With sales of $137 billion in fiscal 2014, McKesson Corporation (NYSE: MCK) is the largest pharmaceutical company in the world — providing medicines, pharmaceutical supplies, information, and care management products and services across the healthcare industry. McKesson has more than 50 global offices and employs more than 32,500 people.
- Key Business Needs: McKesson needed a robust, scalable, and cost-effective vulnerability management system to ensure the company would continue to meet core regulatory compliance initiatives.
- Tenable Products Selected: McKesson selected Tenable SecurityCenter™ integrated with the Nessus® vulnerability scanner to gain a rapid, centralized view of vulnerability status across its immense and complex global network.
- Top Benefits: The company's enhanced security process streamlined compliance reporting and ensured auditors have visibility into the vulnerability status of newly-acquired and existing systems. As McKesson continues to grow by acquisition, Tenable's technology scales quickly and easily and helps the company pinpoint and prioritize vulnerabilities and threats.
Business Needs
McKesson needed a robust, scalable, and cost-effective vulnerability management system that could quickly and easily expand with the healthcare giant as it acquired new businesses. The new security system needed to ensure the company would continue to meet its core regulatory compliance initiatives, such as HIPAA, PCI, SOX, HITRUST, and FISMA.
"We're a growth-by-acquisition kind of company, acquiring roughly five to ten new businesses every year," said Eric Dixon, Information Security Manager, McKesson. "A core part of my responsibility in the security division of McKesson is to understand how many new IT systems we're inheriting − do they expose us to any new risks or vulnerabilities − and what kind of impact the acquisition will have on our compliance status."
Business Challenge
Internal and third-party audits are frequent, if not constant, for the security team at McKesson. The Fortune Global 500 company has a vast network that spans tens-ofthousands of customers, employees, and partners around the world. As a result, McKesson must comply with a wide variety of regulations.
McKesson recognized that its process for security and vulnerability assessment would quickly become unmanageable if the business continued to grow at its current pace. The company began to investigate best practices and technology solutions, including vulnerability management, to automate core facets of its security process and meet the demand of its aggressive growth strategy.
Project Goals
McKesson had three key business requirements during its search for appropriate technology solutions.
- Scalability: McKesson's success showed no signs of slowing down, and the company needed solutions that could scale just as fast. With each acquisition, McKesson wanted to have an immediate and comprehensive snapshot of the vulnerability, risk, and compliance status of the acquired systems.
- Robust Capabilities: The technology solutions needed a dynamic feature set that could manage large-scale deployments and provide fast and accurate results to save time for McKesson's security team and extend their compliance and security capabilities.
- Affordability: The solutions needed to be cost effective. McKesson expected its continued growth would lead to increased security costs, which could have spiraled out of control if not carefully monitored.
"The more the company grew, the more opportunities we saw to streamline and optimize our existing internal security process," added Dixon. "By leveraging industry best practices and front-line security technology strategies, we would be able to build a new system that would benefit compliance, security, and our internal operations."
The Tenable Solution
After a detailed and extensive evaluation, McKesson deployed several technology solutions and implemented best practices that would streamline and optimize its security process. The company selected Tenable SecurityCenter and the Nessus vulnerability scanner, which helped them gain enterprise-wide visibility and insight into vulnerability status, all from a single management console.
Tenable's integrated approach to vulnerability management and assessment met all of McKesson's top business requirements. The technology gave the medical giant a clear picture of its vulnerability status with actionable information that helped the security team prioritize known and emerging vulnerabilities on its vast network.
Since deploying the technology, McKesson has been able to significantly expedite its track to meeting PCI compliance. The company's internal teams are never caught off guard by findings from third-party auditors. They know what the results will be in advance and have the opportunity to remediate any potential issues in accordance with the PCI guidelines.
Also, SecurityCenter has given the company detailed visibility into the entire new environment of acquired businesses and has quickly brought to light fundamental administration issues.
"We have been able to use Tenable to demonstrate shortcomings or to verify information from management consoles of other products like antivirus and patch management tools," said Dixon. "Tenable can provide answers that the other tools cannot provide – specifically hardware and software asset management."
Next Steps and Bottom Line
McKesson continues to use Nessus and SecurityCenter to uncover vulnerabilities across its network and ensure it's meeting key compliance initiatives. As a part of its PCI compliance initiative, McKesson's security team has recently been leveraging Tenable's technology to pinpoint rogue personally identifiable information (PII) on endpoint systems.
"We're in the process of creating a shortlist of systems that need to be investigated for PCI," said Dixon. "Our daily scans enable us to quickly identify unencrypted social security numbers and credit card information on various systems — helping us locate and prioritize risks to our compliance status.

I'm a little disappointed in video card companies today, both NVIDIA and ATI. Their high-end cards are pushing the boundaries of features performance and usability, but that all comes with a hefty price tag as well. Today, the high-end cards retail for $649 or even $749 online. Their response is that the video card takes a lot of Research and Development costs, and to an extent I agree. The high-end allows the companies to have high profit margins, but it also allows the performance mainstream and value segments to have the cutting edge features as well.
NVIDIA is a relatively new company in the computer industry. Founded in 1993, it's a relative newcomer compared to stalwarts like Intel, Microsoft, ATI, AMD and other companies that define the computer industry today. Their first card, the NV1 nearly broke the company, as Microsoft went a totally different direction with DirectX, polygons instead of polynominal rendering. NVIDIA bounced back and today is a multi-billion dollar a year revenue company with hundreds of millions of dollars in the bank. XFX is a division of PNY Technologies, a company based in Korea. PNY manufactures computer components including memory, flash memory, professional video cards under the Quadro line, consumer video cards under the Verto line, and other computer components. XFX concentrates on video cards for the consumer market and game pads. Over the last few months I've reviewed many a XFX card and today I'm reviewing the XFX 6600 256MB XXX Edition card from them.

Villa 3-0 Rotherham verdict: Lambert - I thought we were excellent
Paul Lambert praised his side's excellent football performance in the 3-0 win over Rotherham.
Lambert was delighted with the application of his players but also their quality, characterised perfectly by the third goal scored by Fabian Delph.
Boss Lambert called that strike "top-class" but he was thrilled with the trio of goals and the overall display of his young warriors.
He said: "You have to earn the right to win a football match. I thought we carried where we left off in the last three games.
"I thought some of the football was excellent.
"The third goal pretty much epitomises the way we are playing at the minute.
"It was one-touch football and the finish was great. All the goals were top-class.
"But the third goal for the speed of it and the pass and move was excellent.
"Fabian deserved that goal because of the way he has been playing, absolutely. He has been excellent."
Lambert chose a strong team to take on the Millers for the second round encounter.
But he brushed off analysis of the line-up, insiting that it was just a side he thought would win the game.
He continued: "It was a team I picked that I thought would win a game.
"We had an enforced change with Antonio. I knew Jed could handle it and Matty has played a lot of games since he's been here.
"I changed it a bit from that point of view. Other than that, it was just a team I thought could win a game.
"I can't fault the lads for the week they have had. It's been pretty tough but we're playing really well."
Upbeat Lambert joked in his post-match press conference about the movements of his team over the next few days.
He added: "I might arrange another game! No I will give them a couple of days free and then they will come back in Monday and get going again.
"The squad is really together and strong. I trust them to go out there and perform. The last four games they have been excellent. We are playing really well."

NASHVILLE, Tennessee, September 27. THE Auburn women started the season off right with a 158-44 triumph against Southeastern Conference foe Vanderbilt. The Tigers swept all 12 events this evening.
"It was the first meet of the year for our team and it was good to see where we are at in these early stages of training," head coach Brett Hawke said. "I thought the freshmen were solid in their first collegiate meet and overall the performance was good. Attention to details was what the coaching staff was looking for."
Auburn dominated the event wire-to-wire, not only winning all 12 events, but also claiming the top two spots in 10 of the 12 swims.
Ashley Neidigh and Jillian Vitarius both picked up a pair of victories against the Commodores. Neidigh checked in with wins in the 500 free (5:02.08) and 1000 free (10:02.49), while Vitarius prevailed in the 200 free (1:50.94) and 200 back 1:59.48).
Otherwise, Hawke spread the wealth with smart dual meet lineup management, giving all of his athletes a chance to get in some strong racing.
The meet proved to be a tuneup for Auburn, as they head to South Bend, Ind., for the Notre Dame Tri-Meet to battle Indiana and Notre Dame.

BANGLADESHBangladesh is a parliamentary democracy headed by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wajed, leader of the Awami League, which came to power in 1996 in national elections deemed generally free and fair by domestic and international observers. Major opposition parties include the previous ruling Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), the Jatiyo Party, and the Jamaat-E-Islami. A 1996 constitutional amendment requires a neutral caretaker government to conduct all general parliamentary elections. Nevertheless, elections are often marred by violence and rigging. The judiciary displays a high degree of independence. The Home Affairs Ministry controls the police and paramilitary forces, which bear primary responsibility for maintaining internal security. The army and paramilitary forces are responsible for security in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT), where a tribal group has waged a low-level insurgency since 1974. In December government and rebel negotiators signed an accord to end the insurgency in the Chittagong Hill Tract (CHT). Police officers committed a number of serious human rights abuses. Bangladesh is a poor country. Annual per capita income is approximately $260; about 45 percent of the country's 124 million people exist on incomes insufficient to meet minimum daily needs. Seventy percent of the work force is involved in agriculture, which accounts for approximately one-third of the gross domestic product. There is a growing industrial sector, based largely on the manufacture of garments, textiles, industrial goods such as rerolled steel, cement, and jute. There is a small wealthy elite, and a middle class is emerging. Efforts to reform the economy have been hampered by endemic corruption, political turmoil and the opposition of public sector enterprises, government bureaucrats, and other vested interests. The Government continues to restrict or deny many fundamental rights. Police committed extrajudicial killings, and some people died in police custody under suspicious circumstances. Police routinely use torture and other forms of abuse in interrogating suspects. The Government rarely convicts and punishes those responsible for torture or unlawful deaths. Prison conditions are poor. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's Government did not repeal the Special Powers Act (SPA), which allows for arbitrary arrest and preventive detention; it used the SPA to harass political opponents and other citizens by detaining them without formal charge. A large case backlog slows the judicial process, and lengthy pretrial detention is a problem. The Government sometimes infringes on citizens? privacy rights. The Government places some limitations on freedom of assembly. Women, minorities, the disabled, religious minorities, and indigenous people face societal discrimination. Violence against women and trafficking of women and children for prostitution remain serious problems. The Government continues to limit worker rights, and child labor is a widespread and serious problem. Vigilante justice resulted in numerous killings.

Todd's Canopies
I received the canopy today. I could not have asked for a better looking canopy. The color and the optics are very very nice. This is really going to make the plane! I have attached a photo of the canopy setting on the fuselage ready for trimming. I will follow with additional pictures of the installation. I can't wait to get started trimming the canopy. Again, thank you for a quality product.
Best regards,

I received my prototype canopy from Todd Silver last week. It looks great! ......Unlike Van's bubble's which have the base still attached, Todd's canopy came pre-trimmed to almost exactly what I needed. I probably won't have to spend more than a few minutes trimming this bubble to get a perfect fit. Very cool! Vince Frazier, Harmon Rocket Builder

Hell's Kitchen: Raj Brandston And Louis Repucci Exclusive Interview
October 01, 2010 09:00 AM by Lisa Princ
If you tuned into to Wednesday evening's explosive episode of Hell's Kitchen on FOX, then you watched as Gordon Ramsay eliminated both Raj Brandston and Louis Repucci from the competition. We had a chance to sit down with these two chefs and get their thoughts. Keep reading for all the details!
This was by far one of the most interesting interviews to date with anyone from Hell's Kitchen on FOX as these two contestants do not get along well and we had to speak to them separately. Here is what they each wanted to share with the viewers and their fans!!
RTVM: Raj, tell us what happened and why you think you were sent home?
Raj Brandston: It was chaotic and no one liked me. It was a terrible cooking battle and I did not get along well with anyone but it was still fun.
RTVM: Do you think the fact that you are older than most of the other contestants had something to do with their dislike of you?
Raj Brandston: Absolutely and because I am such a great cook. I was attacked by everyone there, Trevor, Louis and what was with Vinny?
RTVM: When you were eliminated you said that Gordon Ramsay did not like you, do you really believe that?
Raj Brandston: I think we have two different cooking styles and that we clashed and it was just uncomfortable. He is severe and tough and I am not used to that much of it.
RTVM: So what is next for you, Raj?
Raj Brandston: I am opening a restaurant in Venice Beach. It will be on the boardwalk and have a micro brew and the best burgers in LA. I will continue with my delicious cooking and if anyone wants to keep up with me, just look me up on facebook.
RTVM: Your turn Louis, tell us where you went wrong.
Louis Repucci: I went down in flames on the meat station. I work in YMCA camps cooking for kids and this was very different, a lot tougher for me but I think I carried myself the best I could.
RTVM: How was your overall experience on Hell's Kitchen?
Louis Repucci: It was an unbelievable experience. I learned so much and they encourage you so much. I don't regret any of it and I will never forget it.
RTVM: What are your thoughts on Gordon Ramsay?
Louis Repucci: He is amazing, I mean his Michelin stars say it all. His standards are of the highest level and you just have to roll with the punches.
RTVM: What is next for you?
Louis Repucci: Well, I will keep working for YMCA camps. We are actually opening a brand new kitchen for a YMCA retreat in a month and I am very excited about it. You can keep up with me on facebook as well, or just google me as I am all over the web these days.
Thank you to both Raj Brandston and Louis Repucci for speaking with us, and best of luck to both of them in their future endeavors! Be sure to tune in next week for an all new episode of Hell's Kitchen on FOX!

Last year I did the 204 mile Seattle-to-Portland bike ride on my touring bike. While it was fairly comfortable I felt like I was working a bit harder than the people on "go fast" bikes... especially on hills. Well this year, I have myself a "go fast" bike. A carbon Cannondale Synapse. For the STP, I plan to swap out my saddle on the "go fast" bike for my brooks B-17 on the touring bike. I'm also planning on switching the 23mm tires for 28mm tires.
I think these changes will help with this year's ride. I'd like to hear your thoughts and opinions on whether or not these are wise adjustment.

|Oracle FAQ
|Your Portal to the Oracle Knowledge Grid
Home -> Community -> Usenet -> comp.databases.theory -> Re: All hail Neo!
It is worth noting that this is a *design* issue and not a theoretical one per se. The semantics of SQL's null are well-defined, if rather clunky. Likewise, my empty-set semantics are quite well established and theoretically sound. The question is, which one leads to the most useful software? I propose that a piece of software that refuses to run calculation on data you do have because of data you don't have is less useful that one that is not so pedantic. Since this is a design issue, the only way to validate that assertion is through HCI testing, which I don't expect either side to perform.
I also observe that argument-by-naive-user is not one I consider very strong, unless the software is designed specifically for naive users. (Which is clearly no the case for the DBMS category.) Nonetheless, it is interesting that excel, which is probably the math-oriented software with the largest penetration into the broad market, works the way I propose.

Prudential Convention March 2011
San Diego, CA — Carrie Gentile and I recently attended the Prudential Real Estate Convention in San Diego, CA, March 6-8, 2011 to catch up on industry news and to receive the award for being a top performer in the Southeastern region for Prudential.
Guest speakers at the convention were Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, the parents who inspired The Blind Side movie. They told their story, welcomed others' and shared their hopes of having every Prudential agent make an impact within their community.
Their speech happily reminded me of the success and accolade that go along with being a Prudential Gallo REALTORS® agent. Prudential Gallo takes great pride in its community roots. In fact, they launched a new marketing program, Community minded, Customer Focused, which emphasizes the importance of family, life in Sussex County and having a place to call home…Something I embrace whole-heartedly when it comes to Lewes.
Overall, I left the convention with a renewed sense of purpose and am looking forward to (an already) productive 2011!

MORGANTOWN - As defensive tackle Julian Miller prepares to play his final game for West Virginia in the Orange Bowl, he's able to look back and say he did some pretty good things during his days in Morgantown.
His 27.5 career sacks are second on the school's all-time list behind Canute Curtis (34.5). His 42.5 tackles for loss are five behind Grant Wiley's career mark.
Both numbers rank him first among active players in the Big East. Yet, he never did make a first-team All-Big East list.
Article Photos
WVU defensive tackle Julian Miller prepares for his final college game Wednesday in the Orange Bowl.
''Maybe later on I might look back and say I never was all-conference, but right now, I'm still living in the moment,'' Miller said. ''It's my senior year. I'm playing in this Orange Bowl, hopefully go out and win (it).''
In its own way, he might actually have a more prestigious award on his mantle than any all-league certificate. Miller redshirted his freshman season, which was also Rich Rodriguez's last at West Virginia. It was a team that featured Pat White, Steve Slaton, Noel Devine and Owen Schmitt on an explosive offense.
Miller, a few pounds and injuries ago, was the Scout Team Defensive Champion that year, which ended with Mountaineers beating Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl, their last BCS game.
You stop those guys, you can stop anybody. But those thoughts are for later, he said. For now, he'll just enjoy this last one.
''This last one is one you want to go out on top,'' Miller said. ''If you look at everything we've been through this season, to see where we are now - the Orange Bowl - is really going to mean a lot. Not only to me, but all the seniors. If you're seniors, you can't really script it much better. You come in on a BCS team and have a chance to go out on a BCS team. It's definitely something that's going to mean a lot to me.''
Obviously, Miller didn't play in that first one. But he remembers it quite well.
''It was an amazing experience just to be out there with the guys that did play,'' he said. ''To practice with them, be their hitting dummy or whatever you want to call it. Being along that sideline during that game was just amazing. The experience was something I'm never going to forget.
''I'm hoping to be able to create that same excitement playing this year, as well as for guys who may not be playing so they can on down the road be able to understand how important it is to be able to get to a BCS game and the feeling that you can get going to something like this.''
Tavon laughs at critics
Today, WVU receiver Tavon Austin is the Big East Special Teams Player of the Year and a third-team All-American.
Austin collected a single-season school record 2,294 all-purpose yards, which included 142 rushing yards, 1,063 receiving yards, 268 punt return yards and 821 kickoff return yards. He scored touchdowns on returns of 100 yards against Marshall and 80 at USF. He set the WVU single season reception record with 89 for 1,063 yards and scored four touchdowns.
Clearly, the diminutive Austin (5-foot-9, 176 pounds) proved his doubters to be wrong.
''Even when I was in high school, (they would say) 'Tavon when you go to college, you're not going to be able to do this, you're not going to be able to do that, you're too small,' '' Austin recalled. ''Now since I've accomplished all of these goals and everything's going my way right now, I'm proud of myself. I know I'm a small person, but at the same time, I've got a big heart and soul.''
Austin still found ways to critique his own game, just as head coach Dana Holgorsen has done at times this season. Not enough consistency.
''I think I had a total of eight dropped balls,'' Austin said. ''Don't want any of those. One more hard year. Hopefully you'll see the whole thing.''
Florida connection
Nineteen different Mountaineers hail from the state of Florida, where the Orange Bowl will be played. They are:
Belle Glade: Travis Bell
Clermont: Dante Campbell
Ft. Myers: Brodrick Jenkins
Jacksonville: Isaiah Bruce, Andrew Buie, K.J. Myers
Miami: Stedman Bailey, Marquis Lucas, Ivan McCartney, Matt Moro, Geno Smith, Lawrence Smith,
Jorge Wright
Miramar: Eain Smith, Josh Taylor
Naples: David Slonski, J.D. Woods

WHEELING - U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd again makes history this week.
On Wednesday Byrd, D-W.Va, becomes the longest-serving member ever in the U.S. Congress. He will have served 20,775 days at the U.S. Capitol, which comes to 56 years and 320 days
The milestone comes just two days short of Byrd's 92nd birthday on Friday.

Gov. Joe Manchin has announced the state will commemorate Byrd's tenure in Washington with a celebration in Charleston on Wednesday.
Manchin will join members of the Legislature, congressional staff members and fellow West Virginians "to pay tribute, celebrate and recognize the many accomplishments of the state's senior senator," according to a released statement.
"On Nov. 18, a West Virginian breaks all records and makes history," Manchin said. "Sen. Byrd sets the gold standard for what it means to be an outstanding public official, and next week he will reach a historic national milestone for length of service.
"Sen. Byrd is a man of the people who fights tirelessly for us every single day in Washington. West Virginians are so thankful for Sen. Byrd's service to our state and this ceremony gives us an opportunity to applaud his efforts. Gayle and I invite all West Virginians to participate in this very special day."
The celebration starts at 3 p.m. on the second floor of the rotunda at the State Capitol in Charleston, just in front of the oversized statue of Byrd on display there. An exhibit highlighting the senator's accomplishments will follow the ceremony. He is not expected to attend.
Byrd on Wednesday surpasses in tenure former U.S. Sen. Carl Haden, D-Ariz., who served 20,774 days in Congress between Feb. 19, 1912 and Jan. 3, 1969.
First sworn in as a member of the U.S. House in January 1953, Byrd has been a member of the U.S. Senate since Jan. 3, 1959.
He became the longest-serving member ever in that chamber on June 12, 2006.
Byrd was elected to his ninth term in Congress in 2006, and the seat is next up for election in 2012.
Byrd was born Cornelius Calvin Sale Jr. on Nov. 20, 1917 in Wilkesburo, N.C. His mother died during the influenza epidemic of 1918, and he was brought to live in West Virginia by his aunt and uncle, Vlurma and Titus Byrd. The couple renamed him Robert C. Byrd.
Byrd began his political career when first elected to the West Virginia House of Delegates in 1946. Since that time, he has never lost an election.

CIOs put in charge of additional departments
The CIO is one of very few individuals in an organization with an enterprise-wide vantage point. While the heads of many business units remain relatively siloed, the IT chief must understand the full spectrum of business processes across the organization. This puts CIOs in a good position to identify organization-wide issues and solutions, and it also makes them candidates for wearing more than one hat, writes Peter High.
IT leaders communicate with the heads of business units about plans and strategies, and this makes them well-positioned to encourage better collaboration, High writes in a post at Forbes. They can come up with solutions that address multiple needs at once. What's more, IT's expertise in security, governance, procurement, people management and vendor management are highly relevant to other areas of the organization.
Because of the growing responsibilities placed on IT leadership, some CIOs are being asked to head up additional departments. There are CIOs who are also in charge of HR, Marketing, Supply Chain or Innovation. It makes sense, they say, because they are accustomed to taking on large problems by using logic. What's more, it saves the organization money.

Not 3D in the techy sense...here you have 10 animals to put together so that they have a 3D form. We like this set even more because kids can mix it up - add the giraffe top the hippo bottoms. Provides for a whimsical open-ended experience. Yes, you can match the models on the back of the box - but the point is you don't have to. Young 3s will need help learning how to fit the pieces into each other (there are slots)...4s and 5s will be less likely to have trouble doing this independently. The company has signed a verification form complying with our safety requirements. We did not independently test this toy in a lab.

Muy simpatico y amable
Very nice & clean locatioan near the airport.
"Casa do Sol" have charm in a best place of Lisbon, Alfama. The flat have eveeything to be good and is located in a silence neighbourhood and good transport conection. Bruno is a Perfect contact and he've a lot of tips from Lisbon. VinhoVerde...simply Perfect!!!
The appartment is located in a pleasant neighbourhood of Lisbon. It a spacious appartment with enough room for 4 people and a nice little garden. The equipment in the kitchen, expected for a longer stay, is limited. The appartment is located in an older building, which on one hand creates a nice environment, but it can be noisy depending on the activity of the neighbours. And as we experienced in other appartments in Lisbon the beds are of a relative poor quality, good enough for a few days but less appropriate if you stay longer.

I think he's done respectably actually. His first year was definitely a failure, but since he's improved a lot and this year he's usually had the upper hand on Nico. If not for all the technical retirements I'm pretty sure he'd have more points to his name too. He hasn't managed a win - yet - but to have gotten back onto the podium must have meant the world to him.
Realistically, the odds were against him but he hung in there, never gave up, kept on working, kept on fighting and this season he's finally been there, matching and often beating his highly-rated teammate and taking the fight to the youngsters in spite of the Merc most definitely being a midfield car.
I have nothing but respect for that. It would be great if somehow he managed to get that comeback win in one of these last few races.

Meet Our Outstanding Senior for 2010!
Mallori Gibson has specialized in sport management and completed her undergraduate degree in three and a half years with a strong GPA. In addition to her outstanding academic record, Mallori was an award-winning volleyball player at Pacific. She was twice honored as an all-conference athlete by the Big West and was also twice named to the conference's all-academic team. During her senior year, she played an instrumental role in the team's youth literacy efforts. Mallori also served as an intern at St. Mary's High School and directed youth volleyball camps for the University. She spent the summer of 2009 studying global sport management in London and Paris. Following the completion of her Master's degree, Mallori will either play professional volleyball in Europe or begin a career in college coaching or athletic administration.
Athletic Training Students on the Move
Katrina Trinidad '10, one of our senior Athletic Training students was granted a 2-year Athletic Training Graduate Assistantship at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, working with their Women's Gymnastics and Softball teams beginning in fall 2010. UNC Chapel Hill is not only very well known for its athletic teams but also has one of the best Athletic Training programs in the nation and is one of the leading institutions in research for Athletic Training.
Kyle Burnett '09, a recent alumnus who has been working as an Athletic Training Intern for us this year was granted a 2-year Graduate Assistantship at Cal State University, Fullerton, potentially working with Men's Basketball or Baseball.
Juan Lopez '11, a junior and a first-year student in our clinical education program, was selected for a summer Athletic Training internship with the San Francisco 49ers NFL team. Juan will be working alongside one of our alumni, Manny Rivera, an Assistant Athletic Trainer for the 49ers. Juan will get the opportunity to work with the players in injury evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation.
Keaton Ray '11, a junior and a first-year student in our clinical education program, was recently awarded a National Athletic Trainers Association Foundation Scholarship for $2300. This is a national scholarship awarded to Athletic Training students throughout the country who are successful academically as well as show excellent potential as a future Certified Athletic Trainer.
Four of our five graduating seniors-Anela LeCara, Darbi Scherer, Antonia Stavrianoudakis, and Katrina Trinidad-took their national Board of Certification exam to become Certified Athletic Trainers and all four of them passed the first time! This is an exciting accomplishment because this exam had a national first-time passing rate of only 43% for the 2009 - 2010 BOC exam year. So these students not only have their degrees in Athletic Training from Pacific, but they are now also Certified Athletic Trainers and ready to begin their careers!

Focus Features has done a swell job promoting Joe Wright's "Anna Karenina," but two of their small-scale year-end features aren't getting the kind of response any awards-contender needs, "Promised Land," and "Hyde Park on Hudson." Which leads me to ask what benefit these films get from being scrutinized inside the awards window. Why not give them a chance in a less competitive frame?
"Hyde Park on Hudson," the second presidential portrait of the season, hits theaters today, starring Bill Murray as Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The film, which follows the 32nd president's hosting of Brit royals at his country estate and his affair with Margaret Suckley (Laura Linney), is generally too bland and insipid for the critics -- "terribly underwritten," "tacky" and "nothing tremendously effective."
Following after "The King's Speech," which also features King George VI, "Hyde Park" feels too flimsy to warrant feature film treatment and would have fared better on television. Murray is charming as FDR, but his sexual dalliances with two women other than his wife Eleanor (Olivia Williams) are handled in an icky male-gaze way by director Roger Michell, who is off his game on this one.
Mr. Michell has fun with the royal visit, and there's an absorbing, intimate scene between the president and the king that could be a coda to "The King's Speech," the 2010 film about his relationship with his speech therapist. (You have to wonder if Daisy was added in a bid to better distinguish this movie from "The King's Speech.") Saddled with a role that groans with historical weight, yet is also terribly underwritten and underconceptualized, Mr. Murray's Franklin rarely comes to palpable life before this encounter. The actor strikes familiar poses, the famous cigarette jauntily thrusting. Yet because the movie often assumes Daisy's point of view (she also narrates), his character remains vague, remote, more of a place holder among the rest of the period-correct production design.
Though Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln is the presidential presentation of the moment, Bill Murray as Franklin Delano Roosevelt is well worth paying attention to. His FDR beautifully conveys the notion of the chief executive as seductive star performer, a man who counted on his ever-appealing charm to get his way in matters both personal and professional."
What we see is a combination of Bill Murray and FDR, which is a nice thing about the performance. It isn't mimicry, or the phenomenal transformation of Daniel Day-Lewis into Lincoln, but a more modest, impressionistic approach that's enjoyable on its own terms,..Unfortunately, the film's main concern isn't Anglo-American relations, but Roosevelt's relations, sexual and otherwise, with the women who surround him, and compete for his affection, or at least his attention.
"Half as long and twice as much fun as the self-important 'Lincoln,'' Roger Michell's charming sex-and-politics comedy 'Hyde Park on Hudson'' is basically a frothy tabloid take on presidential history."
"And if you're hoping to use this movie to cram for that upcoming history final on the New Deal or the Munich Pact, better downgrade those expectations right now. Hyde Park on Hudson has little more on its mind than hot dogs and hand jobs—which, come to think of it, would have made for a much catchier alliterative title."

Awesome code reduction man! I'm getting my Black Widow and a liPo battery in the next few days. Then I'll rip off your code and become famous!!
Just messing with you. totally sexy strip down. way to go.
I'm liking your code shrink, have you thought about using iOSC on the iPhone/iPod Touch and using WiShield/Black Widow to decode the response instead of starting an app from scratch.
Either way you go, I'm still going to be impressed.
Keep it going.
I expect a test video now, another that makes me laugh for a different reason – its all that keeps me sane at the moment!
Jokes aside, really good work mate – can't wait to see the working product and have a play!

Chimaira - The Age Of Hell
Even with all of the changes I'm still a huge Chimaira fan and eagerly awaited this release. I've got to listen to this about 3x beginning to end so I figured I'd give it a shot and do a review. I suppose if I wanted to get more people to read this I would have found someway to incorporate the word deathcore in the title since apparently deathcore = views on this board.
Since both Rob & Matt are still in the band I knew that this would still sound like Chimaira. I liked Andols as their drummer but honestly they've been through as many drummers as Spinal Tap so I knew the drum sound wouldn't be much different either. The only thing that sounds different is the backing vocals going from Chris to Sean. Not saying one is better or worse, just different. Mark is still Mark. If I had to give a compairison I'd say it's most like Resurrection, stronger songs than Impossibility, not as long as S/T & alot faster and upbeat than The Infection. I liked Infection but it was too midpaced and just kind of drug along sometimes. It took alot of listens before I could get into it. That being said... I'll just briefly go song by song:
1. Age Of Hell - Great opening song. First thing I was thinking was how much better of an opener this is than "The Venom Inside" did for The Infection that kind of drug along as far as openers go.
2.Clockwork - Probably one of my least favorite tracks on here. Don't care for the clean chorus. Kind of a weak chorus IMO. I did do a double take in the middle of the song when it slows down and there is some electronic samples and thought I was hearing things but all be damned if there wasn't a saxaphone in all of those samples.
3.Losing My Mind - Another solid track, has a great chorus and a great groove to it that you can't help but move your head to.
4.Time Is Running Out - This is yet another song that I feel has a really strong chorus as well. This is the first song where you can really hear a difference in Sean & Chris in their back up singing and honestly I think Sean's voice really works well in the background in this song. If there was a "radio" song on this album this would probably be it b/c of the strong chorus but still a heavy song.
5.Year Of The Snake - If anyone has heard anything off of this album this would probably be one of them so maybe some already know the song. Mark's voice sounds like it's on steroids in this song. Chorus got a little old on here for my liking but still a great song. Definitely a song that will get the crowd moving.
6.Beyond The Grave - Another song that should be skipped. Another slower song that should have only been a B side off The Infection.
7.Born In Blood - Another highlight on this album for me. I had no idea what the other vocals were until I remembered that Whitchapel guy did vocals on here. Those seconds he was on here was alreadly the longest I'd ever heard Whitechapel, and I'm OK w/ that. My one question is why did the riff from Resurrection get recycled again? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yv6QpPamKA go to :45 into the song and someone tell me that's not the riff from Resurrection? Outside of that yet another great song.
8.Stoma - Instrumental filler, totally unnecessary.
9.Powerless - Another song that sounds like something that should have been on The Infection cutting room floor. Song just doesn't ever really go anywhere.
10.Trigger Finger - OK so this one of the first songs released, probably as a single but I can't help but keep going back to it. Badass grove to it, very catchy chorus. Everything I love about Chimaira is in this song. Maybe I'm lame for this being my favorite song on here b/c it's the single off of it but it's just a catchy song.
11.Scapegoat - Still kinda on the fence about this one. I like the riffing, just don't know if I like hearing the chorus saying "I'm not your scapegoat, not your fucking scapegoat" seems like it gets repeated alot to me. Not sure if I like this song yet or not.
12.Samsara - This is another instrumental song, it's not like some of their other instrumentals they've done, this is actually a pretty heavy song. I really kinda wish they would have put words to this. Anyway, this will be example #2 of me saying this. 1:15 when the drums and heavy riffing start it sounds like "Everything You Love" off of their S/T album. Maybe I'm crazy but if anyone is curious I'll post links to both.
Samsara: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbjXe8w8OVQ - starts 1:15 in
Everything You Love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF8RqQPrypg - about 1 min in.
Curious if anyone else hears it to or not. I love Everything You Love So It Doesn't really bother me.
If I had to give this album a rating I'd say probably 7/10. The Chimaira I prefer most is their S/T album, sadly that didn't get the promotion that it really deserved. There were a few songs on here that would have sounded more like they should have been on The Infection. I don't forsee them getting any new fans but I think it will keep their fanbase quite satisfied. More than likely I can see this making it on my end of year list.
6/19 - American Head Charge
7/23 - Kiss
Dude Sean Z. isn't on the album. The album was done before he, Emil, and Austin joined.
How can you say Andols' departure won't be missed??? He's one of the better and more creative drummers in metal today. You can definitely notice a different presence to the songs because he's not on there. Kevin Talley did an amazing job on S/T, but that's because he's amazing as well. Andols will always be the perfect drummer for Chimaira, and I know Rob loves working and writing with him. Also, Chris only did one recorded backing vocals on Chimaira's entire discography and that was for the song No Reason to Live. You're making it seem like he recorded all backing vocals. It's all Mark. He does do a great job live, but only once in studio.
I do agree that the riff from Born in Blood is a rip off of the riff in Resurrection, but besides that it is still one of the best songs on the album.
Now that I'm really into this cd I wanted to revisit this review. Strangely enough I think it's one of their best cd's and one of my favorite cd's of 2011. I think had I reviewed it after 2 or 3 listens I would have agreed with most of your observations but after 10 or so spins some songs really grew on me.
Weird thing is while I always prefer faster/thrashier music I love the slower songs on here. Powerless, Beyond the Grave & Clockwork are not only my 3 favorite tracks on this cd, they 3 of my 20 favorite songs of 2011.
The harmonizing vocals on Clockwork are awesome. I'm really curious if they can pull them off live actually. Kinda Fear Factory-ish song with it's only flaw being the middle ambient part is a little long.
Beyond the Grave is Dead Skin Mask-ish with really cool simplified riffs. It is kinda commercial but I like it. I'll probably get tired of it at some point but I think it fits the cd perfectly where they put it and wouls be cool live.
Powerless is one of my favorite Chimaira songs every penned. I had a debate earlier this year about Protest the Hero lyrics and was made aware a song I was ragging on was about a girl dying of cancer. This is a very simiar topic and lyrically is so much more up my alley. Very dark and emotional and puts you in that place much more that the PTH song in my opinion.
I could never really get into The Infection at all. Even after seeing them live the songs just didn't compel me or translate well live. I like this cd start to finish, every song with the only weaker track being Scapegoat. Can't wait to see them live!
6/2 - Hatebreed & Devildriver
6/11 - Thrill Kill Kult
8/3 - Deftones
8/14 - Bush & Chevelle
Chimaira has been my second favorite band for the past five years and I consider myself a die hard Chimaira fan. Impossibility, self titled, Resurrection, and the Infection are all in my top 15 albums of all time. While I do really like this album, I have to say it isn't Chimaira. I hate how people think that Austin D'Amond drummed on this album when he didn't, it was their producer Ben Schigel.
I thought they'd release Resurrection part 2 (a fast paced album) after the slower paced Infection. The way I look at The Age of Hell is a B-side to The Infection. The songs are still slower paced, and with exception to Year of the Snake I don't believe a single song off this album can make any of their previous four albums.

20 More Reasons to Get Your National Park On (Part 1)
This summer, I wrote a series on the national parks I visited. Part of those blogs dealt with hiking at each of those parks. Recently, the National Geographic website had an article on the 20 best hikes in the national parks. Well, I could not resist writing about it for redOrbit. Hiking and national parks are two of my favorite things.
I thought I would highlight these hikes in two blogs. Let's get started with the first ten.
Teton Crest Trail
The first one is in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming. I visited Grand Teton and wrote about it here. However, I did not experience the Teton Crest Trail, which Nat Geo listed as one of the 20 best national park hikes. This hike is a 37-mile, moderate backpacking trip that should take about six days. It is also the signature hike of Grand Teton National Park. Apparently, at one of the passes, hikers can see Jackson Hole in Wyoming and Teton Valley in Idaho. I am sure that would be impressive.
Outer Mountain Loop
Next comes Big Bend National Park's Outer Mountain Loop hike. Deep down in south Texas, Big Bend lives on a high altitude desert. The park is vast and stunning in its emptiness. Unlike many of the other national parks, Big Bend has a sense of loneliness, but that is completely compelling to people like me. The Outer Mountain Loop contributes to its draw. At 30 miles, this 3-day moderate backpacking trip has "Hundred-mile views sweep across the hills, arroyos, and mesas of the Chihuahuan Desert with nary a sign of civilization" all from the high country of the Chisos Mountains.
Queens Garden/Navajo Loop Combination Trail
This moderate day hike (at only three miles) in Bryce Canyon National Park is definitely worth experiencing. I hiked it a few years ago and found myself feeling like I was on another planet. The rock formations and iron oxide are simply stunning yet look foreign in ways that boggle the mind. The sights will make these three miles worth every step. Nat Geo tipped that this is a great hike to do at night if the moon is full or close to it. I believe it.
Longs Peak
I wrote about Rocky Mountain National Park this summer (check it out here). Literally, you are on the top of the US when in this national park. In fact, Longs Peak is the tallest within Rocky Mountain National Park at 14,259 feet and is one of the famous 14ers. This summer I did a six-mile backpacking trip (although it easily could have been a day trip) not that far from Longs Peak. The Longs Peak trail, though, is a 16-mile hike considered a challenging peak ascent, and I would believe it. At more than two miles above sea level, though, the sights would be a-m-a-z-i-n-g.
Sargent Mountain Loop
Acadia National Park is one I have yet to visit, but I look forward to the opportunity. One reason is because of the Sargent Mountain Loop, a 5.5-mile, moderate day hike. The hike gives way to "a three-coastline view of Mount Desert Island and an inland vista that extends to distant Baxter Peak and Katahdin." Hikers will experience thick spruce-fir forests, rugged mountains, and steep cliffs. Sounds like my kind of hike.
Half Dome Hike
Anyone interested in hiking has aspirations to at least experience some of what Yosemite National Park has to offer. Half Dome Hike is one that I read about often in my hiking research. For 17.2 miles, you will "climb 4,800 feet out of Yosemite Valley and past Vernal and Nevada Falls, but the last 900 feet are right up the granite face of fabled Half Dome. Luckily, you get a hand from well-placed steel cables on your way top of the dome. It's a heart-thumping, insanely wonderful feeling to be hanging in space until you top out—and then the view takes over." Many people stay the night in Little Yosemite campground to break this challenging day hike into an overnight hike.
Grinnell Glacier Trail
Perhaps my favorite national park is Glacier National Park. It is stunning and interesting and full of great activities. One such activity is the Grinnell Glacier Trail. For a moderate day hike, take this 11-mile trail to "View many of Glacier's most iconic features—big, clear, glacial valley lakes, alpine meadows filled with wildflowers; the omnipresent possibility of seeing a grizzly—en route to a glorious view from the maw of Grinnell, one of the park's signature glaciers." These glaciers can change your life. They are that beautiful and sublime.
Angels Landing
The national parks in Utah deserve their own time. I have been to and experienced them all, still I want more. I would think a month at each would suffice. But Zion National Park needs even more time. It is breathtaking and challenging and full of great hikes, like Angels Landing. With 5.5 miles, this challenging day hike showcases some of the most beautiful of Zion's red-rock walls and sandstone canyons, but it will not be easy. With 21 switchbacks, the heart will pump and sweat flow. But it will be worth it…I promise.
Hike and Climb Mount Olympus
One of the best reasons to check out Olympic National Park is Mount Olympus. "The two-day approach [to Mount Olympus] is gentle hiking beneath towering cedars and Sitka spruce. Summit day, though, entails 3,700 feet of climbing and a traverse of Blue Glacier (ice ax, crampons, rope, and crevasse rescue gear required)—true alpine mountaineering, but without extreme elevation. The summit stands 7,980 feet high and delivers a view that extends from Mount Rainier to Vancouver Island."
Wonderland Trail
After Olympic National Park, check out Mount Rainer National Park and Wonderland Trail. For 93 miles, you can backpack some of the country's most beautiful terrains, at least in this writer's opinion. National Geographic says that this trail is a challenging backpacking trip to complete, but moderate when done in sections. If going for the completion, plan at least 10 days (with several leeway days). In the words of National Geographic, it is one of the true epic hikes in the National Park System.
This is a pretty good start, but stay tuned for more soon!

Dogs clearly were not in that group. Wayne now believes that dog and human interactions went through three primary stages:
1- Hunter gatherers, possibly even Neanderthals, interacted with dogs, probably benefiting from their presence. For example, dogs might have kept other, more dangerous, carnivores out of the way. They could have also helped with hunting.
2- With the emergence of agriculture, dogs lived near humans and adapted to an agricultural diet. Prior studies have found that dogs in such regions possess higher numbers of amylase genes that help to digest starch. Wolves have these genes too, the scientists found, but usually not in such high amounts.
3- In more recent history, humans have selectively bred dogs, which has dramatically changed the appearance, behavior and other attributes of dogs.
Throughout this overall period of time, interbreeding with wolves occurred, and still happens, further complicating the genetic relationship between wolves and dogs.
Elaine Ostrander, an investigator at the National Human Genome Research Institute, told Discovery News, "This paper is exciting for students of canine history as well as dog owners because it clarifies the events leading up to dog domestication. We now know that it was not a single event, but several, which makes sense when we think about the extraordinary variation that we seen in modern dogs."
She added, "We also know that the critical intermediate -- the dog/wolf -- is not alive on the planet today. However we don't know why. Did is suffer from some infectious disease, a plague of sorts? Was it killed off by other animals? Did it starve?"

Will Lois Lerner plead the Fifth again?
IRS Scandal | Suspense builds around IRS official's congressional appearance on Wednesday
UPDATE (10:45 a.m.): Lois Lerner, the former director of the IRS tax-exempt division, refused to testify again this morning at a meeting of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Lerner's attorney had indicated she might be willing to answer questions, but after chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., called the meeting to order, Lerner again invoked her Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination.
EARLIER STORY: WASHINGTON—A disgraced Internal Revenue Service official is keeping Capitol Hill in suspense as a hearing in which she is scheduled to testify looms Wednesday.
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has summoned Lois Lerner, former director of the IRS tax-exempt division, to re-appear at a hearing suspended last year, but it's unclear whether she will answer questions about illegally targeting conservative groups or again invoke her Fifth Amendment right not to testify.
Oversight committee chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., on Sunday told Fox News that Lerner's attorney, William Taylor, had confirmed his client would answer questions. But Taylor disputed that claim a short time later, saying he didn't know what prompted Issa's statement. In response, Issa's staff released emails from Taylor that seem to indicate he initially said she would testify.
As it stands now, according to the GOP-controlled committee, Lerner wants a one-week delay before providing testimony. The committee may grant the delay, but she will have to make the appeal in person on Wednesday. Many observers believe she will ultimately take the Fifth again, based on comments Taylor made last week in a letter to Issa saying his client fears for her life and will not testify without being granted immunity.
On May 10, 2013, the IRS targeting exploded into the national spotlight when Lerner, responding to a planted question at an American Bar Association event, apologized for the agency improperly scrutinizing conservative groups in the 2010 and 2012 elections. Later that month, Lerner appeared before the Oversight committee, read an opening statement declaring her innocence, then invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Issa, asserting her opening statement effectively waived her right not to testify, only recessed the hearing, allowing him to recall her at any time for the remainder of the 113th Congress.
Republicans want to question Lerner not only about why the IRS singled out groups with conservative names, but also about the development of proposed rules for 501(c)(4) nonprofit organizations that would dramatically reign in their activities. The administration has cast the changes as a clarifying response to the targeting revelations, but Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said the administration "fabricated" that rationale.
Last month, Camp released a 2012 email between Lerner and a senior Treasury Department official discussing plans to change the rules, and other emails show the IRS was laying the groundwork as early as 2011. Camp's committee is still trying to obtain thousands of documents from Lerner, who retired from the IRS in September.
At a hearing on the IRS targeting scandal last month, Jay Sekulow, the attorney for 41 targeted groups who are suing the government, said recent developments have made clear why Lerner took the Fifth. He said he would have advised her to do the same thing if he was her attorney.

Tattie Jam
With its big sound and unmistakable blend of instruments and vocals, Scots duo Tattie Jam brings a uniquely playful contemporary spin to trad and self-penned songs and tunes.

Tattie Jam tour dates
James Findlay
BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award winner 2010.
James comes from a family of folk singers and his enthusiasm lies firmly within the English tradition. He is particularly passionate about songs from his native west country. He couples this with an extensive repertoire and love for song.
"Bloody hell, what a voice! This was my first thought as he launched into his songs. He's warmly charismatic with that sparkle of personality that draws a crowd along with him." - JON BODEN
James Findlay tour dates
Phillip Henry & Hannah Martin
Phillip plays slide guitar, dobro, harmonica, beatbox harmonica & chatturangui. He is a figurehead for the next generation of English slide guitarists. His virtuoso playing encompasses 360 degrees of influence. He has studied the Delta blues bottleneck for many years and has developed a touch reminiscent of Ry Cooder, while his astounding harmonica technique is inspired by Sonny Terry.
Completing and complimenting this feast of music is Hannah, who is a fine fiddle and banjo player, as well as being a gifted vocalist and songwriter. Her interest in the traditional music scene around Devon (where she grew up) has led to a beautiful catalogue of songs that innovatively blend old traditions and new melodies.
Phillip Henry & Hannah Martin tour dates
Gren Bartley
Gren Bartley is a prolific and exceptional songwriter. He is constantly touring and forever writing. The critically acclaimed new album "Winter Fires" (out Spring 2013) is yet another giant leap forward and is building further upon the success of "Songs To Scythe Back The Overgrown" 2012. "A quiet triumph, no less" - fRoots
Gren Bartley tour dates
GU4 (Guffaw)
GU4 are a four part acappella harmony group based in Leicestershire. Their rich sound has won many fans and is now taking them to clubs and festivals throughout England. Armed only with a set of pitch pipes, they perform a wide variety of material ranging from gentle and sensitive love songs that can hold an audience rapt in silence, to raucous chorus numbers delivered with such verve that even the most reticent are encouraged to join in. Their repertoire comes straight from the English tradition or from contemporary writers such as Peter Bellamy, Graeme Miles, Benny Graham, George Thomas and their own Miggy Campbell.

Ferndale police have arrested a resident they say wore a plastic Darth Vader mask before pulling a butcher knife and robbing a convenience store.
Police in the Detroit suburb say the man fled Monday after demanding all the cash from the register.
Lt. William Wilson tells The Daily Tribune of Royal Oak the suspect goofed by putting on the mask while in range of a store surveillance camera.
Forty-one-year-old Jamie C. Hernandez was arraigned Thursday. District Court Magistrate James Brennan set his bond at $50,000.
Hernandez was in the county Thursday night, and it wasn't known if he has a lawyer.
Wilson says Hernandez got the mask from one of his children.

American Idol: Paula Abdul Weighs In On Her Replacement
September 17, 2009 03:36 PM by Britteny Elrick
Everyone seems to have an opinion regarding the recent news that Ellen DeGeneres will be replacing Paula Abdul on this season of American Idol. So what does the pint-sized former judge have to say about this? Find out what Paula said in her first interview since hearing the news…
According to Usmagazine.com, Paula told the Johnjay and Rich Show, "It's just going to be a different show." When asked if she has had any mental breakdowns regarding her decision to leave she said, "I think that happened during the time I was making that difficult decision [to leave], where I was fighting with myself back and forth. Am I willing to go against what my beliefs are and have the same outcome?"
As far as her future plans, Paula said, "I am doing so many things, I can't wait to tell you. I see myself…such a big part of what I've been doing is helping other people realize their dreams. I've only scratched the surface of things I want to do."
"So I'm actually getting to do all the things that represent who I am. People have no idea," she concluded.
