School is back in session, always…
Everyone involved with a school schedule has probably by now settled into a routine. It always takes a while to get logistics set up for any family involved with a new school year. Our school-age patients are a little short on numbers at the very start and end of each new school year. Once people develop their unique program, it becomes necessary to negotiate, with relative comfort, a successful program for week after week that they can soon relax, exhale, and follow the plan.
At our home, that is a typed daily transport schedule for the 2011-2012 school year. Each child is listed on a daily time roster, who transports who, and to where, and by when. And, with multiple children in multiple schools, the schedule can at first seem hectic and confusing. However, with larger numbers of children, the demand for a clear plan becomes more and more necessary.
With the importance of scheduling, comes the exceptions: doctor's appointments, orthodontic's and dentist's appointments, eye doctors, etc. Schedules are made to be broken, or so it seems. Time outside school can also be educational, as can transport. Hours of education can be added to a child's education while being transported. Siblings or drivers can quiz each other on spelling, multiplication, tables, etc. Think of it, if just one concept was studied on each trip.
I once told a teacher, who was perturbed with me for taking my child out of school, that I was taking my daughter out of school on an educational outing and I said, "I think education is more important than school." I would not recommend that comment to anyone, since teachers do operate most effectively with everyone present. My point, however, is if a child must be removed from school, have it be a learning experience. Ask them to report one thing that they learned by questioning their doctor, orthodontist, dentist, eye doctor, etc., about something they may not have learned in school. All professionals have much to offer in terms of education. If you must take off school, then make it an educational outing. Ask good questions. The quality of one's life is measured by the quality of one's questions. Ask thoughtful questions and…

Celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week!
Author: Leehspride

Since 1984, the National PTA has set aside the first week of May to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week. Join in the festivities this May 1-7 by helping your children plan a surprise for their teacher or purchase a meaningful gift for them, or drop a line to your own favorite college professor to let them know how they have had an impact on your life. On the PTA's website, you can find many resources to help you plan a fantastic TAW, including posters and stickers, ideas for events and activities, certificates of appreciation, and more.
National Teacher Day is part of this week-long celebration. Since it always falls on the Tuesday of Teacher Appreciation Week, this year it is May 3. The first Teacher Day was celebrated in 1953, after a nine year campaign by Arkansas teacher named Mattye Whyte Woodridge to create such an observance. However, it was not celebrated again until the National Education Association, in particular its Kansas and Indiana chapters, lobbied Congress for a national day to celebrate educators in 1980. Congress passed it, and for the next 5 years Teacher Day was celebrated on March 7, until the creation of Teacher Appreciation Week when the date of Teacher Day was changed to correspond with the week-long festivities.
People in the educational field have some of the most important but under-appreciated jobs in our country. They work long hours dealing with sometimes unruly and stubborn children, and must constantly find new and creative ways to reach out to their students. Their dedication to educating current and future generations of Americans is nothing short of heroic, and we owe them our gratitude and admiration. Furthermore, we should not forget the many supportive roles performed by administrative staff, principals, teacher's aides, cafeteria workers, and janitors in our schools, for they too contribute to the education and betterment of our children. We should express our appreciation for these diligent people far more often than we do, so please take a moment this week to find a way to thank the teachers in your life and the lives of your children.
The American Dental Association

The American Dental Association is the oldest and largest dental association in the world. Founded in 1865, the ADA is widely recognized as the best source of information, dental product recommendations, and oral health advocacy by both dentists and patients alike.
The ADA also has a charitable foundation that raises money to provide scholarships for dental students, fund research in various areas of dental science, bring oral hygiene education programs into schools, and provide disaster relief supplies. Learn more about the ADA Foundation here.
The 2011 Annual Session of the ADA will be held from October 11-13 in Las Vegas, bringing together leaders in dental practice, research, academics and industry to present more than 260 continuing education courses over four days. Condoleezza Rice is this year's Distinguished Speaker, and there will be a special reception for new dentists and dental students as well as a world marketplace exhibition, presentations on the latest dental technology, and educational courses on a wide range of oral hygiene topics, even a live demonstration of dental surgery techniques. The ADA Annual Session is a great opportunity for members of the dental community to network and keep up-to-date in their profession. Registration is open now.
For the average person outside the dental profession, the ADA offers a wealth of resources on their website that enables you to find a dentist in your area, a comprehensive A-Z list of topics that will address almost every question anyone could have about dental procedures and health, information on dental insurance and financing, tips for dealing with dental emergencies, and more. There are also ADA programs for educators, children, and employers that address the specific needs and viewpoints of each of these groups.
The ADA Seal of Acceptance is perhaps the most well-known facet of the organization, for many Americans recognize the logo immediately as a sign of reliability, safety, and efficacy in dental products. Started in 1930, the Seal of Acceptance program researches and rigorously tests consumer dental products before approving them. Today, over 300 products carry the Seal's logo. You can find a comprehensive list of these products as well as information about the history of the program, what guidelines are used, and how products are evaluated here.
As a member of the American Dental Association, Dr. James G. Hood is committed to serving his patients with the best quality dental care, up-to-date technology and techniques, and continuing oral hygiene health through the advocacy of home care and education.
Grad Rates Put Harvard in a League of Its Own; School Regains Top Spot on U.S. News College List Source: Fox News
Grad Rates Put Harvard in a League of Its Own; School Regains Top Spot on U.S. News College List
Published August 17, 2010
| Associated Press
Harvard pulled ahead of Ivy League rival Princeton in the latest edition of the influential U.S. News & World Report university rankings, while a stronger emphasis on graduation rates drove other changes in the Top 10.
The nation's oldest university and traditionally one of its most selective, Harvard has topped the list two of the past three years. Last year, the two elite schools shared the top ranking.
Yale was the No. 3-ranked university this year, followed by Columbia, and Stanford and Penn tied at No. 5.
Williams College in Massachusetts was ranked the nation's top liberal arts school, repeating its feat of last year.
The most closely watched of a growing number of college rankings, the U.S. News & World Report list is both credited for helping students and families sort through a dizzying college selection process and criticized by those who say it's too arbitrary and pressures colleges to boost scores at the expense of improving teaching.
A change in how rankings are determined led to some shifts in the magazine's "Best Colleges" rankings, which were released online Tuesday and examine more than 1,400 accredited four-year schools based on 16 factors.
How did Harvard edge Princeton by 1 point on an 100-point scale? Robert Morse, director of data research for U.S. News & World Report, credited Harvard's higher scores on graduation rates, and financial and faculty resources.
The rankings take into account factors such as SAT scores, selectivity, graduation and retention rates, alumni giving and peer reputation. This year, high-school guidance counselors' opinions were added to the mix.
Most notably, graduation rate performance was given greater weight, accounting for 7.5 percent of the final score for national universities and liberal arts colleges, up from 5 percent last year. The variable is the difference between a school's actual graduation rate and one predicted by U.S. News based on test scores and schools' resources.
Morse said the shift helped Columbia University rise from eighth to fourth this year and contributed to Cal Tech and MIT falling from a tie for fourth to a tie for seventh.
Nationally, graduation rates are getting more policy attention as higher-education leaders and advocates focus increasingly not just on getting students in the door but also out with a degree or certificate. One of the Obama administration's signature education goals is for the U.S. to regain the world lead in college graduation rates by 2020.
The University of California, Berkeley is the highest-ranked public university, at No. 22 overall in the U.S. News report. Despite a severe budget crisis, five schools in the UC system were among the top 10 public universities.
More schools were ranked this year, a reflection of both increased consumer demand and improved data collection, Morse said. The survey now displays the rank of the top 75 percent of schools in each category, up from 50 percent. The schools in the bottom tier are displayed alphabetically and not given numeric rankings.
The magazine also publishes a list of "Up and Comers," based on a survey of college administrators who were asked to nominate schools they think are making promising and innovative changes. The University of Maryland-Baltimore County was No. 1 among national universities in that category — and ranked No. 159 overall.
Earlier this month, Forbes magazine ranked Williams College No. 1 in its third "America's Best Colleges" rankings — and Harvard No. 8. The business magazine weighs student satisfaction, graduation rates, student debt and other factors.

Liege hits 28% of goal in a day
Developer John Rhee has a lot to be excited about. Less than a day has passed since he revealed tactical RPG Liege and its Kickstarter, and the project has already hit 28% of its goal at the time of this post. At this rate, the game will meet its goal and then some with plenty of time to spare before the kickstarter ends on July 28. When asked about the positive response to his project, Rhee said, " I'm completely thrilled! It's really a great feeling to have something I've put so much into backed by so many people."
Rhee, of Coda Games, has been working on the project for more than two years. He only started feeding the world peeks at the art and development back in March.
As for what gamers have to look forward to if they fund the game, three simple descriptors say it all — Story, Tactics, and Art. Rhee explains,
My goal with Liege is to create a unique blend of rich, compelling narrative and interesting tactical gameplay. This project is about evolving the classic JRPG format for a modern and maturing audience, and helping to push the limits of where games can be taken as a storytelling format.
Top down, tactical gameplay with handrawn art style and story based combat. If that tickles your fancy, dropping some coin down for Liege may be a good decision. Need more? Check out the video below and don't forget to visit Liege's Kickstarter site.

Primper Rating (23 ratings) 4
What is it
Lip colour balm
What it does

Best suited for
Anyone looking for a balm with a twist, or who prefers a more subtle approach to lip colour
What we said
A fun alternative to lip balm
Posted by: JasmineGala Supporter // Tue, 10 July 2012 05:22pm
I have this is woppin watermelon, super strawberry and mega melon. Mega melon is my favourite and most unique colour. It is very flattering on my pigmented lips and olive skin tone. These feel so moisturising on the lips. The colour is sheer but definitely buildable. They are great for those that aren't comfortable with the coverage of lipsticks but still like some colour on their lips. The pencil is wind up which requires no sharpening! Great to carry in your purse when you are on the go.
I am not giving it 5 stars however due to the price and the pact that once it has worn off my lips are crying for moisture
Posted by: diva89 Master Fan // Wed, 5 September 2012 11:50am
i have this in Super strawberry and im in love with it! when i use this my lips are so moisturised and soft… and not sticky at all! i will purchase few more soon
Posted by: crystal Enthusiast // Thu, 27 September 2012 01:47pm
Love these. So far I've bought 3 of them. Would buy more but they are expensive but worth it.
Not sticky which is good. Don't like sticky lip sticks.
Find they give a glossy finish and have a pleasant taste and smell ok too. Great range of colours, and I hear that they are bringing out more colours.
Posted by: misschris Master Fan // Mon, 15 October 2012 11:21pm
If you're looking for an amazing lip balm that is super moisturising as well as being able to give your lips a gorgeous hit of colour, this product is for you!!
I love the pencil look of this balm, so very different and yet very practical. The balm itself just glides onto my lid with ease, leaving them hydrated and with the most perfect hit of colour that lasts longer than my lipsticks!
I love super strawberry the most, it's such a pretty pink shade.
Posted by: 2Faced Supporter // Thu, 18 October 2012 08:27pm
Love me a chubby stick! I have 3: mega melon, 2 ton tomato, and heaping Hazelnut.
It provides great buildable colour and isn't sticky. I would describe it more as a lipstick though.
Posted by: Sparkles17 Master Fan // Sat, 27 October 2012 10:02pm
I love my Chubby stick its so cute and easy to apply and love that you can build as much colour as you want. It glides on very smoothly and my lips feel very hydrated. Does wear off pretty quickly though, in staying power closer to a lip balm than a lipstick.
Posted by: lolo Master Fan // Sat, 8 December 2012 10:15pm
These are great little balm sticks! They have fantastic colour, quite sheer but really moisturising.. Its a mix between blistex and lipstick.. if you mixed the two together! Easy to apply, and feels lovely on. I have the colour melon and it is a nice summery shade… The only problem is that it doesnt last as long as lipstick does!
Posted by: Miss_5ft0 Enthusiast // Mon, 17 December 2012 12:19pm
Overall, the product is innovative itself. The downside to this is that the colour payoff isn't great, but for those who want a natural sheen on the lips – you may consider this. The only colour which has decent pigmentation is the voluptuous violet.
However, another reason why I've given it 3 stars is the price – it's $35. If you want better colour payoff, perhaps Revlon's Kissable balm stains would be more to your liking and it's half the price.
Posted by: aeko91 Master Fan // Tue, 29 January 2013 01:43pm
My favourite I carry whopping watermelon in my handbag everyday! I cannot flaw this product it's too perfect. Good job clinique.
Posted by: Jaimi Enthusiast // Fri, 1 February 2013 12:44pm
I love this product, I have five different colours and where them everyday. The colour is build-able so I can where it light when I am at work and darker if I go out in the evenings. Stays on for ages to.
Posted by: claud.st Enthusiast // Tue, 26 February 2013 09:50am
I own 4 of these amazing chubby sticks, and oh my god they are amazing! Just the right amount of pigment with the payoff of moisture. You can build it up to a heavy colour or leave it as a barely there tint. These are amazing and so worth it. There is one constantly in my handbag because they are so wearable and easy to apply.
Two tonne tomato is a nice red, but sheer enough to wear through out the day.
The violet one (the name escapes me) is perfect. Adds just the right amount of berry.
Curvy candy is a lovely feminine lolly pink and barely blushing (?) is a natural colour that is perfect when going for a low key look.
I cannot rave enough about these. They are amazing!
Posted by: beautybee1 Master Fan // Sun, 31 March 2013 06:26pm
How I love my chubby sticks. I own 3 of these my favourite being Mega Melon. I find them really hydrating and they also impart good sheer colour. You really get a natural looking lip colour with the moisturising properties of a lip balm – just awesome.
Posted by: p3charmed Master Fan // Thu, 11 April 2013 09:30am
These are simply beautiful to use and all the colours are just divine. They glide on, are super moisturising with no hint of stickiness and they last for hours. I want to collect all the colours
Posted by: Erin-1312272625 Master Fan // Thu, 9 May 2013 11:30am
This has lovely colour and is moisturizing. The only reason I won't repurchase is that the product ran out quickly and taper options out there for similar results
Posted by: thecatwhosawstars Master Fan // Wed, 19 June 2013 01:02pm
I have two of these beauties in Chunky Cherry and Mega Melon. I love the way they look – chubby fun. They come in a great range of colours with awesome names. They feel lovely on the lips and moisturise well. They give a nice hint of colour for a low maintenance look. An essential for everyone's handbag I think.
Posted by: connor 777 Master Fan // Wed, 19 June 2013 02:50pm
I love the chubby sticks so easy to use and quite a good range of colours that stay on your lips quite well so I don't feel like I'm constantly reapplying
Posted by: MsSparkles Master Fan // Fri, 9 August 2013 10:18am
I have Two Ton Tomato, Chunky Cherry and I just love the moisturising quality and the sheer but bright colour.
I'm definitely aiming to get all of the colours. It's an addiction. Seriously, once you purchase one you'll become hooked.
Posted by: brookieliz Master Fan // Thu, 28 November 2013 07:17pm
Great product, lovely colours and feel, however the staying power isn't fantastic.
Posted by: lovinglipstick Enthusiast // Wed, 2 April 2014 10:31pm
I am a bit obsessed with Clinique chubby sticks. I really love the sheer colour provided by this product and the wide variety of shades available.
I think the packaging is very nice, and very practical.
The chubby sticks feel smooth and moisturising on the lips. They have glossy finish but are not at all sticky.
These are great to keep with you and apply on the go.
Posted by: chloe.x Master Fan // Fri, 25 July 2014 04:50pm
I honestly adore these. They are wonderfully hydrating, and surprisingly pigmented. The twist-up pencil packaging is handy for on the go and easy to apply. The large range of colours is also great. They might be on the pricy side, but the product lasts ages.

Pydio comes fully loaded with various plugins to ease the integration with other systems, help you develop your own specific installation, or even use Pydio as a very generic explorer-like GUI, for browsing any type of data.
Plugins can be seen as « features ». They come packed with their own actions and parameters, and can drastically change the way Pydio works. A plugin is composed of a folder « plugintype.pluginname » containing at least an XML file describing the plugin, the manifest.xml. When you want to customize, duplicate, understand a plugin, a good start is always to look at the manifest.xml. A plugin can come with various resources : PHP code, Javascript, images, internationalisation data, etc. All these are always declared in the manifest.xml.
How to install?
Most plugin come directly from the core, and you don't have anything to do to "install" them. If you have downloaded a plugin, then drop it inside the plugins folder of the application, and clear your cache (see below). All plugins can be activated and configured through the GUI, in the Settings section (accessible as administrator only).
Clearing the cache
Warning, since the gathering of all manifest.xml files into one huge XML registry is CPU intensive, there is a cache mechanism to avoid parsing these file at each request. This implies that when you make changes to a plugin, you'll have to delete the two new cache files located in the data/cache folder : plugins_*.ser (3 files). If you're developing, you'll want to disable this cache totally. This possible by setting the AJXP_SKIP_CACHE to « true » inside conf/bootstrap_context.php.
Since version 4, another way to automatically clear the cache is simply editing one of the plugins configuration accessible in the GUI via Settings > Plugins Options (for example disable/re-enable a plugin).
Plugins list
In this section, all the plugins available to extend Pydio features are listed. Each plugin has its own forum thread embedded in the page, please use it to add any comment that could be helpfull for other users.

This study is designed to examine the psychological effects of bone marrow transplants on children and their families. The investigators hypothesis is that families who show signs of psychological distress before transplant will continue those signs post transplant. The investigators are examining cognitive placement, emotional placement and other psychological factors in both the child undergoing transplant and his or her parent.
Behavioral: protein and calorie controlled diet and self-hypnotic relaxation

Dieter F. Uchtdorf and thirteen other faith leaders met with President Obama at his invitation on March 8, 2013 to discuss immigration reform. President Uchtdorf, second counselor to the Mormon prophet Thomas S. Monson, accepted the invitation after consulting with the prophet and the other apostles. Mormon is a nickname sometimes used to describe members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Mormon counselor is an immigrant himself, making him a valuable resource in the discussion on reform.
The faiths invited represented a diverse range of political viewpoints. President Uchtdorf, who attended President Obama's first inauguration as an official church representative, said that although everyone did not agree on every point, they were all in full agreement that new legislation needed to include respect for the law, protection against dividing families, compassion, and common sense. President Obama noted in a press release that the faith leaders were concerned about the impact of immigration laws on families.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is politically neutral, meaning that as a body, it does not promote or encourage membership in any specific party. It does, as churches should, speak out on the moral issues that are the natural territory of faith. However, those instances are comparatively rare and the stances taken do not tend to fit into the platforms of any party.
In November 2010, Mormon leadership officially expressed support for the Utah Compact, although they did not sign it. They issued a statement saying:
The Church regards the declaration of the Utah Compact as a responsible approach to the urgent challenge of immigration reform. It is consistent with important principles for which we stand:
"We follow Jesus Christ by loving our neighbors. The Savior taught that the meaning of "neighbor" includes all of God's children, in all places, at all times.
We recognize an ever-present need to strengthen families. Families are meant to be together. Forced separation of working parents from their children weakens families and damages society.
We acknowledge that every nation has the right to enforce its laws and secure its borders. All persons subject to a nation's laws are accountable for their acts in relation to them.
Public officials should create and administer laws that reflect the best of our aspirations as a just and caring society. Such laws will properly balance love for neighbors, family cohesion, and the observance of just and enforceable laws." (See Church Supports Principles of Utah Compact on Immigration.)
Following the meeting, President Uchtdorf told the Salt Lake Tribune:
"He just said in this value process we need to stand together and make sure the United States is still a place where people can come and, once they come, feel not at fear. And do it, of course, in a lawful way. He was talking about his principles and what he said was totally in line with our values." (See Mormon leader: Obama's immigration plan matches LDS values.)
President Uchtdorf shared his own immigration experience during the meeting. He has been an immigrant three times in his life. He was born in what is now the Czech Republic and which was then occupied by Nazi Germany. His mother took the children to Eastern Germany while their father was away at war. There, his grandmother first learned about Mormonism in a soup line. When President Uchtdorf was ten, his father's political beliefs caused the family to be in danger from the Soviets. They again fled, this time moving to West Berlin, which was occupied by the Americans. Today he is a naturalized American citizen, due to his call as a Mormon apostle, a position which lasts until death. He immigrated legally but said the process is cumbersome. He noted that the legal process needs to be one of dignity and also noted that there is a difference between those who came decades ago, when the United States essentially invited people to enter illegally in order to work in the fields, and those who have come recently.
President Uchtdorf said the Church will not be involved in any actual legislation, but does have an interest in the humane treatment of God's children and in protecting families. He told the Deseret News, "Whether we are Christians or other faith groups, we focus on the human side. Yes, we should obey the law, but we need to take a look at how it impacts individuals and families." (See President Uchtdorf, faith leaders counsel President Obama on Immigration.)

Peter Thiel : Slow impoverishment' happening in USA…
Unaccountable – Behind the Pentagon's doctored ledgers, a running tally of epic waste
From Reuters
For two decades, the U.S. military has been unable to submit to an audit, flouting federal law and concealing waste and fraud totaling billions of dollars
Linda Woodford spent the last 15 years of her career inserting phony numbers in the U.S. Department of Defense's accounts.
Every month until she retired in 2011, she says, the day came when the Navy would start dumping numbers on the Cleveland, Ohio, office of the Defense Finance and Accounting Service, the Pentagon's main accounting agency. Using the data they received, Woodford and her fellow DFAS accountants there set about preparing monthly reports to square the Navy's books with the U.S. Treasury's – a balancing-the-checkbook maneuver required of all the military services and other Pentagon agencies.
And every month, they encountered the same problem. Numbers were missing. Numbers were clearly wrong. Numbers came with no explanation of how the money had been spent or which congressional appropriation it came from. "A lot of times there were issues of numbers being inaccurate," Woodford says. "We didn't have the detail … for a lot of it."
Do you remember in 2001 just one day before 9-11-2001 Donald Rumsfeld said that the Pentagon cannot account for $2.3 TRILLION…
Cheating students more likely to want government jobs, study finds…
Oh, gee don't you think that study confirms what our politicians do too….
From LA Times
College students who cheated on a simple task were more likely to want government jobs, researchers from Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania found in a study of hundreds of students in Bangalore, India.
Their results, recently released as a working paper by the National Bureau of Economic Research, suggest that one of the contributing forces behind government corruption could be who gets into government work in the first place.
For instance, "if people have the view that jobs in government are corrupt, people who are honest might not want to get into that system," said Rema Hanna, an associate professor at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. To combat that problem, governments may need to find new ways to screen people seeking jobs, she said.
Dem Rep: We're Not Broke; Gov't Just Doesn't Have Your Money…Yet
From Townhall.com
Dem Rep: We're Not Broke; Gov't Just Doesn't Have Your Money…Yet
"The bottom line is we're not broke, there's plenty of money, it's just the government doesn't have it," said Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), "The government has a right, the government and the people of the United States have a right to run the programs of the United States. Health, welfare, housing – all these things."

How Can Any Company Ever Trust Microsoft Again?
Back in 1999, it was asserted that backdoors had been built into Windows:
A careless mistake by Microsoft programmers has revealed that special access codes prepared by the US National Security Agency have been secretly built into Windows. The NSA access system is built into every version of the Windows operating system now in use, except early releases of Windows 95 (and its predecessors). The discovery comes close on the heels of the revelations earlier this year that another US software giant, Lotus, had built an NSA "help information" trapdoor into its Notes system, and that security functions on other software systems had been deliberately crippled.
More recently, there has been concern about Skype, bought by Microsoft in May 2011. In 2012, there were discussions about whether Microsoft had changed Skype's architecture in order to make snooping easier (the company even had a patent on the idea.) The recent leaks seems to confirm that those fears were well founded
GCHQ taps fibre-optic cables for secret access to world's communications
Britain's spy agency GCHQ has secretly gained access to the network of cables which carry the world's phone calls and internet traffic and has started to process vast streams of sensitive personal information which it is sharing with its American partner, the National Security Agency (NSA).
The sheer scale of the agency's ambition is reflected in the titles of its two principal components: Mastering the Internet and Global Telecoms Exploitation, aimed at scooping up as much online and telephone traffic as possible. This is all being carried out without any form of public acknowledgement or debate.
One key innovation has been GCHQ's ability to tap into and store huge volumes of data drawn from fibre-optic cables for up to 30 days so that it can be sifted and analysed. That operation, codenamed Tempora, has been running for some 18 months.

NSA: If Your Data Is Encrypted, You Might Be Evil, So We'll Keep It Until We're Sure
…The minimization procedures say that the NSA has to destroy the communication it receives once it's determined as domestic unless they can demonstrate a few facts about it. As part of this, the rules note:
In the context of a cryptanalytic effort, maintenance of technical data basesrequires retention of all communications that are enciphered or reasonably believed to contain secret meaning, and sufficient duration may consist of any period of time during which encrypted material is subject to, or of use in, cryptanalysis.
In other words, if your messages are encrypted, the NSA is keeping them until they can decrypt them. And, furthermore, as we noted earlier, the basic default is that if the NSA isn't sure about anything, it can keep your data. And, if it discovers anything at all remotely potentially criminal about your data, it can keep it, even if it didn't collect it for that purpose

Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBAs)
BirdLife's Important Bird and Biodiversity Area (IBA) Programme aims to identify, monitor and protect a global network of IBAs for the conservation of the world's birds and other wildlife. BirdLife Partners take responsibility for the IBA Programme nationally, with the BirdLife Secretariat taking the lead on international aspects and in some priority non-Partner countries.
Birds have been shown to be effective indicators of biodiversity in other animal groups and plants – especially when used to define a set of sites for conservation. So although the IBA network is defined by its bird fauna, the conservation of these sites would ensure the survival of a correspondingly large number of other animals and plants.
Data Zone Spotlight on IBAs gives the latest case studies from around the world.
IBAs in Danger
An increasing number of IBAs are under threat from damaging development – much of which is poorly planned and does not take environmental values into account. The IBAs in Danger initiative provides an essential focus for governments, development agencies, the international environmental and conservation conventions, business and wider civil society to act to prevent the further damage or loss of these sites of international significance.
Ninety five BirdLife Partners provided data on the pressures at their most threatened IBAs. This has identified a set of IBAs at great risk of losing their natural value.
We developed a map tool to portray the extent and locations of IBAs in Danger currently identified by the BirdLife International Partnership during 2014 . These 356 sites all face different problems, but all share one thing in common, that they have been identified as being in danger of damage or destruction.
To learn more about IBAs in Danger, check the Map tool
IBA Programme in brief
- The 12,000 IBAs represent the largest global network of important sites for biodiversity. They are identified using internationally agreed criteria applied by local experts
- IBAs are the sites needed to ensure the survival of viable populations of most of the world's bird species. They hold a large and representative proportion of other biodiversity too.
- Only 40% of IBAs have any form of protection. Protecting the rest is among the most urgent of global conservation priorities.
- Recognising that formal protection can disadvantage local people, BirdLife works with communities at IBAs to combine conservation with sustainable livelihoods.

DALLAS — With the long break between the end of the regular season and an early January bowl game, several players, matchups and storylines from the Cotton Bowl contest between Oklahoma State and Missouri have already been mentioned — and dissected.
OSU football: Cowboys, Tigers have under-the-radar players who can make a big impact
Justin Gilbert vs. Dorial Green-Beckham.
The final bows for senior quarterbacks Clint Chelf and James Franklin.
The rapid rise of Missouri defensive end Michael Sam.
A 1,000-yard back in Henry Josey facing the middle of the OSU defense that includes tackle Calvin Barnett and linebacker Caleb Lavey.
But here are five under-the-radar Cowboys and Tigers who could have a big impact in the Cotton Bowl.
1. Daytawion Lowe, strong safety, OSU
It's pretty stunning how a three-year starter who ranks second on the team in tackles (80) still tends to get overlooked.
But Lowe's versatility to play the run and pass will be needed against a balanced Missouri attack that ranks in the top 20 in the nation in scoring offense (39 points per game) and total offense (492.9 yards per game).
Lowe will assist in trying to stop Josey, who's averaging 6.6 yards per carry, and will also be needed plenty in coverage against a big, physical Tiger receiving corps.
2. E.J. Gaines, cornerback, Missouri
Gilbert isn't the only dynamic playmaker at cornerback in this contest.
Gaines, an All-SEC selection, has tallied a team-high four interceptions, two pass breakups and a fumble recovery this season to go with 68 tackles (four for loss). His finest performance came against Texas A&M, where he limited All-American Mike Evans to four catches for eight yards.
Gaines could match up with Charlie Moore, Jhajuan Seales or Tracy Moore on the outside.
3. Jhajuan Seales, wide receiver, OSU
Seales has shown flashes of promise during his debut season, ranking third on the team in catches (36) and receiving yards (529) while adding two touchdowns.

How would an ambitious young band garner the attention of your keen, highly-trained ears?
Ok, we're going to be perfectly honest here and ask you, the submitter of demos, to PAY ATTENTION to the following caveats and suggestions. Some of what's written below may be hard to take. Probably, just like your demo. Zing! Hey now, we'll be here all week.
I mean, we go to a LOT of shows, and sometimes our favorite words are "this is our last song."
Before sending us anything, look around the web site, listen to tracks, and get familiar with whom we work. Our love of death metal, hardcore, emo, folk, and techno varies from person to person in the office, but IT IS NOTHING THAT FITS INTO OUR ROSTER. You are wasting your time (and likely money) by sending it and trying to convince us that "but I can be the exception."
We absolutely DO NOT accept demos from third party lawyers or promotion companies shopping stuff for clients. They are bad people and we would rather not have to deal with them. They waste your money and they waste our time.
We never "request" anything. There's no quicker way to get your package recycled than to write "requested material" on the package. Just because we were polite and told you our address so you could send something doesn't mean we "requested" it.
Also, if you are a band or artist who has a day job and no vacation time we probably can't work with you. These days in the cruel world of the music business if you don't have time to commit yourself to working your ass off, neither do we. If you're looking for a bit of tough-love advice on the realities of clawing yourself up in the music industry, take a look at this essay our fearless leader, Rob.
While we don't require a polished album and fancy press kit, someone sending us a "developing project" with just a guitar recorded on a four track should head back to the drawing board. We cannot/ will not help finish your band for you.
We do not shop songs to our artists, ergo we do not accept songwriter submissions. If you are convinced that a song of yours is absolutely perfect for somebody, we suggest tracking down the artist at a show and giving them the song.
To our European friends, there are certain practical realities that a label our size has to face. One of them is this: there really isn't any way we can work with bands that are based overseas. It just isn't practical.
If you feel that you meet all the above criteria, then send us something you are proud of. Direct us to a website where we can learn more if we're interested.
If you MUST send MP3s, send them to demo [at] bloodshotrecords.com ONLY.
Finally, we are inundated with demos and, while we eventually listen to them all, do not expect a timely response-or possibly any response. If we think your stuff is something that would fit well with what we do, we will contact you.
We keep a "wall of shame" in our bathroom. Do you really want to be on it?
P.S. If your promo photo contains more than ZERO dudes wearing sandals, re-shoot it. Or join a different band. No man-feet please.
P.P.S. While we're rather fastidious recyclers around here, we HATE it when people send us loads of lyrics, press clippings, and other such landfiller, and we REALLY hate vellum folders that make your package look "more professional." Follow the time-honored adage of KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid.
What do you think of MP3s and file sharing?
Well, when this whole digital download thing started to show up, we, being a small label with limited means, had no strong objections to it. If people were curious about an artist of ours, it seemed quite good that people could download a song and listen to it. If they liked it, they could then go out and buy the album---a simple and free way to get our music publicized, so what if U2 loses a few thousand sales, right?
Sadly, as the number of people availing themselves to this technology has grown, the number of people who have no connection or loyalty to the independent music they are downloading has also grown---they are just looking for some free music, they feel entitled to every song by every artist at any time for free.
No harm, right? WRONG. Each time someone does this, they are depriving the artist of income for their creative efforts. We're not talking about Lady GaGa, Justin Bieber or Jay-Z here. We're talking about struggling musicians who drive around in crappy vans, who keep crappy day jobs, and spend long periods of time away from their families and friends, all to bring you interesting, fun, and un-crappy music. A couple of hundred lost sales to these bands represents a significant dent in their ability to tour. Recording studios aren't free, you know. Neither are vans, hotels, gear, gas, etc.
So, if you love independent music and want to support it, you are harming that which you profess to love by swiping music for free and passing it around to all your friends. Sure, if you're a moral person and do it to evangelize the cause and continue to buy their albums or legally download their music, we have no problem with that. We even offer lots of MP3s on this site for you to sample, but only in the hope you'll download the song, enjoy it, tell your friends and come back to hear more from that band. But if you think that full scale swiping does not have ramifications for the independent artists you want to support, you are quite wrong.
Besides, vinyl sounds better. No question.
What do we think of streaming services like Spotify?
It's super convenient. You can have 70 billion songs at your disposal (a pointed word choice, by the way) anytime, anywhere. Like almost everything else in the internets, if people use these tools to experience more music, or discover music they might not have ever come across, then it's a win/win. You find something new to listen to, the artist gets a new fan and some revenue when you carry your streaming love into the world of an actual purchase. But people must do that. As much as we use and support the streaming services (our Bloodshot Radio feature on our website is powered by Spotify, and we have a whole lot of great playlists on there for your aural ingestion and musical discovery), we encourage you to bring it full circle. The use of streaming services needs to be coupled with direct music purchases of vinyl, CDs, MP3s (or FLAC, WAV, and other nerdy file types via Bandcamp), for you to cherish and keep in your collection, in order for all this to keep working. Nothing gold can stay. If the streaming services disappear suddenly...you'll be stuck with what's in your physical library.
The reality is that streaming audio royalties generate micro-pennies per play, which requires exponentially more plays per listener, per song to equate to even a digital MP3 purchase. Streaming on its own is not sustainable for independent artists and independent labels (hey that's us!).
There's been a lot written about this, I suggest essays by David Lowery (of Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker) on the economics and fairness on the matter, but it all comes down to: Do ALL OF US, as a society, value music?
Besides, we like artwork, photos, liner notes and shit. And the whole "cloud" thing seems a little suspicious to us. It has a chilling Orwellian innocuousness to it. Essentially, we like to have our cake and eat it too...that is, a physical cake to eat, and a digitally streamed cake to carry with us and admire wherever we go. Or something.
I want to use Bloodshot music in my Podcast. What's your policy?
We love the fact that you are interested in using Bloodshot bands in your podcast (you obviously have impeccable taste in music), however, this is a very tricky subject, so stay tuned for further developments on our podcast policies.
In the meantime, while we can't give you permission to use just any song from our catalog, you're more than welcome to use any of the songs that are available as MP3s on our website, which you can find by going to any particular release page.
If you have any other podcast questions, contact Mike Sosin (sosin [at] bloodshotrecords.com), and he'll probably tell you "No." Just kidding; he's pretty nice.
Are you hiring? Should I send a resume?
No. Maybe. The path to a rewarding career at Bloodshot begins in our warehouse (or behind the dumpster at the Hideout). Either way, we like to hire fresh, young, corruptible interns and turn them into shriveled pieces of human wreckage. You got what it takes to flush your life down the toilet? Email mike [at] bloodshotrecords.com to inquire about an internship.
What is Bloodshot's connection to the RIAA?
NONE. ZERO. ZILCH. Any mention of Bloodshot as a member of the RIAA is just plain wrong.
Who should lawyers and licensers seek out?
Nan Warshaw can take care of such unseemly matters. Call her at 773-604-5300 or email nan [at] bloodshotrecords.com
Why is it sometimes so hard to find Bloodshot stuff in stores?
Getting thorough distribution for tiny, well-meaning organizations like us is a painful, demeaning uphill battle with sometimes erratic results. Most stores on the planet have access to our distributors. Trouble is they may not know that.
OR, given these troubled times for music retailers, they may only be stocking "the hits".
What can I, the music fan, do to help?
Where else can I find Bloodshot on the Internet?
Everyone's talking about social networking nowadays--web 3.whatever, we are all Time's "Person of the Year", etc etc. Never to be left behind the curve, we here at Bloodshot headquarters have spread our wares across the internet for you to peruse, download, comment upon and add to your little corner of the web.
You can network up with the BSHQ and become a fan on Facebook, follow us on Twitter, and see what we've been eating, drinking, and seeing via Instagram. We've got a ton of videos and live footage up on our YouTube page. We have a bloggy thing too (that sounds kind of gross).
Got some great photos of Bloodshot artists? Email them to mike[at]bloodshotrecords.com and perhaps they'll end up on our site and social networks (with credit to you, the photographer, of course).
What were the first pieces of music purchased by Bloodshot staffers with their own lunch money?
Nan: The Jackson 5: Greatest Hits (on LP – the ONLY format at the time)
Scott: The Go-Go's Beauty and the Beat. A girl I had a crush on liked them. Not much has changed since 7th grade, apparently.
Mike Smith: Puff Daddy & the Family No Way Out (on cassette)
Josh: LL Cool J "Around the Way Girl" cassingle (cassette single, duh). Regular radio edit on the front side, instrumental on the back. Flip it over, repeat.
Pete: Snow's "Informer" (another cassingle). Had to go all the way to Sam Goody for that shit.
Mike Sosin: Weezer (Blue Album) on cassette
Rob: A two album ELVIS best-of collection ordered from the TV with paper route money. The wispy thin vinyl waved like a sheet of paper. The cover featured fat, Hawaiian Elvis. I still have it and it sounds pretty good, though it favors late-era Elvis and nothing from the Sun years. First 7" single: "The Streak" by Ray Stevens. Jesus, what's wrong with me?
What are the Bloodshot staff's favorite super-charged power ballads?
Rob: Nazareth, "Love Hurts"
Nan: Elton John, "Someone Save My Life Tonight"
Scott: Night Ranger, "Sister Christian"
Piercy (Pete): Styx, "Lady"
Mike Sosin: Mötley Crüe, "Home Sweet Home"
Josh: Europe, "Final Countdown"
Mike Smith: Queen, "The Show Must Go On"

When you pick up your timing chip at the timing trailer, after you have received your race packet, you will be asked to double check all the information on your timing chip. You must wear your timing chip at all times while you are racing. Fasten it to either ankle, with the Velcro strap provided, before the swim and leave it on until after you finish the run.
Volunteers will help you remove the chip at the finish line. If you do not start the race, you are responsible for returning the chip to timing. If you drop out or are pulled from the race at any time, turn in your chip to a Rev3 STAFF member. Failure to do so may disqualify you from participating in future REV3 events.
It is essential that we know where you are on the course at all times for your safety and our peace of mind.
Your race chip is a loaner. By picking up your race number and timing chip, you are guaranteeing that you will return the chip to timing, or you will be billed for its replacement.
There is a $111.00 replacement fee for any lost or damaged timing chips.
If you lose your timing chip during the event, you are responsible for a replacement at one of the following locations: swim exit, bike exit or run exit.
The Rev3 Transition Director will have extra timing chips at the timing locations above. If you lose your timing chip while on the run course, please notify a timing official immediately after crossing the finish line. Failure to wear your timing chip on race day, return your chip after the event, or pay the replacement cost of your lost chip may disqualify you rom future Rev 3 events.
