch image of 65-year-old Willard Mitt Romney.
Stay tuned.

Article content
If you were Mickey Mouse, where would you go on vacation?
With some of the world's top theme-parks, cruise ships and hotels to choose from, the decision could be difficult. But perhaps, if you were Mickey, you might want to go somewhere different. Somewhere more laid-back. Somewhere really special.
Enter Aulani: A Disney Resort and Spa on the Hawaiian island of Oahu -- the only planet in the Disney universe where the Disney name takes second billing -- by design. And that says a lot about the 8.5-hectare beach resort.
At Aulani, Hawaiian culture, history and traditions are the stars. These are on show -- in myriad ways big and small -- throughout the property.
"Aulani is about Hawaii first and Disney second," says Manako Tanaka, one of three "cultural greeters" who provide guests with "a window onto Hawaiian culture."
Sure there are photo ops and breakfasts with Disney characters, Mickey-shaped waffles and hidden Mickeys, but there are also hidden Menehunes (mischievous little island people), wandering local artisans, shave-ice stands, a Starlit Hui, fireside storytelling, a kids' club called Aunty's Beach House and Hawaii-themed spas for grown-ups and teens.
Opened in 2011 -- and recently expanded -- the centre of the resort (called the Waikolohe Valley) is essentially a lushly landscaped water- play zone with a couple of kick-butt water-slides -- the Volcanic Vertical and the Tubestone Curl -- a winding lazy river, the new Keiki Cove splash-pad for little guests, the Menehune Bridge interactive play area, and swimming pools, including a tranquil new adults-only pool.
At the ocean's edge, is a beautiful protected beach, a new infinity pool with underwater sound effects (dolphin and whale calls), and the North Shore Beach Zone, which evokes the spirit of Oahu's fabled surf mecca.
And at every opportunity, whether paddleboarding, surfing or snorkelling amid hundreds of colourful fish in the man-made Rainbow Reef, kids -- and their parents -- have fun and learn something real about the destination.
Like every Disney destination, Aulani is infused with the company's trademark attention to detail, top-notch service and enough things to do to make your head spin. And while it is not a budget resort, many activities -- more than any other resort I know of -- are complimentary for guests, including the kids' club which only charges a small fee for food. Here are a few examples of things that exceeded my expectations during a visit earlier this year:
The Disney Imagineers -- the creative geniuses who make the magic happen -- worked with Hawaiians to tell the story of island culture.
The tale starts at check-in at the beautiful open air Maka'ala lobby -- a soaring great hall that looks out to the mountains and the sea, and is decorated with a 60-metre-long mural on Hawaiian life painted by a local artist.
"We didn't come in to create new fantasies about Disney," Todd Apo, the company's public affairs director says. "We took what existed and found new ways to tell the story through architecture, programs and activities."
The resort also showcases the world's largest collection of contemporary Hawaiian art and there is a free art tour for adult guests.
With family entertainment being Disney's forte, it's hardly surprising that there is a fabulous family show. Several nights each week, the whole ohana (family) is invited to gather on the Halawai Lawn for the Starlit Hui -- an extravaganza of major proportions with storytelling, plus song and dance under the stars. Go early to suss out a good spot near the stage to spread a lauhala (a woven mat provided to guests) and take in some lessons in modern hula, local games and artisans who demonstrate crafts such as lei-making and weaving. If the kids can keep their eyes open, stay afterward for a high-energy dance party with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and the gang.
A visit to Laniwai Spa is a nod to its name, which means "freshwater heaven."
Upon arrival, patrons select a smooth stone with a word printed on it that becomes their "word for the day," says Lucia Amasio, the spa director. Then to the sound of raindrops, you traverse a softly lit "hall of transformation" to a beautiful reflecting pool, where you are asked to contemplate the stone's message before "releasing" it into the water.
"In Hawaiian, there are 50 different words for rain," Amasio says. "Rain is celebrated ... like a gift."
Further relaxation comes in the outdoor Kula Wai hydrotherapy garden. Guests select a scent, then stop at the mixology station and blend a personalized scrub to use in the shower before soaking in mineral pools and under jetted rain-showers.
Nearly 150 treatments are on offer, including treatments for the whole family and some designed for men. I chose Laniwai's signature treatment -- a traditional Hawaiian massage called Lomilomi with a "sticks and stones" option. (I was a little apprehensive about what "sticks and stones" might entail but my concerns were unfounded. It was so relaxing I almost fell asleep.)
The fish tacos at the Ama Ama restaurant at Disney's Aulani resort taste as good as they look. ROBIN ROBINSON/Toronto Sun
Afterward -- there is more relaxation -- in one of several beautiful lounges, where you can sip flavoured tea or cool water infused with pineapple and lemongrass, and nibble on delicate zuchini-carrot muffins.
Adjacent to Laniwai is Painted Sky, a spa and social space for teens (13-17) with age-appropriate treatments (massages, facials, manicures and pedicures), a yogurt bar, computers, a mixology station for making DIY body polishes and face masks, and teen-only events.
While Aulani is primarily a family resort, I did meet lots of couples who were there without children. Some were Disney Vacation Club Members who joined when their kids were young and continue to visit Disney resorts now that the kids have grown up. Others just appreciate the Disney treatment.
Gordon Chow, guest services manager for the Olele Room and other restaurants, says he is also seeing an increased number of Canadians from as far away as Yellowknife and Whitehorse.
Chow -- who weathered his share of Canadian winters while growing up in Scarborough -- can understand the attraction. While he has the Toronto Sun app on his cell phone and "still bleeds blue and white," he doesn't really miss winter, although he does still play hockey.
And while he's not Hawaiian, like other Olele Room staff, he can speak the language.
The bar-lounge is decorated with Hawaiian words, and staffers are more than happy to help guests learn a few sayings or work on their pronunciation of tricky words, Chow says. They will also explain about Hawaiian accents, including the 'Okina, which looks like a backwards apostrophe but signifies a glottal stop.
In addition to the language-coaching, the Olele Room serves island-inspired appetizers -- ahi poke, kalua pork nachos with taro chips, kobe sliders and the like -- Hawaiian beers and cocktails with a twist. These include the bar's signature Mai Tai, made from white and dark rum, orange curacao, orgeat, pineapple and citrus juices, and topped with an ultra-thin slice of pineapple and liliko'i (passionfruit) foam.
After a few of these, Chow guarantees guests will be able to say "humuhumunukunukuapua'a" like a native Hawaiian speaker.
Chow tipped me off to Paradise Cove -- a shallow lagoon a short walk north of the resort. Go in the mid to late morning and you might be lucky enough to see green sea turtles swimming around in the crystal clear waters.
While photographing the turtles -- including Lucky, a regular lagoon visitor who is missing one flipper -- I heard people behind me oohing and ahhing. Looking up and out to sea, I saw a group of whales putting on a dramatic show -- breaching over and over again -- to the delight of spectators on the beach.
Aulani has both hotel rooms and Disney Vacation Club condo "villas." I stayed in a beautifully furnished one-bedroom with a spacious living-dining area with sleeper sofa, fully equipped kitchen, lux bathroom, laundry facilities and balcony. The development is part of Oahu's Ko Olina resort area about 24 km from Honolulu. For information, including details on current offers, see disneyaulani.com.
WestJet flies nonstop to Honolulu from Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver and Victoria with connections from many Canadian cities. See westjet.com.
A small mall across the street has an Island Country Market that sells wine, beer, groceries, Hawaiian specialities such as gourmet Spam and other essentials, plus a handful of shops and restaurants, including the popular MonkeyPod Kitchen.

Minnesota Drought Situation Report - July 26, 2007
(July 24 report modified for recent changes in U. S. Drought Monitor)
|Drought Monitor - July 24, 2007
Drought Status
The latest U. S. Drought Monitor (see map at right) places portions of northeastern, central, east central, south central, and southwestern Minnesota in the Severe Drought category. With the exception of west central and northwestern counties, the remainder of Minnesota is classified as experiencing a Moderate Drought or depicted as being Abnormally Dry. The drought situation in the northern one third of Minnesota is the result of the lingering impacts of a very dry 2006, and a snow-sparse 2006-2007 winter. The drought situation in the southern two thirds of Minnesota is due to a dry 2007 growing season. The U. S. Drought Monitor index is a blend of science and subjectivity where intensity categories are based on several indicators.
Last week's weather:
Precipitation last week was generally light across Minnesota (see map below). Most locations in the state received less than a quarter inch of rain for the seven-day period ending Monday morning, July 23. Significant rainfall was reported in just a few areas. Many locations along the southern tier of Minnesota counties received one to two inches of rain for the week. Heavier rainfall totals were also reported to the south and east of Bemidji, in portions of southern St. Louis County, and along a narrow band through the heart of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Weekly temperatures were near the long-term mean last week. Historically, the last two weeks of July and the first week of August are the warmest of the summer.
Seasonal weather overview:
Dryness has been entrenched across much of the southern two thirds of Minnesota for much of May, June, and July. The timing of the dry weather is unfortunate. The period from May through September is historically the wettest time of the year in Minnesota. Long-term average rainfall rates during this time interval are around one inch per week. Very dry weather, occurring during a time of year when ample rain is typical, leads to the rapid intensification of drought. The lack of precipitation, along with very high evaporation rates during a warm June, has led to deteriorating crop conditions, lower stream flows and lake levels, and increased wildfire danger.
Seasonal precipitation totals, departure, and ranking:
Rainfall totals since April 1 are less than eight inches across much of the southern one half of Minnesota (see map below). Growing season rainfall totals have deviated negatively from historical averages by more than four inches across many central, east central, southwestern, and south central Minnesota counties (see map below). This is roughly the equivalent of missing all of June's rainfall. Seasonal rainfall deficits exceeding five inches are reported along a band extending from the metropolitan area through Mankato and southwestward into Fairmont. Five-inch deficits are also reported in central Minnesota, and in portions of southwestern Minnesota. When compared with other seasonal rainfall totals-to-date in the historical database, this year's rainfall totals for the season rank below the 20th percentile (one year in five) across much of southern Minnesota (see map below).

Tiger Wheel & Tyre was an early adopter of virtualization. In 2007, the IT team decided that virtualization would be the ideal facilitator for two important components of its business: daily operations and research and development. Team members worked with three IT consultants on various aspects of their virtualization project over the next few years: Cornastone Enterprise Systems, Datacentrix and Dimension Data.
By 2010, 100% of the company's IT environment was virtualized on VMware vSphere; however, the team was frustrated with the time it took to recover virtual machines (VMs) from tape. Melody Fourie, the company's Group IT Executive, said the process could take days, and that kind of downtime could cost the company millions in lost revenue.
It's no longer good enough to say 'we're backing up our VMs.' Instead, we have to be confident we can restore multiple VMs in minutes — certainly not days," Fourie said. "We considered several backup products, including a couple of online options, but discovered they weren't robust enough. Obviously, we wanted speed and reliability in a VM backup solution, but we also wanted something that would help us get the absolute most from our virtual environment."
Tiger Wheel & Tyre chose Veeam Backup & Replication™ to achieve these objectives. Veeam provides fast, flexible and reliable recovery of virtualized applications and data for VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V.
"Virtualization is like the Superman of technology," Fourie said. "And Veeam is at the heart of virtualization. We're a VMware shop through and through, but we can't be successful without reliable data protection. Veeam lets us do more with our VM backups than we thought possible."
Veeam's pledge is virtualization-powered data protection. Veeam's vPower® technology runs a VM directly from a compressed and deduplicated backup file on regular backup storage. Administrators can start a VM from a backup in their production environment or in an isolated Virtual Lab that Veeam automatically creates and manages for them. vPower enables several industry firsts, such as Instant VM Recovery, which lets users restore a VM from a backup in two minutes or less.
"Veeam is a game-changer," Fourie said. "Imagine moving from painfully slow VM backup and recovery to insanely fast speeds. With Veeam we can restore a server, on average, in less than 10 seconds. It's science fiction come true. If you could recover a server in seconds, why would you suffer through products that take days?"
In addition to Instant VM Recovery, Fourie and her colleagues use Veeam's On- Demand Sandbox, which lets them run a VM from any restore point (full or incremental) in a Virtual Lab for testing and troubleshooting.
"Veeam's Virtual Lab is perfect for our research and development," she explained. "When we want to test something new in the business, we run a VM from a backup in the sandbox and have a live test environment ready to rock in 30 seconds. People don't realize how much they can get from their backups."
"Insanely fast" VM backup and recovery
Now that the IT team at Tiger Wheel & Tyre uses Veeam Backup & Replication, VM backup is 10 times faster than the previous backup solution, and VM recovery is 100 times faster, taking the team less than 15 minutes to restore all businesscritical servers and less than five hours to restore the entire data center. Backup files also require less space (250 GB before Veeam and 25 GB with Veeam) because of Veeam's built-in deduplication and compression. "If you're virtualizing your environment and you're not thinking of Veeam, think again," Fourie said.
No break in business continuity
Veeam's Instant VM Recovery lets the IT staff restore a VM in minutes, helping it meet aggressive recovery time objectives (RTOs). Recovery point objectives (RPOs) are easy for the team to meet, as well, with Veeam's fast incremental replication. "We can recover our business systems in seconds," Fourie said. "Every IT director should know about Veeam."
Virtual Lab supports research and development
Veeam lets Fourie and the IT team do more with their VM backups than they thought possible. "Setting up a research and development environment can takes weeks with physical servers, but it's totally different in the virtual world," Fourie said. "With Veeam's On-Demand Sandbox, our Virtual Lab is ready to go in 30 seconds. Now that's amazing."
"The VMworld awards are yet another testimony to working with great solutions, vendors and partners. Early on we recognized virtualization as being the technology of the future, so we became early adopters. The wave is here, and this award confirms that we were onto something big. Our virtualization journey is getting really exciting, and we cannot wait to embrace the 'next big thing'!"
Founded in 1967 in a backyard in Johannesburg, Tiger Wheel & Tyre has become one of the largest wheel and tyre suppliers in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Mozambique. The company's 77 stores also provide wheel alignment, balance and rotation; puncture assessment and repairs; nitrogen fill-ups; wheel locks and insurance.

Santana feels support after slump-busting homer
ANAHEIM -- After launching a three-run home run against the Angels in the fourth inning Monday night, Carlos Santana received a warm welcome from his teammates in the visitors' dugout. Santana has been appreciative of all the support he has received throughout his April slump.
"They were happy. They give me support all the time," Santana said. "These are my teammates. This is a family. They give me support after I got the hit here. I've had bad moments, but they were happy. They know I can hit and I can help the team."
Santana's teammates were disappointed that his great personal moment came within a 6-3 loss in the opener of this three-game series. The three-run shot off Tyler Skaggs gave Cleveland a 3-1 lead, but the Angels scored five unanswered runs off Tribe righty Justin Masterson to deal the Indians the loss.
"I was hoping we could be victorious," Masterson said, "so we could do nothing but talk about Santana and how great he did right there. That was big. He's been struggling a little bit. To be able to do that, it was big time. Unfortunately, with the loss, it kind of overshadows how good that could've been.
"Hopefully that'll keep him going on a streak over the next few days and few weeks."
The home run snapped an 0-for-12 slump for Santana, who finished 2-for-4 for his first two-hit showing since April 6 against the Twins. Heading into Monday's game, the third baseman had hit just .052 (3-for-58) in his previous 16 games. The three RBIs he collected against the Angels were as many as Santana had in his previous 23 games combined.
On the season, the switch-hitting Santana has hit .140 with two home runs, six RBIs and 21 walks in 25 games for Cleveland.
Through it all, Indians manager Terry Francona has kept Santana in the cleanup spot.
That has meant a lot to Santana.
"Tito supports me and gives me confidence," Santana said. "He hasn't changed anything with me. I feel great. Tito is a good manager. He has experience and he knows what kind of players that he has. I feel so great, because Tito supports me and he gives me energy day by day."

http://mmajunkie.com A rematch between welterweight champion Marius Zaromskis (14-6 MMA, 5-0 DREAM) and Hayato Sakurai (35-12-2 MMA, 4-4 DREAM) has been added to next month's "DREAM: Japan GP Final" event, officials today announced.
The fight is slated as a non-title affair.
"DREAM: Japan GP Final" is set for July 16 at Ariake Coliseum in Tokyo.
No North American broadcast plans have been announced for the event (officially dubbed "Fight for Japan: DREAM Japan GP Final – 2011 Bantamweight Japan Tournament Final").
Zaromskis and Sakurai first fought back in 2009, when Zaromskis scored a head-kick-KO victory in the semifinal round of DREAM's welterweight grand prix. The Lithuanian went on to win the tournament to become the organization's first-ever welterweight champion.
While stuck in a 1-3 skid, Zaromskis remains undefeated in DREAM. In fact, his only victory in his past five fights came via TKO over Kazushi Sakuraba at "DREAM Dynamite!! 2010" in his first and only title defense. Recently, though, he suffered a unanimous-decision loss to top Canadian prospect Jordan Mein at theScore Fighting Series event earlier this month in Canada.
The once highly ranked Sakurai looks to snap out of a career-worst four-fight losing streak, which has included defeats to Zaromskis, Akihiro Gono, Nick Diaz and Jason High. Prior to the setbacks, the PRIDE veteran posted eight wins in nine fights, which included a 4-0 start to his DREAM career.
For the latest on ""DREAM: Japan GP Final," stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of the site.

Entrust's Software Authentication Platform Transforms Smartphones into Multipurpose Digital Identities for Secure Physical, Logical and Cloud Access
25 Oct, 2012, 13:00 BST
-- Entrust IdentityGuard delivers mobile smart credentials, capitalizes on BYOD momentum by leveraging Bluetooth and NFC technology on Apple iOS, Google Android and RIM BlackBerry devices
DALLAS, Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- To enable organizations to secure and leverage mobile devices in the wake of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trends, Entrust extends its comprehensive identity-based security platform with Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile Smart Credentials. Available for the Apple iOS, Google Android and RIM BlackBerry mobile platforms, Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile Smart Credentials transform mobile devices into multipurpose digital identities for authenticated access to logical networks, cloud applications, physical facilities and building entrances.
"Entrust launched its mobile platform more than three years ago and we continue to innovate with practical capabilities that secure and leverage mobile devices across the enterprise," said Entrust President and CEO Bill Conner. "This technology helps organizations transform mobile devices into strong, multipurpose authenticators for physical, logical and cloud access while driving down the total cost of ownership as part of bring-your-own-device initiatives."
The Entrust Mobile Smart Credential is core to Entrust's broad mobile security portfolio that both secures and leverages the mobile enterprise. This layered, two-pronged approach helps secure mobile identities through the use of device certificates, mobile device management (MDM) integration, as well as transparent monitoring and authentication.
Complimenting those capabilities, Entrust's mobile innovation also helps organizations leverage mobile devices for strong, easy-to-use authentication, which includes two-factor authentication, out-of-band transaction confirmation, mobile smart credentials and future authenticator technology (e.g., biometrics, GPS).
Secure, Easy to Use and Always on Hand
Entrust IdentityGuard enables organizations to leverage everyday smartphones to easily authenticate identities for physical, logical and cloud-based resources, as well as digitally signing data. By taking advantage of near-field communication (NFC) and Bluetooth standards, Entrust embeds digital certificates on smartphones to create trusted identity credentials for stronger, more convenient enterprise authentication.
"Mobile smart credentials offer the value of smartcard authentication while simplifying security for end-users and streamlining the provision process," said Conner. "Easy-to-use mobile credentials help improve security with embedded technology such a location-based tracking, Bluetooth, NFC, and biometrics capture and provide an out-of-band channel that's critical to defeat malware-based attacks within the enterprises."
The mobile platform not only simplifies authentication for end-users, but also helps organizations reduce costs by eliminating the need for dedicated authentication hardware such as tokens, smartcards and smartcard readers.
Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile Smart Credentials augment security and user convenience by leveraging Bluetooth to automatically detect and connect to workstations — simply by prompting users to enter a PIN. And once a user leaves the proximity of their machine, Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile Smart Credentials can automatically lock the user session, ensuring logical access to the desktop is secured at all times.
Growing Trust in Mobile Devices
As leading technology organizations — Google and Apple, for example — focus on consumer-driven use for mobile devices (e.g., mobile wallets and payments vehicles), Entrust parallels this mobile innovation with a focus on empowering enterprises with solutions that leverage the mobile platform to address the need for stronger, more simple identity-based security. The ubiquity of mobile devices, as well as the growth of BYOD initiatives, allows enterprises to concurrently strengthen security, increase user adoption and greatly reduce costs.
"Entrust is helping transform smartphones — devices end-users are already comfortable with, trust and always have on hand — into enterprise-grade authenticators," said Conner. "The familiarity that users gain on the consumer side is directly benefiting the trust and understanding needed for wide-spread enterprise use. The parallel mobile movements are working together to help usher in great new standards in security, communication and transactions."
Enterprise-Wide — A Comprehensive Identity-Based Security Platform
While harnessing the power of existing end-user devices as authenticators for physical, logical and cloud application access provides clear value, Entrust's comprehensive authentication platform also integrates with existing IT systems and business processes for unmatched deployment versatility.
With the flexibility to be co-deployed alongside outgoing legacy systems, Entrust's comprehensive software authentication platform bridges emerging technologies for strong mobility, cloud and smart credentialing offerings.
Entrust's flagship authentication solution, Entrust IdentityGuard, continues to lead the industry as one of the most robust software authentication platforms, delivering an unmatched breadth of capabilities and flexibility to meet the most demanding security environments.
The solution enables organizations to layer security — according to access requirements or the risk of a given transaction — across diverse users and applications. Entrust's diverse set of authentication capabilities include smartcards and USB tokens, soft tokens, grid cards and eGrids, IP-geolocation, questions and answers, mobile smart credentials, out-of-band one-time passcode (delivered via voice, SMS or email), out-of-band transaction verification and a range of one-time-passcode tokens.
