Companies still unprepared for cyber attacks, says Deloitte
Mobile and bring your own device (BYOD) were also cited as challenges to IT security teams
By Hamish Barwick | IDG News Service | Published 09:15, 18 February 13
Many enterprises around the world think they are prepared for cyber attacks but the reality is that any organisation is at risk of a security breach, global advisory firm Deloitte has warned.
Deloitte released the results from its sixth annual global Cyber Security Survey which was conducted with 121 technology, media and telecommunications companies. Fifteen per cent of the participants were from the Asia Pacific region.
The survey found that 88 per cent of executives who took part did not see their company as vulnerable. In addition, 60 per cent of participants rated their ability to respond to newly developed threats as either average or high.
According to Deloitte technology risk leader Dean Kingsley, this attitude needed to change as most passwords can be cracked in five hours.
"Businesses need to assume a breach will happen and prepare accordingly by shifting from pure prevention to detection and response planning," he said in a statement.
"The goal is to create a resilient organisation that can bounce back quickly from attacks."
Despite the confident attitudes expressed by executives, the survey results also found that 59 per cent of participants had experienced a security breach in 2012 while 78 per cent cited breaches at third parties as one of their top three threats.
"Companies need to move beyond pure contractual arrangements with their suppliers and other third parties, such as government agencies, and be more willing to co-operate in order to reduce weak links," Kingsley said.
According to the survey, only 30 per cent of respondents believed that the third party organisations they work with are taking enough responsibility for cyber security.
Mobile and bring your own device (BYOD) were also cited as challenges to IT security teams with 74 per cent of executives ranking it as their second biggest risk. However, only 52 per cent said they had specific BYOD policies in place and 10 per cent did not address mobile security risks at all.
According to Deloitte Australia national security and resilience lead Tommy Viljoen, hacktivisim was referred to in the survey for the first time with 63 per cent rating it as a "major concern."
"This vulnerability to hacktivism reflects that cyber attacks can now come from anywhere, and be prompted by perceived controversial business practices and decisions, often highlighted through social media," he said.
"Recognising the threat of hacktivisim, organisations are starting to gather intelligence relating to it and other types of cyber crime incidents."
Over 50 per cent of executives stated that they collect general information about hacktivism while 40 per cent collect information about attacks specifically targeting their organisation, industry, brand or customers.

It seems clear now that Boeing will not announce a decision on a successor to the 737NG at this Paris Air Show. But even the extent to which it will deliver on its promise to provide more "clarity" about its deliberations remained something of a mystery as the salon was set to open.

At this year's Paris Air Show, Esterline CMC Electronics (Hall 5 Stand 242) is showing, for the first time, the Cockpit 9000 avionics suite selected as an upgrade for Lockheed Martin C-130 cockpits.
Both the Sikorsky X2 and the Eurocopter X3 have propellers and both are targeting higher cruise speeds; however, their respective designers have not been working to the same principles.
The X2 is effectively a semi-compound helicopter, having contra-rotating main rotors and one aft propeller, while the X3 is a true compound with a single main rotor, wing stubs and two side-mounted propellers.
Eurocopter has delivered what it hopes will prove to be the X-Factor to this year's Paris Air Show. The daily flying display this week features its new its X3 ("x cubed") compound helicopter demonstrator, a modified AS 365 Dauphin with a conventional main rotor, two propellers on wingstubs and a conventional empennage.
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) is showing off its latest precision-guided munition here at Le Bourget.
In defense terms, few would question the proposition that the state of Israel punches above its weight. And the same could well be said of its defense companies. Take Rafael, for example.
"I am running a boutique [defense company], we're not Northrop Grumman," Rafael's chairman Ilan Biran told AIN, pointing out that most of its activities are confined to research and development and low-rate-of-production programs.
Having been developed in some urgency, Rafael's Iron Dome dual-mission defense system is now operational, and in April an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) battery proved its worth for the first time when several Grad rockets were intercepted after launch from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel.
Alongside preparations for the re-engined A320neo, Airbus is continuing A320 product development, according to A320 family chief engineer Wolfgang Engler. Some 23 years after A320 MSN0005 pioneered the type's airline service with Air France, the manufacturer claims a 99.7-percent "operational reliability" for the most recently delivered 250 aircraft.
Airbus has already started to produce the first elements of the "sharklet" wingtips for incorporation on wings for standard A320 aircraft that are expected to enter service in about 18 months' time, during the fourth quarter of 2012. It also has begun to convert the original A320 (MSN 0001), including installation of flight-test instruments, to act as a test bed.
The Airbus A320neo (for "new engine option") is "the fastest selling aircraft in history" and the manufacturer set itself the target of accruing "over 500" commitments by this week's Paris Air Show, according to chief operating officer (customers) John Leahy. By early April, the company had booked more than 330 orders and "commitments" and this prompted it to accelerate the program by six months.

Topics: Insurance, Health Reform, Delivery of Care
By Amita Parashar
Nov 18, 2010
A new international survey finds that U.S. consumers report greater access to specialty health care but also have a tougher time seeing a doctor on the day they need help and in paying their medical bills than consumers in many other developed nations.
Americans visit doctors and specialists more readily than some other countries, such as Canada and France, according to the survey, which was conducted in 11 countries last spring for the Commonwealth Fund, a Washington-based health policy foundation. Eighty percent of Americans who needed to see a specialist were seen in less than four weeks, trailing the results in only Germany and Switzerland. In Canada, the number was 41 percent.
The survey, published online today in Health Affairs, also found that the United States fell behind seven other countries in both the percentage of adults who can see a doctor or nurse the same day they needed care – 57 percent of adults – and the percentage that had to wait six days or more to see a health care professional – 19 percent. Only Canada, Norway and Sweden did not score higher than the United States in those categories.
In addition, one in three American adults skipped a doctor visit, did not fill a prescription or get other care in the past year because it cost too much, according to the survey. More Americans skipped care because of cost than adults in any other of the countries surveyed.
Twenty percent of Americans said they had a serious problem paying their medical bills in the previous year, the highest percentage of any of the countries. Second was France, with 9 percent. A higher proportion of Americans also spent more than $1,000 out-of-pocket for health care and experienced problems with their health insurance, including disputes over bills.
The new health law will "go a long way" in reducing out-of-pocket and other health costs, Karen Davis, president of The Commonwealth Fund said in a conference call with reporters. "We'll have substantially reduced out-of-pocket costs as a result of the Affordable Care Act. There are subsidies for cost sharing, certainly for very low income families. But they'll still be high relative to what's happening in other countries."
The group has conducted other international surveys of health care.
But Robert Book, senior research fellow in health economics at the Heritage Foundation, cautioned against equating lower-cost coverage in countries outside the U.S. with better health. "If you have to wait for four weeks to get surgery, or four months to get surgery, that's not access. You can have coverage for everything but access to nothing," he said.
Book added that as the health law is implemented, patients could have more trouble getting care because of the influx of millions of newly insured people.
The telephone survey between March and June included more than 2,500 people in the United States and thousands of others in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The results have a margin of error of plus or minus 2 to 3 points, depending on the country.

Shadeism from Shadeism on Vimeo.
Shadeism, a documentary about discrimination and misrepresentation based on the how dark or light-skinned a person is. Absolutely worth watching. It's really well done.
"This documentary short is an introduction to the issue of shadeism, the discrimination that exists between the lighter-skinned and darker-skinned members of the same community. This documentary short looks specifically at how it affects young womyn within the African, Caribbean, and South Asian diasporas. Through the eyes and words of 5 young womyn and 1 little girl - all females of colour - the film takes us into the thoughts and experiences of each. Overall, 'Shadeism' explores where shadeism comes from, how it directly affects us as womyn of colour, and ultimately, begins to explore how we can move forward through dialogue and discussion."

Florence and the Selfie Generation
■ 28 October 2014 by James Martin
When I arrived in Florence a few days ago I immediately noticed people with their little cameras floating away from the photographer's outstretched arm by means of a flimsy bit of kit. One of many sellers of this amazing re-use of the antiquated car antenna is captured above. (The device you see is being mis-used as a tripod that would send your camera crashing to the ground in the slightest wisp of wind, but it's really designed to be a clever arm extension, trust me.)
You see, when God invented arms He made an obvious mistake. They were not long enough for a proper selfie. Women of questionable morals were often unable to compose a photo that would encompass all their charms. People in front of statues had to spend hours trying to cram their faces and a famous statue reproduction into the frame. Enter what I call the Selfie Helper. "You buy the smart phone, we make the camera and your arm work together correctly."
It's a lot like Hamburger Helper, isn't it? "Thy (camera) rod, like thy onion powder, they comfort thee."
This isn't the first time creation was found wanting. Ancient people found it necessary to extend their spear-tossing arms by use of the atlatyl. Look it up.
In any case, once I had noticed the Selfie Helper phenomenon, the rest of the excursion's conversation seemed to gravitate towards tourist cameras.
A Florence guide sipping the thick chocolate drink Florence is famous for lamented, "The superintendent decided to allow photography in the museums. So now, nobody listens. They're all clicking and beeping away while you talk into a vacuum."
But later on, as we dipped our cantucci into tiny glasses of vin santo in an overpriced cafe bordering the Piazza Repubica while being mesmerized by the constant flow of drunken students trying to stay on the bucking horses of the carousel the municipality had plunked down in the middle of the piazza, Author Susan Van Allen brought the social effects of the Selfie Helper into sharp focus.
"Yet another thing to disconnect us from the social ritual of handing our valuable camera to a total stranger in order that we might have a single, thus valuable, memento of our experience."
Yes, we are now complete. Free of the anxiety over the possibility that the stranger might run off with our prized possession—oh delicious terror!—we can pass the time of our vacation entirely isolated from the pasta-eaters and other tourists who surround us.
Good for us.

Do You Knead Bread?
■ 7 September 2014 by James Martin
Travel clogs your brain with all sorts of pernicious poppycock. You work it in there with all the truths and half truths you discover on your journey through life, and out comes a crusty deposit full of holes. Like bread.
On our last trip to Rome we stayed northwest of the Vatican, in the neighborhood called Aurelio. This happens to be the place where the current king of bread, a guy named Bonci, has a pizza joint. As a journalist, I had to try the pizza. After all, it was all the rage. The man was a saint, according to the lit. This fact, of course, made me want to ignore him. I am a contrarian. I immediately think of other things, hidden things, when confronted with anyone made godly by a ballooning cadre of sycophants. (After all, at the height of his power, Mussolini received about 1,500 letters a day from Italian men and women of all social classes praising his political prowess. Think on that!)
In any case, I also visited a bakery in Puglia, a region which I consider the best for bread. There I met Lorenzo Accarino in a store called Chichino Pane in Monte Sant'Angelo. He was throwing big, wobbly hunks of bread to be baked.
And he didn't knead it. Not a bit.
So, then I listened to a talk about bread at La bottega di Stigliano, a food cooperative in Siena province. The talk turned to modern folks inability to digest bread, and one of the threads being studied was the turn away from ancient methods to "quick rise" methods of making bread faster. We all took a swerve and started to make bread like factories, a quick rise, kneading to align the gluten in the flour, a short rise and then bang, into an oven.
So then I started hearing all the new talk of "no knead" bread—because that's the way Mr. Bonci does bread—creating a wet dough you can't even think of kneading.
Why don't you need to knead? Because a long rise, overnight or longer, aligns the gluten when the big holes expand with the slow rise. The bread works for you.
So what's the big deal, then, about health? Well, well-fermented, slow rise bread is very low in phytic acid.
Phytic acid not only grabs on to or chelates important minerals, but also inhibits enzymes that we need to digest our food, including pepsin,1 needed for the breakdown of proteins in the stomach, and amylase,2 needed for the breakdown of starch into sugar. Trypsin, needed for protein digestion in the small intestine, is also inhibited by phytates.
Through observation I have witnessed the powerful anti-nutritional effects of a diet high in phytate-rich grains on my family members, with many health problems as a result, including tooth decay, nutrient deficiencies, lack of appetite and digestive problems. ~ Living With Phytic Acid
To be fair, there are some who would argue that the benefits of Phytates outweigh the disadvantages. But still, I can create a free-form loaf of bread with a crunchy crust and those un-uniform holes that pane pugliese has with a minimum of effort while the rising dough does all the work. And the long fermentation makes it tastier.
So, when you slow travel, think of slow bread, too. Let's hope this swerve back to the past has legs.
And, um, thanks Mr. Bonci!

Mapping the Tourists
■ 13 July 2014 by James Martin
I like maps. Slap me with a heritage pig chop if I'm wrong, but I think modern technology has made maps more useful and interesting. (It gives you a good feeling to think that modern thought and technology isn't all about crowd sourcing and driving down the incomes of trained and adept authors and artists.)
Take the map in the thumbnail. It's a map of where tourists went in Italy in 2012. What they've done is taken the number of tourists who went to each region and map that region to the size it would be if geographical size was proportional to the number of tourists. So Tuscany is huge. Lazio is big but I'm thinking it's only because throngs of people go to or land in Rome and then skedaddle, same with the enormous Veneto and Venice I suppose. And….the Abruzzo remains a dot the size of a pimple on a giraffe.
From this map you can discern where you should go if you fall into one of the two prevailing tourist categories. The trophy tourists who demand to see the "best" will want to go to the regions that are big, especially to those whose regions have been bloated by the algorithm the most, like Tuscany, so they can relate with pride that they've done the things the guidebooks and the crowd tell them to do. I don't mean to be totally negative about this; these are the places with the highest density of easily accessed things to do for tourists who don't know the Italian language. The folks who say, "I wanna get way off the beaten tourist track" can, and should, pick the miniscule regions. Those are the ones in odd colors you can barely see, like ticks on your arm after a hike in the woods. Take the Marche for instance. It's the pink tick.
It is in current vogue to label Le Marche as "the new Tuscany." Both the New York Times and Wall Street International have fallen over each other to put out the word. Thank God the mantle has been lifted from Puglia. Puglia, like Le Marche, has its own charms. They might not be the charms of Renaissance-rich Tuscany, but who cares? "The New Tuscany" is a label used by lazy writers. Ignore them. They make a one-week trek to a place, consult a few enthusiastic guides, and then that place becomes the cat's meow. Instantly.
That said, there is enough in the Metauro Valley to keep you busy for weeks. Real food. Cheese made by folks out in real barns. Stunning landscapes, unchanged since the times Piero della Francesca brought his easels and brushes into the countryside to paint them. It's home to waterfalls you can swim near and picnic by—bring a hearty bread with cheese made by a real cheesemaker. The Cascata de Sasso is one of Italy's ten largest waterfalls and you didn't have a clue, did you? (Ok, I didn't either and I've been to this area many times).
And this is just a third or less of Le Marche. Imagine. Not only can you get a taste of unspoiled Italy, you can expand the rich "pinkness" of the little region and pretty soon the trophy travelers can become interested in it. Perhaps if enough of you get entranced by the siren song of Le Marche, you can contribute to numbers that might sway the money-hungry powers that be to reconsider the paving of the balconies of Piero della Francesca —or making a hydroelectric plant at La Cascata del Sasso.
The Abruzzo isn't a bad place to spend a couple of weeks either. The Abruzzese need you, too. Tourists might stay in a castle and eat more than their share of food and thus leave some money in the territory so the people can finally recover from that big trembler from years ago. And you can visit Le Grotte di Stiffe. C'mon, you've always wanted to do that, didn't you?
Here's the Link to a very big map like the thumbnail above from the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera: L'Italia vista dagli stranieri
The Cinque Terre Wines of Walter De Battè
■ 9 May 2014 by James Martin
I've had the privilege of tasting some of Chianti's "best" wines. Some of them cost more than 8 worker's lunches here in the Lunigiana, just for a single bottle. People whose job it is to "present" this wine to the public usually extol their handling of the grapes and speak glowingly of the care they take with their little babies, all moist and ripe as they slide slowly down the chute on their way to becoming expensive libation. When their juices age a very long time these grapes become a wine that will undoubtedly be called "refined."
But when it comes time to taste, your pourer may flick an imaginary piece of dust from an impeccably tailored sleeve, allow a precious dribble to fall into a glass, then stand back, smile and say something like, "good, eh?" when you touch the glass to your lips.
Yes, good. But not 7 times better than a decent bottle, I usually think.
But I'm not a wine writer, really. I look to other people to extol whatever virtues justify the cost. They say the same thing. "Good," or "Mmmm," then nod knowingly. I am thinking they are thinking the same thing I am thinking, something like "somebody please say something intelligent about this wine."
But maybe not. Maybe we are just letting the wine speak for itself. It is refined. It speaks softly.
Walter De Battè is serious about the wines he makes out of vineyards that cling to the slopes above the five little villages given the name Le Cinque Terre. These wines are not "refined." They speak boldly of things refined people don't speak of in public. We tasted Walter's wine with foods prepared by Cappun Magru restaurant in little Groppo, a bump on the winding road to the top of a ridge from which you get excellent views of the five little villages and the terraced hillsides the rain keeps washing away. Food expert, guide, B&B owner (Poggio Etrusco) and cookbook author (Cucina Povera) Pamela Sheldon Johns has invited us, and man, are we glad she did.
The first wine we taste is brilliantly colored, a deep gold with signs of murkiness. Walter thrusts his nose deep into the glass and describes the smell of rocks drying on the beach in the noonday sun. He talks of lichens and moss. It is the opposite of refined; we are shrouded heavily in the nature we desire to be engulfed in, at least in our dreams.
The wine he's named Carlaz is unfiltered and unfined. Hence the murkiness and, above all, the intense flavors of the sea and earth, the terroir, as the French say, from which the grapes have developed their unique character.
It paired nicely with the dish the restaurant was named after, the Cappun Magru, a fisherman's dish of fish, shellfish, a mariner's biscuit, green sauce and earthy vegetables.
We had three other courses—and three other wines. I'm not going to wax poetic over them. Each was significantly different, like a novel which comes alive when you realize that each personality is different and distinct and equally compelling.
But we ended with one of the last bottles of Walter De Battè's Schiacchetrà that are currently in circulation. Schiacchetrà is the Cinque Terre's famed dessert wine.
Why is Schiacchetrà wine so expense? Easy: It takes 45 pounds of fresh grapes to make 15 pounds of dried ones, from which the winemaker extracts a single bottle of Sciacchetrà. The wine should age for at least 6 years. Good vintages can age 10, 20, even 30 years. ~ David Downy – Wines of the Cinque Terre
I've put a picture of it over there to the right. Look at the color! This is no wall flower wine!
The perfect afternoon? A room that opens onto the vineyards of the Cinque Terre, letting in the light. A small group of good people unafraid of life, a man in jeans who knows wine. Good food. Wine that speaks volumes: of the air and the sea and the rocks and the hanging moss, earthy as all get out…
It's almost pornographic, eh?
Where to Buy Crystal in Tuscany: Colle Val d'Elsa
■ 15 April 2014 by James Martin
You've all heard: Italy is in financial distress. There are no jobs, especially for young people. Italy provides Italian citizens with excellent educations, but these days the educated vanish, heading for where the jobs are. The situation is hopeless.
I'd like you to meet a very interesting man. His name is Luciano Bandinelli. When he stands in front of his shop on the edge of the little town with the strange name you wish you have visited in Tuscany, Colle Val d'Elsa, he nearly bangs his head on the sign.
Yes, Luciano in a way joined the exodus, forsaking the family business in favor of working for a technology company that sent him all over the world. His father wasn't so pleased. Then one fateful day, on an airplane coming home from a trip to smog-shrouded China, he thought, "What am I doing in this smoggy hell? I live in a place everyone wants to live in. It's one of the most beautiful places on earth."
And so he came home again. He joined his father in the business of making glass all it can be. He is a Crystal Master Craftsman. His motto is "passion, tradition, emotion." Neither he nor I found those attributes in modern technology.
He applies each of those qualities in the crystal he produces, however. I know cut crystal has gone out of fashion. Wine glasses are factory molded and cheap. You make a toast with friends and you "clink" your glasses together, but they no longer ring happy tidings, they don't even clink—they clunk. You know why?
Because they're not leaded crystal, that's why. Touch two crystal glasses together and they ring like a bell—and almost forever (or at least until you give up and take a drink).
What about the lead in the crystal? You've heard bad things about it. Let's tackle that. Italy has a limit to how much lead can be put in the crystal. While lead can leach into acidic liquids that have remained in containers for an extended period of time, the use of crystal wine glasses is quite safe:
For everyday use, no liquid stays in the glass long enough during any meal to leak lead that exceeds EPA standards. This is good news for consumers who can safely use lovely crystal stemware to serve wine, water, and other beverages. ~ Is It Safe to Use Crystal Glasses?
Of course, Luciano makes more than crystal wine glasses. The shop is full of plates, light fixtures, ornaments and other shimmering, hand-crafted and cut crystal items:
La Grotta del Cristallo is a unique Atelier creating original crystal pieces; gifts for special occasions; table decorations; customized engravings made to order.
If you go to the grotta, you can see how all this is done. Luciano has a video that shows the hand cutting of the glass, and he'll show you how the glass is polished and cut. It's an amazing thing to see.
I want to tell you to buy things. Lots of things. I want to tell you to support this exodus back to what Italy does best: handmade things that last nearly forever and are well worth a premium price. Why support minimum wage slave production of cheap crap? But I won't. Just see for yourself. And, you know, I am directing you to a very interesting town.
Find out more on Luciano's web site: La Grotta dei Cristallo
Colle di Val d'Elsa, literally the hill of the valley of the Elsa river, is spread out on three geographical levels. The top level, the castle, is the oldest. Tourists don't plan to come here, they see the massive gate and towers and they stop because they are surprised by the sight. There is plenty of parking outside the walls.
If you're coming to San Gimignano or Volterra by car, Colle di Val d'Elsa makes a fine day or half-day trip. The town lies along the ancient Via Francigena pilgrimage route, which gave it an early market boost. There are only two long roads, a compelling little passageway/tunnel, fine restaurants, a great hotel and apartments, and some interesting little museums, including, in the lower town, one dedicated to crystal. Why? Because 15% of the world's crystal and 95 percent of Italy's crystal is produced here, in little Colle di Val d'Elsa! Glass production was introduced in the 17th century by the nobel Usimbardi family. Before that, Colle was known for paper production.
Where to Eat? Cooking Guru Divina Cucina recommends Officina Della Cucina Popolare, just inside the gate you see below called "Porta Nova". Michelin (and Luciano) recommends Arnolfo, definitely a splurge, also popular (and more affordable) is Il Cardinale inside the Relais Della Rovere.
Where to Stay? In addition to the Relais above, we recommend the high city central location of the Palazzo San Lorenzo or, if you wish to enjoy a longer stay, the adjactent San Lorenzo Apartments
So here's the gate that compels passing tourists to enter:

Cycling the Emilia Romagna
■ 31 March 2014 by James Martin
Mention the regions that might attract the most visitors, hardly anyone mentions Emilia Romagna. It's big, it's got lots of industrial farming, it's got a long and straight autostrada called the A14.
It's also got lots of historic cities, the best food in Italy (many claim)—and it's got bike hotels.
I first came across bike hotels when I went to Riccione for a conference. Now I've noticed that not only are there Riccione Bike Hotels, but also Rimini Bike Hotels.
Not only that, but it's got CyclE-R, a site where you can plan your route and get pre-planned itineraries already mapped for you.
But we're not done yet! The tourism people have started to offer contests like the current Instagram contest take a picture of scenic spots with your bike in it and you can win prizes. There's one contest each month.
And all the info is in English! Imagine!
So heck, why not head over to the Emilia Romagna, rent a bike, and have a blast? It's got some fine cities you've probably never heard of like Brisighella and seaside Cesenatico you will want to explore, as well as big boys like Parma and Italy's Motor City Modena.
This little post was the result of a twitter conversation with someone who actually asked me a question that didn't fall into the category I call, "How long is a piece of string?" These include, "Is Europe reasonable?" and "How much does an Italian train ticket cost?" Believe it or not, about 85% of questions I receive are unanswerable due to extreme vagueness; I have no idea what's "reasonable" to you, nor can I guess where the train in your mind goes. I'm extremely grateful to get questions like asking for specific information a person can provide without hyperbole (don't ever ask for the "best" town in Italy; I won't answer). Try things like: where can I take my bike out for a spin in Italy where it's flat? (Puglia). Where can I see a town whose economy was once based on Gypsum? (Brisighella). Where in Italy did Leonardo da Vinci design a canal? (Cesenatico). I might not be able to answer your question, but I like looking things up if the question is reasonable. Usually a question that involves food is reasonable—and there's a good chance I can come up with an answer.
Fontanaro: Finding the Slow Life Rather Quickly
■ 26 March 2014 by James Martin
It used to be difficult. You invested a great deal of time and energy getting a degree in the humanities. You learned a few languages. Then you took off for Italy, equipped by notes and hand-drawn maps from intrepid travelers. You meandered your way through dusty little towns and ramshackle sections of cities. You spoke to young boys playing in the street, who looked at you in your odd clothes as if you were from another planet but were polite enough to point you in the right direction. Finally, you managed to track down the old man who kept the keys and understood enough of your odd mangling of his language to know what you wanted to see.
And finally, following his hobbling gait, you came upon the church blackened by centuries of grime, the door was opened for you and the damp, moldy air enveloped you.
Then you shuffled into the darkness to stand before the priceless masterpiece of art you sought. The one that moved you. The one that spoke volumes to your soul. The one recorded by that first, solitary traveler who suffered more hardship than you did to come upon such a treasure.
Today, the very possibility of such discoveries is lessened by our haste. The chances of it haven't changed, our willingness to learn and sacrifice for a greater reward have dissipated. We have iPads. Time has taken a warp.
But no matter, for you seekers of the good life there is hope. It comes in the form of a rural revival. Country farms that have become the new repositories of local knowledge, the post-modern monastery.
I give you as an example the diffused living units of Fontanaro, an organic, family farm that produces olive oil, wine and saffron and welcomes you to learn how to work with ingredients as they were before clever industrial crap food specialists learned to take the flavor out of them and mass distribute them to unwary and uncaring customers for massive profit.
But there is more to Fontanaro than good food. Even more than the huge wine cellar full of the best Italy has to offer. Even more than the small library of art books in each living area. Lucia wants us to see the fresco. It's a 3 minute drive away, in the town of Paciano. Heard of Paciano? I didn't think so.
So we see the little museum. Just to warm up. Then we exit the museum and round the corner on a chilly night while a young man scurries by to open a door for us. We climb up the stairs. It is a dramatic scene, an entire wall looming over us as we climb the last of the steep stairs. And there it is:
Painted in 1452 by Niccolo Francesco di Bonifazio of Castel della Pieve, the same city that Perugino hailed from, the Crocifissione is no small achievement.
But now you've seen it. Well, no, you haven't. In this tiny internet view, you can't see the devil exiting the mouth of the bad thief crucified on the right. The bad boy has just checked out the interior, the soul, to figure out what to do with it. And you might have missed this:
No, you must stand in front of this monumental work to see it all. That's why it's monumental.
But our evening wasn't done.
Usually open only for Venerdi Santo, good Friday, the doors of the "black church" were opened for us to reveal the dark side and the veiled Christ that would be carried in procession on the shoulders of believers. You may not have seen a church like this:
And for that, you will want to visit Lucia Verdacchi and Alina Pinelli at Fontanaro. They have the keys to the slow, contemplative life, the life of the modern monk, seekers of truth (and good, honest food and wine).

If you stick with Childish Gambino's (AKA Donald Glover) new mixtape ROYALTY until the very end, you'll hear an incredible rap cameo from none other than Tina Fey.
Yeah, we in here, we in this thing
Gambino is forever. Royalty is forever.
We ballin' so we fuckin' up the hardwood homey.

I received an email last night, and I'm passing it along to you guys. This is the official press release for "Forgotten Tales":
Last Doorway Productions is now in production of its newest feature "Forgotten
Tales" a trilogy film Written and Directed by Reyna Young (TV Horror a Host of Movie Massacre, Monster of Golden Gate, No Service) After moving into her new home a woman discovers she has a few unwanted house guests. Soon she discovers there's more to their story. A babysitting job sounds great or is it? With a serial killer running around it may be a bad idea after all. An inspiring actress auditions for the most creepiest director ever, little does she know what he really wants from her. Forgotten Tales is based off of Reyna Young's comic book series through Scattered Comics. Scattered comics has jumped on board to be the main artists who will be providing the images within the film. Starring Reyna Young (The Divine Order, No Service, Monster of Golden Gate) Harold Whitson, Jeanne Ladysage Capili ( The Slam Show) Slammin Sam (The Slam Show) Wyzae Crankfield (Recording/performing artist) Kelsey Zukowski (What they say, Within these walls) Marv Blauvelt, (Psycho Street, No Service, Within these Walls) Andrew Stone, Maureen Mo Whelan (The Divine Order, No Service) Natasha Tolanz Champion (Black Devil Doll) It sounds interesting enough, comics and anthology movies seem to be a hot item right now. The first story is an Urban legend, maybe that's the theme for the comics? I will post a trailer as soon as I find one. I will continue to follow the progress of Forgotten tales, and pass everything on to you, dear readers. I love urban legends, so I have high hopes for this film.

Unsurpassed Performance, Power Efficiency, and Flexibility
- The ATI Radeon E4690 MXM features 512MB of on-board GDDR3 memory, 320 shader processors, a comprehensive set of display output options and adjustable system clocks for exacting power and performance requirements.
- As the industry's only embedded graphics chip to offer support for both Microsoft DirectX® 10.1 and AMD's Unified Video Decoder 2 (UVD 2), the ATI Radeon E4690 MXM enables competitive advantages for AMD's embedded customers by providing outstanding graphics support coupled with high quality video playback performance
- Incorporating ATI PowerPlayTM intelligent power management technology, the ATI Radeon E4690 MXM is designed to optimize power consumption and enable exceptional performance per Watt for power sensitive embedded applications.
- System designers have ultimate flexibility with a comprehensive selection of outputs including dual independent display controllers, integrated DisplayPortTM, integrated single & dual-link LVDS, integrated single & dual-link DVI /TMDS/HDMI and analogue outputs.
- Supported by ATI Stream technology, the ATI Radeon E4690 MXM can replace numerous system hardware components (e.g. FPGAs, DSPs etc.), helping to reduce overall system power, size, and cost.
"As the graphics requirements for embedded systems continue to increase, AMD has armed the ATI Radeon E4690 MXM with features that are important to our customers and done so within an industry-standard specification that helps simplify design, development and market delivery," said Richard Jaenicke, director of Embedded Discrete Graphics for AMD. "Based on the successful ATI Radeon™ E4690 GPU, the ready-made ATI Radeon E4690 MXM solution provides the graphics performance, energy efficiency and reliability customers need. This, coupled with the module's five year product life cycle, makes the ATI Radeon E4690 the easy answer for system designers looking to gain competitive advantage in the marketplace. 2"
"The ATI Radeon E4690 MXM module is an ideal solution for our aerospace and defense customers," says Dan Joncas, VP Sales ALT Software. "Its parallel processing capabilities open up a whole new range of applications including video surveillance, radar processing, target acquisition and synthetic vision. This module is ideal for manufacturers of embedded systems that require high-performance computing and advanced graphics."
Good move by AMD. For enyone that's wondering, embedded graphics market would include image recognition security systems, surveillance, arcade and casino games, and medical imaging.
The 512MB of on-board GDDR3 memory and 320 shader processors is impressive, but the chip also comes with DVI and HDMI outputs.
I wonder if they will actually give Intel any competition here though. Intel market share as a mobile gpu provider is quite substantial.
Very nice, AMD seems to be making some great steps in this field. They need to step up there CPU development (and I am an AMD user) significantly from what I see, at least there time line. The further you fall behind the harder it is to catch up.
I understand the need for embedded GPU chips but I'm not one to use them. I almost always use discrete Video cards for display. It probably more from habit than necessity too. They perform much better than they used to, but I was put off by them a long time ago.

Vinalhaven Island, Maine, one hour away from Rockland by ferry, has been one of my favorite places in the East Coast since my first visit, in 2001. It's always a pleasure to go there, even just for a few days. This summer I managed to paint on location a series of island vistas on the iPad. I could have done more, but I was set on having water on each image.

Sullivan's Steakhouse Restaurant Review: Quality steaks, professional service and a warm atmosphere keep Sullivan's busy from lunchtime into the late evening. Sure, the huge wedge of iceberg lettuce slathered with addictive blue cheese dressing is worth the visit, but this popular haunt of pro athletes and local VIPS has so much more. For starters, the seared ahi and rich shrimp and lobster bisque warrant seconds. Steaks can be "dressed" with a selection of sauces or butters, but the tender cuts of beef are fine unadorned. Pair the rib-eye with Brussels sprouts and horseradish mashed potatoes, or team the sides with pan-seared sea bass for a memorable meal, one made complete with bananas Foster bread pudding and a cup of espresso for dessert.

text: If it was built in the 60s, the recessed cans are probably remodel versions, which are very easy to swap out. But the only reason I can think that they would need to warm up is if someone put early generation/cheap CFL bulbs in them. Try popping a new incandescent bulb in one of them and see if it strikes right away.As far as replacing them, the cans themselves come in standard sizes, so you should be able to swap them out.Are you maybe talking about recessed fluorescent fixtures? Those are even easier to replace, and they too come in standard sizes. It's usually just 2 screws holding the fixture in place.The door issue will depend a lot on the wall framing, but shouldn't be too hard.The pool costs will vary greatly depending on the average ambient temperature, what temperature you want to keep it at, surface area of the water, what type of cover, how efficient the pump is, how efficient the heater is, and what type of fuel the heater uses. You will definitely need to provide more information to get any sort of ideas on that one.--Intel i7-2600k /ASRock P67 Extreme4 /4x 4Gb G.Skill /2x Intel 510 series 250Gb SSD /3x WD20EADS 2TB /2x PNY GTX 260 /Silverstone 850W /Custom water cooler /Antec Twelve-Hundred

Topics: Politics, Medicare, Women's Health, Health Reform, States
May 23, 2012
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama's campaign will air a new ad aimed at seniors who are on Medicare and will continue efforts to connect with the women's vote.
The New York Times: Political Memo: In One Corner, A Champion Of Government. In The Other, Its Foe.
An Obama campaign video shows the president's national political director, Katherine Archuleta, tearfully crediting Mr. Obama with having saved her daughter's life. She portrays the president as a hero of government whose health care law assures her daughter, a cancer survivor, insurance coverage forever. A video by a political committee backing Mr. Romney follows a nearly identical tack: evocative music and a tearful description of Mr. Romney as "the man who helped save my daughter." But the testimonial, from a former partner at Bain Capital, depicts Mr. Romney as a hero of business who once shut down his firm to aid search efforts until the partner's missing teenager was found (Harwood, 5/22).
The Associated Press: Obama Airing Ads On Veterans, Seniors
President Barack Obama's re-election campaign is airing two new ads, one focusing on his work with veterans returning home from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and another aimed at seniors dependent on Medicare. ... The ad on Medicare notes that Obama was raised by his grandparents and cites his administration's efforts to root out health care fraud (5/23).
CNN: Obama Campaign Highlights Medicare And Veterans In Two New TV Ads
President Barack Obama's re-election campaign is out with two new TV ads Wednesday that tout what they say are the president's commitment to preserving Medicare and his pledge to honor the country's veterans. The campaign says the commercials are part of their previously announced ad buy of $25 million to run spots this month in many crucial battleground states (5/23).
The Associated Press: Ad Aimed At Women Takes On Obama's Economic Record
Some headlines that flash by in the ad probably need an asterisk or two. One says, "Survey: Health insurance costs surge in 2011," while the narrator blames the new health care law for making premiums more expensive. Actually, Kaiser Family Foundation analysts who prepared the survey in question said the health care law was only responsible for between 1 and 2 percentage points of a 9 percent increase (Alonso-Zaldivar, 5/22).
In addition, a poll examines shifting opinions on abortion rights -
Politico: Poll: Record Low Are 'Pro Choice'
The percentage of Americans who identify themselves as "pro-choice" is at the lowest point ever measured by Gallup, according to a new survey released Wednesday. A record-low 41 percent now identify as "pro-choice," down from 47 percent last July and one percentage point down from the previous record low of 42 percent, set in May 2009. As recently as 2006, 51 percent of Americans described themselves as "pro-choice" (Mak, 5/23).
Meanwhile, a report about the North Dakota Senate race -
The Associated Press: Competitive Senate Race Shaping Up In North Dakota
Heidi Heitkamp, a former state attorney general with ties to the energy industry and a one-time candidate for governor, is perhaps the state's only Democrat who can prevent the seat being vacated by Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad from flipping to the GOP in November. ... Republicans say Heitkamp's tough talk on Obama is an election-year conversion and predict her past support for his health care overhaul and candidacy in 2008 will be her undoing. The latest Crossroads ad, for instance, targets her support of Obama's health care plan (Wetzel and Jackson, 5/23).

Word for the World - February 26, 2014
Prayer Posture
"When Solomon had finished praying this entire prayer and supplication to the Lord, he arose from before the altar of the Lord, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread toward heaven." (1 Kings 8:54,)
Solomon, in a time of intense prayer, fell to his knees. In a time of intense praise, he stood with hands raised toward heaven.
The New Testament teaches that we are to "present our bodies before God." Most of us, however, are from a culture that is non-expressive in terms of body language for worship. We will stand, sit, and bow our head, but beyond that we do not feel comfortable with very much body movement in worship.
I think one of the greatest joys we miss out on in corporate worship is the humility and sincerity that comes from bowing. In most of our places of worship, there is no place to bow down. This is only a recent occurrence, as for the past 2,000 years, when houses of worship were built they had a "kneeling bench," prayer rail, or other architectural aids to kneeling. I look forward to the day when, in my church, I am able to say "Let's bow in prayer" and it will have more than a symbolic meaning!
Bow down to God in prayer today!
In His Grace,
Dr. Randy White

mathematical details are as follows. Let X(t) denote cumulative damage until time t, and assume that X(t) ≥ 0. Assuming that as t grows, X(t) becomes approximately normal, and assuming that μ E(X(t)) = μt and Var(X((t)) = o2t, the distribution of the first t at which X(t) exceeds ∆ can be shown to be:
There are many generalizations of this argument, including those (1) for means and variances that are other functions of t, (2) for means and variances that are functions of other factors, and (3) where the distribution of X(t)is substantially non-normal.
Saunders described a current application derived from the generalized inverse Gaussian distribution applied to waiting times to failure for polymer coatings. These coatings often have requirements that they last for 30– 40 years. Modeling this requires some understanding of the chemical process of degradation, which in turn entails understanding how sun, rain, ultraviolet exposure, temperature, and humidity combine to affect coatings. Further, the chemistry must be linked to observable degradation, such as loss of gloss, fading, and discoloration. (For more details, see Saunders [2001].)
Joe Padgett outlined several currently used approaches he has been researching that can be applied to either the modeling of the failure of material or systems due to cumulative damage or the modeling of crack growth due to fatigue. A good motivating example is the modeling of the tensile strength of carbon fibers and composite materials. In fibrous composite materials, it is essentially the brittle fibers that determine the material's properties. To design better composites, it is important to obtain good estimates of fibers' tensile strength. Numerous experiments have been conducted to provide information on the tensile strength of various single-filament and composite fibers. Failure of the fibers due to cumulative damage can be related to times to "first passage," that is, times at which a sto-

The Old Vic and West-End smash hit Noises Off comes to the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre following its triumphant and critically acclaimed sell out run in London.
Hailed as one of the greatest British comedies ever written, Michael Frayn's multi award-winning backstage comedy serves up a riotous double bill – a play within a play. Hurtling along at breakneck speed it follows the backstage antics of a touring theatre company as they stumble their way through rehearsals, to a shambolic first night in Weston–super-Mare, and a final disastrous performance in Stockton-on-Tees.

On Jan. 17, Canadian-born Carrey turned 50 – old enough to be the dad of an American Idol contestant and a grandpa! Though he's best known for his rubber-faced movie antics, he's certainly more philosophical than Ace Ventura off camera. "Fifty years: Here's a time when you have to separate yourself from what other people expect of you, and do what you love," he has said. "Because if you find yourself 50 years old and you aren't doing what you love, then what's the point?"
